I have just got the Amplitube Fender plugin for my PC and have been knocked out by how good some of the amp models are. Having grown up with a complete obsession for a certain tone as produced by welsh guitar magician Micky Jones. I have always tried to emulate his sounds. He used a Gibson SG through a Fender Twin reverb and a binson echo unit. Well I just fired up the Amplitube Fender and within a couple of minutes managed to dial in a similar tone. :-)

I have also been trying out the Spectrasonics Trilogy Bass plugin. So I thought I would throw together a little dittie to show some of the sounds.

Now you all know that I am a complete tech-head but I am always looking to use the technology to get me real world sounds. So thats what I tried to do here. This short track isnt anything special but it'll give you an idea of how a few of these things sound.

That sounds stupidly real for a piece of software Zap :shock: The bass would fool anyone into thinking it was real so I might have a look around for the Trilogy by spectrasonics, it gets rave reviews and I can see why!!

I've got the choir sounds from Spectrasonics and they really do make top quality stuff.
There's some samples here: http://www.spectrasonics.net/libraries/symphonyvoices.php

5 CD's worth of everything from a boy's choir, Gregorian men's choir, oprah singers...you name it. If you scroll down, it got rave reviews from Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman, 2 of the best film scorers in the world.

Thanks Shep. :thumb:

The Trilogy stuff is stunningly good I am very impressed. For those like me who hate playing a real bass and just cant bring myself to go and buy one it's a godsend.
