The first release would not convert my presets. IT kept hanging. This-second one worked fine for me. I have noticed that vst3 are taking more time to scan with the newest version of reaper.

 

That usually happens when there is an activation windows open where i need to insert a key or load a regfile somehow Reaper continue to scan and that windows pop up i think it is a bug as it hasn't done that on older versions.
Are you new to reaper?
As you usually have pretty good knowledge when it comes to computer Daw's and plugins.
Anyway in Users\Username\Appdata\Roaming\Reaper you find an inifile called "reaper-vstplugins64.ini" you can edit that inifile with Notepad++ or any other text editor.
So simply remove Amplitube 5 from the list (If you have lots of plugin just do a search) then hit save and open Reaper again and it will scan Amplitube again.
And if it is regged with R2R keygen you should be fine.

How i Solved this issue.
1. I just uninstall previous V.R version
2. Install R2R's
3. Activate it in Ableton Live
4. In reaper rescan (Or if you again get that message just try Prefs -> Plugins -> VST -> Re-scan -> Plugins which failed to scan

 

I found the trick when I receive this type of message in Reaper is to just leave the window running (don't click the Terminate button); eventually it will go away and from then on things will load normal. That being said; AmpliTube 5 will always load slower than AT 4 or AT 3.

 

Yes, the AT 4 presets are compatible with AT5.

 

another option: just ditch Amplitube and use Neural DSP

 

Experienced the same delay in loading the first time, but after waiting some time it worked fine. Now working as expected.

 

Usually wait a while the warning window disapears and works.

 

Or...STL Tones

 

I would definitely be using the Ampero over any software if it has the required sounds & performance.

I like the Will Putney SVT setup for processing recorded D.I. bass. If you have used the head they emulated, you know how close it is to the real unit. Having said that, nothing beats the sound of real tubes in a multi-stage high tension circuit.

 

Interesting, never heard of Ampero up until now. I did watch a video of a guy saying he sold his Kemper amp because of Neural DSP.

 

Or Mercuriall
Or Helix Native
Or Nembrini
Or Overloud TH-U
Even Waves PRS are good ampsims but not Waves GTR 3.5
As i said a millions time its the IR that is important it is 80% of the tone probably even more than that.

So if your ampsim has a built in cab turn that sucker off and choose a good IR instead
Then you can hardly tell all those ampsims apart.

As for "feel like a real amp" LOL people have said that since Guitar Rig 1 and Amplitube 1 wonder if Guitar Rig 1 & Amplitube 1 still "feels like a real amp" of course not

Then it was Revalver MKIII that felt like a real amp
(Hmm even the old Alien Connection Revalver version felt like a real amp and when they sold it to Peavey it must of course feel like an amp even mora as now a company that make real amps owns the software)
After that it was S-Gear, Overloud TH-3, Digidesign Eleven, Softube Amp Room and Samplitudes ampsim Vandal.

And they said that about hardware modellers like Vox Tonelab, Line 6 Pod 1 & 2, Boss GT 10 before ampsim plugins became popular so funny.

And the funny thing is some of those users that say Neural feel like a real amp today said the same thing about Amplitube v1 20 years ago and they did continue to say so with every new ampsim or hardware like AXE FX and Kemper hit the market.

And of course non of those old hardware or ampsim plugins like Amplitube 1 or Revalver MKIIi will feel like a real amp today as now it is the overhyped Neural that feels like a real amp.
But those old ampsims felt like a real amp years ago??
Or did they? as it seems every new fashíon plugin and hardware that comes out suddenly feel like a real amp and of course the ones that felt like a real amp yesterday now feels like a toy and has very digital sounds and artifacts or something similar
Yet yesterday it was the one who sounded so close to an amp you couldt tell the difference.



Wow those real amps must have change alot on how they FEEL lately or do people just IMAGINE it of course they do it is all placebo.

I bet 100000000000 dollar that noone could "feel" whiuch is which in a blindtest if i dieal in a similar tone on all popular ampsim and run them thrue the same instrument input on a good audio interface.

 

You'd be right, the tone is mostly about your IR but most plugins of that sort let you use your own IR so it's all in the workflow, features & fx of the plugin after you chose your IR. People like simplicity & usability out the box.

Most of the IR's that came with Neural DSP vs stuff like Overloud THU3 & Helix Native where the IR's don't wow you right off the bat so most people don't bother or don't know how to bother. I think tons of people are expecting a record ready tone which they weren't getting before, especially musicians who know nothing about any engineering or production aspect of recording.

Of course you can get other suites to sound the way you want to with your own Impulses though. The appeal really is the simplicity & speedy workflow which NeuralDSP offer.

 

If you are on Reaper 6.17 and over, they added the possibility to only re-scan plug-ins that have failed to scan. In preferences/vst, if you click the Re-scan button there should be a drop-down menu where the last option is "Plug-ins which failed to scan" that has yet another drop-down menu of all the plug-ins that have failed. Amplitube 5 should be in that menu for you so try clicking it and see if it helps! It has worked for me with a bunch of plug-ins and I'm really happy that they added this feature.
