AE's New Nebula Thread

..considering sampling speakers and amps, like how well analytical methods, such as Volterra series or dynamical convolution, are doing in future with complex dynamical nonlinearities of the hard driven speaker or tube-amplifier circuit. I believe there is also some true physics-based models for accurate real-time simulation eventually coming.

this is way over me...i had to read several timers and still don´t get it o_O

Hi Pot, here is a good article about the backround.

It just so that for example in high gain amps (or fuzzes, snares, speakers etc.) there are these "complex dynamical nonlinearities" going on and every amp modeller tries to handle these as well as they could to get realistic results.

Basically I wanna know if there will be a day I could sample and model my amp with NAT. Um, like when computers are hundreds time faster than now...Nebula deals with Volterra series or dynamical convolution which are discussed in the article too (pages 10 of 16).
 
Hey AeternusEternus thank you so much for the work you put into these programs.:worship: Just purchased Nebula2 and I'm stunned. Don't know how close they sound to "real" cabs, but for me they are just fantastic! I wish I could contribute something but unfortunately I don't have the gear...

Anyways, I tested them with my old Boogie Studio Preamp. I will post a clip or two in the next days.

I didn't know about that article! thank you!!
Here an other article about nebula (and its sampler: nebulasampler = nat):

It was stuffing up again on the weekend I promised. Getting random noise. so I didn't get a chance before I went to the Gold Coast for a Holiday. I got back on Wednesday. So I'll give it another go this weekend. I have no time during the week because of work.
 
Disappointing to hear about all the technical hiccups going on. I hope you're able to work through them. I'm really anticipating this.

Ditto! Also, has anyone bugged Ryan (Catharsis) about his testing with Nebula lately? I'd love to hear that as well.
 
sooo excited about some new nebula programs! cant wait. :worship:

maybe i will do some programs myself. but im sure they will sound like :puke:

would love to hear some guitarhacks nebulas!
 
I have had Nebula3 for a while now, mainly use it for the EQ's. I'm willing to try to sample my Mesa Boogie oversize cab with Celestion V30's. Is there a guide or general instructions on how to do this? I'm guessing I need to run a line out from my ASIO interface into the effects input or guitar input on the amp head, then record that into an input on the ASIO interface. Is that how it works? Also, won't the amp settings effect the tone?
 
The acusticaudio website has some good tutorials and Quick Start guides with screen shots that will show you step by step how to use the NAT sampler to sample your cabs and create Nebula programs. Go to the Downloads section on the website and look under Documents. The NAT sampler includes many test tones for you to use, and NAT will automatically deconvolve the test tones and create the Nebula programs which you can then check out in Nebula to see how they work.

All in all, once you go through the tutorials and do a practice run or two, you'll find that it's a straightforward process. As usual, the learning curve simply centers around how to tell NAT to do its thing. I've only scratched the surface in my own experiments using the NAT sampler, but it's obvious from looking at its features that NAT is powerful and flexible.
