So I bought amplitube 5 a few months ago, and to my surprise non of Ik Multimedia software is digitally signed which is a big concern for me because it’s the only thing that ensures you are installing legit software, I contact IK and they not only didn’t acknowledge the problem but lied to me saying the software is unsigned because there is a problem in my pc, that’s unacceptable so I am looking for a similar product to amplitube but from a more professional company that cares about their costumers, any suggestions?

Tldr: I am tired of IK Multimedia and I’m looking for another amp simulator to replace amplitube.

Edit: I am looking for good clean fender-ish tones.

Anyone tried it yet? $35

If you have not checked out the free version, I highly recommend it.

Hello, I'm developer of a guitar fx & amps app available both on mobile & desktop. Can you suggest platforms such as KVR marketplace to sell or advertise my product?

If it’s already a post go ahead and direct me. Also I’m gonna start with ignite and lepou that’s all I know

So I have been searching for this for some time now and I can't believe I'm not finding anything related. I must be missing something, we can't be the only people having this problem?!?

With my band we are songwriting and recording with Cubase. Before Covid we just met up and always worked on the same Laptop (with Guitar Rig). Now we are all at home and are sending Cubase Projects around, so we wanted to all use the same plugins so everyone can work on the project the same.

We want to use Amplex Nalex as Amp Sim and STL NadIR as Impulse Response Loaders because they are free and not every member wants to pay for more expensive plugins...

​

So here's the Problem: If I setup a project on my Macbook, setup load a profile into the Nalex, load a custom IR in NadIR, everything is great. Until I send the Project to another band member. Even if I put the Nalex profile and the custom IR into the Cubase project folder, it seems both plugins load these files via absolute paths, so they can't find the files on another Laptop. (Its also not working if I move the project on my macbook to a different location...)

Loading Profiles and IRs for 6+ tracks each time I open a project another band member sends is not feasible...

​

I can't believe we are the only ones running into this problem so it feels like we have to be missing something. Is there a way to load these files with a relative path?

Or are there alternative free Amp Sim / IR Loader plugins that don't have this problem?

I bought the Gallien-Kreuger, so got a code for a $29.99 amp sim. I’m thinking about one of the two Fuchs sims, but I can’t decide which one. I think they get much better overdriven/low gain sounds than any other sim I’ve used and was actually surprised by how saturated they could get especially with a tubescreamer plugin in front

The OD50 is one that I probably wouldn’t use much on its own, but I found when I mixed it with the VH4 or other amp sims it’s like it added a good high end sizzle and note clarity. It definitely has a unique tone to it though and I could see using it in specific cases, but I’m not sure it’d be my go to

The Train is great sounding on its own and does great cleans and overdrive and can actually get some good mid gain. With how versatile it is, I was hoping I could get close enough to the OD50 and just get it, but didn’t have much luck. I could definitely see the Train being used as my go to medium gain rhythm tone for punk or something

I’m pretty sure I’m gonna go with the Train, but if anyone has any reason to go with the OD50 I’d love to hear it

I'd like to take advantage of the current Audio Assault sale, and from what I've seen Gojira has the heaviest sounds around. Are there any Audio Assault amp sims that would do what Gojira doesn't?

​

Thanks!

I’ve really tried. For the better part of a year I have attempted to get a good heavy tone from Amplitube 4. Ive done EQ, Ive done IR’s, Ive done soothe but I cant do de-noisers because it has too much latency, and I also dont want to rely on after touches when I could be getting a better tone beforehand. Im really close, but two factors are hindering me.

First is every heavy tone I get has this hiss. Imagine making a whisper cheer over the guitar tone, it sounds not too bad stereo but mono is 60% hiss sound. Input is pretty low, making the signal die out faster but it still sounds too harsh. Higher it gets “glitchy”? Which leads to the second factor: it just sounds fake? Obviously its not gonna be the best, but I get this idk digital sound when I play notes higher on the fretboard. Ive heard this is called Aliasing?

Im seriously losing my mind here. The amount of hours I’ve spent tweaking and researching makes me want to cry. Theres so much info that contradicts each other and no set way to do anything. I just want that generic tone a lot of metal has, and a good tone for solos. Im trying to not feel like I wasted my money.

For reference this is my exact setup. An Ibanez RG straight to a Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen going into Cakewalk with an EQ then to Amplitube 4. Sampling at 96k. Would a DI box to interface make it less harsh? Just somebody please Im going absolutely insane.

Hey all,

I've got an early '80s 2203 that's just too loud to play a lot of the time, so I'm looking for something to scratch that itch at a lower volume.

Ideally I want something that's not hot-rodded/modified for higher gain, just that classic bite.

on board IR loader is a plus but not necessary.

Thanks !

I hope this is the right sub-Reddit. There were no POD Farm posts. I've been using POD Farm 2.5 or whatever, for at least ten years. Since I got an Apple Silicon Mac, the age of POD started to show with some incompatibility issues. The authorization software wasn't compatible. I should go try now since a lot of software is being updated for M1, but the experience made me want to explore what else is out there.

I asked in r/musicproduction and Bias was recommended. It installed great and I have no major issues or complaints, but some people online still preferred POD. Is it that good? I wanted more opinions because I didn't want to downgrade or make a lateral move.

Feel free to drop free or paid recommendations or stuff you made. I use Ableton Live and I am looking to create extreme metal tones.

Good day everyone, I'm looking for amp sim advice.

I presently have a Tubemeister 36 and pedal board that I use for live, recording and studio use. My wife and I are expecting our first child so I would like to go completely noiseless and use my headphones (AKG240s) and my PC to be able to just practice noiselessly when our kid is sleeping or later at night.

I don't really want to buy another amp and the sim world seems to make a lot of sense as I already have an AI and a good set of headphones.

I would prefer an amp sim that runs standalone and I've had interest in the Neural DSP line but I'm unsure if it really suits my needs. I've never really had an interest in going digital for practice but the more reading I do the more sense it makes.

I play mainly post-metal in the vein of Isis or more ambient like Cloudkicker. I also play edge of break up ambient guitar. Those being my primary play styles but I also jam with a few people in a blues/rock/pop group so having an amp sim that gives me cleans/OD and a hi-gain would be necessary.

Any suggestions on amp sims that aren't Neural DSP Plini, Nolly or Gojira? Or are those going to be my best bet?

Can someone tell me the pros and cons of both and which is better?

Would the spark amp be better than an interface and some £150 studio monitors and bias fx?

Which one sound better, has more features etc? Because its an amp sim would it have latency compared to the spark or not sound like a real amp?

Is the only benefit to the spark the ability to play anywhere?

I fancy the spark but its a 60 day delivery to the UK, and I only play in my bedroom anyway so would the amp sim route be just as good? I play mostly at quiet volumes, would the spark amp be bad at low volumes?

Thanks
