guitar straight into your computer  Reply with quote  

Is there software out there so you can merley plug your guitar straight into your computer and have the software act as a multi effects with all of a baisc pedals settings pedal....because the pedal itself is software really to ain't it?

So, having a guitar would be all I would need to recorded layers of different sounding audio.....?

There are several such plug-ins. One is Revalver by alien connection, also Izotope makes a distortion plug-in called trash, which is pretty versatile. Most of the plug ins have an auto wah or BPM wah setting built in. Flangers, chorus, and reverb are pretty standard effects found in most editing programs so that part should be covered.

Another plug-in is IK Multimedia's Amplitube..

No need for any Pre-amp just plug in your guitar, select your settings and go....cracking sound

It comes with loads of presets from mellow blues to rocking metallica metal....

Go get it mate, its the best buy by far..

Try WARP VST. It contains three modelled Hughes&Kettner amps. My favourite actually.

GR and Rock amp  Reply with quote  

Yeah, another one is Guitar Rig..

But my personal favourite is Rock Amp Legends - amazing sound.

These plugins work well even on changing the sound of pads, strings or synths.. Sometimes people have a terrible taste at patch selection that can screw the mix Neutral

Yes!
You could get your hands on Native Instrument's Guitar Rig 2.0
This comes with a foot pedal with assignable switches. The foot pedal's called kontrol or something like that....can't really recall now. But it also acts as a DI for the guitar.
Having seen Guitar Rig 2.0 in action i would say it's quite a comprhensive package. It offers loads of options to the user. You would be able to select cabinets types, mics, mic positions etc. But.....this only drawback i found was the distortion patches on it aren't great. They're good but it could have been made better.
You could also have a look at IK Multimedia's Amplitube. It has a reasonable collection of tones which sound quite authentic and a decent amount of pre sets to help you get your bearings and then start customising the sound to your needs.
The other guitar simulation software you could check out is Waves GTR 2.0. I really liked the sounds that i heard on a demo.
So like you can see, there are loads of these guitar/amp sims available in the market. You have to decide which one fits you the best (both in terms of sound and budget)
Hope you find what you are looking for.
Cheers!
