Nice Stomps AmpBrowserAmpBrowser brings thousands of free amplifier profiles directly into your DAW through an intuitive search-and-load interface. Powered by Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) technology and connected to the Tone3000 community library, you can instantly access classic and modern amps by simply searching by brand, model, or amp type. Choose between Full Rig (FR) profiles—where the speaker cabinet is baked into the capture—or DI amp profiles, which let you use your own IR loader and cabinet impulses for complete tonal control. Each amp profile is captured using machine learning for authentic feel and response, and with built-in controls for Gain, EQ, Level, Gate, and Presence/Bright, you can dial in professional tones quickly without managing files or scrolling through endless preset folders. A free Tone3000 account is required for the plugin to function as intended. Please read the manual for setup and usage instructions. No more downloading individual profiles or digging through preset banks — just search, load, and play. Read More

GIK Acoustics introduce Q11D diffusors The Q11D range is based on the design of the existing Q7D, but employs an 11-root well sequence that shifts its effective bandwidth higher into the midrange. 

Solid State Logic (SSL) autoSeries BundleThe autoSeries Bundle contains autoBUS, autoDYN and autoEQ. SSL autoSeries: Dial in your sound with Profile and Style. Profile tells the AI assistance what source it's working with: kick, snare, vocal, or more, optimising processing for that signal type. Unlike a preset with fixed parameters, a profile adapts intelligently to your input. Style shapes the character of the processing: Neutral, Warm, or Bright, while the Intensity control lets you push processing from subtle to 200% for bold results. Together, Profile and Style give you flexible, editable starting points. Let sonible's AI analyse your audio and deliver real-time recommendations, so you can move fast, stay creative, and achieve musical results with the authentic SSL 4000E sound. Read More
