Anyone got experience with Amplitube software?

[Rich_T]

Hey hey, i picked up a cheap version one M-Box by digidesign the other day, and it came with amplitube software.

Thing is, when i bend sustained notes i get this crazy swooshing moving harmonics sound in the background, wierd noise. Is that a problem with the software that I can't do anything about? Bit of a shame if it is, there are some great sounds on there.

I got a trial version of it with guitar pro 3. There was only a few useable sounds I could get from it. In today's world of amp modelers it's pretty lame IMHO. The Line 6 guitar port blows it away !!

Just say no to amplitube!! One of the worst plugin modelers I've ever heard. Unless your looking for a decent overdrive or some of the most thin high gain sounds ever then you'll hate it. And yes amplitube makes some strange noises from time to time, I really don't know what it is or what can be done about it.

it can have some cool uses on non-guitar sources like drum machines and keyboards. it can dirty them up in an interesting lo-fi way. but i agree it doesn't sound real at all as an amp emulator.

the only decent use i've ever gotten out of it is for fattening/warming up bass tracks. for guitar, it's worthless.

friends don't let friends use amplitube, my buddy has it and I hate it, its irritating to use and sounds bad.
