Neural Amp Modeler, But Better! (NAM Universal by Wavemind)

In this video we check out the new FREE plugin from Wavemind, Nam Universal. This plugin really takes the Neural Amp Modeler to the next level with extra features that may keep some people from using NAM in the first place.

Hey Steve, Andy from the NAM-U/Ampsim Universe team. There will be a version 2 in the future. Will be adding some feature requests. You can also send your feedback/issues and suggestions directly to Chris at Wavemind with the FEEDBACK button in the lower left. Thanks for the kind words and suggestions.

the TIGHT knob is a simplified one knob Andy Sneap Waves C4 trick tailored to duck only a narrow range of the overbearing resonant low end bass frequencies you get from when you do chuggs/palm mutes. It keeps them in, just lowers the volume of them and a little goes a long way.

The SMOOTH knob does the same dynamic EQ thing, only acting as a de-esser to control higher harsh high-mid and treble frequency areas.

They interact a lot with the OOMPH (bass) and SPARKLE (highs) knobs and you can kind of do the Pultec EQ bass mixing technique to add harmonics and also tame the resonance of the boosts.

Hello, I like the information in your video. But if possible, can you not edit it so close together. It's like you're continuing talking without talking a breath. It doesn't sound natural.
Hope I didn't offend you by saying this. But if you go back and watch it. Then just listen to it without watching it. You can hear what I am talking about. 🙂

Do not waste your time! It sounds like crap... I dont know who is paying this guy to say its good. It sucks bad!

[PippPriss]

Great video! On the Aggrevator: Tight is the "Andy Sneap Trick", where you can multiband-compress the low end. Smooth is the same, but for high frequencies. Essentially you are squishing the respective frequencies.
Instigator is the Pre-Gain Tonestack of a Mesa Mark Series Amp.

The Comp knob (since renamed to TIGHT on an update) is not a full range regular compressor but a simplified one knob Andy Sneap Waves C4 trick tailored to duck only a narrow range of the overbearing resonant low end bass frequencies you get from when you do chuggs/palm mutes. It keeps them in, just lowers the volume of them and a little goes a long way.

The SMOOTH knob does the same dynamic EQ thing, only acting as a de-esser to control higher harsh high-mid and treble frequency areas.

This thing sounds great but it glitches out in cubase and uses nearly all my cpu. The regular NAM doesn't.

Hey, i want my 0.3% back Steve.. Quantum speaker is 99.6% accurate :)HUGE thanks from the Neutron team for the mention, and cool little expo on this new tool, might just have to check it out myself..

You only use half of the ir loader, that's why sound so bad, you can use only 1 but you have to pan to a o b setting

Best review video and straight to the point. But a little explanation of what all the knobs do will be better. Btw good job!

[joshuapadla]

How's the cpu usage within a DAW? NAM is quite the cpu hog.

You made a lot of progress since your beginning. Subscribed

Looks like software worth checking out. Can NAM "Speaker" IRs be loaded into Modelers like the HX Stomp, and do they work essentially like the Speaker "Block?"

[MrBeen]

I get it is better than NAM but Tonocracy wouldn't still be better than this ?
