particularly for guitar players. its certainly got me kinda stoked. i'm seriously considering tradeing in or selling some gear to get it. anybody useing ? any problems ? just a slew of guitar amp models //fx etc etc.
I use Amplitube 5 with all the bells and whistles and love it. I do not have the AXEIO. Got Amplitube 4 as part of total studio max 2 and updated it to 5 when it was released at no cost to me which was great. Lots of good tones available and didn't need a new interface. Depending on what interface you currently have for guitar you may not need to get this and the money is better spent on Amplitube 5. Right now with IK's buy one get many free deal, they are up to get 10 for price of 1 right now and about move to next level, that would be money well spent. Lots of good products, if you don't already have them, available with this deal and Amplitube is one of the qualifying products that you could buy. May want to act fast as this deal could end tomorrow, but I think if they exceed the next level it will be extended or at least that is what I thought I read.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
So the question is do you like the real valve sound of a screaming guitar or will you be happy with the emulation of one?
Personally I would choose the Amplitube version as you will get a ton of amps, a ton of effects, and a ton of cabinets. There is probably more there than you will ever use.
Good luck.

etcjoe and Mario. thanks for the comments. ive been doing lots of research on the ik axe. but cant find RTL figures. also i cant discern how dsp processing is done on board. my concern is gotta be carefull the amp plug ins dont overload my pc when playing back traks. anyone got any amplitude cpu use figs ?
Mario. nah i was born poor. wife and i are typical overtaxed middle class folk..lol. fwiw i do songs on a very tight shoestring budget.
I just ran a couple of tests. I have an i7-2600K, 4 core, 3.4 GHz CPU with 16 gigs of ram. I ran Amplitube 5 as a stand-a-lone with one amp (you can have up to three amps running simultaneously), one cabinet, and 4 effects. My CPU usage was 20%.
I also ran the same Amplitube 5 configuration as a VST in my DAW Studio One Pro 5. My total CPU usage was 26%. Thus very little CPU is being used in my system, but I know that yours may/will be different. I also know that this is just one instance of Amplitube. I have had 3 or 4 instances of Amplitude along with many other tracks with different effects with no problem. YMMV

We have a lot in common my friend!

I agree the combo is a good buy at 399. I was only referring to the bang for your buck if you want to pick up a bunch of IK stuff their big group buy in promotion is going on and is up to the 10 items for the price of 1 and almost up to 11 per the email I got this morning, which means it will continue into September since more than 10000 people have bought in and registered their stuff. Each time it goes up an item, you can go back and get another one.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
Mario, Amplitube 5 Max is only $399 not $599 (I just checked the website), and for that same $399 you can get it with the AXE IO so it is a no brainer at that point.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
i figured if the dsp emulations were good they would need to use quite a bit cpu. this is one reason ive stuck with the free freeamp , and reaps built in js amp sims.
as well as latency figs, does anybody know whether the ik axe drivers are "multi client" ? i cant find info.
there is also the axe solo at 250 buks. but only one mic pre. problem is , if that one pre goes on the fritz, as i do tons of vocs //voc traks i'm toast. vocs is kinda my "thing". i love doing vocs.
i guess the nice thing about the expensive interfaces the big studios use is cpu load for plug ins etc is offloaded onto the interface itself. eg UAD do that ?? but i cant afford the prices and i'm worried bout obsolescence.
hopefully we will see more lower end interfaces do more dsp on board rather than useing the host pc cpu. this is where the audient sono might be interesting ? dunno.
tech drives me nuts...lol. best om
ps mario. check out two notes engineering re amp sims etc. really cool hardware and software stuff too. (they seem to want cookies ?)
In all the years I have been in digital recording, I have tried a number of the digital guitar sims. Maybe it's just me, but I can never seem to get a usable (for me), tone that I actually like. I have preferred some sort of hardware version. I have a Line 6 POD2 and a newer Spark amp. The POD is direct to the recording process and the Spark like my Mesa is an amp that gets mic'd. Both the POD and the Spark are software modelers. I can deal with those as they provide a decent sound and tone. It's the completely in the DAW modeling that I don't like. And yeah, I actually have several different ones in the DAW.
MAybe this new one from IK will be a good one. It does have the hardware aspect and looks like it interfaces with the software so..... aside from the price.... it looks promising. It would be a bit more encouraging to have someone from the mail room who happens to play guitar a bit do the commercial..... after all..... JS is one of the best in the biz and could get killer tone on a Sears silver tone and a Kustom amp. ;-)

I have Guitar Rig 4,5,6. Got started when it came with cakewalk. I have Amplitube but really like it the most for the Soldano 100 super lead. Also a few Fender amp sims.
All my tube amps, well, you can hear them at your house...lol Not so good for where I live now.
Here is the problem with Guitar Rig 5...too much stuff to remember.
Guitar rig equivalencies Posted on 12 May, 2013 The nice Guitar Rig software comes with detailed manuals that, however, do not include explicit references to actual gear due to license issues. This is a bit ridiculous unless you like puzzles:
“The AC Box models the sound that powered the British Invasion of pop music” “Modeled after an amp produced by a highly respected synthesizer manufacturer” “This amp, based on an American legend”… Now if you want to emulate the sound of, say, My Bloody Valentine from the known actual rig (this is actually a tough example). Where do you get some equivalences? Well, in wikipedia surprisingly. I copy their info.

Seize the moo-ment If you feel like you’ve herd all these cow puns before, you probably have deja-moo
Most "tube" equipment like this runs the tube at a fairly low voltage, rather than the high voltages inside actual tube amps. This often sounds fine, but not quite the same as an actual amp - sometimes digital does it a bit better.
That said, I built myself a high voltage tube preamp specifically for use as a DI, and it sounds pretty excellent compared to a solid state DI...
Guitarhacker. once again i agree with you on another topic. this one re useing hardware amps. over several years now ive been following dsp vst amp sim plug in development via demos on you tube and other sites that demo various amp sim products...and yes i hear improvements over the years , but its as if still the "magic guitar tone" nuggets in classic rock often that we all love are just nearly there but not quite. if you know what i mean.
also even with the amp sims i already have i find i spend too much time trolling through menus to find those golden nuggets. in my song intergalactic spaceship in the user showcase i was very lucky however. my search and persistence for a heavy power chord paid off. i had a certain power chord sound picture in my mind. i tried darn everything, my own amps, amp sims , pedals...you name it , i tried it....and finally lucked out with a power chord i got and edited/manipulated out of a bb real trak. took me ages to find what i wanted.
want to know what mekes me laugh , as a person born in the uk ??...is when marketing people slap "british" on something...lmao. as though its some magic bullet. i have a certain device here with some "british" settings on, that , to be honest, sound awfull. so label me a sceptic when i see the word british used. maybe i'm just asking too much of plug ins. i hate that "fizz" type of setting. never liked the "muffy" type sound.
Billy. funny you should mention the roland jazz chorus. i was in a big studio once, and some of the best geetar sounds ive ever heard coming off 2 inch mtr tape were done useing a jazz chorus and just a few pedals by a pro session player with a huge playing talent who knew when a song needed simple licks but also when a song needed full bore "ba**s to the wall." a very tasty player who never did the lets see how many notes we can cram into a second thing.
best om ps simon. i believe you. i would like to see lots more tasty classic rock sounds in biab. i feel my whole life has been spent trying to find two things...lol...the perfect woman and perfect guitar sounds. i was lucky to find the first , very lucky... but the second often eludes me.

I find the amp tones coming out of a computer speaker are often lacking, where the amp tones coming from a modelling amp sound more realistic - like the Kemper amps or the Boss Katana. I think it's partly the latency in the computer, partly the interaction between the amp and speaker, and mostly the interaction between the speaker and the air. To me, putting a mic in front of any amp nearly always sounds better than an amp plugin.

Yes, there's A LOT of discussion/argument about the "starved plate" range of gear...quite a few starved plate devices only bring the valve into the signal path when "dirt" is dialed in. It's not the "dirt" of drive pedals or overdrive either...just noise. Suss out what role the valve plays, whether it's starved plate (if it's powered by USB of a 12v or less transformer/wall wart then it's probably also set up with an LED to pretend the valve is generating light & heat - I know because I've been sucked in by this sales pitch before - a Behri M100 Mic Pre and a Presonus Blue Tube Pre), and, of course AUDITION it.
That's from a bloke sponsored so not fab. Mind you he suggests not using the valve for anything above mild overdrive and to use external pres to get bigger/heavier sounds. From the other reviews I looked at the BEST thing about the SONO is the reamp out...and you probably won't need it. The claim is that the valve is High Voltage but I doubt it...a proper valve running at proper biased levels would be too hot for that enclosure. I'd LOVE a reamp feature or a reamp box.
My go to guitar tone machines are a Joyo ACtone and a Marshall Superbass modded to Superlead specs.

When I was a much younger fellow and gigging for a living, I was a HUGE fan of Carvin. I had one of the 50w combos with a single 12" and 2 channels plus it had a unique feature of a third input that fed both channels. I loved that amp but it was constantly blowing the IC chip on one of the channels.... I think it was the clean one. It also was a bit of a speaker blower. The speaker was rated for the amp, but I recall having it sent back and reconed by Carvin several times. And no, I never ran my amps wide open. ( well almost never.... not in a show anyway) I asked and Carvin sent me half a dozen of those chips.... Still have a few in my guitar case but the amp is long gone sadly.
I then figured that I would buy the 100w single 12 with the EV upgrade.... O.M.G!!! That thing was LOUD. Yeah, it cranked and sounded good but it was too loud for my purposes. It had a switch on the back to switch it to 50% power but.... it sounded too mushy when I ran it like that. I sold it and bought my Mesa Boogie Studio 22w. Low power but I could crank it up and get the tone I wanted and since it had a line out....I had tried going with bigger wattage amps and that wasn't giving me satisfaction so I decided to go small with the amp. I fed that to a CARVIN DCA-800 power amp and fed 2 Lab Series 4x12 cabs. 800 hair parting watts if I needed it.... but the DCA has input attenuators and I would run the DCA at about 40%. That gave me plenty of stage volume for the venues we played. I used the Mesa to power a 15" JBL in a Fender cabinet placed like a floor monitor pointed up where I could get the guitar in my face at my mic. That Mesa DCA rig was my overall favorite in all the bands and all the amps I used. I still have the Mesa and I still have the DCA but the cabs are long gone as well. When I left the last band.... it was a 2.5 yr run with a house band.... I sold most of my gear and PA equipment to another band. Kept what I wanted and started building my studio setup at that time.

i forgot to add.. how do amplitube users contact ik if they have a problem ? email ? cheers om
Their support is very responsive. I had an issue with SampleTank 4 and even though we are half a world away from them the email process of troubleshooting and fixing my problem worked quite well. They would not rest until I was completely satisfied.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

GH - I think you're talking about the X100 or X100B - that's one of the two Carvins I have - see the fuzzy beast in all it's glory below. I paid $50 for it in non-working condition, cleaned the controls, replaced the tubes, and repaired a damaged section of the circuit board (the part that provides bias to one of the power tubes) and it's all working nicely again. I agree about the 50% switch (mine can actually do 100%, 50%, and 25%) - it doesn't sound that great. The better option for me was to remove the outer pair of power tubes to run it at 50 watts (change output impedance to 8ohm instead of 16ohm to match) and use an attenuator when necessary (the silver box on top of the amp, which was DIY and can handle ~100 watts).
Muso - the Carvin I mentioned before is the other two pics - the MTS3200. All tube beast (save for a couple clipping diodes in the drive channel) with an excellent clean channel and tube-driven reverb! It's quite heavy and has only one handle, so I re-housed the amp into a head to make it easier to carry.
Now don't make me decide which amp I like better, that's too hard! Besides, the answer is always my Rivera Knucklehead...

simon...wowser pics. love them. correct me if i'm wrong but i think i read somewhere once that carvins were used on some pretty classic songs.
Guitarhacker... mesa boogie tres yummy... fyi , ive been so close to getting one so many many times...but each time i saved up family needs came first/other priorities. ive often wondered , what is it about boogies that are designed differently from other amps ?. i'd love to know classic rok songs they were used on.
All. ok heres a reason why i'm looking at axe or other products that give me non fizzy big variety of classic guitar rok tones. for some time ive been working on a new original punk song. as i'm a brit/cockney born i know the genre. and like to have fun with it on occasion. this one is fast "ba**s to the wall" with my brit punk vocs.
i'm pretty happy with everything cept my rhythm gtrs left and right of the stereo image which are meant to pound away headbanger style. its the left/right gtrs that i cant get to sound what i hear in my head. ive tried live amps, sims, pedals...all sorts. etc etc.
so at this stage i would say i screwed up engineering wise, and so i'm treating it as a rough demo. i'm useing biab drums and bass and some bb punk rt's way back in the mix together with my gtr traks for giggles.
what i'm gonna do is have one more go laying down my gtr traks L/R , and in a couple of weeks post the darn demo thats driving me nuts in the user showcase for any ideas on what i might use to get those L/R rhythm gtrs to sound the way i want pounding away. and people can tear the song apart if they wish. as you can see the song bugs the hey out of me regarding getting the right sound picture i hear in my head ...lol. so far ive failed. thats life.

Back in the old days I was gigging with Carvin equipment. I had a Carvin double neck, forgot the model number, and a huge Carvin amp, the FR1200:

Definitely - Steve Vai used a Carvin Legacy for a long time. I know the X100B like I have was quite popular as a "Marshall killer", which I agree that it's at least as good as any Marshall I've played (and I've played a lot) but I don't know specifically who used them.

Santana uses a Mesa Mark 1 - Santana himself was the person who coined the "Boogie" name - look on Wikipedia for the story. The Mesa Mark II (particularly the Mark IIC and IIC+) were very popular with the 80's metal crowd - Dream Theater, Metallica, many others. There are definitely some hit and miss Mesa's out there - I had a Mesa 5-25 and a Mesa Transatlantic for a bit and was a bit underwhelmed, but they were definitely the wrong style of amp for me - a Mark series or Rectifier would've been more appropriate.
Nice! I'm not the best person at remembering who uses what gear - at least outside of the musical genres I tend to gravitate to (metal), and even then I don't remember my own gear half the time!
2. what pg programs and other music production programs are you using axe with ?? 3. what latency are you getting with the axe ? lower than 4ms ? note many daw software will show you the latency eg reaper top right side. 4. what round trip latency do you get ?

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
