| I seen IR's for preamps, but that is about the extent of it. I'm sure it will happen soon enough though. cam |

| GS Community Manager | Well, not "serve as" but some preamp characteristics can be modelled. The URS Saturation plug-in can do just such a thing... |

| Gear nut | I'm still waiting for the "Pick-A-Mix" plug-in with the Chris Lord-Alge preset. |

| Lives for gear | thats true and it is fact we can recreate many things today internal the box like hardware but to increase the quality of your sound you should buy at least one good preamp. you do not have to spend thousand of dollars for this but good quality signals are important for the internal mix down. it is a fact of physics you cant recreate frequency's which not have been recorded. for this fact a good microphone and a good preamp as well as a good-mic-cable is necessary.

| Lives for gear | Might be a good idea to suggest a good "entry level" book on AE to your friend. Ed |

| ahmz, What platform is he using? Cubase? Logic? Pro Tools? There are many preamp plugins, some do their job, some don't. In my experience I liked what I heard with: AM-Phibia by Magix And LM-662 by Nomad Factory Waves SSL Channel But to get the optimum quality, your friend has to have a transparent frontend (soundcard & A/D converters) to his PC in order to keep the signal as close to original as possible (If your friend is plugging to his $50 soundcard, tell him not to bother )Even after that, some will say that the sound is not comparable to real gear, but with some creative tweaking, those plugins can save the day. Hope this helps, Ete

| re and any compressor and eq plug in? ah, sorry i was joke. |
| | |

| Lives for gear | It is impossible to have a plug-in act as a mic-pre because in order to get the signal into the computer you have to go through a converter which accepts line level inputs and outputs that line level signal to digital. How are you possibly going to amplify a mic-level signal when you have no mic-level signal to amplify? Plus, the amount of signal going into the converter would be so low and noisy you'd never want to use it in a recording. Other "plug-in amplification" software that is available is really just a modeling of gain on a pre-recorded signal. You can model EQ, Compression, Reverb, etc. but if you are going to be using microphones, you absolutely have to have a mic-pre to get that signal into your converter and thus into your computer.

| URS saturation. It's really a subtle distortion plugin but it emulates a bunch of different preamps. It sounds really great. Dean |

I like patching tube microphones into compressors. Less crap in the way. Not so sure doing it with a plug in is quite the same concept.
