NAM: Neural Amp Modeler

Where can I find NAM captures made with this? Thanks
I've shared a couple pedal captures here:

But I think there are other out there, try to search "aliasing" on tone3000

Artera DSP celebrates its first anniversary.

For a limited time, GigFast Lite and NAM xT are 75% off — until the end of July.

Both apps run on iOS and macOS, with full AUv3 support for seamless integration into your mobile or desktop setup. Windows and VST compatibility is also coming soon.

Available now on the App Store.

Thank you!
 
Steve's diving into NAM as his full-time gig:

 
Just a quick bump/shoutout for how awesome the automatic level compensation is. I totally understand why some people don't really get why its helpful but here's an example that came up today.

Band I'm working with wants to reamp guitars. I'm making a NAM model of my Maxon OD820, but it's 18V and produces a really loud signal that easily clips my usual 11.4dBu input chain.

I've increased the headroom to 20.4dBu to capture it as a NAM model, and then I can use that model on my 11.4dBu input like normal, and the plugin just automatically corrects things for me, so its driving the model afterwards just as the real pedal would. To do this manually or with something like ToneX would be a massive faff and would lead me getting a different tone to what we're going for.

I can't wait for someone to make a NAM player that has this ability in it. I'll probably snag one if/when it happens
 
How well do the captures utilizing the Dry DI+amp recording work? Seems like a really easy way to make NAM captures on Tone3000

It depends on what the dry DI contains.

The super inputs that minimize aliasing use the wet-dry method, which produces the superior results.

The standard input file already has sine sweeps and a lot of varied playing/noise.
 
I’ve been retraining a load of old NAM models as xSTD models. Of the many things that are awesome about this (besides the improved accuracy, tone and feel) are:

- I can reuse the existing reamped files. I don’t have to recall settings and reamp everything one by one. I simply wouldn’t do it as the time involved would drive me nuts.

- I can upload these reamped files all to the cloud and they can train simultaneously, WAY faster than locally.

- Very easy to A/B the different training architecture against the standard one because the source files are the same

IMO it’s so much more robust of a way to catalog tones. I keep thinking that it would make sense for me to be making more ToneX packs (because honestly, they sell significantly more). But my real goal is making shit that sounds as accurate as possible and it’s just so much easier and more convenient to make NAM models. The QOL upgrades from Tone3000 have really made things so user friendly now, very excited to see them add support for Hyper Accuracy.
 
I’ve been using the TTSV10 provided since the TONE3000 wet-dry volume issue was fixed. I’ve also used xSTD architecture to sample my gear. I think it’s nice to have all of these tweaks, especially since my goal is to replicate my own gear the best I can.

I thought the recent exploration of loads in recent packs by @2dor were interesting. I was inspired to experiment with a speaker load vs a Suhr Reactive Load on my Vox AC15. It was enlightening to hear the difference through NAM.

Aliasing seems to be a topic that is too inconsequential for some, but I thought that it was neat to stack 3 NAM instances (2 pedals + amp) and see minimal aliasing through the TTS Spectrogram Generator. I’ve been getting a lot of mileage out of the tools that @DLC86 has provided.

I’ll probably upload these experiments to TONE3000 at some point.
