Recording DI and Plugins

[Basshead]

Which are your fav guitar plugins right now?

Im using some Waves and Valhalla, I like to experiment!

I use Reaper as my DA and it comes with a lot of plugins. I use their graphic EQ and sometimes their tremolo.

For my amp sim, I use either Scuffham S-Gear or Noire Tones.

Everything else I use is freeware.

For Tremolo, when I want something a bit more vintage sounding, i use Pecheneg Tremolo1.

For my IR loader/speaker sim, I use Lancaster's Pulse. There is also a Pulse 2 now but I continue to use the original.

For reverb I mostly use Tal 2. The current version is 4. I like the quality of version 4 but my favorite verb patch is on V2.

For compression I use Klanghelm's MJUCjr

For increasing volume in mixing I use Thomas Mundt's Loudmax and I track output levels with the Youlean Loudness Meter.

I've collected dozens of free plugins over the years and bought a few as well, but those cover the overwhelming majority of my needs and uses. Recently, I've also started working with a VST host for playing live at home and after some experimenting, it appears that my choice for that is turning out to be Cantabile.

I just got Studio One and getting started in this game. Found dirty amp sims galore, but no good clean one yet. At your suggestion, I'm installing S-Gear 10-day trial right now. thx

For reverbs, I got Abbey Road Plates and Seventh Heaven and I like 'em both.

If you haven't watched this already, Sandra Sherman gives a run down of her Scuffham settings in this video for a clean amp .

fast forward to 18min.

The Custom '57 Tweed amp model in the Scuffman plugin doesn't sound as good as the DI from my amp, so my plan B is receive the DI from my amp and add a miked cabinet IR from one of the amp sims I already own, such as Amplitube 5. I'm going to kick that around this weekend.

... Scuffman ...

It's Scuffham, not Scuffman.

Well I just deleted it, so I don't need to remember anymore.

Try Neural Amp Modeler, is free,there are good captures of amos like Fender Princeton or Deluxe reverb.
I also can get by using stock plugins in reaper. There are some spring reverbs too (not stock)
