    This is such a great video, Jaaaaames! You take such a scientific approach that I love so much in your videos.
    I myself am a huge fan of live mode. I feel like they did this beautifully. It's extremely responsive, easy to setup, assign and switch. Pairing that with the standalone mode. It's so good for practicing!
    I also agree this is definitely their best toneforge there is. Which is exciting cause it can only get better, right? I think they are starting to listen to their audience more and taking note of the complains in other releases and actually doing something about it.
    Wishing nothing but the best to your channel, keep up the amazing content 💙

      Thanks so much man! It's far from scientific, but I do try to showcase it as much as I can. The live mode does seem wonderful for sure! I didn't cover this in the video, but how did like playing with TFJL? Does it response similarly to a real amp?
      And yeah I'm glad they listened to their users. Understanding users' needs and pain points is absolutely key to delivering a great user experience.

    i think the only thing i wished it had was a high cut and low cut. so you can do everything in one plugin.

    So far on the full mix part and it’s sounding great. Personally, I think the biggest downfall with JST Toneforge sims has been on the IR sections. Getting Jens in was a great move

    • @JamesZhan
      @JamesZhan  4 роки тому +1

      Yeah, agreed, which was why I said later in the video that I wish instead of the JST classic IRs, it came with a brand new batch.
