    Abbey Road Orchestra Violins 1 (Just the Basic Info)

    I'm wondering if anybody tried to add some of the Close mic to the Mix1? I was expecting to ear some phasing issues since Mix1 already have a curated blend of spots. But i don't ear much phasing so far.

    Art Conductor vs self made expression maps etc

    I appreciate the possible workarounds but if I’m gonna spend money for maps I can do myself, it’s specifically to save times. ain’t got time to edit and resave the maps. But I’m confident that Babylonewave could make the key switch remote version available if enough users are demanding it.

    Art Conductor vs self made expression maps etc

    Same here, Since v8 I think, the remote key switches are mostly assigned to poly aftertouch and since I don't use a iPad for key switches I stopped using the BW maps for new libraries. But if there was a version for standard KS for non metagrid users, I would certainly use them.

    How could I get a tone similar to this in Amplitube 5? I need help please

    Sure, Excuse my really bad playing, not a real guitarist, but here's two guitar tones i made with Bias Fx Blackface and Blackface V2 amps using the neck pickup on my Telecaster. Not spot-on but in the same ballpark I think. If it's not close enough, maybe you should ask a proper guitarist to...

    How could I get a tone similar to this in Amplitube 5? I need help please

    Turn up the gain (volume knob) until the amp start overdriven. Be sure to send enough signal to the plugin (in Kontakt)

    How could I get a tone similar to this in Amplitube 5? I need help please

    Ok, I'm not familiar with the Mesa Boogie amps so I will let the pros help you. But as a general rule, the input gain is always really important to have just the right amount of crunch in that kind of sound. And it sound like there's some kind of Uni-Vibe pedal on the chords tracks only

    How could I get a tone similar to this in Amplitube 5? I need help please

    I'm not a guitar expert but for me it sound like a Telecaster in Fender Twin Blackface. The twangy sound of the guitar, the king of drive of the amp and the spring reverb. I just try my telecaster with a Blackface in Bias FX 2 and it's really close.

    But what about the AR Percussion at 449$ X 3 without timpani and pitched percussions? More studio time? And percussions samples must be easier to edit/program, there's no complex legato patches. I think the pricing on the percs is high compared to the strings.
