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
