I'd like to see how using these amps and effects would sound on other instruments as well.

you can probably compare it with amplitube, use that on rhodes and b3 and it just falls into the mix :)

Technology....gotta love it!

So u think Amplitude and this is comparable?

I've been seeing and hearing some dope shh with Amplitude. I can see how having either can lighten the load for bands and give them a chance to play through amps, mics and speakers that some may not beable to afford or don't have access to.

I've been showing DJ's and club owners waves MultiRack. How it can practically eliminate there old, outdated dusty gear.

^^^ well, it looks really cool but there is a downside ofc. The sound maybe awesome but it takes a daw with a very low latency (i mean really low) to make it functional. I know cubase (as shown in the vid) doesnt use a buffer of 32 so i bet when the dude is playing he get the monitoring adjusted first. So i wouldnt use this at all for bands since a mac pro can hardly be called portable lol.

But in case of re-amping however its perfectly suitable and indeed replaces a budget of real deal cabinets. Im not a guitarist so i know jack shit about how certain cabinets should sound (ergo, if its good mimic) but ive tried several amp plugs and found that amplitube really brings life to vsti's. I also noticed how bright and how much brilliance i heard in the vid when he was playing which doesnt seem typical to me. Normaly those amps should sound dirty, not as high end at all (only after mixing).

Not jumping to conclusions though, i'd love to hear it over hammond porta or a rhodes lol

How about as standalone?

I've use Amplitube on DRUMS...


Just sayin..

Yup, A slight bit of distortion works wonders on anything, especialliy drums (like Suc said). The trick is to use it on a seperate channel and blend, or say: Gate a kick, and put it after so the kick gives a dynamic agressive sound. Its a good way to get a gritty feel while keeping clean drums snares, pianos, etc.

Its awesome, double it with saturation and/or some Lofi and some compression and you can get some very interesting textures! (Wouldnt mind doing an experimentation video)

Havent tried revalver but amplitube has some interesting presets for everything

Same issue and maybe worse, with a daw (at least some) you get pdc through measuring the roundtrip latency for d/a<->a/d and some up to a few levels even.

fyi -> just stumbled upon this awesome site

http://www.dawbench.com/audio-int-lowlatency.htm

hmmm....looks like I need to cop one the M-Audio Profire 610's because I'm definitely not grabing the other damn near 2grand sound card. I just downloaded that latency checker as well.

^^^ you would NOT want a usb/fw interface if you want to do anything to gain less latency.

If you were aiming at the rme aio, there are cheaper alternatives. RME, lynx and ssl are currently doing more works in the pci-e field and they all have their strong points in their design. RME does great overal but ssl's madi card is better developed on the pci-e side (hence their low latency on the mac pro's) while Lynx might be preferable for aes...

Man formant I gig with a laptop and a guitar, the latency is no problem

The thing with guitar players is they already have latency as they stand 10+ feet from a real amp most of the time anyway.

I have gigged with Guitar rig, revalver and Amplitube. They all rock!

latency with my fast track pro is only 10.24ms.



Next in line is the M-Audio Profire 610. M-Audio over the years have had a mixed bag with driver performance , but the Profire 610 proved itself an extremely worthy opponent to the RME's FW low latency performance crown ...


^^^^ Taken from the link u posted...so are u saying the test was not accurate? Test results say the Profire 610 has a tiny bit more latency than RME and it cost a fraction of what the RME does!

What sound card did u use?

^^^ just saying its not ideal in a lot of other cases. In your experience you say it doesnt matter but my mind is set on eliminating as much latency possible. Some people dont even hear latency in their mix or even misalignments upon recording drumtakes. That doesnt mean its not relevant though i understand its secondary from a musician's pov.

10.24ms is quite a bit still but you got a point. My point was that pci > usb/fw regardless but yeah price determining the factor makes you consider what's relevant for you(aside from portability).

I have played gigs with a Duet and mainstage, an Maudio firewire 1814 (my current live setup) and an Audiobox. All did the job fine.

10.24ms is literally the same as being 10 feet away from your amp.

The new Jet City amps in the amplitube custom shop are AMAZING. I also love the Fender "green" tone amp in Revalver. Check out how detailed you can get with Revalver, you can edit down to component level. Kinda fun :)

I still like a real amp for recording, but man having ultra consistent tone is nice!

oh man, I also remembered that I own GTR, the Ibanez amp in that is fantastic!

Ok....I was definitely thinking on the portable side of things.

What's a quality (without breaking the bank) pci sound card with low lantency? I know I want another portable sound card for djing and live gigs but I also need to upgrade my home studio sound card...I need to upgrade from the track pro.
