Native Instruments Guitar Combos

Note that this test applies only to the AC Box Combo, having bought that the other two n'tant not fit my style of music and I was much less charms.

For installation on Mac OS X Tiger, no worries individuals.
At the end of the installation folder in Applications cre opens automatically. Simply connect to the net, then open the mini-application Registration and to be guided. See you then the site of Native to register and get the code dverouillage.
Too bad the site is as Native slow, even with a large 8 GB ADSL connection!
And then, well, it's still a bit tedious, but we will not blame them either to secure their software ... And then it takes 10-15 minutes to break everything.
Be left on the site NI, as well take advantage Tlcharger to the PDF manual in French. It is brief, but clear.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

No problem configuration level. On a 2x2 Ghz G5 with OS X Tiger and Logic Pro 7.1, with a latency 3ms rule, while Roulle impeccable. Super stable.
AU Manager recognizes the plug without flinching.
Good at the same time, with a G5 would be a bit of luck that there are problems at perf ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 hours in version complte, for 2 weeks in demo version (which is the same in fact).
Its level is much less head that made Guitar Rig tweak and adjust. It's simple, clear and concise. And the quality is terrible, a bit above I found Guitar Rig.

A handy feature in Stand Alone is a loop that can run (several styles available in the menu bar) and costs presets during playback. You can change the rglages, save in passing, etc ... It helps to know what a particular button an influence. I had never seen until the present. Had to think.

The rglages are not many, an assignable control surface in Logic, and can honestly s'clater. For compounds Pop-rock, the Ac plug Box is ESSENTIAL!

The installation and super simple, single-line registration is a little long (15min) but well ...

For configuration no problem, you just need to choose the type of driver, from the sound card and HOP ...

The manual is provided franais but it does not tural useful if it is to understand how to configure the plugin for midi CONTRL

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Athlon XP3000 + on, 1GB of RAM, Windows XP, and a sound card luna, u I have no latency issues or configuration.

Operation is super simple, you plug it and play. DIFFERENT rglages the amps are at the door of all, no problems for which has already reached an amp Hardware.

one can easily start or stop each effect by clicking on a LED

The only catch is that you can not grasp the value keypad to adjust the knob but I quibble ...

Each amp can be used in "stand alone" (great for playing when you have no amp at home) or plug-in sequencer.

Note a function to read a sample loop in order to adjust the sound live (shame list not customizable loops de noite ...)

OVERALL OPINION

This is a great software for cheap, which has three amp each with its own timbre. The sounds are good but the only thing I regret is that I think rverb average and too Submitted in the preset but once this is removed, c but happiness ...

My preferences in order "AC Box" "Twang" the "Plexi"

I could not compare to Guitar Rig because I've never try then notice those who have the possibility: p

Ras-install
-No conflict ...
-A is configured as an amplifier, efficient and attractive interface, click presets door super convenient!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- P3P800 PIV 2.3GHz 1.5G RAM 300 Giga HD space (40 G for Systm)
- I use it as VST plug-in with Cubase SX 2, in real time with a minimum latency between 3.5 and 23 ms, which n'handicape not the game
- Trs stable.
- Sound is envotant, ACcombo, Plexi and twang,
- I do not feel like they are CPU-intensive these great amps, I can run several at 96khz, each with a PSP Vintage Warmer insert (mono), and some other plugs "magic" on the edge Master. Amazing!

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for 3 weeks
- I love the quality and crdibilit sound, in a tense and vintage trs register!
Also provided are the pRSET beautiful dmonstration the potential of these amps.
- It's my prfr with AmpliTube polyvlence for his and for his Warp distos.
- Good quality price, sr was still expensive for the software, but its high quality makes a successful investment.

Not too much problem.
The use Standalone is a huge advantage over all the VST plugins that may exist. It can play live with just one application running, no need to Cubase, Audition or other soft greedy and long load.
The only difficulty in the RSID SETTING THE sound card to find the right compromise between latency and sound quality.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The PC is not a big problem as there is a minimum of RAM (512MB). The sound card intgre the motherboard is prohibited. Treat yourself to an ASIO card, there is the affordable, and the gain is standard (near-zero latency)

OVERALL OPINION

I no longer use that has since I've Discoveries! The guitar plugs directly into the PC (via a pramp-bypass and the sound is simply stunning: a real guitar sound with fat saturation and progressive of the big clean almost saturated. The sound of Queen is falling! My amp hardware begins to rust ...
