AcmeBarGig BIG - Bass Integrated Gain [Freeware]

Installation is as easy as drag and drop.

Configuration is quite difficult but the price of the versatility necessary to control the beast and go live in the advanced options, take the time to tweak, but once you get the stuff, it's coming soon. And above all, it is really worth. It still lacks clear user presets to begin to indulge in a minute.

I have not read the manual, I do not know too if there is one.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use it in Reaper on an old AMD 3000 +, it consumes about 10% of resources, it is not rocket science for the result. No crashes to report but of course I have not seen my back airtime.

OVERALL OPINION

I just spent a few hours on it, I find it good ... Now! Because at first hearing.

The configuration of the "cab" is pretty amazing with the management of resonances, the filters sound really: we can go far in the fine subtlety, that realism ... and unrealistic! It has a grain potentially very real possible level drives. The compressor does not that also the numbers.

Do not rely on some "presets come with, it has nothing to do with what we can get. The only problem: not yet returned and user presets, so you have to want to tinker, but seriously it's worth the shot. Go directly to advanced: "Cabinet shaper is a must (and also gut, especially to see the grains of different drive), although it still lacks certainly an option of" dimension "(maybe just that I do Masters enough?).

Rest by taking the time and as and when we mastered the trick, you can get results very very good imho, and varied. I put it directly in the simulation SVX, I think it even surpasses it because one can probably emulate almost anything - and of course also be able to create his custom amp (except grain and the reaction of the drives, but there's already so many choices!). The result in a small room reverb can be quite Grasp, and especially adapted to its super low tastes, and songs.

When you think that something like this is free: !!!!!!

Try also quite fun, the simulator microphones in the same box, always free. If the simulation is scratching of the same ilk (not yet had time to test), I also think that a lot of competing companies already have to make bile given the apparent quality and free of what they have out: it is quite incomprehensible elsewhere.
