Reviewer Background
:
30 years of songwriting and multitrack recording. Cubase SX3 on QuadCore Q6600. Rock/Pop music. UAD-1 studio pak, several Voxengo plug-ins, Antares, etc.
Ease of Use
:
1
Took 4 days to install. Wouldn't authorize the serial number that came with the boxed version I bought at Guitar Center. IK Multimedia's service model is cumbersome, labor intensive and infuriating. The worst I've seen, by far. Had to use several of my 5 authorization codes to get it going. They basically said, "tough luck".
Sounds/Sound Quality
:
3
It sounds OK, but I was expecting to be blown away. I don't find the tube iterations that realistic. The fuzz stuff is OK. Yawn.
Overall Rating
:
1
Horribly overpriced, especially when you consider the time spent in customer service hell. If you like having one of your plug-ins give you the finger everytime you launch it, then this is the product for you.If the Guitar Center won't give me my money back for this piece of junk, I'm so engraged that I think I'll relieve myself in the mouth of the first $3500 Taylor acoustic I see at crotch level.
