The Song Fight Bulletin Board

I just bought Komplete 5. I may be some time... :)

I'll be curious to hear how the guitar rig sounds. Bass is generally easy to fake, but I haven't heard a fake guitar that sounds right, yet. But I like the looks of the screen shot for guitar rig. If it sounds as cool as it looks, I'll be impressed.

edit: Never mind, I just listened to the demo simulating a Les Paul through 2 4X12 cabs and what seems like a Marshall head, which they called a lead 800, which they cleverly leave out the name Marshall for legal reasons. I guess Gibson isn't quite as tight with the name Les Paul.
I'm impressed!

Are they using real guitar players and sampling actual chords and notes? Or are those all simulated computer sounds that you are programming one chord/note at a time? All the riffs in the demo sound really good.

I have no idea how they did their demo (I don't work for NI - wish I did!), but it'd make sense for them to use a real guitarist - they're gonna want to show their product off at it's most realistic, after all.

But I still think it's possible to do convincing fake guitars - in fact I like to tell myself that I've managed it myself on occasion :)

BTW: Komplete 5 is giving me eargasms.

Guitar Rig is an effects processor, not a VSTi. And it sounds more awesome than any hardware effects processor I've ever owned.

Every time I see this thread I read the title as "Like a kid in a sweatshop..."

Starfinger uses Guitar Rig for guitar and bass fx. Sounds great to me!

there are many promo videos of real guitarists playing through guitar rig. and yeah, komplete 5 is awesome, but they shouldn't have canned vokator!

Me too.
Those crazy Euro guys and their funny talk. Kid in a candy shop, rolls off the tongue much better.

Yeah, both that and Spektral Delay, I never did see the logic in just dropping them. Why not include them but just stop further development on them? It makes no sense to me.

Still, I think I've got enough fx to be going on with for a while now
