    Still curious: significant differences from Gigfast? Anyone?

    Does Gigfast come with any profiles? I don’t have Gigfast but Midi, and FX in Gigfast are some standout differences I’m seeing so far. I’m extremely happy with NAM XT….I’d be willing to try Gigfast but not at $29 and I never do subscriptions.

    Yes. Gigfast currently comes with 10 amp models and twice as many cabinet IRs as well as the ability to load NAM profiles and 3rd party cabs. I have most of the other amp SIMS but Gigfast has become the only one I use.

    Why do you prefer it over the others?

    GigFast Lite features parametric captures so that, for instance, turning the gain knob captures changing the gain knob on the captured app. NAM captures, by contrast are a capture of the amp at single setting of all knobs.

    So, parametric captures are like having lots of captures of the same amp rolled into one.

    @espiegel123 not too sure about what you say above, NAMxt has input gain dials and the loaded NAM profiles respond to how much the input signal is driven. This is very audible with nam compressors , nam tape profiles etc. These are not static NAM profiles

    As far as the Amp is concerned, what @espiegel123 is accurate. The input signal and other FX going into the static amp are independent and they alter what the Amp is processing before it gets to the amp. What @espiegel123 is saying is a parametric capture is like a bunch of single static NAM amp profiles captured at different knob settings of the amp itself.

    It's like a single layered vs. multi-layered drum sample. The single layer drum sample plays the same sample at a louder volume with higher velocities. A multi layer sampler chooses from multiple samples that were actually recorded with harder hits to produce sound closer to the original.

    @wim @espiegel123 ok I understand now

  • I had no idea Gigfast was that cool. Glad I bought it.

  • @ArteraDSP any timescale when you will fix the bugs in NAM XT ?

  • We just came back from 14 hour flight to our home. Fixes are done but needs to be tested.

    Really looking forward to that, I wanna do some genuin testing with it.

  • Let's get a TestFlight on it, I would be able to test on both MacOS 15.3 and iPadOS 18.3. I paid for it because I want it, and am willing to help test the fixes.


  • Hi there,
    Nam XT version 1.1 is available right now. We fixed a lot of stuff. Thanks for your patience and support. Details👇👇👇

    Responsive design fixes on resizing to the different aspect ratios on main plugin panel and dialog windows.
    Fixed ‘Successfully imported’ dialog on cancelled import operation.
    Fixed invisible file chooser bug where file chooser windows stays hidden on import operation.
    Added an alert when selected input mode (mono/stereo) and nam loader mode / operation is incompatible.
    Fixed a NaN value bug when calculating IR filter coefficients.
    Changed process spec initialization logic to fix sample rate related bugs when opening the app.
    Fixed preset and state recalls in Loopy Pro and AUM.
    Fixed mono-to-stereo signal path.
    Added -3db pan law.

  • Ah, finally, better late than never: :D

    BIG thanks! sounds great.

  • 😙👌
    Everything runs smoothly now.
    Hope you were able to show off a bit of v1.1 at Namm.

    I’ve got some suggestions for 1.2 though:
    1. I noticed I have to change nam Chanel output for every nam file from 0 to -6. Maybe you could look into that.
    2. I almost only use stereo inputs. Therefore I have to change all the panning to left and right etc every time. I think there should either be an a stereo switch or that the dual switch should automatically pan all four pan knobs.
    3. Alphabetical Imported file sorting would be a great time saver.

    That’s it for now. I’ve been playing with nam xt for some hours now since I updated. I love it! Thanks for the work!

  • So how do you switch from a stereo input to a mono one. It says I can’t use the stacked switch because it is a stereo input.

    Ok I will do that, no interface connected at the moment so it’ll be later… but I have a question… I have loopy pro routed in a way that I can record both the dry input and the wet signal. I like to take the dry input loop and put it through the effects and swap out different things to see how it sounds to try things out and to tweak it to the mix that I am making. So I wouldn’t be able to do that with this app using the stacked setting?

    I’ve never had a problem like this in any other app and I guess I never really considered it being in “stereo” since I recorded the loop from my interface that is a mono input. You’re saying that the app knows my mixer settings somehow? I’m confused as to how this is all working I apologize.

    It is a loop from a mono input on my interface, I don’t have a stereo setup. I tried to just add it in AUM with no input or anything and it said the same thing… my loopy pro templates are really complicated and probably pretty confusing without some explanation and way better organization. I can post a picture of my mixer but it’s gonna be weird maybe, but it works for everything else.

    So if I dropped this app on a mono input straight from the interface not routed to anything else on the mixer, it should work? Which for me isn’t ideal tbh, but I guess I would do it just to mess around.

  • @emc87 : all loops, even from a mono source are recorded as stereo with the same content in both channels.

    Ok that makes sense and I guess I never really thought about it. So when I’m doing this with these “dry” loops I’m actually putting it into these apps in stereo then? So I take it then that most of these apps support stereo input then? Including gigfast which I use a lot… so if I just put these effects straight onto my interface mono input, will it sound a lot different than what I have been doing? It sounds pretty nice I must say how I have been doing it. At least to me…

    So this app will not work in these modes if it detects anything other than a mono signal?

    Sorry stacked option for stereo input is not supported. You can use paralel processing / one NAM for each side for stereo channels.

    Thanks a lot.

    Perhaps, you could have an option to select the left or right channel input for those hosts that don't have true mono streams?

    Oh man, sorry about all the above posts, I was running on very VERY little sleep and this is gonna sound crazy but I slipped on ice yesterday at work and hit my head and blacked out for a little bit, not gonna say that was all of it but I think that was a factor, you clearly stated no stereo input yet and I kept going… anyways still very happy with it so far actually, jammed last night and it did what I needed it to with little cpu usage… looking forward to maybe be able to use the stacked feature eventually in this way but don’t get me wrong it is worth it, only dedicated NAM loader on iOS and it works well! I apologize for hijacking this thread with my ramblings.

    We are so sorry to hear that. I hope you are feeling better now 🙏 We have submitted a new update that removes this limitation but it will come with a high CPU usage cost for sure. Thanks for your support and patience.

    Is there a chance that some host apps (like AUM) split mono input signals into stereo before it goes into plugins? That of course would be problematic then if NAM XT always duplicates the nam to both L+R channels.

    I always prefer having only a single (mono) nam on my guitar. I’ll add stereo FX (delay/reverb) later in the chain for some widening.

  • Thanks for adding the 6db cut and changing pan Law. It definitely sounds better now.

    I have one question: why does the Ir section have a permanent reverb in it even when the file picker input field says “select Ir”?

    There should not be, our team will check this and will update you about that.
