All user reviews of 4/5 for the Native Instruments Guitar Rig 2

Quick installation, no conflict.
Manuel clear, intuitive interface

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use Guitar Rig on a amd 64 4200 + Dual core with 2 gigs. It works perfectly.
I use guitar rig since its first version without any problems.

OVERALL OPINION

The sound seem a bit low and lacking in digital life and space. If you really want to make the most of this software, combine multiple amps on several different tracks. If you have the opportunity to work reamp is a real bomb!

I certainly would remake that choice.

I give him a 7 / 10 because the software ca disto shall mean but still a little work, there really is way to get something.

Installing Native Instruments Guitar Rig 2 was easy and was done without any problems. It is easy to install on either a PC or Mac systems, as I have done it on both. I haven't had any compatibility issues running it with both Logic and Cubase, as well as stand alone. I haven't had access to a manual so I don't if it would have helped me learn the program better or not.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I run Guitar Rig 2 with a Mac Book Pro that has 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I use this mostly as a stand alone program, but also use it a lot in Logic and used to use it Cubase SX 2.0 a lot. Except for a little latency sometimes, I have never had a problem using this in any of those situations. Running a few of these at once will undoubtedly make your computer run a bit slower, but when used in moderation I have never had a problem with it.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using Guitar Rig 2 for about two years, and I used Guitar Rig 1 for awhile before using this one. Overall, I think Guitar Rig 2 is a very useful program. The sounds range in quality as I think the delay and modulation effects are much better than the overdrive ones. I'm not a fan of digital distortion, and as good as Guitar Rig 2 is, it is no exception here. The price is somewhat reasonable as it is an extensive piece of software. It is more in depth than other guitar modeling programs like Amplitube, and is comparable to some of the other ones in its price range. You can get almost any type of guitar sound you can think of - overdrives, delays, reverbs, phasers, and everything else. The quality of the effects ranges, but overall Guitar Rig 2 is a great piece of software which plenty of practical applications.

It installed on my computer with no problems. I didn't have any issues with compatibility, because Sonar accepts VST as well as DX versions of plug-ins. Guitar Rig is very easy to set up, the installer doesn't take very long and you are walked through it every step of the way. The only thing that could be confusing is the serial key entering, which is a little different from most companies, but it's not really hard to handle. The manual is pretty detailed, so I think it's all good there.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have a custom built audio computer from Sweetwater which is about 6 months old, so it is a pretty top of the line system. Guitar Rig works very nicely on it. It doesn't use too processor power so you could definitely run a bunch of these if you wanted something like a wall of guitars effect, or just a lot of lead guitars playing at once. It seems to be very stable, it hasn't caused any problems that I remember.

OVERALL OPINION

I have had Guitar Rig 2 for years. I haven't gotten the upgrade to version 3 because honestly I think GR2 sounds great and I am perfectly satisfied with it, so I don't see the point in spending more money. You have a huge choice of different kinds of amps and amp heads, all kinds of different rack effects and stomp boxes, you can tune your guitar with it, and the samples of presets that they give you are killer. You can really pretty much create and guitar tone you could dream up with Guitar Rig, and then you'll find some in the presets that will blow your mind. It's true that it doesn't sound quite as good as a real amp, but it comes very close. In a dense mix, it would be very hard to tell the difference. I really like this plug-in and I think it's a great value. I would get it again.
