Sixto Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 ez metal tones! i'm usually pretty skeptical about all-in-one mixing plugins, especially when it comes to guitar and bass sounds, but the stuff i'm hearing in these demos sounds reeeeeeally good. and at $49, i think it's a pretty great deal for getting great metal guitar tones quickly.

SnappleMan Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hahaha that Devin Townsend demo is hilarious. This does sound pretty good, for $50 it might be worth it. But it just looks like a bunch of presets, if you can't tweak and create your own then it's a no go for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'd pay $50 to try this. Anything to cover up my bad guitar playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixto Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 well, as it turns out this isn't a standalone product, but an expansion for ezmix 2, which is $179 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 boo - at that price i'd probably just upgrade my GR2 to whatever version is out now. None of the lead tones really blew me away, but I really liked some of the rhythm ones, which would have made $50 worthwhile. I hope it's a success, as any competition in the amp sim field generally ends up with better tones for all, but I will personally pass.

timaeus222 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 You already have a kickass guitar tone, JP. Why do you need that? xD @OA: Wat? GR5 is out now. o.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 @OA: Wat? GR5 is out now. o.o cool, I guess when i decide to buy an upgrade it'll be a big jump in quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixto Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 boo - at that price i'd probably just upgrade my GR2 to whatever version is out now. wow you're using gr2? gr5 is a huuuuge leap from gr2. you definitely need to upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 $200 is definitely doable, but they really suck at telling me what is improved over version 2. Any hints on what I can expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well, taking a rather quick look, seems like a whole bunch of new presets (130+) and effects, available sidechaining, and improved cabs and amp sims. Of course, an upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit. Not sure, but there might also be a quality upgrade. I can't find anything on GR2's sample quality, but GR3 and past have 192kHz/24-bit rendering, so it's at least up to expectations. I personally have GR4, and it's great as-is. I don't plan on getting GR5 unless I get the time to install Windows 7 which I already have and Sony Vegas 11, which I just got recently (SV9 fails on Windows 7. Dx). Then again, it's not actually $200 if you already bought GR2. It's either $80 or $100 to update, depending on your situation, but definitely not $200.

Sixto Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 lots more amp models, really cool cabinet mixing room, reflektor reverb (use your own speaker impulses!) lots of cool new stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuIzA Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 hmmm.. when I heard of this, I thought it was something to use on pre-recorded guitars, as in amp mic'ed guitars. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
