Craig's Vox Tools

So, I was immediately psyched when I saw Craig had created a Vox Tools FX Chain for Sonar Platinum.
 
This is the first time I've had a need for the plossive correction in the tool... check this out...

Kinda cool, right?
 
Here it is in context...

I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    haha, that refrain is a PPPerfect example of watch-out-for-plosives. Yep, Vox Tools to the rescue. Alternatively, you could have jiggled the lyrics: "Was the son of a MIN-I-ster guy...."

    It's super-gratifying when someone finds something I've done useful. Thanks for the kind words.

    Tune sounds good and I agree, Craig can be cool at times.  :)

    I use Pro Tools from time to time when working on other peoples' projects. I have nothing against it, but I find SONAR to be a very relaxing, non-stressful environment. That's why it's frustrating when some people post about a horrible problem they're having, because I know it doesn't have to be that way.

    <shameless self-promotion>
     
    I'm using one instance of VoxTools on the vocal bus and all of the guitars are exclusively using Craig's new amp sims (four total) on this tune:  http://forum.cakewalk.com/New-song-Every-Now-and-Then-m3192549.aspx
     
     
    Thanks, Craig!

    You're welcome! But I find it interesting that I can't identify which amp sims you're using. You'd think I could pick them out...I suspect the right channel solo is the Hard Rock one, and the one on the left High Gain...I think that just goes to show that the guitar, the player, and the "touch" have more to do with the sound than the sim itself. Which is how it should be

    Very close...   Right solo is Hard Rock and left solo is Ultra Gain Scoop.  
    Both the right and left rhythm parts are the Classic amp with right side bridge/neck pickup and left side neck, and the right side also has the Tape Sim module.
     
    Bottom line is that I would typically try these parts with TH2 Producer, GR5 or Revalver 4 (free version), and if none of them felt right would have sifted through the various other freebies I have on hand.   But besides having the type of tones I was looking for, what really sold me on using these instead was the sheer simplicity.
