Just been looking for a decent Free VST Guitar FX for Win Mac.
Rather than a massive big installer that you need an account and login for, was looking for a single VST2/3 .dll .vst3 file that is easy to include with Biab.
Here is one I found so far, NeuralAmpModelerPlugin (vst3 only so Biab will need that VST3 mod)
https://www.neuralampmodeler.com
https://github.com/sdatkinson/NeuralAmpModelerPlugin
https://tonehunt.org/all

Going into the future, Biab has FX versions and Direct Input versions of RealTracks, and if they get around to 24bit 48Khz this is going to be a lot of hard drive space.
Being able to have just Direct Input versions allows for having just the actual instrument name "Fender Telecaster" and all the different patterns and styles, rhythm/soloist recorded at the same tone allowing easy seamless change of the RealTrack variations throughout the song rather than just the A or B you are given.
There are many amps at tonehunt.org users can download but it allows you to create your own, PG can model their amps this way.

I highly recommend that you take a look at Amplifikation 360 and all of the Efektor modules available for it. Available in both VST and VST3 formats. I've been using their VSTs for years.

Sorry I should of mentioned "free", so I edited it, so all Biab users can use it without having to buy or download large installers that require a log in.

Yes, free Neural Amp Modelers (as a start) are way more accurate than circuit emulators especially when it comes to feel.
I'm surprised that more DAW makers have not offered this approach as a given.

Since PGM offered a collaboration with IK Multimedia Amplitube awhile back, I'm not sure why they also have not embraced their free machine learning Tonex.
In the paid version of Amplitube, Tonex can be one of the amp models.


Studio One (latest version), Win 11 23H2 , i9 -10940X 3.3 GHz, 32GB Mem, a 4K 40" monitor, PreSonus Studio Live III Console as interface/controller. secondarily test on Reaper, Cakewalk, and S1 on Surface Pro 3 Win 10 (latest versions).

Maybe there's something I'm missing. My full version of AT5 connects to Tone.NET, their customer sharing platform, but they want 200 €, plus 20% VAT for 240 € total for ToneX. Are you saying there's a free version (not just a trial version) of ToneX available?

Thanks for the heads-up. It was near the bottom of the product list in the IKM Product Manager. I generally don't scroll past the products I have licenses for, so never saw ToneX CS. Downloading and installing now. cool

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

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!

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

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."
