Members Anderton Posted August 11, 2011 Members Posted August 11, 2011 Just wondering...I hope to check it out soon, but wondered if any early adopters had opinions.
Members mnewb1 Posted August 13, 2011 Members Posted August 13, 2011 got GR4 and thinking about the upgrade, but since getting the 11R, I haven't really used the GR4 at all...
Members Anderton Posted August 13, 2011 Author Members Posted August 13, 2011 Eleven Rack is indeed very cool. But, for the kind of playing I do with lots of sequenced modulation and stuff, Guitar Rig occupies a unique place on my computer. It seems NI is turning it into more of a signal processor host. I got the Softube Vintage Compressors set for it, and they're really nice but obviously very studio-oriented. I bet if NI had to do it all over again, they'd just call it "Rack."
Members mnewb1 Posted August 13, 2011 Members Posted August 13, 2011 good point, as a burgeoning amateur home recorder, I have barely scratched the surface of its features...probably why I fit so much better with the 11R then I would with an Axe-Fx.
Members Anderton Posted August 13, 2011 Author Members Posted August 13, 2011 Sequenced modulation? Adrenalinn-type effects...using Guitar Rig's step sequencer or analog sequencer to vary parameters like filter frequency. This gives rhythmically-synched, sample-and-hold type effects.
Members mosiddiqi Posted August 14, 2011 Members Posted August 14, 2011 I really like the posted clips on the NI site of the two new higher gain amps...I understand that the download version of GR5 is available from September 1st, I will be getting it and will post my thoughts then..the new Control Room Pro feature looks pretty cool too. I've been using GR4 for a while now and love it..suits my purposes perfectly.
Members Lex.Luthier Posted September 1, 2011 Members Posted September 1, 2011 The demo is up on the NI website. Its the Guitar Rig 5 free player, you can switch it to demo mode which features all the components of GR5.
Members scuzzo Posted September 10, 2011 Members Posted September 10, 2011 ok starting to give GR5 a bit of a shake down.. so far very very impressed.. the gap is so narrow between the organic feel of analog and this new breed of sim amp.. thats its not even a factor mho... this package is daunting.. evey var is accounted for as far as i can tell.. but the thing that really sold me on 5 is the or impulse.. the mapping is amazing... try out the new vintage verbs... just astounding.. GR5 gets every color you try to apply to the note.. pick attack, amplitude. they even get the bloom and sag of an amp... there is just way way too much to do this thing a proper review.. but if this what 5 is wonder where they will be by the time they get to 7.. just amazing stuff... mho.
