New plugins an gear usualy won't be on sale on BF. Too short time span for something new. Next year? Probably. Is it any specific you're after?

Obviously he doesn't mean only new plugins, just stuff he missed. That said, there are quite a few new plugs that dropped in time for the BF crazyness.

Hallan , what might you be interested in? Drum samples/one shots, mastering stuff (soundtheory Gullfoss is new, and it a must own imo). I have a trick to get kontakt 6 full for $125, just tell me what kind of music you do, what kind of plugs you like, and I will point you to a place. Maybe not the right place, but a place.

Edit for clarity because that sounded really shady. I am happy to tell you where the deals I know of are happening, I will not fileshare or facilitate that kind of shit, full stop.

Sure. Or is there a cut & Paste way through the librarian for example?

I don't think there's a cut and paste anything, I don't think Neural has decided to share their IP with Kemper users...for free. I guess it can be profiled. I dunno. I haven't made a profile yet, and this won't be my first. I have Plini and love it.

Neural stuff is really good, priced pretty well, and their Black Friday sale is soon, should be solid discounts.

I'd buy it dude. I love my KPA, but amp sims have come a long way in the last year or so. Putney, Nolly, Benson, etc.

And I know reamping with the Kemper is easy. It's one of the things that attracted me to it. But you haven't had an easy re-amp until you do it ITB. No cables, no settings, nothing. Just get a good DI and start clicking away.

Someday I'll mix from my lazy boy...some day.

Wow Nicky, you have been on the MOTU wagon (with good reason) for a while, but damn. That looks like a steal. I need to look at the specs closer, but I'm thinking I would have a hard time steering anyone toward anything else even at twice the $.

Looks like I found my new go-to "what interface should I get" answer.

...no adat? Too bad, that would be a slam dunk for a futureproof expandable interface. I wish they had charged a few more $ and included it. It's going for $169 on some places. Geez. Still destroys anything near it's price point.

I come here to check for updates from g string...

Every few days, I pop open my notifications, and check. "55 new posts? Surely there must be some actual news."

But alas.

Quote from Deej09

There is a great feature of ToastMe as you can lock the “cab” only and then you try other profiles. Hopefully this or a different approach that allows easy changes of IR is going to be in the editor Locrain is right that it’s large part of the tone.

Interesting...is this different than locking the cab block on the KPA? Like it keeps the same ir, but allows the other settings in the cab block to change?

Quote from cheekyboy999

Right. Ok.

Makes for sense now.

Scrolling through them. Il be honest ive paid least attention to the cabs.

Editor may change that.

Ive got 2 or 3 goto cabs ive use 99% of the time.

Mainly because of the scrolling. I tend to go with what the stock profile cab was, and tweak the amp settings slightly.

If its not in the ball park of what i want i just move on.

Im fairly ignorant with regards to cabs.

I had a profile with T75 ? Speaker cab that was great but i didnt save it and cant remember what it was now.

Maybe i should spend some time with the cab when the editor comes out ???

The cab/speakers is ~75%+ of your tone. Definitely pay attention to profiles you really like, and try that cab out on other profiles. Tone Nirvana awaits...

Use Fab Filter PRO Q 3

The only game in town.

Their stuff is just the tits. All of it.

Quote from flyingheelhook

Eh, if you mean you used to tweak and then save a new copy with a new name, that makes sense. If you mean you actually edited, (including renaming) and saved back to the original file, you are either delusional or need to share what you are smoking.

Preferably the latter, it's been a long week...

It's an awesome pack for sure! Tim cautioned about the mids, as they could be somewhat harsh, but I have found them just perfect in a mix, especially with lower turnings. I've barely scratched the surface, but I love it so far.

My contribution clip from the pack so far:

There should be a browse by favorites, but as someone who didn't rely on that very much, the new way of selecting effects is far better than the previous version, I love it.

Quote from Ibot39

The 100 page thing again...this is pure superstition!!!

...but you never know for sure, so...

Edit: Fuck, I am writing about superstition and my "Posts" counter hits 777 ... so much for that!

And one "dB Cooper" likes your post. Coincidence? I think not...

I think this goes all the way to the top.

Quote from MementoMori

Hopefully not nearly as disappointing by its release. ?

I think the new album sounds amazing, it's pushing the envelope of modern rock production...I just wish they had put some songs on it.

Quote from leandroneves

that's a good question pal

OS7 feels a little slower than previous OS on scrolling .. etc .. but asides .. it became more practical.

I kind of commented on that earlier too, but I think it's the way some guys express themselves with frustration ..

unfortunately with these useless and boring jokes, it leads to nothing, a kind of childish behavior .. that some like .. others not .. that's it.

Im sure you're right, and I've probably done the same thing at times. On the whole though, great thread, maximum entertainment value considering it's subject matter.

Quote from spikey

Not my dictionary, its been around a while now. Oh and don't tell me what to do, thanks....

Might have been gibberish but at least it wasn't rude. Stick that in yer gibberish....

Wait, was that too arbitrary for ya?

I'm not sure that this is very entertaining for many here, and this is well past the line of cheeky back-and-forth. It hasn't gotten ugly, it's just cringy...

1st off, if you're claiming that someone is being rude, it indicates you take the conversation seriously and that you have made good faith arguments.

I hope that this is not true, because if it was, it would mean that you genuinely thought that the etymological "did you know" section would be, in any way, acceptable to present as the definition of the word. And that wouldn't be a good indication. Yet, you did exactly that.

So, the more charitable interpretation of this, the nonsensical argument, ludicrous font, "don't tell me what to do mom", etc, is that we are just joking back and forth a bit. And that's all well and good, it's just terribly unfunny, and maybe I have Editor Update Limbonic PTSD and am just being a complete ass. But it does upset me when people are disingenuous in their arguments or their humor.

Yours, forever, in endless ambiguity.

Quote from CarloLf

Hi, this was a good idea looking for a Bonamassa-like sound. I tweaked the profile to get a sound that I had in mind for my Strat, and I finally was heavily pleased.

In fact, this was not my "start" with profiles I triggered to performance rig. All together, I have to resume my experiences to this: most profiles I tried (I even bought a profile from Bert Meulendijk) came with much to much gain. Lowering gain to the point where they break into crunch often makes the sound much niceer and more distinguable, chords played then sound with a good resolution. Too much gain is destroying the character of a profiled amp, chords sound dirty and very artificial. That's how I do see it.

This is all a matter of taste, plain and simple. The high-gain tones in the profiles I play are as good, if not better, than my Triamp/SLO/Dual Recto/etc did. If you don't like high-gain tones that's one thing...but the Kemper does them very very well.

If you're saying that the profiles you have are too gainy for your tastes...try lower gain profiles? I have more profiles than I could ever use from clean to diiiirty, and every possible permutation in between. Sometimes I will adjust the gain knob because I like a certain profile, but best results are usually from finding a profile that is close to what you're looking for.

There are great rigs on Rig Exchange, but the signal to noise ratio is pretty bad. I think you need to try more 3rd party packs. There is a ton of stuff in the mid-gain lead tone area you seem to be shooting for.

If you're disappointed in the KPA because of Rig Exchange, I think you're missing 99% of what the KPA has to offer. Either find a profiler that you like, or make your own. RE is a nice side benefit, but only the insane man gets all his profiles there.

Quote from Wheresthedug

I wonder if there is something in the deeper coding of the profile that shows whether it was created by merging? Something which isn’t visible as metadata but which Kemper’s analytics can identify. If this was the case than a bulk conversion could be run as part of a FW update at some point. Maybe I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one

I obviously have no idea of the details involved, but unless I'm missing something that does seem pretty plausible...really good idea!

It seems like this is not possible for pre-existing profiles, as many times as it's been brought up, it sure would be nice for this to be required metadata for making profiles going forward.

Grabbed the XTC and Cameron packs, thanks Ivan!

I turn my Mesa 2x12 on it's end. Works for me.

Quote from Monkey_Man

I don't know how people manage to write and record about someone they love in a situation like the one you're in, brother. I can't imagine having the strength. What a champion you are.

I couldn't agree more Nicky. I don't understand the person that can write these lyrics at this time without losing it every 30 seconds. Strength is the perfect word for it.

Southdakota I loved it man. The lyrics ring true, and there is something really beautiful about the tonal quality of it (the AIC and BS type vibe) that adds a completely different darker more real dimension to the song. It's a really powerful piece of work. I'm so sorry Nate. Please take care of yourself in the coming months.

Your mom must be an awesome lady.
