Hello everyone, I'm new here and was introduced by one of your long time members who thought that you may find use for some of our free software. So as we release freeware, I'll be sharing it with you. If at any time the community here finds this disrupting, or disrespectful in any way, we won't post. We are not here to be spammers, just sharing some of our work with you.
For the most part we have been concentrating our software development on guitar. So, we have been making things like stomp boxes, rack delays, verbs, virtual guitar amps and cabs. We have not started to develop for MAC yet, but thats coming in future. So its primarily PC VST effects for use in recording software like Cubase, Nuendo, and Reaper. Most stuff will be outright freeware, some postings may be trials. However, any trial version we make is non-limited, and is good for 30 days. But, here's the cool thing, our trials never stop running. We only ask that you register, its really up to you if you do. They don't contain any of the annoying HISS or audio dropouts, they are the same as the registered version, except a nag screen at the beginning.
So here is the first offering for you. Its a guitar cabinet simulator that runs on the HUGE Redwirez Guitar cabinet library.(209,000 Cabinet files)
For those of you who have the AWESOME Redwirez cabinet library, you know how much of a PITA it is to navigate and load cabinets. After all, there’s 180,000 + individual Impulse response files. It’s a vast array of options to be sure.
The task of selecting the browse button, finding the library, deciding on a cabinet, deciding on a mic… Wait! It doesn’t stop there, now you have to decide on a distance. One inch, two inches, three inches? Do I want the mic on or off axis? Should it be on the cone, cap, cap edge, or the cone edge? If you get that selection wrong, you’re back to square one. Click the browse button again, and keep repeating the above steps…
iFace takes care of that for you. Select a cabinet, and or a mic, and then iFace does the rest. Simply moving the controls locates and loads the correct cabinet file. Its simple and a more natural way to select a cabinet.
All you need to do is have a Redwirez cabinet installed to its default “factory” path, Then tell iFace where it is. After that just select what cab and mic you want, then go about moving the controls..
Want the mic at three inches away from the cabinet? Then slide the mic three inches away from the cabinet…Want it off axis? Then select off axis… Pretty simple...
iFace also supports the matched ambient mics of the Redwirez library. Most cabinets in the Redwirez library also contain Impulse response files of mics placed at ambient locations throughout the studio. These are also available through the Ambient mics selection menu. Once again, these are "matched" and what WE mean by matched is, the ambient mics are recordings of the cabinet you have selected, Not a recording of a balloon pop or starter pistol...
There are plenty more features, but we'll let you explore and find them yourself. If you have any trouble, or questions, feel free to post here as we'll be regularly monitoring this thread to provide support to you. If you like you can also obtain support directly from the iFace discussion at the AcmeBarGig forums here.
Thanks for reading and checking it out...
For those of you that already have the Redwirez Cabinet library, iFace can be downloaded at the following link now. We don't make you register or any of that other PITA stuff that is usually associated with free downloads.
Don't forget to read the manual! Its 65 pages, but most of it is the Redwirez IR matrix which tells you what cabinet IR's are included.
For those of you that do not have the Redwirez cabinet library, Redwirez have been gracious enough to provide you with a freeware cabinet. Its a recording of a Marshall 1960A with 4 Celestion G12M speakers.
You can get it here..
Known issues
I want to post about known issues here as we did not have time to address these before release. They are being worked on right now though.
SONAR all versions 64 bit
Description:
There is an issue with the plugin automatically loading presets on saved projects.
In depth:
If you add iFace to a track, when you open the project at a later time, iFace will have "forgotten" your selections.
Temporary work around:
Save the iFace preset and load it on the recorded track. Please do test this work around though as any information you can give us on this issue will be helpful.
