Voxengo Boogex

Posted by tom2tec on

Applications

  • Real-time guitar processing
  • Speaker cabinet simulation
  • Stereo convolution processing
  • Guitar reverb effect

Boogex is a free guitar amplifier AudioUnit, AAX, and VST plugin with a variety of sound shaping features, for professional sound and music production applications.  With Boogex it is possible to get a heavy distorted sound as well as slight “jazzy” saturation sound.  Boogex is able to apply convolution with any speaker cabinet impulse response (selection of built-in impulses is available).  The processing latency is close to zero making it possible to use Boogex for real-time guitar processing.

Boogex can be used as a plain stereo convolution processor when its “Amp” stage is turned off.  The convolver module has zero latency and is not CPU-demanding.  Boogex also includes the input gate module, and reverberation module derived from Voxengo OldSkoolVerb reverb plugin.

Boogex produces a nice “minimalist” rock music-geared sound which may be a bit noisy at higher overdrive settings; higher frequencies can be easily suppressed with its built-in Emphasis EQ.  With the amp modes Boogex currently provides, it is not particularly well-suited for metal music, but can still be used as a cabinet impulse response processor for metal music.

RocksmithToTab ~ Convert Rocksmith To Guitar Pro

Posted by tom2tec on

Exports Rocksmith 2014 arrangements to Guitar Pro tabs (.gp5, .gpx). RocksmithToTab parses Rocksmith’s .psarc archives and converts any songs found within to tablature. All the Rocksmith techniques are supported and translated, and you get all of the chord diagrams and fingering hints that Rocksmith shows you. It’s a great way to figure out specific parts of a song, and Guitar Pro’s speed trainer is a very good alternative to the riff repeater. All arrangement types (bass, lead, rhythm) can be exported, either together in a single tab or into separate tabs.

Features:
  • Can export any installed Rocksmith 2014 songs, including on-disc content, dlc, import RS1 songs as well as custom dlcs.
  • Can export tabs to either .gp5 format (Guitar Pro 5/6/Mobile, TuxGuitar) or .gpx format (Guitar Pro 6).
  • All Rocksmith features are supported and exported, including legato techniques, bends, palm and fret-hand mutes and chord diagrams.
  • All available arrangements (lead, rhythm, bass) can be exported, either into the same tab file or into separate files.
  • For the most part, produces readable rhythm notation, although it may occasionally become a bit weird, particularly in fast solos.
