Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Just seen this offer at https://audioplugin.deals/amplitube-svx-by-ik-multimedia-free-download/ I already own SVX (& SVX 2) but for anyone that doesn't this looks to be a bit of a no-brainer 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) I'm already signed in to the IK Multimedia site from previous offers, but still have hoops to jump through to get this 'freebie'. It's now authorised, but needs to download, through just about the slowest port one could imagine on t'web these days. Current download speed : about 14 KB/s. S'gonna take hours. Still, it's free, I suppose. Nah, it's getting slower still (how is that possible..? '5 days left' prediction for downloading 450 Mb..!). I'll come back to this another day (or week...). It would appear that their main server is a ZX81. Edited August 12, 2020 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its worth the hassle - it consists of great sounding Ampeg SVT & B15 fliptop amps with associated cabs, mics & fx running in your DAW or standalone for practice.

Elfrasho Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Got it last night. Only had a play about with it but you do seem to get alot! The 8x10 cab is excellent! What a time to be a musician! Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Ta for flagging this. Just having a go at downloading it now. What a PITA the process is. Anyway, I'm now (I think) at the point where I can download it, but when I hit the download link I'm getting 403 - forbidden. I'll try later... it's for nowt so I can't really grumble.

Leonard Smalls Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 My download worked fine - and I discovered downloads of sample locker and a synth I'd forgotten about, which was nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Better today; hovering around the 24-30 KB/s, so only four hours to go... Edited August 13, 2020 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Just tried again, and it worked - less than 20 seconds to download for me...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Update... It's winging along now at 40 KB/s; only two hours left to go..! Jealous, me..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Update : Yay..! It's finally got here..! I'll think twice about updating my Philharmonik and Sampletank stuff, though..! Too soon for joy. Winzip tells me ... J:\Zeek_Soft\Vst\IK Multimedia\Amplitube_4 & SVX\AmpliTube_4_Windows_(4.10.0B).zip: Unexpected end of archive ... so it can't install..!

Moos3h Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Funny, I find Amplitube to be pretty universally awful for guitar, but wow that SVX pack has some great tones in it for bass. Thanks OP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Yup. Waves GTR3 is how to do it properly, as is the BX Mega Single. the SVX is definitely worth looking at though, and it this price it’s a no-brainer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 It finally arrived intact, and got installed. I can open it, and use it, as 'stand-alone' or through Reaper. I could also import my presets from the previous version, which I've had for... Well, even longer than that, it turns out. However, the presets I use need one of the Custom Shop amps (HiAmp; virtual Hiwatt...), which I have, and which works well in Amplitube 3. Not so for this new, improved, whiter-than-white SVX version. It now tells me that I need to pay for another Custom Shop HiAmp, for 20€..! Bloomin' cheek, I say. I'll not be using this new version for much, as my previous version, with its Custom Shop HiAmp emulation, was one of the key features that I've already paid for, for both my guitar and bass recordings. Never mind. (What do you mean, you sound p'ed off..? You betcha I'm p'ed off, after having spent some of yesterday evening and much of today rolling this Sisyphean stone up this interminable mountain, only to have it get stuck in a rut, quite near the top. P'ed off ain't the term..! I'm ... Well, disgruntled may be a polite way of expressing how I'm feeling towards these $*à€*+%$¤¤*µ @秧§ so-and-so's. And I mince my words. Bah..! Humbug..!

Nicko Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I'm totally lost with how the download process works. I get an authorisation code and download the IK multimedia authorisation program, and now have an IK account. So now I have a code to authorise the software and the authorisation program, but how do I actually get the software in order to authorise it? If I try I can only download by buying it. I know I'm being thick! Edited August 14, 2020 by Nicko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed (in the end...) to d/l the SVX, but can't now get the other packages that need upgrading, such as my Philharmonik, or SampleTank. Someone got paid far too much for having 'designed' this web site and d/l system. It's a shame, as the products themselves are good (or even very good...), but, to get the latest version, I'd have much less hassle using a torrent site. No qualms; I've paid for the stuff anyway, but it's a poor show, and a darned pity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicko Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 The only way I can see to download it is to go to the shop, and put it in my cart. Then they want me to pay for it. I have managed to download Amplitude 4 and authorise it, but neither Cubase not Ableton will load it. Not sure its really worth the hassle to download something I never knew I needed. The Authorisation Manager and Product Manager seem to be completely unnecessary, not to mention the Custom Shop Manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidder652003 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 As an aside, the "SVT-CL" type amp makes a great mastering tool for any final mix, really gives it a warm tubey boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicko Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 After many hours of frustration and a bit of head scratching I finally got the download to work. But only in Cubase. A semi success. Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) I don't like any of the Amplitude free sims for bass - too muddy with no snap or clarity. Prefer my Bias FX freebie!
