In fact, there have been major blowups in his Facebook groups over the last couple of years that have led to him being called out by a lot of people.and ultimately led to some of the biggest contributors in his community leaving and never coming back.Ĭreating presets doesn't seem to work on my end, no. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time, nor the first circumstance in which, I (and other users) have had issues with him, his tech support, or his social media team.
Joey develops some bada** plugins for sure, and he's super in-tune with what the extreme metal community in particular wants and needs. Is there no workaround like creating Cakewalk presets? I can't remember if that worked with the other plug-ins. I know for sure that they are motivated to squash this one. Maybe they can open communication channels with JST. Well, I trust that the devs have been alerted to its rearing its ugly head once again. His collaboration with Boz, Sidewidener, is my favorite stereoizer. I'm disappointed that Sturgis is being a *****. This issue has been a friggin' bugbear for the users and developers, and they were convinced they had nailed it in all its manifestations. TL DR: Cakewalk doesn't recall Toneforge parameters/state when a) reopening project or b) when copying plugin to another track, and causes odd plugin behavior with regard to the audio (audio sounds really weird.thin and brittle and almost 8-bit-ish) even after settings are readjusted. I've sent support tickets to both JST and Cakwalk, but if anyone has any thoughts, they'd be appreciated. (Having said that, I haven't used all of my plugins since the last update, so there's that.) I also have other, older amp sims (Peavey Revalver) that do not have this issue, and I haven't noticed it with any other plugins of mine at all. (Additional info: 64-bit W10 and I've confirmed I installed the 64-bit versions of the plugins.)Īlso important to note that I do have other JST plugins (Gain Reduction deluxe and JST Clip) and have not had the same issues. Also, it does this with both the VST2 and VST3 versions of Toneforge. So basically I just blew $50 on a plugin I can't really use.Īnybody had similar experiences with any plugins? I know that there were some random "plugin state recall" issues like this, particularly with VST3s, that were finally supposedly fixed recently. Sucks that I have to do that for every track, but whatever, right?Įxcept I then found that reopening the project does the same thing to all instances of Toneforge and I have to start all over. Okay, whatever.just insert a whole new instance of Toneforge and tweak to taste. even after fixing the parameters that were suddenly different. Tried copying an instance of Toneforge to another track.parameters were obliterated (didn't copy over), and audio sounds really weird.thin and brittle and almost 8-bit-ish. Was super excited about it started playing around with it and was thrilled. If you’re in the market for an amp sim that’s capable of some really heavy shit, check it out at the official JST store.Īdditionally, this month at Nail The Mix you can learn to mix the Jason Richardson song “Fragments” complete with the original multi-tracks, and enter your mix to win a prize pack that includes EVERY SINGLE JST PLUGIN (including the Jason Richardson one).So, I just bought the JST Toneforge Jason Richardson amp sim.
JST have the Toneforge Jason Richardson amp sim up for pre-order at a $20 discount right now. In this model, Joey created a custom equalizer optimized for tweaking a variety of guitar playing, and a unique dynamic processor designed to control down-tuned guitar low-end with finesse. Here’s the rundown from JST on a couple of unique features in the Toneforge Jason Richardson model: And if you can’t get THAT to sound good… I’m gonna go ahead and guess that it’s not JST’s fault.
So that’s basically a Joey/Jason/Taylor guitar tone collaboration that you will be able to plug into. Especially since this plugin is based on the sweet cleans and monolithically-heavy rhythm and lead tones from Jason’s solo album, ‘ I’, recorded with Taylor Larson. If the other Toneforge sims are anything to go by, this one is gonna crush. The guy lays down first-takes that you could set your watch to. This one is a signature model collaboration with inhuman-chug-machine/guitarist Jason Richardson (ex-All Shall Perish, ex-Born of Osiris, ex-Chelsea Grin). For those that don’t know, Jason is renowned for the heavy tones he pulls and how machine-tight his riffing is.
