yeto Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hi, I downloaded this software but I can't figure out how to use it. Can someone point me in the right direction? I want to enter some notes in PRV and then have them sound like they are coming out of a Mesa Boogie guitar amp. Also, if anyone would know of a virtual instrument that sounds like a Les Paul/Mesa Boogie combination that might would be easier. As you can tell from my questions I am still learning. https://www.ownhammer.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=181&products_id=411 Thank you in advance for any help, yeto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Impulse Response files need to be loaded into an IR player. After a quick glance at the Ownhammer, it appears they only supply the IR files. CbB comes with a version TH3 which has IR Cabinet component and REmatrix Solo an IR Reverb. I don't care for either when using 3rd party IR files because both plug-ins must import the files rather than simply reading them from disk. Instead, I would use one of the IR plug-ins from MeldaProduction. MConvolution is free and the license for the MXFreeBundle is only $28. Yes, the bundle is free but purchasing a license comes with benefits, see https://www.meldaproduction.com/MFreeFXBundle Another free IR plug-in is Convolution XT. I have no experience with it but it looks pretty good. The IR plug-in goes in the audio track FX Rack. Still that just covers the cabinet IRs, still need to figure out what sound source to use for the guitar and amp. I will leave that to users that rely on plug-in tech for suggestions. When I need a guitar sound, I record it. I might go through an amp sim like TH3 which is bundled with CbB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to look for something simpler. I am glad I asked about this as I have learned a lot from your response. Kind regards, yeto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude77 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hi Yeto, I know it seems complicated, but it's really not. If it seems over your head, see if something like this will work for you: https://www.amplesound.net/en/index.asp Also Sampletank has some decent guitars/amp sounds: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/st4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davet Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Yeah, I'll second TH3. It's a guitar amp emulator from Overloud included with Bandlab. Insert an audio track, click effects and select TH3 from the guitar category. Drag an amp from the window on the right into the main window, easy from there. It does work. Remember to enable the echo (monitor) button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeringAmps Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Yeti, You need an instrument to feed the amplifier. Correct me if I’m wrong, you are not playing a real guitar. Jude77 listed a couple of options. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeringAmps Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 You need an electric guitar VSTi. There are guitar sounds in TTS-1 that you can experiment with, get familiar with combining the guitar and amp. There’s many out there, download some demos and check it out. Then you can decide which “guitar” works best for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
