Re: Neural Amp Modeler LV2 plugin

After some more testing and playing around with some profiles from the Facebook NAM Discussion Group , I am really impressed with the results. Although it is too early to say for sure, it might become might default guitar amp simulation software. Thanks for the plugin (and saving me from having to u...

Re: Neural Amp Modeler LV2 plugin

Of course, user error! The actual profiles are .nam files. The files I had were not, so it would just crash. Maybe it would be nice if the plugin could prevent the crash and just issue a warning. In Carla it can be loaded by clicking on the gear icon, and in Ardour by opening the plugin. Thanks for ...

Re: Neural Amp Modeler LV2 plugin

Thanks for that! I had just heard about it and was considering trying with Wine. I could compile it and load it in Carla, but I see no way to load a profile... In Ardour, opening the plugin asks to load a file, but when trying it, Ardour crashed, although I am not sure if I am doing something wrong....

Re: VST Amp/Pedal Sims

I really like tamgamp . I used it all the time (with IRs) and really like it! (Mostly the JCM800.) It is rarely mentioned, even though is my favorite of all Linux plugins I've tried. There is also the new (at least to me) Neurontube , which I did not test very much, but seemed to be good at a first ...

Re: Mayb I'm a Leo (Deep Purple cover)

Hi, Rainmak3r! Thanks for listening and commeting! As a long time Deep Purple fan, nice cover! Thanks! I am huge fan too. In fact, I started playing the guitar because of Deep Purple! I find the main riff a bit too "stiff", though: guitar and organ are playing too much of the same thing, w...

Re: "Old New" (v2.0)

Thanks all for the kind words! I forgot to subscribe (although I could swear I had!) and did not see that there were new replies... This one gives me some serious Vince DiCola vibes. Your guitar tone is excellent and the solo has a huge emotional impact. Thanks for sharing! Thanks! I must admit I di...

Mayb I'm a Leo (Deep Purple cover)

Here is a cover of Maybe I'm a Leo, by Deep Purple . I've used this MIDI , and the author(s) did an outstanding job! I modified a lot of things, but the hardest part was already done. I've used a lot of IK Multimedia software this time: Hammond B-3X, MODO Bass, and the guitars were recorded with Amp...

Re: On Drumgizmo velocities

I've had difficulties with velocities in the past, and this might explain it. (I program in the MIDI editor. I do not play with a kit or pads.) Even when trying really low numerical values I did not seem to get much "softer" hits, and mostly assumed it simply was they way it worked. I will...

Re: "Old New" (v2.0)

I just listened again and either my ears are not as good or something. There is a slightly odd impression. It has to do with the cymbals. Some of it might be MP3 artefacts. The rides around 18-19 seconds appear very dry, compared to the rest. The crashes before that, as I said, appear to have some ...

Re: ACM520X1 Stereo Bus Compressor Plug-In for Linux Released

I just bought it. There is supposed to be a 25% discount with the code ED70004D, but i didn't see anywhere the possibility to apply this code. So the full price was applied. Did it happen to any other consumer ? Same here... Although I suppose it is my fault for not being more careful (I though I c...

Re: "Old New" (v2.0)

Thanks jeanette_c for checking! Hey, this is a very fun song! Great sounds in there! Sometimes, especially, in the intro the instruments still feel a little separate, Hmm.... Interesting. Any guesses what is the issue? I am not sure I can tell, but I've listen to it so many times that I might just b...

Thanks (again) Rainmak3r for checking! Wow, as a fan of the 80's, your track is great on so many levels! I really loved the overall vibe and sound, but the guitars sound especially amazing: Thank you so much! I've seen your guitar work as well, so I don't take your compliments lightly. :-) I haven't...

That's a great track!

But, I prefer the sound of the snare in the original.

Thanks for checking! I will have to revisit the original and check the snare.

"Old New" (v2.0)

I decided to rework my first full production (from 5 years ago), since I was hoping that I could do a better job with these years of practice. (See my original post here in this forum: https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?t=16926.) So I guess this is the new "Old New". ;-) I reprogramm...

Re: Steinway Model B SFZ and Kontakt formats at Pianobook 5gig

Thanks for posting those! I most often use the Linux Sampler Maestro Concert Grand , which I quite like. (It is a bit "dark", but is sounds quite good after some EQing.) I look forward giving these a try! Maybe these will save me from wanting to buy Pianoteq... I've never used Kontakt befo...
