locrian Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 5 minutes ago, Brian Walton said: And AT5 would get more use if they can optimize the resources, it is a massive hog compared to the PA suite, insane for something many of us need to be zero latency, real time in the context of a project (not just stand alone) Until recently I seldom used AT5 for the same reason. But this year I decided to seriously limit new purchases and instead learn what I already own which, it turns out, is amazing. And so that's why I tried AT5 first. 8 minutes ago, Brian Walton said: I found some of the old PA ENGL amps unusable, but they have others such as the Train II which has a level of realism I find lacking in the AT5 package (I own all of them). Though they are absolutly usable in the context of a mix too. The smooth filter as well as EQ in post can help some of the harshness. AT5 can have that nice processed sound out of the gate which limits the highs and harshness. The PA stuff sounds a bit more like a recording chain where you get the amp and the gear captured. Thanks for the info. I've tried what you've described but still was not happy with the sound. I have enough other amp sims -- and now know them well enough -- that I can find the sound I'm looking for w/o needing to engage in EQ surgery. Given that I do everything from initial writing to final mastering I've adopted strategies such as relying heavily on presets to finish work in a reasonable amout of time. And this is particularly useful given that I write everything from scratch; i.e., I don't use loops. The only exception is drums, and for those I use them as starting points and heavily edit them such that the end result is something novel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) Question re: PA amp sims - how do you get the presets for the VST3 versions to show in Cakewalk? Edit: Never mind - remembered how... This works but it's a bit of a PITA to cycle through presets. They really should update the GUI to let you manage presets directly from within the plugin...

DeeringAmps Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I did "stack" them, didn't I? Hold on! I got $25 for the Survey, now I get it!? discount went to $25 and I just assumed...

Carl Ewing Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Got email that $20 voucher can now be used again. You know - I think the point of me getting subscription was that I would use the yearly voucher to get everything I wanted and then end the subscription. Last year, that was 5 specific plugins. But through the year I picked up those 5 with the various sales / subscriptions. Plus an additional 10. Then I got 5 more with the yearly voucher. And there are still others I want. It never ends. It's like a nightmare. Haha. (cries) Edited December 28, 2021 by Carl Ewing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
