Cakewalk Guitar Rig -> Full Version $49.50 Upgrade

Is the free Guitar Rig player worth the download and using it in Sonar? I don't play guitar, but I would like to have some useful guitar sounds to go with Sonar. Peace

Yup, just upgraded. Can't pass on that price! Looking forward to playing with this one over the weekend :)

I was actually almost happy with 4 LE as it was giving me better results than my Marshall amp as I'm mainly doing clean sounds these days. But having a lot more clean sounds to choose from is exciting. Woot woot. Hopefully there will be some nice crunchy distortion too that don't sound so old school. I don't like that generic distortion sound. I want something with a bit more low growl and a slightly more sparse top end. More open sounding. I know what I like, now just got to try and find it... I don't hear it that often...

I just can't decide between GR5 or BFD Eco - both are currently $49.  I really can't afford to do both right now...
 

Well, one thing I noticed... the dynamics are better with GR. If you have a nice heavy preset, play with your volume knob and you will notice that AmpliTube does not have the dynamics Guitar Rig does at different places on the volume knob . Which is pretty big, because I usually play with the volume knob on 8.

I've been using guitar Rig and amplitude for years and find they both have their strengths. Wouldn't be without either of them. Just can't have enough virtual guitar doolickwys

Yeah I think they compliment each other very well. I plan on grabbing this upgrade while its cheap     

I wouldn't say LE is useless. If you have access to only one amp that is only okish, I think it provides some ok flexibility and very useable sounds.

I also don't give a damn about if it sounds accurate or not. No average listener will know about that. What really matters is DOES IT SOUND GOOD??? Good and accurate are two potentially VERY different things.

But ultimately for $50!?! Downloading now. 1 min left :D

Howdy,

Are you talking about the free GR5 player, like the Kontakt player, or r u talking about Guitar Rig LE, that comes with Sonar?

Besides, if I have any extra cash this month or next, its going to victims of the Colorado Batman Tragedy..  Cause I hate hearing stuff like that, and I've been way weepy over it...

Speaking of which, my donation when to this particular victim. Terrible story.. It's amazing seeing how much people are giving. It has gone up about $150,000 in the last 24 hours.

i use both GR and Amplitube..and both are mind blowing. the options and control guitarist have now is amazing..and cheap!! even the LE versions have some smoking features, that would have cost you a $1000 10 yrs ago.  i didnt want to believe it, cause i know what it took in the past to achieve a certain sound. and the truth of the matter...the software offers more tonal options, possibilities, and convenience than the hardware its modeled after. GR and Amplitube keeps getting better and better man..there is almost nowhere else for it to go.

That ECO sale includes the Rock Legends expansion kit from Platinum Samples, which is pretty good IMHO. Don't care especially much for the Rock Legends snare, which is tuned very, very low. But with the right EQ, the Rock Legends kick drum is my favourite among all the BFD2 kits i have, both stock and expansion.

Just got Guitar Rig 5 Pro, I couldn`t resist.
Thanks for the hind.
Amplitube is  also really good as a   virtuell amp imo and I use both,
depends on which sound fits better. But most I like with mic
recorded amps,which don´t match always................... 

Well,ain't I the smart one[NOT] I upgraded to Guitar Rig Pro 5"3weeks ago for 99 dollars + international transaction fee".

At least I got the more or less the Full Amplitube 3 for 80 dollars yesterday[+ transaction fee...less with Amplitube for some reason?].

They both have their place,and yes I agree about the more dynamics with GR,whilst using the guitars volume knob.

Anyway my recent upload on soundcloud "MY OWNT" was done completely with Guitar Rig P5,so if I'd waited,I may not have recorded anything,wether that's a bad thing I'm not sure?

The other longish instrumental "DeBASSed",was done with a mixture of Guitar Rig 5 Player [cleanish stuff],but all the lead n heavier things were with my new Les Paul Studio[first real Left Hand Gibson in 25 years]and my ole faithfull Marshall 2203/4x25w Celestions,mic'ed with an SM58 copy[!],oh and it's called that,as I don't yet have a Bass Guitar[I used to,a thousand years ago,but thats another story!]
Cheers All

Ya  I just paid $99 for GR5 a couple of months ago...this is why I try to hold off for sales. Because if you don't, you feel stupid or ripped off for paying fiull price...

Well, i often do the same, but instead of the "i got ripped off paying full price" feeling you get the "They just released a new version of the software i upgraded last month" feeling..  so it evens out! :)
 
 

I've got enough toys, screw it.

 
That's really not a bad perspective to have.  The toys should serve a purpose other than acting as a collection!
 

I don't currently have Guitar Rig from Sonar installed on my DAW. If I get the upgrade to the $49.50 special price one, will it give me the full version installation, or MUST I have the version from Sonar installed first. I can always go back to my X1 CD's and install Guitar Rig but I am hoping the update will work as a full installation as well. Peace
