And you're right about the real thing having more low end heft to it. Same thing for IKMM with their emulation of the Mutron III envelope follower. It's screechy as hell and requires way more input level that the original h/w version. Unless I get some kind of discount deal from Arturia I'm giving it a pass. It's overpriced and Arturia is tone-deaf with their pricing in these times. |

Re: New Product Releases - Please post here!
I just picked these effects up myself, but have yet to give them a good thrashing.
What I can say about analogue devices, though, is something, I've said many times... they're not all the same. Asides from the wear and tear and the repairs the see over time, and the margin for error in component manufacturing (tolerances), components are often swapped out all the time as they need to work with what's available. The more older the device, the more this is likely to happen. This is why you would see noticeable differences with plugins. After all, they didn't model the device you have access to, they modelled another one and its slightly different characteristics. That in turn will be running through a pristine signal chain, which will be very much unlike how anybody is using the real deal. So of course its going to sound a bit different. You're right about the demos not being that great though. I try to hear past that and picture what it is they can do for other instruments. There is certainly an iconic aesthetic about the effects. Retro isnt everything though. People so often over romanticise things of the past without realising stuff was never really as good as how they are picturing it. |

Looks great! I really like some of my IK MM products. I don't like the install, authorisation or download policy. Hopefully they will upgrade those too at some point? Anyhow, I'll look to upgrade to AmpliTube 5 when the price is right. Stephen

As for Amplitube 5, I'm holding for either a sale price or the aforementioned Total Studio 3. Well in all fairness it is on sale, but it's Black Friday and I'm finding myself gravitating to even bigger markdowns that you only ever usually see this time of year. |
