It’s the Amps pack that I’ve been using TS, much easier than reamping the DI channel from the location multitrack

I like it. I was not familiar with EZMix1 or any of its packs, so this is quite new to me. I’d made presumptions from the promo material and written it all off as a bit of a toy for bedroom enthusiasts -I was wrong, I misjudged it and I’d happily recommend it.

Juicy,

I’ve only recently started using it in anger when I got the Amp/Cab pack. As far as I can tell it’s a combination of standard algorithmic FX and some convolution for amp and cab simulation.

You get a pack, it comes with a long list of presets that use any of a combination of EQs, comps, expanders, reverbs, limiters amp and cab emulators, de-essers, distortions, tape FX, delays, etc. You get two paramweters to tweak which often have specific or quite broad descriptions and may operate more than one actual FX parameter (eg. delay time, freq range, space, edge, EQ, length, drive, etc…).

It’s ergonomically well-designed in that you can choose FX presets by instrument group, FX, routing type, music genre or source pack.

Don’t know what to say beyond that. Not my way of working and I turned my nose up at it a bit when I first installed one, presuming it was for “non-engineers”, but I’ve had some fun mixing a few of the guitar and bass presets and I certainly would flick through other pack’s presets if I was looking for some creative inspiration when a project needed something beyond corrective or normal shaping processing.

They are good quality and do thier jobs well, I’ve just never considered this kind of plugin since I can competently use EQ, comps, etc. Now I really like them, I have no regrets apart from burning up some time when you can’t drag yourself away from “but what about this mixed with this one…”

That answer your Q, J?

I have found it frustrating waiting for AD to release the licence info to me, but pragmatically I accept it as the flipside to the competitive price.

If I’ve paid by PayPal via credit card and it is early on in their day, then I’ve sometimes got it within minutes of ordering, but as the licence release seems to be a manual verification, orders within a short itme of office closing, especially just before a weekend are not to be recommended if you want it in a hurry.

Typically if within working hours, they send the licence within 2 to 3 hours of payment verification, if CC/Paypal. Depends whether they have the licence numbers on-site or if they have to request them too though, I think (consider the time zone differences between the US and Sweden here).

Prices, I think J has explained.

Play nicely now…

I’ve bought Superior Drummer and EZDrummer program and libraries from DV and negotiated discounts when buying multiple packs. They are a good supplier and your local branch will look after a good customer.

I have bought downloadables from Audiodeluxe recently as I cannot find better prices for EZX libraries, and SD2 producer presets.

TT prices are higher because they are keen not to compete with their distributors and the retail outlets. Up to you, of course.

I’ll go back to DV as and when I want to buy the Roots and NY Vol3 SDXs.
