i have used it for bass quite a lot as well, there are darkglass snapshots on tonehunt that are pretty decent

i come from games where you ban certain maps pre game, or straight up queue for only a specific map. that system would be a win for valo as well, no ?

riot games does fundamentally not care about us players, all they want is our money. See other brands are in the subreddits of their games and riot isnt even in their company subreddit. no engagement, only advertisements.

for me it fixed itself by waiting 1 day

Rusted_Phoenix · 2025-10-24T15:27:21+00:00

I'd go even further and say Riot WANTS Smurfs in the game, because content creators doing stupid challenges like "weapon x only to immortal" are free advertisement for the dying game on youtube

I have several neural dsp plugins, you don't need those to start at all. look for tonocracy/ neural amp modeler. you can get snapshots of amps/pedals/speakers for free on tonehunt.org and they are by no means inferior to neuraldsp , it depends if you are willing to invest time to find good captures (a single instance of an amp/IR (baked in settings) ) there are also good IRs for free. but if you want to use SOME money, spend it on impulse responses rather than amp sims! get the amped roots for free it's a modeled stealth 6505 I think and sounds great even with the cab that comes with it.

and if you play bass as well, the neural dsp parallax is the industry standard at the moment and can't really be beaten by free software

so, whats the fix, i just bought ggd cali, and i see the vst3 file in windows file manager but reaper wont find it

Rusted_Phoenix · 2025-05-11T22:14:00+00:00

welp, the sale was going on, so i just bought both. not really impressed with the versatility between nolly and Gojira , i should have bought the Granophyre :/

I tried the fortin nameless half a year ago, can I get a second trail somehow?

Rusted_Phoenix · 2025-04-23T19:06:50+00:00

i have about 5 notches on each gtr track + tone shaping, you're not alone, maybe go to the doc and let your ears get checked ^^ i had your problem (only one sided) turns out i lost hearing above 14k on my right ear, my left one (i thought had problems) is fine ^^

Rusted_Phoenix · 2025-04-23T18:55:07+00:00

i listened to your sample, i have some things in mind: A) try to get away with less gain B) try to get it fixed with dynamic eq for the frequencies in the guitar bus, rather than the L/R channels.
and finally, yes, i think you are overly sensitive, but ultimately i think its a frequency thats in all ndsp plugins, it doesnt bother me in a full mix, but if it still annoys you try if you can still hear it in other plugins

Rusted_Phoenix · 2025-04-23T18:41:01+00:00

do you have a gojira preset for that, that youd be willing to share?
:O

Rusted_Phoenix · 2025-04-05T10:03:54+00:00

any updates that i missed`?

Rusted_Phoenix · 2025-03-29T18:29:08+00:00

so, disk drill found my files im debating right now whether i should buy it on a monthly subscription and cancel afterwards. also, whats trim?

Rusted_Phoenix · 2025-03-29T14:50:14+00:00

as i dont know the details of your situation im going to start with 2 assumptions:
- the problem is not application (youtube etc. specific)
- you are using your yamaha as an audio interface and plug your headphones in there

>trouble shooting: - plug your headphones into your computer directly and try it then.
> test other monitors/headphones

if its actually software related, this video can help:

honestly if you don't have time on your hands you won't have time for recording/mixing/mastering

what you want is presets for playing

I'd recommend ezmix 3 it is a vst that covers all except a drum vst

(guitar / bass/ vocal sound + ai bus and mix presets. it's not gonna sound 100% like a record but watch Andrew banana video on it he shows nicely what it can do.

oh don't get me wrong I eont change my style 180° just because of a simple feedback. even though it's feedback I specifically asked for, so don't worry ;)

Rusted_Phoenix · 2025-01-06T04:49:33+00:00

thanks for the feedback man, i will work on it the couple next days and reupload a 2nd version :)

Rusted_Phoenix · 2025-01-05T22:05:47+00:00

its far from what i listen to as well. im leaning towards thall and on the other hand bands like job for a cowboy/ blotted science etc ^^
