  • Nice for gear sluts

    - And their pimps.

    I'd known about guitar rig for a while but browsing the NI website just now I found out just how versatile their Rig Kontroll thing was:

    I'm not a particular fan of DSP - I like clean... to me the DSP always robs the sound of expression. Having said that, I've heard a lot of sounds from this and it's ilk that have impressed me - it's just not for me that's all.

    I won't be buying a Rig Kontroll though, the next new toy is a MIDI/WIDI control surface which I ordered for myself for my birthday (that was the justification . It came the next day but the couriers had plied their trade literally and there was what felt like a kilo of metal rods scraping about inside.

    So I'm still waiting for the replacement.

    It was one of these :

    I played in a band with a guy that had GuitarRig running on a PowerBook, with the foot controller and all. He also had a Line 6 Variaxe and a floor Pod thing.

    He played the whole thing through a nice powered JBL PA cab, with a 15 and a horn.

    He got good tones, but he always sounded in the background.. and sort of blurry and diffuse. No matter how loud he was, I couldn't hear what he was playing.

    I'm guessing the transients and headroom just aren't there.

    I use some DSP amp modelers, both software and hardware when recording, and for that they work great.
    It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure. — Albert Einstein
