Ola said you should have a good GPU to run the app, not the CPU. That's mostly the case. If you have already, check PC requirements for the app if your PC specs are suitable or under-performing.
I use my NAM with the free Kushview Element plugin. It allows you to create a signal chain with plugins with your audio interface just like you would a signal chain on your amp. Cabs, pedals, eq, splitters, whatever you need on a pedal board. Then, you can use that signal chain as one plugin in your DAW. Pretty sweet setup. And FREE!
@@stevenkambach There's not a lot of videos on the Kushview Element, and I'm sure it's capable of more than what I use it for, but just being able to use an infinite plugin signal chain as only one plugin on your DAW is awesome. The possibilities are endless.
I forgot I had come across Elements before. I was looking hard at Gig Performer since it appears to have the ability to integrate a scenes/snapshots feature. Does Element do this as well? Talking about turning plugins on/off on the chain within a Elements preset without having to switch to a different preset and simultaneously sending batches of midi CC or PC codes to specific plugins (e.g. to tun a effect off or change a preset in Amplitube)?
@Tiger1016. If I understand what you're asking, yes. I have several different amp plugins as well as echo, delay, compressors, and equalizers all in the same chain that I can turn on and off according to what sound I need.
@@Mick.Fitzmaurice The Scenes/Snapshots concept I am referring to is something you can find in an Axe Fx, Helix (both hardware and Native), and Quad Cortex. It basically allows you to select a scene number with your mouse (or programming a scene chance via a MIDI CC message) to switch to a different scene and a whole lot of changes can happen at once. Different items in the chain can turn on/off, different chain paths can be activated/deactivated, some of the parameters within a plugin might also be able to be adjusted (e.g. amp settings, reverb mix).
How do you put a chain together? There are NAM files for FX pedals, but how would that work when you can only select one amp and one cab? Can you chain instances of the NM plugin in your VST selection list?
Yes indeed you can't adjust profile like tube amp or amp in amp sim however is good to mention to play around with input knob in NAM, the lower the input the lower the gain so basically from high gain profile you can get some crunch. Of course that's not the same like adjusting gain knob on amp but at least something worth mentioning. Depends on profile it's always worth to try out 😉👍
@@stevenkambach Definitely worth playing about with, majority of my favorite clean sounds are from edge of break and slightly dirty profiles with the input dialled back, just remember and bump up the output so the signal isn't real quiet.
hey steven - i enjoyed the video and i'm excited to see what happens next with this project - just thought it'd be worth mentioning that in the first half of the vid the background music was too loud (or the voice too soft) for me
Interesting Topic and good Information. Thanks. (little constructive critique: Since I am not a native English speaker I find the background music a little distracting. Would be much easier if it was a bit quieter...))
thanks for the video, man. I had heard of this, yes.... but hadn't checked how it worked, yet. It's like the Napster of Amp & Cab emulations... hihihi..
Thank you for this, been looking into this and it makes alot of sense. I get the point of it but very buggy, like can only play Neural or a video but NOT both together, useful for guitar backtracks. Personally after trying all of these, a normal amp is by far the best way to go.
I used to have that problem with Reaper. Don't know what fixed it tbh. Sorry I'm no help! I bet it's a computer settings thing. I'd reach out in the NAM facebook group because I bet you are not the first to encounter this
Its so confusing. Whats an IR? Are there any presets when you load these amps? I downloaded a popular marshall one but it says master volume from 5-7, why would it only be from 5-7? its so confusing I just want to play
hello i have two questions, first is it possible to use an electro acoustic guitar with this app ? and second do we only need the jack cable to plug into the PC or do we need external hardware?
1. Yes, but it will sound like an acoustic going into an amp. If that's what you're going for, then awesome, but it probably won't sound like an electric guitar. 2. I would recommend a USB audio interface instead of using adapters to get into the computer. The interface is built for that, the inputs on a computer are not designed for a guitar signal. Can you do it? Yes, but not recommended
In this case, it is a capture of the cab, speaker, mic, and anything else after. If the NAM profiles doesn't have the cab on it (just the amp), then you pair it with a cab IR
i keep trying to apply profiles but they dont seem to do anything, i can hear my guitar through my headphones but theres no change in amp and the side bars dont move when theres sound
Sounds like your guitar isn't routed to the plugin. You'll have to make sure your interface is setup correctly in order to get signal to your software. Try with other plugins as well to try to rule individual elements out
Hi Steven, I were been seeing some Deep Learning Model like CNN etc which also can do the cabinet emulation, i want to konw where is the diffrent between NAM and theirs... And I were trying recur the open-source code which in github, and this "_detect_input_version" method is to restrict the input file form?
Hello! That is above my pay grade 😄 I am a basic user. I haven't even made a profile. I'd suggest going to the NAM facebook group with technical questions. The creator of NAM is very active there and there is more support there then you will find in the comment section. Good luck 👍
I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett Solo and for whatever reason, choosing the AMP .nam files changes nothing. It will add some weird interference but the actual tone doesn't change even if I adjust the EQ. I'm brand new to this and have no idea what I'm doing so anything helps.
The comment section is typically not good for tech support. My first guess is you have the direct out button pressed (or whatever it is called) on the interface. This puts out whatever you put in. Great for mics, not great for your guitar as you only hear the direct out of your guitar. You need to be live monitoring from the computer. Look up how to do that on your specific interface, daw, computer, etc
@@stevenkambach I read somewhere that the Solo has some issue with which input NAM can use. All I had to do was host NAM through Reaper and everything works fine now. This video set me up to get it working at all though. Appreciate it
Im not sure if this is a dumb question, im new to amp sims and audio interfaces but im not able to hear the effect of nam in real time while playing, its only when i play back my recording that i hear the sound change by the amp sim. How can i change this?
Sounds like you need to turn on live monitoring in your DAW. That should let you hear the armed track. Look up how to turn on live monitoring in your specific DAW and you should be good. Good luck
Hey Matt! Welcome. It is a slippy slope once you get started in the world of amp sims and NAM. I'll link my video about it, but I'd recommend getting a USB audio interface in between you guitar and PC. Guitar cable to interface, USB cable from interface to PC. ua-cam.com/video/dT10D-prjyM/v-deo.htmlsi=EDOH_xdTydXXRURz
@@stevenkambach one more quick question regarding the modeler. How do I know what model or IR to download? Like I wanna have a tone that is similar to Jerry Cantrell in Alice in Chains and some other people in mind. How do I know what to pick? Hope that makes sense
@MattShowalter most profiles are profiles of amps so you will need to find out what amps Jerry used if you want to be that specific. Some have made profiles based on tones. You just have to look around. Try some search terms on Tonehunt.org
@@stevenkambach How do you put them in a "row"? How do you set the order in that row? All I see is the ability to load a single plugin, nothing else...
@@gdevelek you would have to load up multiple instances of NAM on the same channel in the channel FX in a DAW. You can't do this in the standalone version
Check out Neuralampmodeler.com I have not actually done it. You basically run a certain wav file thru the rig and record it. You then upload the recording (or do it locally) and that generate the profile I think
@mrtuggama IR = Impulse Response. It is basically digital representation of a speaker, cab, mic part of the signal chain. I did an old video of how to connect a guitar to a computer: ua-cam.com/video/dT10D-prjyM/v-deo.htmlsi=bWMZ7jg5z20HjNDX

I have playlists of FREE and paid IRs that may help you. Usually, my go to are from AugustRose Audio or Robot Dog Cabs. Tons of free options as well. The demo for MIKKO2 will get you pretty far
@@stevenkambach okay yes got it! Thanks for the clarification. Also, there’s a lag when I’m using my ME25 as an audio interface and using NAM on my pc, any tips for that?
There are some implementations on some DSP hardware, like tonex. I saw it also on a raspberry. We just need one guy who is into the DSP world, to create a NAM pedal. I assume the hardware parts price would be below 50 bucks.
@@UltimateEngineering I’ve since seen a Mod Dwarf pedal/product that can store a particular type of NAM capture file. Surely this is the way it has to go with this. Doesn’t need to be like a tonex just a simple basic digital pedal for storing a few and minor tweaks. Leave the capturing and nitty gritty to home PCs
@@clintwhite3021 I got you, it still needs to be a DSP, maybe two knobs for switching captures, maybe display for showing the name of it and usb, bluetooth, whatever, for datatransfer. I think that would be like one programmer with DSP knowledge programming and testing for one month. Maybe we should do a petetion an collect money for a freelancer, who will do the job.
Not in the way I think you are suggesting. I think you would have go thru the process of making a new profile with whatever updates. It's not as simple as "save"
@@stevenkambach I see ok, thanks. I guess creating a new profile demands knowing about programming isn't it? That is out of my reach so I will just use existing ones. Thanks so much for aswering!
For some reason this didn’t sound great when I tried but I’m willing to try again! I was also wondering if there was any way to find tones for certain songs or am I better off actually doing research into what amps my favorite artists use? Thank you so much for the information!
Probably better off learning which gear they use. Some people has make band specific profiles, but it is not very common so you might not find the band you are looking for, but the gear the band used is probably up there on Tonehunt. If you are looking for specific tones for early Metallica, John Mayer, Van Halen, or Iron Maiden, the crew at Neutron Studios have made "producer packs" which are a bunch of NAM profiles that emulate the whole guitar signal chain on specific albums to get the most accurate album tones from NAM. I'd recommend checking them out if those happen to be one of the bands you are looking for 👍
Something that makes a huge difference is gain staging... I'm currently in the midst of finding this out - so apparently when you plug your guitar directly into your audio interface, you're supposed to turn on the instrument knob and then set the gain knob all the way to zero. I never knew this. And then you look up the maximum input level of your audio interfaces instrument input, and adjust the input to the NAM accordingly (my audio interface has a max input of 11,5 dBu so I did not adjust the input gain of the NAM at all, and it seems to sound good.) The problem with NAM is that you never know what input level the models are expecting, so it's a bit of triel and error
The latest attempt when using it with Mixcraft, it started and then SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I guess I can try it with something like Audacity but I don't see much point. I'm chalking this up to the Irig HDX being a piece of junk rather than anything to do with NAM. I thought it was going to be easy to use, but I guess I was wrong. Honestly, I find it easier to just hook up to a practice amp and plug in a pair of headphones.
If the person who made the profile wrote anything in the description, I copy/paste it into a text file and throw it into the folder. There really should be a standard on doing that. Maybe a form when they submit? I don't know.
I really don’t understand how to train and have watched many videos . There’s got to be an easy button ? I know how to search other people’s captures but that’s all
@@stevenkambach what s that supposed to mean, lol. The fx should be in the box. It doesn t have s/r also. This is very incomplete. At least kemper were smarter with the effects
@gibson2623 I understand. This is new, open source, and free. This is for profiling gear and you cannot profile most effects because they are time based. You have to model most fx. Can you profile a delay pedal with a Kemper? Technically still in the beta stage. Kempers are great too tho 👍
what do you recommend? I don't play guitar at all so all of this is foreign to me but I use ableton's stock amp plugin a lot for sound design and I wanted to branch out with more diverse sounds. @@stevenkambach
1. Neuralampmodeler.com 2. "PLAY" 3. Scroll down to "SNAPSHOT PLUGIN" 4. Select either "WINDOWNS INSTALLER" if you are using windows or "MACOS INSTALLER" if you are using a mac 5. Follow the install and setup instructions. 6. Scan and load it up in your DAW or use the standalone plugin.
I use an assisted listening device (as I am deaf) but your background music is waaaaaaaay too loud…I would have subscribed but this ruins your review info…pity about that
Dialog OR music. That is so fundamental to video production it is hard to imagine anyone still unaware. I really want to know what you have to say about the NAM. But listening to your video is unbearable. Please, please repost.
I won't repost, but you can find other videos. I have lowered the music for all videos after this one. I will keep the music though, I like it. If that is a deal breaker, then 👋

Also, there’s a lag when I’m using my ME25 as an audio interface and using NAM on my pc, any tips for that?
@nitinbhawnani drop the buffer size as much as possible. I think mine is at 64. Look up something along the lines of "how to reduce latency in my DAW"
@@stevenkambach I’ll try that, thank you!
TYSM, earned a subsrciber
Thank you ❤️
Has someone made a simple pedal with the basic EQ and gain, level that can store just 1 profile so you can use it live?
Not that I know of. That would be cool tho 😎
There are some implementations on some DSP hardware, like tonex. I saw it also on a raspberry. We just need one guy who is into the DSP world, to create a NAM pedal. I assume the hardware parts price would be below 50 bucks.
@@UltimateEngineering I’ve since seen a Mod Dwarf pedal/product that can store a particular type of NAM capture file. Surely this is the way it has to go with this. Doesn’t need to be like a tonex just a simple basic digital pedal for storing a few and minor tweaks. Leave the capturing and nitty gritty to home PCs
@@clintwhite3021 I got you, it still needs to be a DSP, maybe two knobs for switching captures, maybe display for showing the name of it and usb, bluetooth, whatever, for datatransfer. I think that would be like one programmer with DSP knowledge programming and testing for one month. Maybe we should do a petetion an collect money for a freelancer, who will do the job.
@@UltimateEngineering Ok thanks for the info. Could be a big demand.
can you modify and save your own profiles?
Not in the way I think you are suggesting. I think you would have go thru the process of making a new profile with whatever updates. It's not as simple as "save"
@@stevenkambach hi, thanks! so, if I modify an existing profile, am I allowed to save those modifications? Sorry I couldn't try it by miself.
@@mjaa1307 you are allowed to do whatever you want, but you can't just "save" a new profile. You'd have to make a whole new profile
@@stevenkambach I see ok, thanks. I guess creating a new profile demands knowing about programming isn't it? That is out of my reach so I will just use existing ones. Thanks so much for aswering!
i love open source! anarchy works
anyone can make this more UI friendly and it can still be open source, and i bet they will! great video
For some reason this didn’t sound great when I tried but I’m willing to try again! I was also wondering if there was any way to find tones for certain songs or am I better off actually doing research into what amps my favorite artists use? Thank you so much for the information!
Probably better off learning which gear they use. Some people has make band specific profiles, but it is not very common so you might not find the band you are looking for, but the gear the band used is probably up there on Tonehunt. If you are looking for specific tones for early Metallica, John Mayer, Van Halen, or Iron Maiden, the crew at Neutron Studios have made "producer packs" which are a bunch of NAM profiles that emulate the whole guitar signal chain on specific albums to get the most accurate album tones from NAM. I'd recommend checking them out if those happen to be one of the bands you are looking for 👍
Something that makes a huge difference is gain staging... I'm currently in the midst of finding this out - so apparently when you plug your guitar directly into your audio interface, you're supposed to turn on the instrument knob and then set the gain knob all the way to zero. I never knew this.
And then you look up the maximum input level of your audio interfaces instrument input, and adjust the input to the NAM accordingly (my audio interface has a max input of 11,5 dBu so I did not adjust the input gain of the NAM at all, and it seems to sound good.) The problem with NAM is that you never know what input level the models are expecting, so it's a bit of triel and error
It doesn't work with IK Multimedia's Irig HD X.
@@RobotShlomo strange. Do all other plugins work as they should?
@@stevenkambach I can't get any sound at all out of it.
Now it won't even start. I'm going to try re-installing it before finally calling it quits.
The latest attempt when using it with Mixcraft, it started and then SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I guess I can try it with something like Audacity but I don't see much point.
I'm chalking this up to the Irig HDX being a piece of junk rather than anything to do with NAM. I thought it was going to be easy to use, but I guess I was wrong. Honestly, I find it easier to just hook up to a practice amp and plug in a pair of headphones.
This sounds good but it truly is the worst nightmare model of option overload
You are absolutely correct 👍 and many of those options are not good 😆
You look like Steven Atkinson founder of N.A.M.
I'm Steve Atk from Temu 👍
wish i could find that nam

@@stevenkambach i want the actual sample you're using.

@@stevenkambach sweet.
If the person who made the profile wrote anything in the description, I copy/paste it into a text file and throw it into the folder. There really should be a standard on doing that. Maybe a form when they submit? I don't know.
That would be cool. There are a lot of things like that that would make the experience better. Looking forward to seeing where things go from here
I agree, such info should be included in the profile by default. Maybe someone can forward this request to the developer?
how do i get an ir?
There are several on Tonehunt.org or look through my Playlists to find a whole bunch of free IRs
Ur awesome
❤️
Thiz iz good for kids that cant afford purchase anything. Hey .. its free .. you cant complain too much 🤷♂️
Probably a bit too complicated for kids 🙏
I really don’t understand how to train and have watched many videos . There’s got to be an easy button ? I know how to search other people’s captures but that’s all
I have never done it so I am not much help. There should be instructions at neuralampmodeler.com
Yup I’ve read …watched instructions …crazy complicated “for me “….cool idea though ….sounds close to a real rig
@JonRayRunawayVealMusic I get that. Sorry I am no help
Ty
🙏
wait is this real? holy shit this is crazy
how have i not known this
Welcome 🙏
No FX?
Nope. Just amp profiles for now! Plenty of free FX plugins out there tho
@@stevenkambach what s that supposed to mean, lol. The fx should be in the box. It doesn t have s/r also. This is very incomplete. At least kemper were smarter with the effects
@gibson2623 I understand. This is new, open source, and free. This is for profiling gear and you cannot profile most effects because they are time based. You have to model most fx. Can you profile a delay pedal with a Kemper? Technically still in the beta stage. Kempers are great too tho 👍
@@stevenkambach the kemper has built in effects. And they are good. Take care mate. I know what you meant.
Dumb question probably…do you have to have a DAW to just play?
I believe there is a standalone version, but I have not tried it
weird they have 1k less IRs a month later on tonehunt
That is weird. I've always gotten my IRs From elsewhere tho.
what do you recommend? I don't play guitar at all so all of this is foreign to me but I use ableton's stock amp plugin a lot for sound design and I wanted to branch out with more diverse sounds. @@stevenkambach
you didn't explain where to get an ir from, you just loaded it
Tonehunt.org or Google it. IRs have been around for decades. NAM is within the past couple years
Theres no vst with the install you completly skip over where to find it ive looked everywhere
Neuralampmodeler.com should have everything for you. Downloads, instructions, all that.
@stevenkambach there was none I found out how to do it thank you
1. Neuralampmodeler.com
2. "PLAY"
3. Scroll down to "SNAPSHOT PLUGIN"
4. Select either "WINDOWNS INSTALLER" if you are using windows or "MACOS INSTALLER" if you are using a mac
5. Follow the install and setup instructions.
6. Scan and load it up in your DAW or use the standalone plugin.
I use an assisted listening device (as I am deaf) but your background music is waaaaaaaay too loud…I would have subscribed but this ruins your review info…pity about that
Lol I turned it down in videos since then. Feel free to stay unsubscribed tho 😄
reaper is no longer free :(
Free unlimited trial. Every time it loads you click "still evaluating" after the countdown
Dialog OR music. That is so fundamental to video production it is hard to imagine anyone still unaware. I really want to know what you have to say about the NAM. But listening to your video is unbearable. Please, please repost.
I won't repost, but you can find other videos. I have lowered the music for all videos after this one. I will keep the music though, I like it. If that is a deal breaker, then 👋
It doesn't work
Sorry 🙏
No effin way
You're a godsend sometimes fr
Yes effin way 👏
I got you ❤️
the music in the background is super annoying
Sorry 🙏

Not a virus but you do you
Could you speak a little faster? 🙄
Yes 👍
Just put the fries in the bag lil bro
Dude take a breath! Slow tf down.
I'm good 👍
Great vid but SPEAK SLOWER!
The music is higher than your voice. Thumb down
Oh no! So sad.
