Re Amp sim in AA3.0 is it by izotope ?

 If its not covered by the NDA ( gotta love corporate bullshit that slows down product evolution ) could someone pls tell me if the new amp sim in AA3.0 is made by izotope, i am guessing yes as they already have a deal with izotope .

Thanks

The chances are that if iZotope had a hand in it, that fact would be in the press release - if you see what I mean...

The main purpose of an NDA is to slow down product evolution in its competitors - and since Audition is often an innovative product from that POV, this is significant.

 Yes, i well understand the reasoning I am just having an anarchic day at the races. By slowing down the response time of the competition it slows down the evolution and, well, you we all get the gist

 But thanks for answering my q, its a shame because iZotope's trash is very very good.

I guess I too quickly evaluated their amp simulators, I didn't think they sounded good at all

I just quickly tried the Audition guitar suite in conjunction with Suburban Guitarist, and got some interesting results just flipping around the presets.  The immediate free competitor would appear to be "Freeamp 2" VST amp/cabinet sim,  which has loads of great presets and a very sexy graphic interface.

BTW - try VSTi pianos and the like through such amp simulators - you don't have to start with a guitar.

I've managed to simplify my life by avoiding VSTi stuff so far, but now that I've got a VSTi-frendy application, I'm ready to explore.  I know it's a huge question, but for making and recording music and mixing, what VSTi stuff do you really like and use a lot?

Oh, geez - sorry.  That thread has already started here:
