I wish there was a simple way to save an effects preset (normally simply called a preset) in the stand-alone and the VST. As it is now, I don't think there is a way to save a effects preset in the VST version... is this because I'm running the demo?

After initial wow factor from cool new look I too am disappointed. In my opinion 3.0 not as intuitive as previous version. The program crashes every time I try to load an mp4 file. Takes a while to load a song and then there is lag time in the audio. I constantly need to go to folder to find songs. I didn't have these issues with previous version. I will be going back to previous version and wait for a fix to 3.0 from VOX...hopefully??

Finally i have tested JamVox III at my Notebook:
CONS
- Pops & Clicks when wifi card is being used. ( performance bar does not solve the problem, only deactivating wifi connection does the trick as a workaround )
- Poor Quality at video recording.
- No Mixer.
- Can not record guitar only ( without a song loaded ).
- Can not record from mic only.
- Drums play/stop ...just awful.
- more complex GUI, things are not so accesible.
- Loading a song...it takes too much time, just rendering the wave form...
- Library administration ? May i go up and down through folders everytime ? 1.52 version library administration was so easy in comparation to this new one.
- Full screen ?? I see stomp boxes cut...can not resize ?
- Crash when importing from iTunes.
- All libraries where lost.

PROS
- Recording via USB goes ok using 1.52 driver ( must upgrade FROM 1.52 ) , this is not a "pro", cause it worked really well at 1.52

(*) If you upgrade from 2.0.1 then same problem with processed audio not comming throug USB driver...

So, seeing pros and cons I really consider staying at 1.52....forever, or until III gets a wash up.

I would not pay 99$ for this....neither 49$

The guitar sound wouldn't even register on JamVox, but I did unplug, then plug back in the USB, and it worked......

I too am a bit miffed about not being able to just press "RECORD" and have at it......I love the concept of the JamVox, and up until I loaded v3.0, I'd thought they were really dialing it in......I wish I woulda read this BB before I upgraded.....

I'm completely ticked off also, and joining the "will not purchase vox or korg" group.....

I wasted too much time making v1.52 slightly useable, and thought this v3 may be a fix, but turned out to be NOT AN UPDATE, but an instant DELETE tool of all my work for several years.

I AM PISSED OFF!!

Vox put v3 up with no warnings as to the damage it will do to MY WORK EFFORTS with the earlier versions, which I can safely call a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROGRAM.

V3 looks like they stole a portion of AUDACITY, but no controls.

The image mapping is way off the mark, the little guitar icon for the riff player, you need to go 2/3 of the way past the drop down arrow for selecting a riff or it just turns the player on or off. The guitar icon is supposed to be the on/off button, that sucks, the dam buttons so tiny and close, you can't hardly pick what you want with all the miss-alignment.

I guess that goes along with the audio, I play an instrument, it's sound level is so low now, I can barely hear it, and it has a LAG of a fourth to a half second depending on what else may be loaded in the program even if it's not turned on.

That alone makes it totally UNUSABLE.

Music is reliant on timing, this delay is for drunks and dope addicts who can't tell when one note ends or the next note starts......

As for i-Tunes, no thanks, "I" never use anything with "i" starting it's name. Never will.

Smack-N-Toss has never been anything good. JamVox seems to be written by smack users (puns intended for GOOD REASONS).

Audacity is FREE, I can jam along with any song in REAL TIME on that, and not need to buy any additional equipment for my computer'S, yes I have many.

I have a ToneLab too, but I am getting tired of the sounds I configure at home and then go and set up on stage and they are no where near the same.

I Think I found one consistancy of Vox, and that is "InConsistancy".

I cannot find anything to recover to the way I had v1.52. I did however set up a restore point, but that won't help the way VOX implemented this v3 release.

Sorry guys, but your on the junk list now and forever because of the ongoing problems and lack of corrections.

The more you use it the more you like it. I eliminated my amp and jus play through the JamVox now. It does what it says.

Hey. Where'd all the complainers go from earlier in this thread? If they bailed, it's their loss. I am thankful for the continued support of JamVox software by VOX. The latest version 3.03 is great!! It took a while to get used to the new look, but overall I really like this. The driver works outside of JamVox and that is a big benefit too.
