All user reviews of 5/5 for the Native Instruments Guitar Rig 1

I'm a drummer. I'm originally from Brazil. I play in a band called Glint.

This was a recommendation from my brother whose a guitar player. I purchased this software a couple of years ago and I've being surprised with how much you can do with it since. This piece of software simulates various amps, microphones and effects, including distortion, reverb, modulation and equalization. It simulates so perfectly that it will make you sound like a couple grand, literally, reproducing famous microphones like Shure and Neumann and amps like Fender and Marshall. I've recorded not only guitars through it, you can do a lot with drums and vocal tracks as well.
You will find this software in the market for a price of $99, not including the control pedal or interface (both parts of the guitar rig pro package).

I would say the great advantage of owning this software is the ability of getting the sound of your guitar or bass through all these well known brands of amps, mics and effects without having to owning them. It probably it would cost you a few grand to have a real version of every single one. Besides that, all the customization you can do with it, gives you great ways to achieve the sound you are looking for.

These are the requirements for this products: Windows® XP (SP2, 32bit) / Vista® (32/64 Bit), Windows 7® (32/64 Bit), Pentium® or Athlon XP 1.4 GHz, 1 GB RAM and#8232;Mac OS® X 10.5 or higher, Intel® Core™ Duo 1.66 GHz, 1 GB RAM

For it's price, owning a copy of this software is a great buy. For guitar and bass players into the home studio music production.

Installation in both standalone VST or otherwise without problem, no errors Compatibility excellent!
Basic configuration and simplifies the extreme while remaining complte ...
I first BMD test, so no manual to be honnte, y 'are not needed.

It happened to me once in front of me to have a program as simple c'tait simulator electronic tuner. In other words, it's simple, if only you knew three words in English ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have a PC Pentium IV 2.6 GHz, 256 MB RAM, 80 GB HD, sound card Terratec DMX 6Fire 24/96.
Latency below 5 ms!
More stable than I spend 5 hours on it (we never tire of it!), And still works as well!

OVERALL OPINION

Three-day version dmo, now one week into the regular version.
Opportunities-NOR-MY !!!!!!!!!
I tried Amplitube before the program ... incomparable! Guitar Rig will rconcillier allergic to the computer with the computer music!
For the price was worth more than the coup, because the program y'en at least 20,000 Euros multiple gear and then it's sold with the pedals that allows any specially controlled l with a foot ...
I would do this choice? Vident!

No installation problems, at least for the demo version, found no incompatibility

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

With my "little" Athlon XP 1800 + I only use 16 to 25% of my proc, which is rather reasonable

My sound card is an Edirol UA-20, 6.35 2 input jack on the front, I have a setting that allows me to plug the guitar directly above without loss. I 17ms response time, in other words I play almost live.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few days, wanting to buy the Pod XT, I researched and I came across it almost by accident.
I also have the Yamaha DG stomp that never really satisfied and that the coup will be resold.

I installed the software and plugged in my guitar, 2 minutes after adjustment for any set I put the headphone and, big slap in the face, the sound is amazing, I've never had a tube amp but I ' I almost like to have right next to me and to finally have the sound I was looking for, I dig a little in the presets, Rock, Pop, Metal, funk, anything goes and every time a feeling perfection, warmth, you can feel the guitar vibrate, the sound with a big S has finally brought me.
As said above variations are limitless, and far more easily than with a POD or other multi-purpose simulator in the same genre.
There are still a bit of the great fault simulator in the same genre, a certain lack in the bass, especially for the metal base that wants a big sound, it will be difficult to obtain, but is then trafficked into the mix.

My final opinion is that we should not kid ourselves, it will never replace good old amp with settings handmade, good lighting, the real what, but for the person who wants to be a model of quality not too expensive I think it's rather successful.

between the Pod XT Guitar Rig and my choice is made, I take Guitar Rig!

Small addition to its use with Cubase, the software is not regarded as a virtual instrument in cubase but as a fact, one can of course use several multi-track guitar rig, and each maintains its own program. the whole is more flexible than without doing your part to scratch, you can edit your live sound, and I repeat, without having to redo everything, compared to an external modeling, the advantage is significant and the saving in time, even if replaying the same game can improve and find new ideas. However, it allows to correct small defects is meant not necessarily in the best sound and insert your guitar in the mix without having to redo everything.

Installation is no problem, simply follow the instructions.

No conflict. A bit CPU intensive even when ...

No need for manual, it is so easy to use!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Configuration:
-256 MB of RAM
-80 GB of disk, 2.6Ghz
-Realtek sound card, although I now use my sound card UMX-49

I use it on fl studio amp as Steinberg Virtual Guitarist, your exact FUCKING! For against my PC does not like (a train a lot) ... So I export pattern in the wave and I intgre as a component in my sample.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years. I need a good amp emulator and I gt!
NI GUITAR RIG IS THE BEST!

Tons of cool features to play around with. Lots of cool presets with awesome effects. I love the audio player built in. You can load a song, and jam along with it. You can even slow down the song and keep the pitch, so you can learn guitar parts very easily. You can also basically build your own Guitar Rig with lots of different effects, amps and cabs. Everything is tweakable too.

Price paid: $449 USD

Very easy to use. Just plug in and go!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Cleans sound great through the computer. Throught the computer Distortion is ok, but not as good as IK multimedia's Amplitube. I often overdub guitar with this program and it really thickens up the guitar sound. When you put the distortion through an amp however, it sounds like crap. Really thin and weak.

The rig control seems well built. Works fine. The program works fine too, except it is a MAJOR cpu hog. Watch out when you put the vst version in your channel.

OVERALL OPINION

It is a vital part of my studio. I use it alot for practicing at night, and for fattening up guitar parts. This program rocks!
