    Got this one as well and it's sick AF. But also have had the same bugs where Everytime I select a preset then close the instance of the plugin it doesn't show which one it was on before so you have to remember. Also have had a few bugs where the sound isn't right upon reopening it until you re select whatever preset or settings you had. Not a huge issue but a little hiccup I hope they fix in an update. Also notice some weirdness when you turn on the drop and off. It's like it's creating a double effect sometimes but not always. So it's an awesome plugin with some unique sounds just a little quirky.

    • @BlakeLW
      @BlakeLW 6 дней назад

      Yeah there’s a few things here and there I’ve noticed and plan on bringing up with the WaveMind team. I have high hopes that it will only get better. They seem to be on top of their stuff and I appreciate that. Overall though it’s such a fun plugin. I find myself reaching for it more often for layering than what my usual sims were

    • @ShockwaveTXB
      @ShockwaveTXB 6 дней назад

      @@BlakeLW I agree, they seem to be very much into making some killer products and are very open to the feedback and input. I did a screen recording to show them what I was experiencing and communicated a bit with them about it. Hopefully they'll work out a few fixes for an otherwise brutal and impressive plugin. I ended up using this one to replace my main left/right guitar tone which I was using Gojira for previously in a track/mix I'm currently working on. I did a quad track blending this plugin with II II II II and it's got that modern take on a 90s death metal tone. I really love the tone you're getting from this plugin alone with that 7 string. I think I'll need to get one of those eventually. Great work!

  • @iamjacktaylor
    @iamjacktaylor 6 дней назад

    I am absolutely a huge fan of low end heavy guitars, but I have a love and hate relationship with trying to sit the guitars and bass in the low end - this is what I find annoying when shaping the tone. However, I like the fact that you've explained about fitting the guitar tone in by using another cab sim, and IRs I believe are the case in terms of phasing issues if this makes sense. Nevertheless, good video and the plugin sounds great! I enjoyed every bit of it.

    • @BlakeLW
