I just opened some sessions FROM LAST YEAR where I'd used the Ampltiube4 as a bass amp sim? Doesn't open that in Amplitude 5. Even Amplitube-I PRINT as audio nearly 100% of the time. But, here's the neg, and it's big-when they switched to 'custom Shop'-they f'd a LOT of backward session compatibility somehow for me.plugs started showing up as the right plug but with default st me a lot of time for some recalls, and I uninstalled most after. I DO think their oversampling Pultec is the most euphonic HF lift I've used for single rate sessions. Panned back-I think their analog emu stuff is always pretty good. But, also-it worked for the context and I spent a few minutes tweaking the sound, did a single take.and we were DONE. Sometiems I'm just lazy, but.I think the FUNCTION of a modeler is to give variety.so I could just buy the Hendrix for the one JTM45 they redid in HD.and use my own pedal board in front.and probably do a lot of what I do.a buddy wanted a solo on a tune a while back I ended up using an old Boogie in ClassA mode.I would some Mesa collection. Anyway-for me-it's a way to do sounds that aren't something I can get from my amps.

Less if you're upgrading because you bought an IO box or something. And I think it's only $499 vs $299 to not worry about whether you're missing stuff that's useful. I actually DO think you need Max even in saying that, because there are peripheral stuff.the Fulltec 80s Chorus I use on EPs even when not using it as an amp sim. Plus, I feel like they added the Pultec and SaturatorX in post (but those might've been there in 4?) which I just more leave on. Even antique models sound tangibly better with a more realistic mic/room/speaker in 5. The VIR speaker bit, which was as far as I know 'the upgrade'.did it have new models.upgrades ALL of them. Amplitude 5 was a UUUUUge.upgrade over 4, and do note if you haven't-I've been doing this a long time and find most upgrades to music software incremental to trivial and sometimes (in the case of multiple companies organ emualtions) WORSE than previous versions.
