Ola, do you just open the plugins and play?
Whenever i open my Overloud TH 3 and play my guitar directly into it, it sounds muddy and canned.
But if i record my guitat tracks in a DAW first and then process them via Overloud - they sound okay.
What's wrong?
How do you guys just plug and play a vst ?

Ola Englund hey ola can U put this in your next faq I’m curious about what it took for u to write your solo album what was your process would u write like u were with the haunted with a drummer and etc or would write something then play something that sounded better and add it to that riff and add like supriour drummer or somthing what was your recording process did u do it in your home or in a third party studio and was it something that was hard for yourself or was it easy and anyone one of us(subs) could do it
Long question I know but ps love your work and the album long live king ola
very cool..I hope you definitely upload a update on whether or not it worked for a live rig. I need to travel and all my gear weighs me down (no pun intended) from doing so $$..let us know Sir Ola!!
The re-guitar thing is neat, but I really enjoy switching between different guitars for different sounds. The feel and look of the guitar colors my playing as much as the sound, I have found.
When will you post coffee with Misha?
As soon as you said, "Can load external programs and VSTs", I was sold.
Me too, friend, me too!
You can load third parti vst there. But there are other free alternative like elements vst host, but without the A/B switching.
The seamless blending of those two tones is amazing. I love the clean and distorted sounds mixed. That truly is next level shit!!!
I thought it sounded beautiful and unique. I've never heard a tone like that before.
@@ACGmusic0117 there is an ernie ball overdrive with expression pedal. But have that option on a plugin is amazing.
Its like kemper,s morphing..the only thing i liked on the kemper..well the reverbs are killer now too.
The blend of sound A and B blow me away. That is something to noodle around for hours.
Axiom is my fave amp software. They think completely differently to other devs. The three building blocks not only make amps, they make tape sims, EQs, strange efx which aren't even trying to be "amps", etc. And their low and mid gain amps are done better by them than anyone. Chimy Fenders and Vox (- like sounds), in which you can hear the power tubes breathing. And that labyrinth surrounding the main window can be jacked with freely, and you can place efx before or after the amp setup. And their reverb/delay system is like an entirely other plugin in its own right. It's very deep in what you can do with it. Axiom is great. If whoever's reading this is trying to decide, just buy it.
Thanks! Glad that you like it!
This is insane. Finallly my twisted dream to tonal savagery become real. That A/B mix sold me. And that you can control it with expression, well done. Basically switch preset with expression pedal, sweet!!
I just can't believe how far amp modeling has come over the past few years.
Guitar Rig will still be my choice, been using it live for years.
Me too. I just wish they would finally update the amps. I added the Reflektor so I can use IR's but an 3rd party plugin loader would be super nice. I still like the UI very much but the amps are not up to date anymore with Neural DSP and such over there.
How do hi gain amps sound in this plugin? Let's load an external amp sim that costs additional 100 euros and find out.
Actually, I think the Triple Triple he loaded sounded pretty good. At least, I like it.
@@bobaattila6832 Actually I think it sounds (a liddddle bitt) better than NATAS lol. Well probably it's just me....
It's like doing a guitar review and immediately changing the pickups after strumming one chord. 😂
I think you missed the point of this video
Here is one example for you even though *this* particular one is a little dark sounding. 07:07
Ok. I`m getting this today. Why haven`t I seen this before! More Money to spend then. And With my Solar ATG arriving on monday its gonna be a busy next week.
Honest Amp Sim Reviews Nice! Thanx 👍🏼😎
@Honest Amp Sim Reviews That is interesting
The Englund Effect - _noun_
Definition: When Ola demos a plugin, we download it.
Revalver can host vst. And Elements vst host are a free options, without the option to A/B mix.
This is Guitarception where you can have plugins inside of plugins!
You can also keep loading more instances of Axiom inside of itself until your CPU cries.
DUDE, run that, get an FCB1010 foot pedal, has 2 expressions and lots of stomp style buttons. With that MIDI learn feature, you can set effects to those stomp style buttons, and with the dual expression, you can essentially run Axiom in Axiom with Technically an A, B, C and D channel controlled by both expression pedals.
Boom stereo rig
I instantly thinking about Adrian Belew.......
Thanks David, that was an really great tips, I have now word on that fact! Thanks for sharing :)
05:50 when you have an expression pedal, but it's just more kickass to use the mouse 🤘🤘
Loading axiom inside axiom cracked me up... That's insane!
Your hair looks very silky today. Nice
definitely new conditioner
"Ola testing shampoo"
The ad I got at the beginning of the video was an entire Enterprise Earth song. Not bad at all.
Just what I needed! I already love my Fortin and Nameless, with this will be over 9000!!!
Revalver has been able to do all of this for years.... and handles high gain really well out of the box
Hey Ola. If you want to be in the "Legends" list, you should sack up and make your own set of presets with the built-in amps for distortion. 😝
Experiment more with them and I think you'll find they have a great, natural feel.
What up Ola!!! Man I love your videos, they’re very helpful in finding the right gear.
I'm loving that new angle. The guitar looks so beautiful
Revalver loads third party plugins as well.
You can load third parti vst there. But there are other free alternative like elements vst host, but without the A/B switching.
Revalver and Element does not come even close to what Bluecat can do.
The force seems strong in this one.
Axiomception and A/B sold me. You can do anything, everything in this. WTF.
hi ola, please review the Scuffham S Gear 2
Aside from the new sounds in axiom you can do the same thing in reaper with custom actions bound to MIDI. All you have to do is make actions that solo different tracks, or put them into record mode. There’s a few ways to do it. Might be mind blowing for those in a walled garden like pro tools but I’ve been doing this exact same thing for quite a while now.
Can be done in Logic and Ableton as well, so don't think it's anything new.
Element vst host can also do it, its free. And you have a cheaper thing for Axiom, Blue Cat's PatchWork, that is cheaper, but will be without all Axiom amps and effects, and A/B mix. But that Late Replay delay in axiom need to be investigated because its very complex, of lot of thing to manipulate. Revalver can also host other vst, but also without A/B mixing.
Dude, you missed the coolest and most unique features of the plugin: those that allow you to effectively CREATE your own gear. You can do everything from tweaking the conventional (like changing the center frequency of the treble knob on a Fender Twin) to birthing crazy hybrids (like an AC30 that "cleans up" into a Mesa Boogie) to summoning horrors from guitar techs' worst nightmares, and that's just in the amp section. Many of the FX are also heavily customizable, particularly BlueCat's delay (I'm blanking on the name), which is almost as tweakable as Axiom itself (you can actually arpeggiate the repeats).
Yeah, Axion may be a great way to combine, organize, and route third-party plugins, but if that's all you use it for, you're REALLY missing out.
Probably what was most interesting to me is how you can shape the pre-amp with an IR. You can get all those nuances between Marshall amps and tighten them up as you please. It makes BIAS Amp seem like child’s play without being overwhelming like other modellers (revalver). Oh - and the sound quality is great, it got a near perfect score from honest amp sim reviews .com That and the effects sound great for guitar, they aren’t all whacky and inapplicable. I also tried re-guitar in the axiom and it works amazing turning my P90 into a chunky chug machine. All in all, amazing.
I tried this out, the high gain amp modeling is plain bad, the clean tones are fine, the crunch just ok. The A/B mixing seams to be the strong point, and that it can host other vst. There are free alternative, but miss the A/B mix. Like revalver can host other vst, and the free option Elements vst hoster. To convince me, just try to get a good plexi tone out of axiom. You wont make it, not even with an IR's on this one. If your really got the amp sim in this one as a perfect score you beat me, it cant be biased views.
But as an vst hoster and setups it has potensial in the way you can ad your own stuff in to it.
Reason 10 is the best third party plugin loader. The light version is at a double digit price and is complete studio daw
Yeah I Also Buy And I Really Like It... Blue Cat Axiom Made In France... Nice Ola
Axiom spelled backwards is Solar Bass.
6 string fretless
@@jopezo_ with a whammy bar
@@jopezo_ With an evertune!
ReValver 3 and up load 3rd party plugins as well. It looks like Blue Cat used many features from their earlier Patchwork VST.
I've been considering actually making something like this for years becasue there's not much out there bar some clumsy homebrew betas. I just wanted a simple standalone plugin loader that is MIDI controllable and works like a DAW inserts rack with its own pre and post EQ/inserts. Looks like I was beaten to the game and then some.
Revalver can host vst. And Elements vst host are a free options, without the option to A/B mix.
Awesome! Reminds me of mainstage...
This app combined with the Libra IR loader would be a new level of tone shaping power.
Element vst host can also do it, its free. And you have a cheaper thing for Axiom, Blue Cat's PatchWork, that is cheaper, but will be without all Axiom amps and effects, and A/B mix. But that delay in axiom need to be investigated because its very complex, of lot of thing to manipulate. Revalver can also host other vst.
I've been using Bluecat's Patchwork for a long time, I love it. It does the same things but without any built-in amps or effects. I don't think it has A to B switching either...so same but different. I like that it loads a good bit faster than my DAW. It is also about $50 cheaper than Axiom. So if you already have your own favorite guitar sims and don't need any more, Patchwork is a good alternative.
Revalver can host vst. And Elements vst host are a free options, without the option to A/B mix.
Hey Ola!
If you had to choose one vst to do a full album with, what would it be and why ?
Cheers from Jordan
.
easily Neural DSP NTS
that would be a good question for an faq
Rocksmith.
that's such a good question :O :D
This is stuff is mind-blowing, midi sound live will become the norm in the future I'm sure of it
I love it when you say "mee dee".
That feel when you’re sleeping in your car in America kinda drunk and ola has a new video
Your taste in tone gradually gets more "dad-rock" over time, you should have a jam with your dad for a video/song!
Peavey Revalver has third party plugin support, I don't recall how extensive it is though.
It's cool that it looks like it switches from preset to preset pretty much instantly. a problem i have with Bias FX is that if you wanna switch between different presets it takes a bit and it destroyes the sound in that little transition period, not by much, but enough to ruin the experience :(
This is nice
Impressive, very impressive.
Yeah, this kicks ass...
I love Blue Cat stuff. I've been using the MB-7 mixer since around Christmas and it kicks ass. You can load 3rd party plugs on it too. Looks like I'm going to have to jump on Axiom too.
Please share with your members how you would turn this into your live rig into a cab.
Sounds good. I will be interested when you do use it live and see how you get on.
Will latency an issue and would you have the confidence that it would not let you down through a live show?
I don't get excited about plugins much these days after buying the NTS suite, but this looks insanely cool. Damn, I guess my kids aren't going to eat next month.
Ordered that beautiful blood red guitar yesterday. Please send me a gorgeous specimen OLA ,,,,cheers from Colorado
What would it sound like if you use the Fortin NTS and Nameless Suite together 😻
Looks awesome dude
Hey Ola
I got a quick question.
What would you recommend for sure to record at home as close as possible sound wise to feared band.
Like from guitars trough audio interface - recording program - plugin etc.
Would be really helpful as long I wish to make my own records at home.
Cheers.
Ola’s got the best accent. You can yoose a meaty controller”. 😂
Pitchy wah reminded me of the intro to Muse - Cave.
sounds cool, picked this up, can you upload your clean tone setting, that sounds real nice
You did not even dig into the Destruction part that allows to shape the distortion inside the amplifier section. With this you could customize the amp you're using then no longer need a third party amp sim Vst. I Hope you would try it in another video so we could hear how you make it sound.
YES
so glad to hear that all of this is meaty controllable lol 2:07
I’m surprised nobody thought of this before. A VST is a VST so why not create software other than a DAW that can utilize all VST platforms. Genius
There's several programs that do exactly this already.
@@RizzleKStand alone programs that can be installed on a lap top and be midi controlled for live application? ( and utilize multiple VST's?) I've never seen one.
Damn my bank balance this month
This looks awesome. I think I'd prefer it to a DAW
Element vst host can also do it, its free. And you have a cheaper thing for Axiom, Blue Cat's PatchWork, that is cheaper, but will be without all Axiom amps and effects, and A/B mix. But that Late Replay delay in axiom need to be investigated because its very complex, of lot of thing to manipulate. Revalver can also host other vst, but also without A/B mixing.
Peavy Revalver has been doing this better and longer than Blue Cats in my purely subjective
opinion. Its not a fact, only what I can say I much rather prefer. Ola, hes f-ing bad ass. He can make a pile of crap sing like Whitney! I'm not that good. So I rely on the gear quite a bit more. And I cant say that I really cared for the Blue Cats amps and effects. mostly used it when I wanted to pitch shift cause that works well, and their new pick up simulator is bad ass. But if you ask me, much better quality amps with 3rd party plugin options is Revalver 4. And the ACT pickup simulator is unmatched from anything Ive played yet, keeping in mind i havent used BIAS Fx2 yet. But Revalver4 has been out for years, so I'm really hoping to see a v5. BTW, the ACT isnt just to make your guitar sound like another generic pick up, Like Blue Cats. you have modern option, vintage, single coil, acoustic etc in BC. But Peavy ACT actually has guitar models, you pick from a Les Paul, PRS, Tele, Strat, nylon string, steak string. Martin HD28, Takamine, Firebird, on and on and ontop of the acoustic/electric models, you have Bass guitar option and they sound great! Its not just a 12 semitone pitch shift to make guitar sound like bass. You get an actual bass guitar sound. And if all these options weren't enough, every guitar has the correct amount of pickup selector selections. So the Liberator with EMG 81-60 pickups has Neck, Bridge and Both, and each one of those has a Standard or Drop B tuned option. The Strat has 5 way pickup simulations. The bass guitars have Pick or finger simulations with 3 way or 5 way pickup selector simulation and acoustic guitars have simulations have finger picking, Pick strumming, various mic position simulation and pizeo simulations. Revalver has been doing this longer than Blue cats and even on an older platform, their amps dominate blue cats in tone and you have 3rd party plugin options. all my gear was Stolen, so I have to play on an $80 Rok Axe. Its sucks so bad, its missing a string, the nut is broken so I reset it so the 5 unbroken slots match up with the 5 stings I have. 2 bolts in the neck joint snaped so theres only 2 bolts holding it together. and I have to play into a 2004 M-Audio Fast track that hasnt has driver support since 2012. But I PHCUKING LOVE GUITAR, so If its all I can play, its what I will play till hopefully one day being able to afford to replace the gear I dont make enough money to pay for. so I always load Revalver on my input signal and use the Pickup simulation just to get a half way decent usable DI. I can only imagine how good itll sound when I can at least upgrade to a $200 Ibanez and a newer Focusrite solo or something. Hopefully before I die I'll be able to buy a SOLAR guitar. I dont care if I can only afford one the day before I die, bury me with it! Cause a Solar guitar is my dream!!
at least there is a single person who got the thing... Totally agree with you. I've been using ACT for years and thats amazing feature. I feel sorry for you that your gear was stolen.
Peavey's Revalver did all of that years ago.
Element vst host can also do it, its free. And you have a cheaper thing for Axiom, Blue Cat's PatchWork, that is cheaper, but will be without all Axiom amps and effects. But that delay in axiom need to be investigated because its very complex, o lot of thing to manipulate.
Looks and sounds great, any latency problems?
I was wondering this myself - is latency better than running through a DAW.
From what I hear on the video, it's pretty seamless.
I use it, similar to how he shown it, I’m at 4.9ms latency, which obviously isn’t noticeable one bit...
Its not cpu hungry, and shut down cpu usage when not in use.
It would have been better if you call this review "Plugin Host" and take the Blue Cats Patchwork and make another review with just the Axiom Amps only :)
Great bit of tech, awesome vid!
By the way. How does this compare to the Peavy revalver 4 since this one also loads 3rd part plug ins? Anybody With experiance?
Nothing beats Revalver 4
The amp sim in revalver is much much better. Try out the axiom demo for you self. But axiom has some interesting additions, like mention here in the video. But axiom need to do something heavy on their amp sim sound. The high gain amp modeling is plain bad, the clean tones are fine, the crunch just ok.
Next logical step would be BluCat putting out their own pedalboard that stores what you set up on the computer. That way you could use a computer live without a computer, I guess
at this point is just a preamp modeller that works with pc plugins, like an helix with all the stuff made of plugins. would be extremely cool
Ola the sorcerer. Do you know that you really are the master of your universe?
Descent upgrade for me! Thanks Ola!! Goodbye guitar-rig!
Guitar rig sound better, but there are better and more updated amp sim today. Guitar rig has not been updated for years.
Great cleans but the hi gain left a lot to be desired. Neural DSP Timeless or Granophyre still the best for that.
Seems like this + Microsoft Surface + Meloaudio Tone Shifter Mega would make out a sweet live rig!
Thanks Ola, this shit IS amazing!
Did i hear you right,?
Is it possible to load some drums and play the guitar at the same time??🤔
Yes, that's possible!
With stuff like this it’s making me wonder do I get a Kemper or just buy a good laptop and the best plug-ins? Why’s there so much choice haha
FIRD PARTY PLUG INS!!!!
Seems to be a goto for modern guitar player !
Ola the persuaderer
how to apply an unused Post FX pedal and replace it using another pedal or make it empty
Thats the shit you were doing in the beginning of the video! 10:30 That sound made me wonder how you got that sound but i see now!! Good shit!!
No morning is complete without Ola
FUCKING AWESOME RED GUITAR!
awesome
Holy shit you can definitely get a 6/10 tone with this!
Nice What is the name of the reverb plugin Ola is using? It sounds wonderful. "MagicVerb"?
Awesome video and that red guitar looks really bad ass man.
the midi control doesn't work with helix native...parameter map is greyed out...
I was taking my nap, when this dropped, so not first.
That actually looked great and from what I heard it sounded the same. think I can like that. have a skilful time. Pinge
Dude, you need to check out the Line 6 Helix and their Snapshots!
Very complete this software! show man!! Thank you for always bringing the latest technology in the world of guitar!!!! I still can not buy a MOD to test, for live reality can adapt better, independet hardware processor ...the concept of the MOD is unbeatable...thanks Ola Englund....picking on like..kkkkk
Pretty sweet functionality...don't think midi can learn inception yet though!
You also can load VSTs in Revalver and mix 2 setups with an expression pedal in Guitar Rig (info just for the beginners)
Great video my friend, greetings from Barcelona
this is really cool!
holly crap! Can't wait you're using this rig on the haunted LOL ... is there an output to poweramp that bypass the IR?
yeah just shut the IR off in whatever plugin you're using. Skys the limit!
I’m curious to see gigging differences b/w this product and Mainstage. Neither offer protection from beer spills and/or theft. I wish these things ran comfortably on an iPad-$4k vs $1k.
Ola ! Update on this please are you still using it . Do you still think it’s good ?
