Hi all,

I just upgraded a couple of plugins, namely Guitar Rig 2 and Amp Farm 3 and wanted to share a couple of brief observations.


I am extremely impressed with Amp Farm 3, although I only used one or two settings last night but played for a couple hours. It has a definite amp feel and response, especially for bluesy tones, which is mainly what I've tried so far. This is a big improvement over previous versions. The downside of course is that it's a TDM plug, but for those of you who also use TDM systems, it's worth checking out.

I was much less impressed with guitar rig 2, which sounded sterile by comparison. It's still a nice plugin, but seems to excel more in the effects and mic placement aspects, rather than amp emulation IMO. I'll have to fool around with it more. I've used GR 1 quite a bit, but this didn't feel like a big sonic leap to me yet.

Cheers,

TC

Just seeing the mention of AmpFarm reminded of a recent comment that was
made on a Nashville song demo session ...
After the 5th or 6th take to get a track on a song, the players came back
into the control room and listened to the playback. After which the
songwriter commented, "I don't know, it's still missing something." The
bass player replied, "Just run the whole track through SincerityFarm, and
that should do the trick."

Hey TC, I am brand new to the forum but I believe I was the first in Wisconsin

w/ MEC? Steve

Hi Steve,

Sorry for the delayed response here..

Ampfarm 3 is for TDM ProTools only. I've not tried Guitar Rig with Paris, so I'm not sure, but I know Amplitube works with Paris, so guitar rig might.

Also, I think they are releasing a new version of Amplitube soon, so that might be worth checking out.

Cheers,

TC
