Re: Guitar rig 2
I don't have #2, but I use the first one. You can kill a lot of the delay within the settings themselves, but the biggest thing is to turn the input echo on. It should be almost bang on. Aside from delays (which can be worked out with little to no hassle), Guitar Rig is absolutely amazing.

I was referring to latencey. Should have said that instead of delay.
Also, can you record in mp3 format and import to other recording software?

Re: Guitar rig 2
I've used the first guitar rig a couple of years ago, and I really liked the sounds that it made - very good amp models, but I had issues with latency that made it almost unplayable. If they've fixed those issues it would definately be somthing to check out.

I'll have to check the sound card I have when I get home but I know I have a decent one.

Re: Guitar rig 2
Is your card the Sound Blaster Live 5.1 by any chances?
That card has a different chip than the rest of the Live! series. Not even ASIO drivers save it, it has an awful latency.
To those using Guitar Rig or Guitar Rig 2: On the options, try changing the output device to the ASIO drivers, not the DirectSound drivers. Those give very very low latencies if your card supports them, much lower than what DirectSound drivers ever will.
Good luck!

Re: Guitar rig 2
I think I have a sound blaster 5.1. Again I'll have to check at home. I hope I don't the guitar rig 2 sounds really sweet and I'd like to get one.

Re: Guitar rig 2
Yeah, I think that's the one that I had . . . I remember that I tried screwing around with the options to get rid of the latency, but nothing I did worked. It would be good for reamping somthing that you recorded direct though, because it did sound very nice.

Re: Guitar rig 2
Just my 2cents but I never use a guitar plugin unless absolutely necessary. I've used both amplitude and guitar rig and sonically they just don't do much for me. I'd direct record with a POD, Boss GT series etc. before I'd ever use a plugin.

Re: Guitar rig 2
I've been looking at the POD's. How do you record with them through the usb or something else?
I'll have to check out the Boss stuff too. Thanks!

Re: Guitar rig 2
Amplitube is pretty limiting in my opinion, when compared to Guitar Rig. Like I said, I use Guitar Rig 1 for recording, and there is virtually no latency at all. Don't ask me what sound card I use, because all I know is that I plug into an M-Audio Firewire Solo, and away I go. If you check out my recordings on my myspace page, everything was done using Guitar Rig 1 and Reason, with Sonar as the recording platform.

Re: Guitar rig 2
I checked out your recordings; sounds really good with the guitar rig. I'm hoping to get to a store this weekend and check one out. You said you used Sonar to record with; i'm guessing the original guitar rig doesn't have the option to record?

Re: Guitar rig 2
To be honest, I'm not real sure because I don't have it as a stand-alone. I use Sonar to record, with Guitar Rig as a plugin basically. I'm not incredibly well versed in the home studio stuff, so I'm not much help there. I just know about the stuff I have, and how to use it. Sorry man. Glad you liked the stuff though. There's so much more to explore with Guitar Rig...it blows my mind every time I use it.

Re: Guitar rig 2
I have guitar rig 2, to be honest im not really happy with the quality of the sounds, they high gain sounds are noisy and synthetic sounding, clean sounds are pretty decent, i dunno its just like i spend ages tweaking it to sound good, think it sounds good then i plug into my real amp and instantly without tweaking get a much better sound that makes the guitar rig sound terrible, then i realise that i didnt make guitar rig sound all that good, i just made it sound a lot better, i suppose its just a rant about the high gain sounds.
