Hello Al Kent,

I have it and use it to tweak away like a virtual amplifier that it is but haven't mastered it.

My virtual tubes went out and had to replace them....only kiddin.... [img]biggrinangel.gif[/img]

You had a question on it?

Hey Al,

Is Amplitude freeware? Is it for mastering, a Limiter or Compressor or vintage warmer? I'm always interested in trying out new Mastering plugins, especially freeware ones cos i'm skint most of the time

hi davv, yes freeware or demo. It acts like a guitar amp.

It's not free, but you can download a demo. Unfortunately it hisses every few seconds, so can't be used properly, but it seems like a great amp simulator.

Jorge - check your PMs..

Here is a review by an anonymous amp user:

Reviewer Background:

Trying for many years to obtain a good direct recording sound, with very little success (using a ADA Microcab, Behringer V-AMP 2). I am looking for a good Dual Rectifier kind of sound, since clean sounds are rather easy to create. I'm using a P4 3GHz with a M-Audio Delta 44 and Nuendo 2.

Ease of Use: 6
I really hate the fact that we have to hold down the menu button to navigate in them. Otherwise, nothing really complicated.

Sounds/Sound Quality: 10
The software by itself sounds really bad. Distorded sounds are pretty useless. The cleans are not too bad. Why the high score then? I setup Amplitube in "tube clean" mode, ie no gain. Then, I plug my guitar into my old Boss Metal Zone, then to my soundcard. Play a little bit with an EQ, add some reverb (with a good plugin). The result was amazing! The nicest cabinet simulator that I've heard! Better that my V-AMP 2 (which is not bad BTW). I finally have a realistic sound, without being too harsh and gritty. I was very impressed for a software that seems to be a total waste at first. It is part of my recording setup now, and it puts my V-AMP to rest. Also, the various cabinet models sound more realistic than the ones on the V-AMP 2, less exagerated, more usable.


I don't care about the Amplitube effects (chorus, reverb, etc) since I have plugins that are much better for that purpose.

Overall Rating: 7
Give it a try, put your favorite distorion box before Amplitube!

Hi Al and Jorge,

I downloaded the demo and tried to install it but it wouldnt install right on my computer...I'm gonna try it again though when I'm back on 'my' comp.

BTW, I've been using a freeware Master/Limiter for a while and it works well with some tracks, you can find them here...

Bye for now,
