Dayeth Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Anyone have or have ever used any version of Guitar Rig before? I'm thinking about getting version 2 or 3 depending on cash, to record guitars at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesbroonbreed Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Guitar rig 1 was pretty decent. Probably just got better in more recent editions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayeth Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 As far as I can see they mainly just continue to add more and more amp models, effects etc etc with each version. I can get Guitar Rig 2 for a decent price with the bonus that you can easily just get the software upgrade if you need to, the floor pedal hardware doesn't look a whole lot different... its just black in version 3.

HairyScaryMark Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I have Guitar Rig 2.My verdict is.Distortions and amp models are ok but tendency to get either a bit muddy or excessively trebbly depending on how you use them. When you learn how to tweak the settings better it becomes less of an issue.The effects I generally do not rate that highly and tend not to use them in favour of other (many of which are legal free downloadable) effects.The reverb and chorus is generally beaten in quality by the ones that come free with my DAW or free downloads.It also eats up processing power in a big way, unlike any other VST plugin I have.It works with some guitars really well and others not so well.There is some stuff you can legally download for free such as, not tried any of it but it might be worth trying out.VoxengoTubeamp downloadStudio Devil Guitar Amp Plugin for VST, Audio Units, and ProTools RTAS!I downloaded a DS-1 model from somewhere which seemed pretty decent as a source of distortion but I haven't actually used it on guitar yet, just messing around with other things. Can send you it on MSN if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodThunder Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 If you have a decent preamp and a good guitar, guitar rig is magic. Takes a little time to tweak it to find the right settings for each sound you desire, but once you're there you need never look back.

Dayeth Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Actually got Guitar Rig 2 today, played about with it for an hour or so and am impressed. Just need to get the time to fiddle with it in detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayeth Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Been on the Native Instruments website at work scrolling through the user forums and stuff, can't wait to get home and try out some of the uploaded presets that people have made themselves, very cool and simple idea.
