[RWP] Recabinet 4, general plugin frustration and suggestions

[Alex H.]

Hi,

A somewhat quick update on Recabinet 4. Kazrog [finally] put out a
demo version, and while it's got decent tones (with the Psycho A and
Psycho B models which are 5150 and 6505+), it's still as inaccessible
as Recab3. No more than I expected. I also don't care for how muddy
the amp modeler portion is generally, so I don't think it's worth
anybody's cash to get it unless you wish to play with Ocr and scan for
hours trying to craft up your most used patches. All my general tricks
don't work, either, as in Recabinet3 (manually editing preset files
and other boring stuff).

No go with Bias Desktop on Win either. I hear that the Mac version
might be possible to hack and get working, but I don't have time to do
that when I have plenty of low-cost and free sims that do the same
thing. Better or not is subjective, but the supposedly really good
stuff, as always, is out of reach pertaining to accessibility.

I'm going to drop Kazrog another line and see if they can shed some
light on any possible solutions. Maybe if nothing else pre-made
presets in .rpl format, or a bank (FXB) with some templates and such
of all the amps. It's nowhere even close to ideal, but I'd rather do
something while whining here on this list about how audio and plug
tech passes us by, as has been stated numerous times before. Control
surfaces will only get us so far at any rate.

Any other ideas for this, or in plug access in general? I'm all ears. :D

Have a good one
Alex
