The Best Plugin For Strat Tones I Have Ever Heard - Neural DSP Cory Wong

[@CoryWongMusic]

sounding great man!!! regarding The Postal Service....we actually ended up modeling a custom envelope filter i built in my H9, and tweaked a bit from there! The Wash is based off of the parts of a Valhalla Vintage Verb and a Strymon Big Sky...shimmer is a NeuralDSP original thing that we worked on!

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

Cory thanks so much for the response! I have the H9, is it possible to share settings?? And yeah man, this plugin is the BEST!!!

you probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can watch all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few days =)

Nice to hear a demo that includes as much rhythm as lead. I know it may puzzle many (except maybe Corey) but there are lots of us out here who make our dough playing rhythm--and it's almost friggin impossible to find a demo of a guitar, amp. pedal etc. in which somebody does anything else but play three open cords and then take us on a guided tour of every lick they know.

[@atlantaguitar9689]

Sounds good. I had assumed that it was just for crystal clean tones but it clearly does much more.

[@self4autism333]

lighter pick is mechanical form of compression. I try to relax my fingers in the right hand, this works too. plus I use a nail buffer on the pick tip, this really is the ultimate.

[@DTB228]

You always come up with the greatest stuff!!!! Thanks; again!!!!

[@chetansharmaproject7223]

I've been watching all your old and new videos from past few months and you have helped me so much in understanding a lot of things while recording and that too in a fun way. You're line an online buddy/teacher for me. Thanks a lot Lewin! :)

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

So glad you like the channel! I really appreciate the kind words!

[@jackjack1212]

Do you recommend this over the guitar rig 6 for a funk/ alternative/ mainly clean player?

[@artghoust4856]

Hi, how it plagin in les poul guitar? Sorry my bad english))

[@christopherhall7561]

Man, that does sound great. ! Sounds really really great.!

[@Lexington1]

This is definitely my next plugin purchase! Have you tried running your Rhodes through it? I'm curious hear what that would sound like.

[@MrTupeloFlash]

Thank you for this video.... I'm on the fence on the Cortex or Kemper ??? I play Country / Rockabilly & clean tones ONLY

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

What audio interface are you using? Thanks

[@poltad]

How does this compare to Amplitube 5?

[@drothberg3]

Light picks work great for acoustic guitar recording, too. They remove boominess and enhance high end, all without touching your EQ.

[@barneymiller5488]

Downloading it RIGHT now!

[@Jackdesj]

"Shimmer", setting on EHX Canyon pedal.

[@MONTE12ax7]

New to garageband. I came for the drums and bass sounds. Your channel is spot on! Thanks. Stupid question... this plugin would be great but how do you load into garageband and where do I access...? That said I will search your videos, you may have already explained this. Thanks again, we are out here learning!

[@SjaakShirly6559]

I am glad you pointed out you BOUGHT this plug-in. I did get the free download and your positive review convinced me too to buy it. Great video. Can you say something about the Fortin Nameless Suite? It looks like a Marshall?

[@ctatrains]

Just jumped on the flash sale 50% off!

[@jonathanurbano1329]

Were you able to try this with Garageband?

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

Yes and it works great!

[@canalsalvamendez]

Hi! Are you using Logic? Does it work in Garageband?

[@Liam.Hardy.Music.99]

Great video dude! My only compliant is that you didn't play through any of Rabea's presets obviously he makes everything sound amazing but it would have been great to see a different player check those out too!

[@lukather1]

What’s the CPU usage on these ? High ?

[@BluesBrethrenofPolishPeoplesR]

Amazing, nów that you can się the settings of things you were looking for maybe it would be cool video series to recreate them iconic ones in GB stock plugins, ;-)

[@shawnstuart6924]

Sounds great.

[@Guitarsdetectors]

It looks like you have logic loaded underneath the plugin, will this also work in GarageBand? Maybe you could do a tutorial on how to add third party plugins to GarageBand?

[@JayTheLane]

I have trialled this and it's amazingly good. I'd say the closest to an amp ever ever heard in a plugin.

[@TokyoSpeirs]

Unreal good.

[@bruhlollmao560]

if i have the money, i would buy this asap lol

[@drothberg3]

Wait a second! That daw on the screen doesn't look like Garageband!

[@jonathanurbano1329]

up

[@kianhendrick3794]

Try Amplitube !

[@pdbordelon]

Good review but would have liked more time on the clean tones than the tuner!

[@gregholohan2963]

Any tones on there for a tele ? Thanks for the review

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

For sure yes!! Every single coil guitar will benefit from this.

[@BottleneckMoses]

Sounds great with the strat, but as soon as I hear iLok mentioned it's a big no. Nice review - thanks.

[@iamjiroe]

Tuner looks like an Ableton tuner copycat 😬😬😬😬 sounds good tho but I mean I wonder how does it compare to Amplitube 4? Because my combo 1073 pre + Amplitube + pre Amplitube processing sounds killer already 🤷‍♂️

[@sixstringbluesify]

Is it really that good? :/

[@julioguerrero8849]

I was also skeptical, but yes. This plugin is excellent. As soon as my trial ended, I bought it and postponed the purchase of a small Supro '64 Super combo amp reissue because I achieved the tone and dynamics with this plugin that I was after. I pitched it against a loaned '64 Super combo, S-Gear and Aurora DSP's Rhino. It's not a contest, but Cory's Archetype won my preference for recording and convenience. It achieves that "speaks-back-to-you" feel when you play through it, and the tone is on another level. I'll get the 64 Super combo down the line, but just as a treat for myself and not a necessity.

[@thomascroft5076]

It would be interesting to hear this being used on a really crap guitar! Obviously, playability wouldn't be improved, but it would be a good demonstration of the plug-in's capabilities. Anyway, if (like me) you don't see it coming up in Garageband after installation, make sure you trash the existing Audio Units preferences then restart the program. Go here for guidance: www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/my-newly-installed-plug-in-isnt-showing-up-in-garageband/

[@thomascroft5076]

Update: okay, certainly not a 'crap guitar,' but my Epiphone SG is obviously at the limited budget end of the instrument spectrum - and it sounds astonishing using this plug in - generating tones I never thought possible. It really is a 'must have' item.

[@najinelson6742]

Sounds nice, is there one tone or sound only? 4 bad things: 1. I-Lok 2. High cpu usage 3. High price, you get S-Gear with tons of fx and some amps for this price 4. Background color. Was the plugin designed for girls? Demoed it now, great for Strat indeed, great response and playability, but cpu usage is not acceptable. And quite a lot of presets have too much low end

[@lukather1]

Hi what’s the cpu usage like ? What pc. Mac do you have spec ?

[@najinelson6742]

Cockos Reaper (daw), WIN 7, 64 bit. Much higher cpu usage than amplitube MAX4 or Softube amp, can not remember the exact values. I hate iLok, though I have some plugins. I like amplitube more, but this plugin here is nice for Strats. This plugin does not give me even 5% of what I get from Amplitube or Softube amp. I would think about buying it maybe for 25 USD... Just demo it and find out!

[@lukather1]

@@najinelson6742 just tried to download this for fucks sake what the hell is ilok should be called sales prevention software ! Most probably the single most annoying thing I’ve ever tried to work with - one sale lost because of it !

[@najinelson6742]

@@lukather1 I do not comprehend, why there is stll iLok in 2020. ILok stole me quite a lot of lifetime because of issues. Try brainworx Bassdude (Plugin Alliance) , it's great for Strats, too and on still on sale today!

[@iurigrang]

1 - Ilok wasn’t a problem for me, easy enough to install, still don’t comprehend how it works fully, but I understood enough to buy and use another of their plugins no problem. 2 - Have you tried setting oversampling to normal? This plugin was made for professional studio usage, and it runs just fine at 3-4 instances on my cheap laptop (haven’t tried more, so maybe it can run more than that), so I’d say CPU isn’t a concern for the intended usage. It does have a low CPU mode tho (normal oversampling) if your PC struggles tho. 3 - Yeah, the goal isn’t to give you all amp sounds you’ll ever need, it’s to do the ones it does insanely well. I don’t have experience with this plugin specifically, but I have used many other neural plugins (nolly, plini, abasi and omega granophyre), and oh boy do they deliver on that end. As I said, this is meant to be a professional studio tool, if you just wanna goof around, some of the more complete but lower quality solutions are for you. 4 - lmao imagine being that sensitve.

[@LilView]

Too fizzy. Am I the only one who hates amp sims?

[@PaoloC.]

I'm demoing this plugin and it is very hi-fi sounding, because it has a DI "amp" in it so you do need to have a full range frequency response, that with very clean sounds is not annoying at all. Thus it can be a little harsh with dirty sounds but you just use the provided eq block (unfortunately not shown in this video), tame the 12k freq and you're fine. In general, with amp sims, even with hardware devices like helix, just use the (usually provided) high pass filter.

[@Lexington1]

This is definitely my next plugin purchase! Have you tried running your Rhodes through it? I'm curious hear what that would sound like.
