In regards of tedious audio in and out config when having approach with multiple chains (chain per fx) in the patch we could create guitar template snapshot with common few chains properly linked and named and ready to add fxs. For example have empty chain named compressor, distortion, amp, delay, reverb chains in snapshot ready for configuration.
I am straggling to get ratatouille to save properly snapshot. It never loads models or IRs after snapshot is loaded or after restart. Also there is a strange behaviour that all audio channels are marked with yellow S on the top once they are loaded.
Also I am straggling to get IR cubism working. File selector is not showing IRs folder and there is no VNC UI for this plugin. It is a best practise to not mix cabs when playing live and only have multiple amps going into the same cab so that tonal difference is not odd for audiance. Ratatouille is not great for this because each amp has its own IR. Therefore I am using standalone NAM and IR after it. Is there are any other standalone IR plugin ? Can cubism be fixed so that *.wav files can be loaded from IRs dir.
I have seen the same problems with Ratatouille. It does load the models and IRs if you save a preset and then save the snapshot. But it does not load different models on ZS3s unless presets are saved first. I also can’t load IRs with IR Cabsim. I am using x42 - IR Convolver Mono in series with NAM which seems to be working properly. It’s built for reverb convolution so it has a dry/wet control. For cab sims, just turn that to all wet. I have also used AIDA-X in series with NAM (turn off the amp modeler) for loading IRs. It also has the EQ and depth/presence controls.
Thanks for confirming this. I thought that I was going crazy with ratatouille because it sometimes load snapshot and sometimes not. I will test with preset first approach.
I know that IR can be loaded through some other plugin but it would be good to have a just IR loader plugin. IR cabsim looks appropriate. Also I am pretty sure that IR cabsim file selector worked at some point but stopped on latest versions.
The good thing is that when NAM and IR works it is very convincing. Also it takes pedals in front of it very well and behave like real amp. I was never being able to achieve the same with lines 6 helix.
Hence I play now much more now than ever. I have two zynthian boxes. I use one with stable snapshots and another for experimenting where I spot these issues.
