HELP: Amplitube Preset Browser is extremely lacking

[rwyler]

The preset browser has two major gaps that could be easily fixed enhancing the overall usability making it easier to quickly find the sound you're looking for.

1. The Amplitube Preset Browser is missing tags such as artist, song, album, or any custom tags from the "TAGS" selection area. The "TAGS" selection area should show ALL defined tags in the saved presets. The Preset Browser "Refresh" should index all the tags in all the presets and alow the ability to filter leveraging any tag specified within the presets. This is a MAJOR problem making it incredibly difficult to quickly browse through the various presets. Enabling this would allow for users to even use their own tags and be able to quickly find them.

2. The Preset Browser viewer ONLY displays the "NAME" of the Preset and no other tags associated with the preset. This is nearly useless because the user should be able to include additional tag columns to be displayed within the preset browser displaying for example "Artist" and "Album" like the view in "Tonenet". The user should be able to add/remove the tag columns to display within the preset browser. I understand that might be a significant effort to chance how that works. An Easy "in-between" solution could be to add an additional setting option to "display album and song tags in preset browser". As an interum until you update the ability for users to add/remove column tags which they would like to see in the preset browser, this would be a good in-between solution to at least show the same columns as shown in the "Tonenet" view. Without this similar named presets are hard to distiniguish between the two.

Both of these options are extremely critical to make amplitube much easier to navigate and use in 'real-world' scenarios in a studio setting or production scenario. The preset browser is incredibly difficult to use as it is today without these two options.

These two additional features is extremely critical especially during a production session where time is money, and client or other musicians are in the room which adds to the pressure to move quickly. Fumbling around switching between random presets can waste a lot of time and comes off amature. Setting up a new chain "in the momement" isn't desired either because the entire point of presets and tags is so that when "in the moment" a user can quickly flip between the various set tags on the presets and dial in quickly to the sound they want, at least a starting point.

Any update on how / if you can add or organize TAGS in Presets?

Amplitube dashboard only 6 Tags under "Sound Character" to choose from. There are other tags (i.e. Thin) that are already labelled in a preset (in the edit area). Why are these some tags not available under "Sound Character" tags in man dashboard? Seems that if a tag in the IK preset is different than the tags in "Sound Character" dashboard they are listed as "- Other" (one of the 6 tags available in main dashboard)? Why not the actual tag in the preset?

Adding / managing tags should be an easy and must have feature in Amplitube.

Hi IK Developers and Users, I love AmpliTube and ToneX, thank you. Please, improvement the Custom IR Window (USER IR's).

It is difficult navigate our IRs in there. If you do this, I will buy more from you and support you company for supporting a more efficient workflow for us.

1. Please give us the option to arrange the Custom IR window to show sub-windows for the types of IRs we upload, i.e. 1x10, 1x12, 2x10, 2x12, 4x10, 4x12, etc... just like your cabs.

2. Please allow us to put skins on the cabs and label the skins, too, i.e. to represent the size of cab (1x12, 4x12), brand of cab, cab model, and speaker inside. Just like your cabs.

3. Please allow us to adjust and save the HPF, Tilt, LPF, Size, Volume, Phase and Delay to the Individual IR (if simple) and to the Cab file (if complex).

4. Please allow us to add complex Cab files, i.e. multi captures of our IR's, so we can use the features of moving the Microphones around. Just like your cabs.

5. Please allow us to sell our Complex Cabs on your market place, too. I would love it if we can all make money off of our cabs, with you making a share, too. You deserve it for all of the great work you have done!

Thank you for your consideration

FYI, I capture several areas of the speaker and a specific distance mic measured for each cabinet type, and a room mic, all separate, probably almost the same as you do, so I would really like to use this feature. Your Cabinets are nice, but mine are mine, and I would like to use my cabinets, as you do not have many of my cabinets represented. Currently, I have to use a separate IR loader and this is a PITA. I want a one stop solution.

In addition, it would be GREAT if we could adjust and save the HPF, Tilt, LPF, Size, Volume and Delay to the Complex IK Cabs, too. Just being able to alter their size would be amazing for tonal variation.

If this is already an option, please correct me, it seems like it should be, but I can't seem to find where I would alter this on the cabs bundled with AmpliTube.
