I'm looking at IK essentials and total studio bundle 3 (musicians friend has it for $199). I have a baby so I simulate amps instead of micing. Which way should I go?

Just to preface this post, I'm a self-taught recordist of about 7 or 8 months, so I only know what I can learn from the internet (hence my presence on a forum lol). Also, I tried my best to find the answer to my question in other threads before posting this one, but I didn't see it, so if it's out there in this forum, I apologize for taking up space with a repeat.

Just looking for opinions on these 2 products.

Any insight would be appreciated.

is there any way to download extra presets for at2 online somewhere?

Does Anyone know when amplitube 2 comes out?

2 little questions about Amplitube and ALtiverb

Hi folks: Yesterday I was trying to install Altiverb and Amplitube on my MIX +/- System ( d24 + mix farm + DSP farm V2).

a) Maybe I am a moron but... will HTDM plugs run with a mix system at PT 5.1.1/OS 9.2?

b) My G4 800 QS has 512MB RAM. when I insert Altiverb, it says there is no enough memory!
