Sound toys for Boss Chorus?
I slipped into a daze, whilst I was there I heard the most startling music, it was at once familiar and alien, reassuring and unsettling.

Plus one, and with the routine options and tools? GR rocks the clean sound world.leedsquietman wrote: I think GR excels at clean tones and it's piezo acoustic simulations rule IMHO.
Unfortunately the distortion choices are practically unusable.

Yeah, like Sampletank.kvitamin wrote:Yah Amplitube rocks, too bad it is practically useless with ableton. It will crash the program everytime you use it.

I struggle along with GR4 at the moment.
Re: Boss effects as plug-ins?
I use it all the time with no crashes. Really. It's in my default template even. OS X 10.5.8, Live Suite 8.1.1. Worked with previous L8 (and L7) versions too. I use the AU version and the X-gear wrapper.kvitamin wrote:Yah Amplitube rocks, too bad it is practically useless with ableton. It will crash the program everytime you use it.
Actually, I find the standalone version to be less stable than the AU version in Live!
Edit:
I just realised that I used it with my old PC too, so apparently it worked for me as a VST under XP back then. I honestly can't remember it ever crashing in Live. (I've had lots of crashes with L8! Just not Amplitube-related.)
L8.1.4 Suite, MBP Unibody 2.4 GHZ 4GB OS X 10.6.4, Apogee One, Akai LPK25, Novation Nocturn, Korg Legacy w/MS20i controller, ComboSister, Moog Modular V, Oddity, Amplitube, T-Racks, CSR, Roland TD-12, guitars and basses and whatever...

Re: Boss effects as plug-ins?
I mostly record distortion by micing up an amp set to overdrive with a Shure SM57.
Failing this, I use Guitar Rig and usually have to do a lot of messing around to get it sounding OK, more EQing, compression, messing with pan settings etc than a man ought to have to to get it to sit right.
BTW - the Amplitube are (mostly unlicensed) SIMULATIONS of those pedals. I mean Guitar Rig models most of those already but calls them under different names (often not very subtle, such as 'The Kat' being an emulation of 'The Rat' stompbox popular in the 80s.)

Re: Boss effects as plug-ins?
yah, I updated to 8, saved too many of my projects in it to go back to 7 and now amplitube crashes everytime i use it. I posted crashlogs when I was using beta versions, and asked IK Multimedia but never got any answers. If anyone is running it smoothly in 8 I would be curious to see what your setup is like.
Re: Boss effects as plug-ins?
See my reply to you a couple of posts up (including the sig). Has worked in all 8.1.2 betas too, so far. Haven't really tried it with 8.1.2.b5 yet.kvitamin wrote:yah, I updated to 8, saved too many of my projects in it to go back to 7 and now amplitube crashes everytime i use it.

Re: Boss effects as plug-ins?
the external plugin sounds like the best bet, using the actual pedals
i have been thinking about pulling my sansamp rbi out of my bass rig and putting it in the synth rig to run things through it
this thread has solidified that decision for me

Amplitube is better than Guitar Rig.kvitamin wrote:Yah Amplitube rocks, too bad it is practically useless with ableton. It will crash the program everytime you use it.
and I use it all the time in Ableton without it crashing.

This is why I have this thing on my 2010 audio gear budget:am wrote:if you have the actual pedals still...
why don't you create an external audio effect, and use the real thing!
http://www.radialeng.com/di-xamp.htm
Use a line out from my interface into the X-Amp, the X-Amp outputs the signal into the guitar pedal at Hi-Z level, plug the output of the guitar pedal either into the Hi-Z instrument input on my interface, or into a guitar amp with a microphone on it. Wa-laa.
Plug ins are cool, but this is pretty rad too.
