TONOCRACY - The Best Free Guitar Plugin? ||| First Impressions

[@Tryggvasson]

the answer is yes. it's my go to. it's still got some issues, particularly the effects which are ok, but not great, a preset saving bug, and a few limitations on organizing and renaming presets, but the insertion of nam in a complex and configurable signal chain - doubled by their own schem models - which are not at all bad, though i prefer a good nam - is a gamechanger.

[@soundstorm9508]

Tonocracy is insanely good. The "snapshots" (capture function) are what seals the deal for me.

[@davidshankle7359]

I just got this myself and I can see the improvements they will make. They are on their way with this. This is great specially that you can bring the Nam profiles in.

[@cmd_f5]

I'll probably try this out soon. Considering it's free now I'm a lot more interested lol. Finally, something that can do what tonex does without all the IK overhead and bloat. Good video

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

Got it up and it running now …I guess there are kinks still being ironed out ….sorry for the impatience !!!

[@lenickramone]

man, this plugins sound incredible!!!!

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

How do Tonocracy and neural amp modeler differ other than the interface ? See like you can drag nam files into Tonocracy but I’m unclear otherwise how these two programs work together ?

[@jaxflguitar]

you can parallel process fx and cabs and amps as well

[@philippgrunert8776]

Wow, for a free plugin this is awesome

[@picksalot1]

This looks and sounds fantastic! Does it require any kind of special Audio Interface? I have an HX Stomp. Thanks for such a useful demo.

[@galtonestudio]

Any kind of audio interface should do the trick, even the cheapest behringer or focusrite solo :) Cheers!

[@JumpMilione126]

Been using this for the last couple of days. I find that the feel/sound is slightly different when using .nam files in Tonecracy and NAM, do you agree? Anyway, where do I find those lead tones presets like the Cliffs of Dover you used? Thanks and keep it up!

[@galtonestudio]

Those are my presets, based on my Tonex Packs :) Maybe a little bit, but I'm not really using NAM too often so it's hard to judge. mostly because I make my own profiles and i prefer all in one solutions.

[@Airtrooper719]

did you set your input level correctly by entering your interfaces instrument input dBu level?

[@johndo9648]

Not a fan of this methode. I think it’s a misconception to run it like this.

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

Must me a windows only platform even though the directions say it’s audio unit ,vst etc ….audio unit is used by Mac but I’m going to assume they are wrung unless someone who uses.a Mac has got it working ?

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

Loved that demo :) Great playing as usual! What audio interface did you use?

[@galtonestudio]

My old Rme fireface 800 :)

How can I get the Cliffs of Dover pack? Great video by the way :)

[@guicey2035]

I have my input settings set to my interface but whenever i play my guitar it shows theres no sound, idk how to fix it

[@cmenacez8748]

Make sure your selecting the correct input channel on your DAW and you have direct monitoring on / off accordingly

[@arismunandar1954]

How to change from 8000hz to 48000hz with asio?there's no setting for change it😢

[@Tryggvasson]

you can't change it for the vst - the daw's settings will apply there. you can change it in the standalone, from the audio settings.

[@Marcos-st9nc]

how to import tonex nam to tonocracy?

[@johndo9648]

Drag and drop. From a folder to the snapshot list.

[@Privatechannel1111]

Hi!Can you tell me which preset and what settings did you used in the intro of the video where you play guitar??

[@galtonestudio]

Hello! This is my tonesnape based on Petrucci tone model that I have inside my ToneX Lead guitar pack. I'll probably make a pack for tonocracy, but for not there's no real option for 3rd party vendors. I'll probably upload more free presets soon, maybe it'll be one of them, we'll see :)

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

Would you make A/B comparisons of tonsnaps vs real rig?❤

[@galtonestudio]

I am planning a big comparison between NAM, ToneX, Tonocracy, Kemper and Mooer GE Labs :)

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

@@galtonestudio wow sounds exciting! Will you try the null testing too?

[@galtonestudio]

@@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin sure!

[@futurama17]

Testuję i bardzo mi się podoba. Korzystam z Universal Audio Volt 1, komputer to niestety Intel Core i5, 4300U. Na tych bardziej rozbudowanych wtyczkach muszę ustawić nawet 512 na buforze żeby mi nie klikało. Jak myślisz, czy zmiana np na i7 rozwiąże ten problem czy też mój interfejs jest za słaby aby grać np na buforze 32? Pozdrawiam

[@galtonestudio]

Wiesz co, ja mam i7 + 16gb ramu i mi na luzie 128 lub mniej wchodzi. Może kwestia sterowników?

[@futurama17]

@@galtonestudio u mnie słabszy procesor no i 8GB ramu... wiele z tych presetów działa nawet poniżej 128 i nie pyka. Sterowniki aktualne z Universal Audio. Może faktycznie trzeba trochę "odnowić" leciwego Della :)

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

What DAW are you app using ????

[@futurama17]

@@JonRayRunawayVealMusic I use the standalone version of Tonocracy. Yesterday i changed my laptop to i7 11850H and 32GB of RAM. Now it works fine. 128 sample is my default setup now. I couldn't set it up lover before, on presets like "Smooth Blend" without pops...because these presets are very extensive and they consume a lot of CPU.

[@RizkyAshary]

in intro , what preset is that, sounds cool for solo

[@galtonestudio]

It is a capture of my Petrucci Glasgow Kiss tonex preset.

Not working as an audio unit here …won’t pass validation …

Have you made an ilok account? Some people had problems with it because of ilok. Cheers!

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

Weird. Honestly I see no mention of that . I have an ilok

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

@@galtonestudio it’s a free plugin now as far as i know. I have sent a few support questions and have heard nothing back except they are 24 hours to 48hours behind …..it’s been at least a few days now …? Support ? Anyone ?

[@galtonestudio]

Weird i had an ilok so I didnt even notice that it is necessary, but some people reported that problem. Maybe try reinstalling and if it wont work, contact atomic support. Unluckily it is quite buggy in current state but it is worth trying :)

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

Yeah…nobody seems to know …possibly not supported .

[@mikeforner7797]

STAY AWAY......not user friendly setUp

[@galtonestudio]

Well - i guess maybe that 's why it's free :) But where you had a problem? It should work instantly, basically just download installer, set inputs/outputs and you're good to go. Pretty typical, like any other plugin like for example Neural dsp.

[@mikeforner7797]

inputs/outputs wouldn't set up...tried to setUp stand alone...fiddled with it for a bit, then uninstalled@@galtonestudio

[@garethde-witt6433]

None of these plugins are as good as a real amp and speaker.

[@galtonestudio]

Well, i did quite a lot of testing, and null tests won't agree with you, because for example tonex sounds exactly like signal from microphone + tube amp, and i did a lot of tests when i profiled amps :) Same with Neural Amp Modeler and tonocracy. So yeah, that's completely false. Tube amps is not a rocket science, it's a very basic old technology and plugins are way more advanced now than 5,6 years ago.

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

No support at all ???no support whatsoever sno specs .possibly click bait . Be careful

[@DenariusHaveNarius]

The video or tonocracy? Timocracy's been covered by others (non youtubers). My antivirus/malware didn't turn up anything. Not keen on having to register though.

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

Be careful ….I never received a reply from their so called “support “ ….I sent a few messages…..and to even some the former affiliates …..nothing …”0”….just an automated response saying we get back usually withun 24 hours ….it’s been 2 weeks or approx . If they are real which I do believe they are ….they should at least respond with some answers . I asked them what computer requirements ? I explained the plugin never passes validation …although it shows up as a standalone …even that doesn’t work…..I just asked the basics ….weird . It’s possible something not so good is going on or they used registration for another purpose than we all think . Please be careful but also let me know if you get the plugin functioning and if so ….your computer specs etc ….

@@JonRayRunawayVealMusic have you checked the guide on their website? Maybe they do not answer because they get 1000 similar mails every day. Installation is super easy, i have no idea why you have problems with it.
