I might have to think of a different strategy

I caved!  Free....well ... ok....why...I don't know?

Just Because.....

But Amplitube 3 looks like a good deal.........it is better than guitar Rig? or Pod Farm 2?

or would it just be duplication??????

I mean how many compressors does one need?
How many Guitar Rigs does one need?

too many decisions.......

I caved on the Gen 16 Z deal as well.......do I really need more crashes and another drum sequencer?????

Not Really....Just another program to keep registered and updated and to learn  argh!
 
SD 2 and EZD and Session Drummer seems to cover it pretty well....

Oh the Pain.....the Pain.............................................................................................

First Amp3 is better than GR4 (but GR5 is much improved) and Podfarm IMHO.

Second, No it won't be duplication.

Third, you'll be glad you got the Gen16.  You can't have too many drums or cymbals. 

Fourth, cheer up.  You're doing fine:-)

Once you get to grips with Eco I think you'll see that it's a much better option than the ones you already have.
Also you may even want to upgrade either to the full version of Eco or even BFD2.


I say full version because if you've not read it already it seems the Eco DV is 32bit only where as the full version is 64bit.
I have never had a problem with 32bit Eco and bitbridge and being a lighter version means it doesn't really
need all that extra RAM anyway. Your machine should run it fine and you'll hardly notice any difference in performance.

IMHO, Amplitube, Guitar Rig, Waves GTR, POD Farm and most others are interchangeable. The only one that's in a category of its own is S-Gear. I have most of them and I use each of them for different things. Usually, it's trial and error until you get what you're after.

The other day I re-opened a project I hadn't worked on since January. The guitars were laid across 3 tracks and I was surprised to hear how good and cohesive they sounded, so I switched to the mixer view and saw that I had used a different amp sim on each track - GR 5, Amplitube and S-Gear.

Amp sims are like drums - you can't have too many. ;)

For me...I tend to fall back on Amp3 just because I'm so used to and like the GUI as well as the sounds.  But I have to agree with my ol pal Rain...S-Gear is unique...fabulous...and cheap.  What more could you ask for?  I use it for almost all my "tasty" "creamy" walter beckeresque stuff as well as the best blues tones ever.  It's a must have.

God I love it when you put things this way......always brings a smile to my face!!!   :-)
 
I am also glad to see that you knew I was kind of serious with the questions....because I am....
I find I do not use POD Farm 2 at all....I should but I do not......I mostly use GR 5 and I am still not sold on it....But I do generally like the IK product line....
 
But why would it not be duplication? More guitar rack gear? Is it really so different......I do hear a difference between POD Farm and Guitar Rig....maybe not a whole lot...but there is s difference.....
 
Wouldn't Ammp 3 be the same kind of deal?   (But there is a whole lolt of gear being offered in this deal!!!)
 
Oh...I got my Gen 16 Pkg yesterday.....But before I install it I think I am going to want to get BFD Eco 1.5 which is 64 bit and has the Rock legends samples included in the DL for $49.00 .........I was looking at the Fx Expansion site yesterday and they have an expansion package for Japan's Taiko Drums!!!  I just know I am going to have to have that!!!!!!  never know when your in the mood for a little Tribal !!!!!!!!!
 
Thanks!
:-)

Hey Steve
Yeah I see that it is only 32 bit.....draw back......
 
However BFD Eco 1.5 is 64 bit and on sale for $49 smackers with an extra sample pack.....
 
I got the Gen 16 pack yestereday in the mail but before I install I just might buy the Eco 1.5 install that and then install the Gen 16 pack.....this way I stay in 64 bit............and then I have an eye on the Takio Durm expansion pack!
 
Thanks Brother
