Tonex, BYOD, NAM
Over the past year or so I have been using these apps on an old Macbook Air from 2014 which really runs Tonex and NAM well even with a few VST effects before and after -- smooth sailing.
And over the past year I have downloaded 4500 Amps, amps and cabs and pedals in Tonex. Bought a few here and there, but honestly $20 – $50 for commercial patches for Tonex isn’t a factor for me, as I will never pay that kind of money for something I could find that I do not like only after I buy it. That’s happened twice now. No more wasted money. And besides, NAM just rocks and I can tweak any patch in NAM to sound as good or better than Tonex. NAM has a bright future in front of it.
And, in Tonex I have free patches that sound just as good, if not better, than the ones I bought. Sorry commercial vendors. Let alone and not to mention IK’s idea that 4 ODS captures are worth $49. Hah. No F’n way. $20 tops, and again, why take the chance? Given my experience with IK patches, I won't like it. Besides, there are guys on youtube that can make a les paul played through a tin can and string sound good, so you tube vids don't ever sell me. I could never make Amplitube Fender sound the way Greg Koch did.
To me, IK Tonex factory captures and patches mostly suck, so their ears at IK are not the same as mine.
Guitar ML in BYOD is good, but there are few captures and not up to the feel of Tonex and NAM.
NAM user Captures are also spotty, but there are some total gems on Tonehunt and FB and the best of the NAM captures are better than the best Tonex captures as to high end content and feeling and responding like a real amp. I love NAM on my Macbook.
What I am looking for is an AUV3 App for iPad OS that will load Nam Captures and IR’s I would pay for an app like that since I mostly now use my M2 iPad Pro which is a total beast of CPU power. You can run just about anything with LONG complex multi amp chains of effects and Tonex amps and IR’s in AUM and it is really hard to make it glitch.
Does anyone know of an App for iOS to load NAM captures?
BYOD loads Guitar ML captures and regular IR’s but I am looking to load NAM captures that I have or make. I really like BYOD for what it is already. If he added a NAM capture loading module to BYOD I would pay for it.

What is NAM?

Open-source amp modeling project
One does not exist yet.
What are the amp models you are wanting to use?
I am kind of interested if this NAM stuff is "better" than the THU rigs. There has to be some kind of ceiling when it comes to authenticity and dynamics of the amp that is captured, in relationship to the resources that are used (cpu power, battery drain of the Ipad, etc.).
And you have to keep in mind, the recorded guitar sound is pretty ugly and lo-fi when you isolate it from other instruments. A bit of reverb improves a lot when listening through headphones of monitor speakers.
I expect there will a large effect due to the skill of those doing the captures: levels on the amp and in the recorder, mic placement, etc. People have said that the Choptones rigs in THU are the best quality, others not so good. So quality will be less dependent on the system used (THU, Tonex, GuitarML, NAM, etc.), and more dependent on the people performing the capture.
