Preset area?

[david34000]

Hi.
I have just purchased Amplitube Max and have to say that I love it. My only gripe is the lack of a preset sharing area on this forum. It would be so nice to download and share presets that others have made. I see that there was a preset xchange area once, why was it stopped? Is it copyright issues, or something else?
Are there any plans to make another?

please let me know if you find one haha I'm also in search.

Best,
Mike

This question comes up so often that there should be a sticky post for it!

Once upon a time, there was a preset-sharing section of the IK Multimedia web page, but it disappeared ages ago and shows no obvious signs of returning anytime soon. There is no official word on why.

At the moment, there is a fan-run Facebook group for preset sharing. It's pretty active, but obviously Facebook is not really a good interface for this sort of thing and not everyone uses Facebook. Still, if you do use Facebook, you should be able to search for the group and find it pretty easily. (It has some fairly obvious name, like "Amplitube Preset Exchange" or something like that!)

There used to be some online forums for general amp sim preset charing (for Amplitube and other software), but I don't know if they're still active.

Out of curiosity does any know the reasoning for IK not offering their users a Preset Exchange ?
I just find it hard to understand why a company wouldn't offer this simple highly requested addition to their software line to their loyal customers.

As noted, there is no official word on why the old preset exchange was deprecated nor on why nothing has replaced it. Your guess is as good as mine!

It would be nice if IK Multimedia gave an official reason for not having one, as it would add to the enjoyment and learning curve of using Amplitube. There is hardly any way of finding or buying new presets (the best I can find is Choptones, but they're nearly all metal).

PLEASE GIVE US THE REASON AMPLITUBE!!!!!!

p.s And I do make my own, but it is nice to get a bit if inspiration from others sometime.

There is no official statement on this. There is currently no preset exchange on the updated web site as it was not possible when that update happened. The requests for a preset exchange have been relayed to the correct people at IK. Thank you.

Also please do not use all capitals. It is the text equivalent of shouting. We need to keep it civil here.

Also please do not use all capitals

Thats noted - sorry

Thanks for the reply.

I also think it would be great to have a preset area for all the products.
Is there any rule against posting a link to presets in this forum?

for now i think we only have this option...

I'd like to request this area too. I'm not great at making my own presets and would really like to try ones made my people who know what they're doing.

Sorry if I'm not supposed to have bumped an old thread.

The old IK web site did have a preset sharing area which I enjoyed. Let's bring it back and consider integrating it into the software for searches and downloading.

Bumpidibump.

As someone who is just getting into effects in general (and software in particular), a major reason for me when deciding between [mod edit: another product] and amplitube is the possibility to download other guitarists takes on recreating specific sounds.

While I love the amplitube 5 interface and the (in my opinion) more realistic sound without much fiddling knobs to make it sound realistic (I hope that sentence makes sense), the absence of a sharing place for user presets is a real dealbreaker to me.

A Facebook group has been set up for this exact purpose. Feel free to join us, it's called "Amplitube Knowledge and Preset Sharing".
