i use SX2 mainly as a vsti/vst vehicles. when using amplitube2 on the
mains insert i have found that the sound is much bigger, fatter and
generally better than when using it on a individual channel insert.
have any of you? i was showing this to one of the interns here
yesterday and he too was amazed at the difference.

Was the channel mono? I don't remember how N2 handled it but SX2 may not be
sending stereo to Amplitube when inserted on a channel.

I've never heard a plugin sound any different on a channel vs. the main bus
in N3/C4 - stereo works fine there as long as the source is stereo.

If you mono audio on a stereo track, you can get a mono input to some
plugins, which is solved by sending to a stereo effect instead.

There are some amp sim comps that simply pass the right channel and only
process the left, making it only possible to use a mono track. Don't know
about Amplitube.

Is it perhaps because the bistream rate of the file/individual
channel itself (probably 16 or 24, right?) is lower than that
of the SX mix buss? Could that be why it sounds different?

The mix buss processes at 32 bits.

Bit depth won't make an audible difference in this case.

It's more than likely a mono vs. stereo issue with Amplitube and how it
receives the input. I've run across this with other amp sims. There just
aren't any stereo guitars, so they assume mono on a track, whereas on an FX
channel (send) it might assume stereo - makes a big difference in how it
sounds.

The whole engine is 32-bit float, not just the mix buss. Some plugins
even process at 64 bit regardless of whether they are on a track, the main
buss, an FX channel or a group.

Regards,
Dedric

Call Applecare. They'll know how to fix it.

i'm still waiting for them to open up the mac. hopefully they will
today. i did run into a guy at the home show who just turned in his
mac for the same thing. my guess is that it's fairly common...at
least with this model. not surprising since i bought it.
