Two questions pop to mind:

1. Will this update give us a stand alone editor, or do we still need to open a session in PT?

2. Will the update increase the number of rigs we can save? With more amps and cabs to use, I think a few more rig spacs would be nive. I also wonder if the preset rigs will be changed by the update. If so, I need to save some of my favorites before March 22.

Not to sound ungrateful, but I also would love to see the stand alone editor.......i know it might be unrealistic, but I would love to see it work with other DAWs as well.i love the 11r, but not pt.

Either Chris or the Chimp over on the DUC forums said that there is NO stand alone GUI coming out for the 11R yet! But they did say something to the effect that they are working on it....hopefully for the next future update

.

In that case patience is a virtue (and in short supply)... I will impatiently wait for the March update, and then wait impatiently for the next update after that to hopefully get the stand alone editor.

you can already test the stereo delay and the para eq in Pro Tools as they already exist as plug-ins. It gives you a great idea of how it will sound !

1. I'm so happy to be involved with a product where the company actually seeks input from the users and forum communities. You can't keep everyone happy, but it's good that they show they actually listen.

2. That's fantastic news re: stand alone GUI. It's good to know it's not completely off the table. That's probably my own top of wish list. My DAW of choice is Reaper, so that would be cool.

3. I'm feeling a bit silly about asking this, but what/where is DUC forums?

4. I'm super happy about having a bass amp thrown in there because I record a lot.

5. What is the "new heavy amp"? I can't wait ... I'm a high gain slut.

6. Good going Avid. Great news all around.

JackoMBA,

Here are the new amp sims:

Blue Line Bass (based on the 1969 Ampeg SVT* head)
J45 (based on the 1965 Marshall JTM45* head)
Black SR (based on the 1965 Fender Super Reverb* combo amp)
MS-30 (based on the 1993 Matchless D/C-30* combo amp)
Plexiglas Vari (based on the 1967 Marshall Super Lead "Plexi"* head with Variac modification)
Plexiglas 50W (based on the 1968 Marshall Super Lead 50W* head)
RB-01b (based on the Bogner Ecstasy 101B* head)
Custom Modern Clean Amp
Custom Modern Super Overdrive
Custom Modern 800
Custom Vintage Clean
Custom Vintage Overdrive
Custom Bass

The new heavy amp is probably the Bogner Ecstacy.

I think Chris Townsend also said there's a new custom model with a very tight low end aimed at heavy players and seven string guys (I think that's the custom modern super overdrive)

I can't wait until March 22nd... I think my head just might explode before then...
