2024...DISCUSSION FREE AMP SIM PLUGINS.
(any dsp programming gurus in the house ?)
once a year i go thru on you tube free available amp sim plugins that sound great for classic rock and dont take over ones pc viz high resource useage.
the type of rock gtr sound i like is in my sig on the song The Stallion
.
https://soundcloud.com/alfsongs/stallioncalfsongsnov2023v-1rbmp3how the song came about was a fluke...
one day i was trolling thru gtr rt's and came across a gtr rt done by pg artist Mike Durham.
and got very very excited as i realised i could build a rock song useing this great guitar rt.
its my fav one...not 'pttthy' and not extreme. just blinkin right...he nailed it imho.
this guy is an amazeing talent imho....credit where its due.
i know pro when i hear it haveing sat in watching session musos in studios in the past....
who wanted zilch from me and were great sources of tips...wonderfull kind people...
hearts of gold. mike is obviously a session pro.
now to current gtr sim plugins...i just cant find one like the brill mike.
STILL...what im finding about gtr amp sims...and it seems to be the same from sim to sim is now they do clean sounds nicely and metal/thrash also...ie over the top distortion..
but they dont seem to do that sweet sound picture that i admire and love like the mike durham rt.
as i have a IT background i wonder if its a challenge getting that rock sound useing dsp code programming gechniques and its easier in dsp code re clean and thrash sounds...?
i know a little about dsp...but are there any dsp programming gurus out there that can explain why it seems for rock..the sims do extreme distortion and clean well...but not mikes wonderfull tone i used in the stallion song.
frustrates the heck outta me.....lol...any dsp expert care to comment ??
i would love to know.
reason im asking is i would like to add any good sims to my thread in tips forum re nice plugins that work in rb....and after testing in rb....to help new users...
ie this thread...where ive posted lots of free plugins ive found that work in rb includeing some pleasant surprises...and no security schemes that place an added burden on the user.
https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=813558#Post813558feel free to discuss dsp...even deep coding aspects....gimme any ideas//feedback.
keep rocking around the galaxy.
ps...as an aside no listener so far got the stallion lyric ...>PINK TIE<...and its subtle meaning.
pps...just noticed mario asked a q...preferably i want to do it all in the gtr amp sim plug in.
yep mario ive also looked at gtr pedals....thanks.
as an aside my wife and i love your comedy lines..sometimes we go bonkers laughing...lol.
brilliant....just like your soundscapes.
