  It would be great if someone had a version of this that not only showed the amps, but also the effects in all versions showing which version includes what. I have Bias FX Pro on my desktop and on my iPad and they have different features so it makes it really hard to create on the iPad and move the presets to the desktop without encountering dialogs that say you need a certain expansion etc. The Acoustic Sim is a prime example. You need the Acoustic Expansion on the desktop but it is included on the iPad. A chart would be nice to avoid these pitfalls.

  Why is there no manual to reference to ? Even a fully online one would be fine. The best I could find is https://help.positivegrid.com/hc/en-us/sections/200558975-Product-Information and it is not even fully synched with my (latest) version of Bias Amp 2 !?! Furthermore it is nearly impossible to find it from the site, the software presentation page or the "help center" search engine as the clue words send to the useless FAQ. There should be at least a direct link from the software's help to this, don't you think ? And maybe it should be updated a little more often, like when there's a software update.

  I noticed the Poly Octaver is not included. Are there any other differences to the current version?

  @colin said in Copy and Paste in Bias FX?: Some of the controls are really difficult to get an exact value set This part drives me up a wall - I had to set the controls to "linear" to make it more usable on a small touch screen with the rotary pots - but also the built in midi CC feature that keeps popping up when you are trying to make adjustments is a total JOKE On that there should just be a way to go into "midi cc mode" and then make those edits, not this if you hold it too long you switch tasks (from adjustment task to midi CC task) Midi controls on all platforms need a serious touching up and tweaking including "Bluetooth Midi Connection" built in like other audio apps (yonac, korg, quantiloop, garageband etc) I am too old and can barely see so please help out your senior users PG with visible values and sensible midi options universal on all platforms cheers

  @tafkad Thanks for the reply. At first I thought the LE might be the case. However, I heard back from support and they said they replicated my issue and that there is now an official bug report for it, to be worked by the R&D soon. Woohoo!

  After doing a bit more experimentation I discovered that the problem only happens when the Enhance is set to 10. If I set it to 9.9 or below, it works. So I am guessing it is not my PC.

  Play the rendered file lined up with the live file, flip the phase switch on one of them. It should 100% cancel out

  You probably need to open a support ticket - PG does not really respond all the time here on the forum and that just leaves users. Once activated it should run fine here is a screen shot of mine I just took while offline (Mac here but should be the same there): Contact support on this I'd recommend - best of luck too

  Hello Dany, i am not affiliated with PG. In fact, I am not happy with PG as of right now. I would like to unofficially answer your question. you probably cannot activate offline. I mean, PG needs to check so perhaps you can connect your pc for just a minute. It should not be too painful. Didn't you get online to download it?

  @pipelineaudio it doesn’t seem to allow me to export from bias amp 2 into Bias fx. It asks me to download jamup

  PG Celestion cabs vs the best 3rd party IR's

  I spent a lot of time comparing over the last week or so, and what I personally found was that the Celestion IRs apart from sounding 'boxy', also sound more 'digital', may not be the right word, but others that I use, mostly Ownhammer IRs help make BIAS sound more 'amp like' if you will, and just sound better to my ears. It's like if you compare BIAS products with various other amp sims, quite a number of them have this character or quality about them that sounds more amp like, more realistic. Don't get me wrong, BIAS sounds good, it sounds great, but not necessarily amp like as other amp sims do. I find that certain cab impulses can bring me closer to this sound, but not so with the Celestions and some others I have.

  They SHOULD trash the signal. I had some videos up a few years ago showing that cascading several distortion VSTs did NOT trash the signal, in fact the second and later pedals added ZERO distortion to the signal

  @pipelineaudio : I don't know that much about it. There might be a multiple-of-the-original-to-match-up thing like with video resolution. If this was analog it wouldn't be a discussion. More tape is always better.

  Another idea, the mic selection on the Celestion IR packs is not what I'd call wise choices all the way around. SM57 is a no brainer obviously, but the others are kind of filler in what I'd call a better overall selection, including a 414, M160, 4038, KM84, U47, U67, U87, etc. Try doing just 1 mic on the PG Celestions (I use 414 dead center for closest to "reference" quality tone from the available mics) and compare that to the IR packs. I know it's not apples to apples, but it helped me clear the air of multiple mic phase issues etc and cut to the chase. Once I did that, the PG Celestions compared favorably with the IR packs. I got tones I liked so much that 2 of my favorite 4 setups are PG Celestions. Hope this helps.

  @bwnunnally said in ToneCloud avatar: Within tone cloud, there is a search window at the top. To the right of that your profile image (avatar) would show. Clicking on the avatar opens profile from which one can change settings such as which avatar. Try clicking to the right of the search bar within tonecloud to see if you blindly open this dialog? All that happens when I do that is I see the tones I have uploaded. The only option is to logout when clicking the ellipsis. So I'm not sure where to find the option. This is using the PC Desktop version as a plugin.
