 Re: Guitar Rig 2 vs Real, Expensive Recording Rig
Brandpn,
great job getting the site back up and running.
First things first-
I finally got my 5150 back from the shop and it sounds great, no gimmicks or special mods, just sounds brand new.
Now, I listened to all the recordings that you;ve made here. My favorites were the Real 5150 (#1), and The Rivera Knucklehead (#5).
As you may know, I have been recording direct for the last little while, using either my gnx3 or guitar rig/ amplitube/ impulses etc. While the sound of the digital modules are getting much better, they still lack a certain thickness and body that you get from a real tube amp. I think I was able to hear that too in your recording samples here.
I think I am going to do my own shootout with some of my equipment and let you guys be the judge. Here's the kicker, I will use impulses for everything. Even for the 5150, I will use only the preamp out direct into the fast track usb with an impulse.(its too late to crank up the amp anyway)!!
once again.
great job
