I am definitely too square for how experimental this is, but I can imagine that if I was in the right state of mind, the section starting at 2:20 might transport me to another dimension - jeffhenderson

For anyone else who is trying to run this, to make this actually work on current versions of macOS you have to remove the 'quarantine' flag:

Code: Select all

For a limited time you can download the ToneVault DynIR collection for free and you don't need to buy anything to get it. You can download the (free) Wall of Sound -plugin and use these cabs with it. There's 12 cab sims one of which is a bass cab.

https://www.two-notes.com/en/

These aren't the regular Convolution / Impulse Response cabs so you need to use either the Wall of Sound -plugin, or if you have the Two Notes gear like Torpedo Cab m+. These are much more detailed and flexible than regular "static" impulses. You'll be able to select the microphone and move it around etc. Kinda like in Amplitube.

The Ampeg SVT-VR classic is great. I use it all the time on both real and midi bass.

Thanks for those Novation links! I remember when I was getting into plugins, that those were on my list... (never got them then, probably why they went discontinued all these years later, right?)

This used to be FREE when it came out if you filled out some questionnaire and then went for $49 later... but now it's FREE for everyone.

iZotope's Nectar 3 Elements is currently free: https://www.izotope.com/en/products/dow ... ments.html
Nectar is a voice processing plugin that features automatic EQ, dynamics processing, pitch correction and de-essing. The controls in this version are quite limited but hey, can't beat the price.

Four free plugins from Wavesfactory.

I've had the snare one for a while, but I just read a good review of the subkick in TapeOp
