AMPLITUBE 3 DEMO OUT NOW!!

[updog]

I have my doubts, but I'm gonna give it a shot.

I always thought that amplitube was the worst sounding ampsim after GR3 and 4.
But this sounds much better than Amplitube 2.
It sounds still a bit 'artifical' here and there but overall it's a big improvement!

I like the new looks and the modelled pedals seem great.

 

[Let it burn...]

Is this CPU heavy?

weird thing is that in pro tools 8, I got hiccups using 64 samples, and everything is fine in Logic 9 with 32 samples :zombie:

 

[TheDriller]

I'm absolutely in love with the 5150 in this thing.

all of the amps seem to have great dynamics and pick response.

Man... do a side by side comparison. It's fucking NIGHT and DAY. Night and day man.

I'm with you drew - how can anyone do a side by side and think this sounds the same as amplitube 2 or Metal?

The following opinion takes a lot of flak whenever it is expressed... but Pro Tools is fucking dogshit for anything except audio recording and editing. It consistently has issues like what you describe whenever I've used Superior 2.0, BFD2, or any other heavy plugins.

It's audio engine and processor addressing is just old and knackered. Awful program.uke:

Upon first listen it sounds much better indeed. But it didn't convince me to buy Amplitube 3, at least not yet. I'm going to fiddle some more with it later

How are the cab models compared to the best external Impulses?

 

[hoehlentroll]

compared it out of memory. i'll do a a-b comparison.

 

[Ermz]

.... how does it sound on bass?

 

[Uncle Meat]

Sounds a lot better than Amplitube 2/Metal, but nothing amazing. With so many good free amp sims/impulse responses I can't see this being worth it.

Something I quickly recorded with it (sloppy ) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4211101/Music/Testicles.mp3

sorry guys but these tones sound like complete shit.

 

[Proggm]

Didn't have much hope on this one (all the samples I've heard sound like crap), but dl'ed the demo, and... well, it's awesome when dialed right. Will post something tomorrow.

Word, I only spent a few minutes with it. Doesn't help that I'm a horrible guitarist either.

No dude it's not your fault, it's really a plastic sound out of the box period.
For crunchy stuff a la ACDC maybe it's good, but for metal it sucks

That's how I felt messing around with it. I play bass though, only play guitar for writing songs, so it's always hard for me to get good sounding clips.

I think you can get some cracking tones out of this thing.

I'm of the thinking that it's impossible to truly form a good opinion of it without some deep editing and time with it. Last night I spent quite a bit of time reading the manual and trying to wrap my head around some of the new stuff involved in the cabinet section alone. I went through the presets and as always, I tend to hate most presets (especially for hi-gain amps), but even with that said, they are immensely better than they were in AT2 of any form - but, when I took some of the presets and did a little tweaking for my gear I was able to get a tone that made me smile. But back to the point - I have a hard time seeing anyone dismiss this product after less than a day with it - I almost did that with GR4 and while it took me a while, I'm of the mindset that it was a great advance over what it replaced and I'm sure Amplitube 3 is a great advancement over Amplitube 2. Get intimate with it guys, get down to the level you would if it were a real amp, mic, pre, room, effects - it's a complicated beast of a product that will take time to learn the ins and outs. Also - look to it for more than just hi-gain - it's got some great other uses at least to me as I don't only toy around with the 5150 model.

Just my 2 cents. Write it if off you want, say the free options are better (for you they may indeed be), I have a feeling AT3 is going to get some great use for a large group of people making music not only in metal but in all genres of music.

Bah it's the same shit as lepou's, tse x30 and other free stuff.
The difference is that amplitube has a lot of bad simulated gear but it's not free.
I won't pay any euro for it.

At the moment, ALL guitar amp plugins are a BIG SHIT compared to real gear.

Don't be wrong, I am not the Big mouth in this forum.
