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

This is not really a detailed product but rather a general consensus opinion.

it has been many times that I see passing rather negative view of Guitar Rig 5 while personally I use it on almost all of my guitar tracks and I can get really good results (in my opinion it is always subjective ). All these reviews makes me feel disappointed that users were unable to use it effectively. So I decided to emit some recommendations to make the most of this plug interesting.

1. noise or other painful buzz.

Depending on the guitar (single coil pickup especially) may have noise. It is not related to guitar rig. This is the same problem with all plug guitars. This is mainly the guitar itself. I recommend trying the following:
- Move away from computer screens see éteindres during shooting,
- Turn with the guitar until you find an angle or there are more parasites,
- Set the input of the instrument proper way level
- Finally, consider using the noise gate very well.

2 The sound quality of the final

Always think that these plug simulate several elements chain: Effects, a preamp, a cabinet and a microphone with his placement. The sound you hear in the end is compared not with what comes out of a classical guitar amp but with that comes a recorder at the end of a recording session in the cabin.
For my part, given the acoustics of my home studio, I get better results with guitar rig when I record the guitar to amp output (I have yet a good amp and good microphones ).

For a good overall sound, it takes much work input levels of the guitar's sound card and input levels and output plugin. Depending on the settings can have get very good sounds like very bad. this is particularly evident for distos. These levels also vary often depending guitars themselves. So watching before each sound.
With a good setup, you can get a lot of headroom and even tubesque heat (yes).

We can also mix Harware and Software. It happens often enough to use a real effect and make it fit into the amp simulated guitar rig and it works fine pedal.

I invite users to look at how are made the factory presets and work slowly changing one then two settings to see the changes in the sound (or type of microphone placement for example).

3 Hidden effect settings

We do not think it necessarily but clicking on the triangle at the bottom right of the effects in the rack panel is opened with very substantial additional settings. We discover, for example, sync functions for some time to expand or stereo sound.

4. weaknesses yet?

Although with guitar rig 5 this point has been largely improved, one can find that on some clear sound simulation software is still lagging behind compared to real amps. This is probably true but the quality of the guitar pickups plays an important role in this type of sound even with a plugin.

5 Is this the best plugin for the guitar?

I do not know. I do not know all far from it. I think it's a plug in very full and powerful and it is much better than what is said in general. I invite disappointed to open new ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Operation without any concern.

OVERALL OPINION

It was imperative to raise the rating of this product.

The program works on any platform either Windows XP, Windows Seven or MAC OS , so compatibility issues isn't a real problem.

The manual included with the program is great , Native Instruments made a great book explaining the main functions and their use with the product.

The general configuration and setup is simple , I haven't had any problems with it , and it took me about 3 minutes to get it done.

The typical functions are easy to spot trough a great designed window that has a lot of presets on it.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software works good in this configuration , everything is well settled without any type of misunderstandings.

The gear and software is very stable and works quite smooth and great.

I'm getting very good performances in emulating a nice electric or bass guitar that isn't very far away from recording a live one.

I've been using Guitar Rig from Native Instruments for about one year.

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about it are the build in presets where you can choose from a certain style a different type of emulation directly linked to your music or your intentions.

I do like as well how big and powerful this amp is , you can get a very distinct and powerful type of sound , which is found only in some great amp out there.

The design and the low cpu resources needed to run this program is another factor which makes this product even better.

My opinion about value of price is great , this product is probably the most powerful and pro digital amp in the music world , so don't hesitate , this is the right deal if you're searching for something like that.

Precision and quality of the sound is 10/10 , without a doubt , very good program.

Knowing what I know , I would get this program right away.
