Three Full unlocks for hands-on YouTube reviews

Hey everyone! I’m Samet, the developer of NAM A2 Recorder at Maya Apps. This is a promotional developer update, shared with moderator permission.

I posted here before launch. Since then, I’ve been working on making the app more useful as a guitar and bass practice rig. I wanted to show one workflow in particular:

I record one dry riff into the PRE looper, then change NAM captures while the exact same performance keeps playing.

One riff, different tones

The PRE looper records your dry input before the processing chain. While the phrase repeats, you can put your instrument down and manually change NAM captures, cabinet IRs, EQ or effects.

My usual workflow is:

1. Connect a compatible USB audio interface and load a NAM capture.
2. Select PRE and record a short guitar or bass phrase.
3. Let the loop play.
4. Change the capture, IR or tone settings and listen to the same performance through the new setup.

It’s particularly useful when you want both hands free to adjust the sound.

Captures can have different output levels, so start with your monitoring volume low when switching between them.

POST looping is also available: it records the processed sound for the usual looping and layering workflow.

Practice with drums or your own backing tracks

The practice section now includes:

• Rock, Funk and Shuffle drum grooves, with independent level control.
• Local backing-track playback for playing along with your own audio files.
• Tap Tempo for setting your practice tempo.
• WAV recording for keeping a performance or a tone idea.

Build your own NAM rig

You can load your own NAM captures and cabinet IRs. Full access includes:

• Two NAM slots, with serial or parallel routing and blend control.
• Presets and four Scenes for recalling different sounds.
• An advanced three-band input compressor.
• Delay, chorus, flanger, phaser and tremolo.
• Extended MIDI control and MIDI Learn.

There’s also a basic compressor, a chromatic tuner, six-band EQ, USB/Bluetooth MIDI support, and DSP load monitoring and protection.

As a bass player, I’ve also tried to make the bass workflow useful. For example, parallel routing lets you blend a cleaner branch with a more driven amp-style branch.

The Bass EQ uses 80 Hz · 250 Hz · 500 Hz · 1.5 kHz · 3 kHz · 5 kHz.

What you need

My reference setup is a Samsung Galaxy S23 + Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, mainly with bass.

You’ll need a compatible 64-bit ARM Android device running Android 8.1 or newer, a class-compliant USB audio interface, and your own NAM/IR files.

Audio processing and recordings stay on the device. Latency, stability and processing capacity depend on your phone, interface, captures and settings, so please test your own rig before purchasing.

There are free core features, a cumulative 60-minute Full trial with online verification, and an optional one-time Full unlock. Full can be active on up to two Android devices.

The video was recorded before some of the newer practice features.

If you try it, I’d love to hear your phone model, Android version, audio interface, latency mode, capture type, and what worked or didn’t.

Would you use the PRE looper mainly for choosing captures, adjusting your tone, or testing effects? Happy to explain the routing or help with setup here.

Three Full unlocks for hands-on YouTube reviews

I’m also offering three complimentary Full unlocks to people who would like to test NAM A2 Recorder with their own guitar or bass rig and publish a hands-on YouTube review.

If you’re interested, send me a Reddit DM with your YouTube channel, Android device, USB interface and a short idea of what you’d like to test. I’ll select three volunteers based on compatible hardware and a useful hands-on test plan, then confirm the arrangement privately.

Full access will be provided before testing. Your review is your own: honest criticism is welcome, and there is no requirement for a positive verdict, a Google Play rating or an upvote.

Please disclose in the video and description that the Full license was provided free of charge, and use YouTube’s paid-promotion disclosure.

The gift covers the app’s Full unlock; you’ll need your own hardware and NAM/IR files.

Impronta plays Neural Amp Modeler (.nam) and AIDA-X (.aidax) models as well as cabinet impulse responses (.wav)—without including its own models.

• SECOND – Three-stage footswitch: One Amp, Two Amps (two rigs, level-matched side by side), and Two Players (a virtual second guitarist who plays along with a slight delay and variable timing)
• TONE3000 – built-in browser for directly loading split NAM captures and IRs
• Library – import individual files or .zip packs, with search and favorites
• Gate – Off / Soft / Tight, responds to playing dynamics
• Spread – Stereo distribution of the two rigs from center to hard left/right
• Level Matching – Each capture is automatically volume-normalized upon loading, ensuring comparisons are based purely on tone
• Sample rate conversion with precise latency specification to the DAW
• Click-free bypass via crossfade

Impronta is primarily designed for guitarists who want to use their own or community-shared amp models in their DAW or standalone without needing a complete amp sim suite. It is also included as an amp section in the Elementi (Mac + iOS) multi-effect plugin by Caesura Effects.

AU, VST3, and Standalone for macOS.

I wanted to do a a blind test between 4 different tiers of metal amp sims and see if you really needed to spend a ton of money to get a great sound. I compared 4 amp sims ranging from free to $129. It is blind in the beginning but I reveal which is which at the end.

If you like this and you have ideas for other vids like this, let me know. I love doing stuff like this. I know I want to compare a bunch of different amp sims that are based on the same original amp (see which engl sim is the best, see which diezel sim is the best, I’m doing a 16 man bracket for 5150 sims).
