@RunawayThumbtack Thanks Steve! When I first discovered NAM I just couldn’t believe it, sat in front of my PC listening to my guitar and capture after capture just sounded unbelievable. It actually replaced QC and ToneX for me. Actually, I have captured my tube amps and I am using them in NAM, because the sound and the feel is just as good (in my opinion). Thanks again and you are a true mastermind! Keep on rockin’ 🤘🎩

Great interview! To release such a powerful tool in open-source for our industry of musicians and technologist to have a "field-day" is a solid testament to his engineering craft. I would have never imagined how far technology has come for guitarists. What a brilliant scientist this young man is; I'm sure Steve is very excited to see how NAM will continue to "freak-out" musicians and tone developers in the coming future! Thank you "ToneJunkieTV" and Steve for sharing your thoughts.

@MatthewDean I disagree. I think people feel like they have to work hard in order to feed themselves and their family not that there is a desire to. In the society we live today, yes we should want to earn money. An evolved society will eventually irradicate hunger and homelessness as we are currently moving towards. We are barely a stage 1 civilization. Once we've developed technology to do work that humans don't want to do like most minimum wage jobs, building houses, and farming. Society will eradicate the need for money. Why do you need money if you have housing, food and Healthcare? Eventually people will be participating in society in a way that is meaningful to them, whether that is art, science etc. That is under the assumption the earth is still habitable before we get to that point.

NAM is going to take over the whole ampsim recording scene, it's at the right place and right time. The reason why there are millions of amp sims and they contnuously come out with new ones, is because people are unsatisfied with them, this is where NAM is different, it actually feels, reacts and sounds pretty damn close to a real amp that we already love, so there's no 'adjusting' to it required. Ampsims try to be emulate, NAM *replicates it to a very high degree. Thanks to Steve for making it free and open source, that's also why this is going to be a game changer, thousands of people will contribute to make it a beautiful experience.

I have to agree, NAM feels and sounds like the amps it’s capturing better than any other plugin or modeler I’ve used, including the heavy hitters everyone knows. It’s absolutely incredible sounding and the fact that it’s free is nuts. I’m getting the best recorded guitar tone with NAM that I’ve ever had.

@@ibanezman1025 There's a lot to be said for simplicity, isn't there? I used to spend too much time playing with eq settings but with nam, you just load a profile and it sounds like a real amp, at the settings it was captured with. I just got a Dimehead player for live use and they've put Fender and Marshall parametric EQ settings on it.. It's literally like having a real amp. I captured mine at different volumes, with everything at 5 o'clock and the eq sounds the same as if I use the knobs on the amp!

At first I couldn't quite figure the darn thing out, but once I did, I really grew to love NAM. I recorded most of the guitars on my last EP Video album with it. And yes, Steve, the knobs make it much more like a "guitar device". I think the POD and Helix editor "sliders" really are counter-intuitive. Your device really sped up my recording process. I will probably never profile anything ( I do not own any decent amps), but I'll keep using NAM. Thank you. Seriously.

ToneX (IK Multimedia in general) rely on visuals. Same about STL Tones. They are all just rebranded Ignite AmpSim (when it came out also for free), post BIAS Amp\FX hype. There was also LePou and VadimT who basically created the algorithms late 2000. Then it was just rebranding and photorealistic UI. NAM is a modeler. Kemper was just a hardware with stacked IRs also a modeler. NAM is not an AmpSim, so you have to capture Gain steps and such real amp tweaks and then reiterate the capturing process and save as a new profile. And no body complaints, because it works… and it is free.

Not the interview I expected. The content was not to the point of why NAM is successful, considering the accuracy of the trainer to that of commercial products that are commanding $$$ from consumers that are hungry for tones that at least meet those of real amps. I really believe your interview missed an opportunity to define what is at stake and the potential benefits to the community of modern musicians.
