"Yeah right, gimme some tubes and turn off that @!!$#?!# !!"
That's approximately what I was saying each time :D ..Except 2 hours ago..
The story starts with a big rush. The band I've made a session with had to send the demo to their record label, and time was so short. When they called me, all I had was my guitar and a jack, this was impossible to run back to my studio and record the parts in the right timing.
I felt what they were going to propose me, and they felt I was going to b***h about it ..GuitarRig :D
There was no choice anyway, so I plugged my guitar and went for it. What I can say is that I have been surprised by the sound. This can be a nice tool for some occasions. Here is the link :
NB : forgive the "singer" at the end of this sample. This is the keyboard player making the vocal parts in order to give the main idea on the demo :D
Nice playing too !!!
Yeah I've noticed when you play through guitar rig or some line 6 stuff it doesn't feel quite right but when you listen back to it, it sounds good,
I think this is where the axe fx excells because it seems to respond like a real amp/amps when your actually playing. I'm not knocking Guitar rig or line 6 I've had some great results with both.
This is a fun emulator indeed, I still use it for quick recordings when an idea is popping up. But besides this, this will never replace the real thing of course, and it is very soulless..I mean, here it removes all this exciting thing to play the mad scientist in your "lab studio", connecting gear, finding new ways, touching buttons and so on..Here you just click!
Nice playing. In the context of a mix it would be hard to tell what gear you were using. Guitar Rig does have some great sounds. The trick is getting it to feel right while you're playing it.
