Hello gearslutz !
I want to add some informations from the (french) horse's mouth…
First apologies to PC people for the 'lust only' email... we didn't intended to make anybody more slutty than they already are, for free :-)
We'll consider distinguish newsletter informations next time.
About PC update, we have the ability to do it, and in fact have already ValveTone kind of working under Windows. Every fix we do no the mac code, also benefit the PC code, so things are evolving and it may not be long until our mac users receive the newsletter about PC update ....
THat said, we want to be prudent and not give away date, or even tell publicly that it 'WILL' be done, until it's really here… And you know, with software, there's often surprise and delay... Mostly porting the plugin is one thing, supporting it is another thing.
So we're looking into this and it may (or may just not) happen. Thanks for understanding.
I perfectly understand the red face or duvalle !
If you have heard the
FREE ClassicTone PEV on GTR, you would presently be violet
(sorry couldn't resist ...)
So indeed, ValveTone V2 has the same velvet sound (as we wanted to allow recall for our v1 users). Though we reduced some convolution artifacts called 'ripple'. It's an inch further truer to hardware, and IMO slighly more hi-fi overall.
Wow ! 250 instances ? that's trully amazing what computer can do nowadays…
Those trebles in ValveTone are lovely. True enough that even a few years after original release (and many very good competitors) I most often keep reaching for VT62 in my main vocal chain.
Now gotta look for 250 singers ...... amazing times........
