Introduction Straightforward and simple, Vintage Amp Room emulates three great guitar amps in a complete studio set-up with speak er cabinets and fully flexible microphon e positioning. It's easy to use for live per formances and recordings, as well as for re-amping and last- minute tweakin g.
production is about using y our ears, not your computer skills. Simulation T echnology Here follows three geeky sections, so you might want to skip directly to the next chapter on page 9.
the real amp, which easily can ha ve a dynamic range of 1 00 dB. F rom a technical perspective, this means that the signal path within Amp Room always has the highest dynamic range possible, and y ou won't lose any bits on the w a y .
User Interface Simplicity has been the goal when we developed this product ; the amps and mics should work just as they do in the real studio. Unfortunately , moving a mouse cursor on a 1 7” L CD screen isn't ex actly like grabbing the real mic stand in a cozy studio.
Mic Position When the mouse is located over the mic stand, the mouse pointer changes to an “up-down”-arrow . Click -and-drag the mouse up or down to change the position of the mic stand. The microphone mov es along a predet ermined path (see Figure 3), so you only need to move the mouse up or down, just as if yo u were changing a knob.
Amp Selection Y ou can change amp by clicking on the background and dragging the mouse to the left or right. The mouse pointer becomes a “left- right”-arrow when you are pointing at the bac kgro und to indicate that it is possible to change amplifier .
Controls Summary Mouse Up/Down : T o change a parameter such as a knob or the position of the mic stand (Figur e 6). Left/Righ t : T o change amplifier (Figure 7). Click : T o toggle switches or activ ate the “ About”-box. Mouse wheel: Use the mouse wheel to change knob paramet ers and mic stand position.
Platform Specific Issues TDM/R T AS on Pro T ools|HD There are some specific issues to consider when using an RT AS plug-in in recording mode on a Pro T ools|HD system. First of all, an audio buf fer latency is introduced in the RT AS version, but not in the TDM version.
White Amp White is based on an all-round great amp, a classic that set the industr y standard for classic, distorted rock'n'roll sounds. The genius is its simplicity . It's stripped down to the bare essentials – all tubes, only one channel, and no rev erb or any oth er built-in effects.
Knobs The functionality of the knobs on the front panel of the plug-in correspond exactly to the front panel of the real amplifier . Presence : The presence is used to control the feedback loop and thus the amount of treble in the po wer amp. T urn it up to get a high frequency boost.
Brown Amp Amp Room Brown is based on one of the most versatile classic amplifiers in music history . It's been used in all kinds of genres, and with all kind of instruments, thanks to a sound that is clean, crisp and clear , but also warm, thick and punchy .
Knobs The functionality of the knobs on the front panel of the plug-in corresponds to the front panel of the real amplifier , e xcept the spring rev erb, which hasn't been included in this plug-in. W e hav e also added a “Vibrato” switch, which on the real amplifier is a foot switch.
Green Amp Green is packed with character and produces a pleasant guitar sound with warm y et intense poweramp distortion. Its edginess makes it shine through in mix es, without drowning out other instruments. Green is based on a famous brit-pop amplifier from the middle of the 60's.
Knobs The functionality of the knobs on the front panel of the plug-in corresponds exactly to the front panel of the real amplifier , ex cept that we have added the foot switch as a “Vib- T rem Off-On” switch. Vib- T rem Off-On : T urn on the vibrato or trem olo effect by moving this switc h clock-wise.
Pitfalls and Commo n Mistak es (I nput Impedance is Important!) It is very impor tant to have a line box or a preamp with an input that is designed for guit ar (or bass) before the signal from your guitar enters your computer . More technically speaking: the signal from your guitar must go directly into a high impedance input (1 megohm).
although this will most probably rule out most input stages and A/D co nverters. Input Levels Mak e the Difference! If you experience the amplifier distor ting too much or too little, you should exper.
Buying Recommendations If you like the sound from Amp Room and would like to get that sound using the real deal (let's face it, a real vintage amp is alwa ys sexier than a plug-in), here are some buying recommendations. White If you like the sound of the White amp, we recommend you to buy a Marshall JCM800 2203 with a 1 960A 4x1 2” cabinet.
