AcmeBarGig Whisper TUBE Released...Freeware

Have you guys considered releasing one "deluxe" amp sim project that combines all of the other ones you've released? (ala Guitar Rig, Amplitube, etc)

To be honest, I've stopped looking at your stuff (around release 3 or 4) since I really would prefer not wading through 20 different plugs that each have a single focus. Maybe it's a guitar player thing (which I'm not), similar to collecting pedals.

I hate to sound like an ingrate, because it really has been generous of you to release all of these for free... but I for one would be happy to pay for a good quality, versatile amp sim/FX plug, ideally in the sub-$200 range.

Why would this be taken as disruptive?

I think you've taken the post a bit harsh...no-ones asking anyone to download these and one is accusing you of disrespect, though I read it as maybe just a little unintentionally rude, then take it in context...many of us look forward to your releases and this is as good a place as any to announce them...granted when they cost some $ (albeit the very reasonable $10) then perhaps it could be mistaken as advertising..

I can only speak for myself but Id be sorely disappointed if you stop posting here, granted I can go to your website, but Id like your products to reach a wider audience because I think they are that good and I am very grateful...and no Im not Canadian, nor do I play metal for that fact

I don't think it's a problem at all that you post here. It's clear enough what the thread is about in the thread title (easy to ignore if someone wants).

The only thing that gets tiresome to me is people posting pure drivel and thinking they're funny.

so i told the minister that I think my wife is trying to poison me.....he spent three hours talking to her and came back and told me to eat the poison

As a general rule, I don't want to see every plug-in producer in the market constantly hawking his wares in the Cakewalk Forums.

But your AcmeBarGig product announcements are a DEFINITE exception. To me, being able to learn right here when a new one of your excellent, useful and FREE plug-ins becomes available is a big plus for this forum and one of the reasons I check it out frequently.

So don't go away. Keep announcing.

Yeah we are releasing exactly the plug you have mentioned...It too will be freeware...However, I release these so that we can get them fully tested in the public before we add them all to Gestalt..The "Deluxe" amp you speak of...

I actually stopped posting here too for a while, just trying to be respectful, I see its time to lay off again...Not a problem point taken....There will not be any further ABG posts here, We are not here to be dis-respectful or at least we try not to be...Sorry for any of the problems we have caused this community it was certainly not intentional..

The reason I came here was to ask if anyone had any trouble with the Canadian Metal Release in Sonar? and if so, what plugs? We want to support Sonar like we do Reaper and others, and we thought this is the perfect place to release the freeware, as it is the Cakewalk forum... But I see we are only being disruptive, and once again Sorry for that it really is not intentional.. We are just trying to support Sonar Users where possible...

MODS, Please feel free to remove all AcmeBarGig threads, and sorry we did not mean to be disruptive...

Are you responding to my post? Hard to tell, since all I requested was a "consolidated" version of your plugins (for which I said I would gladly pay for), and your response seems... well, I honestly can't figure it out, other than I offended you somehow.

My apologies, for what it's worth.

JonD, I was not offended in any way..Please don't think that... Its just that we have a new rule at ABG, ever since we had trouble at Harmony Central, I put this rule in place, so I can't very well not follow it myself..We post at over 40 Forums, all of which we're welcome at..But, if for some reason any of us feel that we are being disruptive, or causing issues at a forum, we are to move on right away...So, that is what I was prepared to do...

The reason is..
I have posted I think 3 times here lately and had very little response from anyone, and the threads just drop off..So, I'm thinking that we are not wanted...Then, the first post I saw was yours, which was very respectful and non offending, but stated to me what I was already thinking..So, the new forum posting rule was applied...All of our forum posters do the exact same thing....After all, a company can doom itself very fast by pissing people off in the forums, the VST corporate graveyard is full of them..

So, no offence taken, and was not you...Just a rule I set in place to protect ABG from potentially bad situations..We don't want to be the bad house guest so to speak...

There are forums that we will never post at again, HC for starters, If this rule was in place before, we would not have had a problem there. So, no big deal man..

Hey, appreciate you clearing that up.

As for your announcements, personally, I don't see it being a problem, especially here in the software forum. And as you can see from this thread, you've got plenty of fans!

So don't go away for lack of responses. It's been my observation that this forum doesn't get anywhere near as much traffic as, say, the Sonar forums. I wouldn't take that as a lack of interest. If the guys here are like me, they probably frequent two or more audio forums and possibly have more of a "presence" on the busier ones like KVR.

Anyway, keep on posting, and best of luck to you!

I just tried the Solo C in Sonar PE 8.3.1 Ken. I sent you an email.

Thanks Mike, I just sent you the new soloc from LePou..

Thanks RBH, LePou being the developer he is, I think has already fixed it..I really respect LePou's developments and his dedication to quality...If its not right, LePou will fix it..

KM

Cool, It will be interesting To hear the difference from all those songs recorded with the old Whisper amp from DIG 2.0..

Here Mike, rather than me going into it here...Here is a post from last night where I went into detail about it...
12AU7 Interrogation

I am however, deeply distressed by the statement about the tube... and it causes me to immediately consider whether I think your dev team knows the difference between a 12AX7 and 12AU7 designs (let alone good or bad examples of said design) and and how the curves respond in a circuit... or if I think you are just cranking a couple of parameter settings and using terms like 12AU7 for entertainment purposes.

Whats next, the 12DX7?

I'm gonna build the BX67EG42 Tube...Why? because I can, This is the digital world...Anything goes...End of the day its all about tone, not splitting hairs with whether I'm a tube designer...

Very Insulting...and disappointing comments...Thanks for that...Enjoy the amp...
KM

KC I'll see if I can give you the Catharsis Set..

Ken...your a star...there goes my afternoon..ta mate

Hey, I'm just telling you how I feel... and I see by your response over at KVR that you're not forth coming in discussing your insights about the mathematical modeling that you use to represent "tubes".

I'm of the opinion that real life tube devices are easy to acquire... not as easy as a free plugin maybe... but not so hard that "make believe" tubes should be accepted as a practical substitute with out question of how they are described.

Have you considered just describing your work product as a "good sounding" circuit?

As I mentioned above I think, that in general, you're doing a real good thing here at the forum.

best regards,
mike


edit to add: I should have written 12DW7... a mistake on my part... then maybe you would have gotten the joke :-)
