Me buying GR5 Pro has been the best damn move in my entire life. I have never fallen in love with anything like it before, it can do everything and has some damn fine models!

[@passsacaglia]

Damn what's the sound of 2:30 's effect?? Looking for that 80's clean guitar solo but this one was good!

[@avdeur]

Hi Walliman, Thanks your comments! Indeed I was afraid of the overkill as you call it. Decided to go for the M-Audio Fast Track which could purchase at a very low price. Think the Alesis offers more input channels which would have been better if jamming with others. Always on option for later! Will be checking out the Dutch Graigslist! Thanks yr advice! Keep well. Regards Albert

[@udsahn]

I'm not sure what the solution would be to this issue, but a crashlog is a file that indicates what went wrong when something--a program or such--crashed (Failed to run or fails and stops running). These are usually located wherever the program is and is a simple text document you can open in a text editor (like notepad in windows). Most of the time you can discover the cause of the problem from them. Good luck solving the issue :). Contact Native Instruments if it continues.

[@JimZarasOfficial]

After using it for many many years and being able to achieve good results, my opinion is this: for lead tones and clean ones GR is great. But for rhythm heavy distorted tones its pretty hard to make it sound convincing. Amplitube 3 is match better but what blows everything out of the water is Bias for iPad or Bias Desktop. What i really like about GR is the affects. I tend to use them a lot in bus tracks.

[@darryldupuis6711]

I use a rocksmith USB cable with GR5. Works great, no delay and the sound is clean.

[@shreddybits]

@saintofbladez I used a PodXT awhilke before switching to GR5. Limitations exist within both. With the Pod, you've got a unit that can go anywhere. With Guitar Rig, your rig is all PC based, so a laptop is required to move it around, and you have alot more control over customization features of the amplifier, but with the Pod, you have dedicated hardware processing, so you're not limited by your computers soundcard/capabilities. PM if you have any specific questions :)

[@parlancex]

@bullitt773 Make sure the ASIO driver is installed for your UX1. If it is, make sure you have selected to use the ASIO driver in Guitar Rig 5 or whatever DAW you are using.

[@Whyrendog]

@Vercingetorix The way the Eleven Rack and Axe FX differ might be useful to have all those extra sounds available. When I first got the Eleven Rack, I would use one Eleven Rack track in with my tube amp tracks when there was a part that blended in little too much. Personally, from what I've heard so far the Axe FX II is the best thing to happen to modeling without using some kind of outboard device. If the reamping is anything like 11R, you can reamp FX or entire mixes/prefer outboard w/11.

[@vinmax19]

@Wallimann thanks you are really good at guitar, i searched and found that thinks required are:- 1.guitar to usb interface(H/W) 2.ASIO4ALL(S/W)

[@MaxDanganan]

0:33 That's definitely TDWP right there!

[@bullitt773]

@Wallimann Only latency settings are within GR5. The UX1 connects via usb to pc. Maybe I'll try the headphones out on that, to the mic in on the pc. Thanks again for your reply!

[@hemmelight]

Yep, I use the same thing into Garageband and it sounds great. No latency.

[@kdoverock]

I tried guitar rig 5 and the new additions are great! the soldano and peavey 5150 are by far the best amps in the package yet, and i already use redwirez impulses, so the control room pro works great!

[@vikingwizardeyes2121]

@Wallimann Yes! I am so excited to get it now. Thanks very much!

[@inefficient]

@Wallimann Yeah, it's really fun. I like the harmoniser ones aswell. Very cool.

[@LeNickNL]

@Wallimann Hmm, too bad! But no problem, as soon as I sell my Blues Jr I'm gonna buy Rig Kontrol with Guitar Rig 5 and probably a Beats Studio headphone. Can't wait for that. Thanks for your help :)

[@cperalta]

GR5 seems great and all, but I wish they would have also released a new Rig Kontrol with XLR outs. Then it'd be worth buying the whole package.

[@robertmazurowski5974]

Why did the algorithm show me this? Interesting as I am interested in guitar rig:) and watch David Walliman for the past month.

[@Abayake]

I have 2ms to input to output on windows. I wouldn't call that disoriatoin. However if you use a normal souncard apple's directaudio driver has better latency yeah, but without apple native stuff is the same, but when you know you can get better spec for the same price...

[@xBobban]

pluging your guitar straight in to your computer works just fine, if your not looking for epic quality sound :)

[@cordeezyt]

You could run midi sounds through it as a plug-in such as VST

[@awaiskali]

I had a similar problem, try reducing the number of samples of the ASIO to say, 64 or 128. Didn't affect the playback quality but the latency reduced to almost zero.

[@PhilippeShink]

@Wallimann haha that's ok i'll try to find it, thanks for the awesome demo !!

[@margriel]

@ironguitardac You have to set the group channel as an stereo channe/track

[@PB72UK]

Nice playing, but I cant help but think the sound is very fuzzy ? almost like there is too much drive on the front end? maybe it is just the youtube compression that has taken its toll. I have tried the GR5 Demo and I was very impressed.

[@whiteparade94]

Guitar rig 5 is awesome guys,seriously.Native has made a lot of improvement.

[@WolfySnackrib666]

@Wallimann Hmm, I think I managed to somewhat fix my problem by lowering the master volume of the guitar inside the program which got rid of most of the static, so now it sounds good enough to compose something I think!

[@Hielkenator]

@WizardsMagic007 Yep, I know what you mean...you need an awefull fast processr compared to GR4.

[@Hielkenator]

@VJW757 Totally agree! But GR 5 sounds a lot beter than GR 4 IMO. GR 5 is a bit of a recource hog though....

[@voltaspeeder17]

How do you get natural sounds like these? I have the same guitar rig which i'm using with Focusrite Saffire 14 pro, but cannot get tones like this out of my guitar...They are close, but dinamic just isn't there. Do you use a pro cables?

[@RoryButler]

These amp sims really are always improving! You're getting some great tones from this.

[@supercoco12]

could you make or draw a map of ur connections? Like Guitar-Mac-Amplifier Please (:

[@95dank]

Whenever I play I get this awful hisss/screech in the background of my playing. Once I stop playing, the hiss/screech becomes as loud as the playing would be. I don't know what to do! help?

[@jayshakya3133]

Reduce input noise

[@ScifiSiShredaholic]

Hi David, sounds great :) Don't spose you could post a list of the presets you're using?

[@FixedHDD]

So now... how can you use this on stage? Guitar->interface->Mac and Software->??? i guess it wouldn't be goot to use the internal output.

[@Barefoot67]

guitar rig is a fantastic program

[@LuciT25]

you can also try pinching the noise gate.

[@lobmo]

@voltaspeeder17 Totally the pickups that you use! With the EMG 81/85 I get pretty close to this.

[@FluffyMuffina]

These tones sound fantastic.

[@SwordInTheSky]

i dont know how he did it but i do it like this, i record myself (video record) recording onto the program . then get a video program and use the audio recording instead of the cameras sound audio

[@TheRealRedWolf]

Thanks for the Demo Dave. I was wondering what song you are Playing at 2:40

[@Wallimann]

Glad you liked it! I wasn't playing any particular song, just played whatever came to mind. ;-)

[@killzingertv9914]

***** LOL I was just thinking the same, I was like OMG that song sounds awesome!

[@kevintang4932]

+TheRealRedWolf It was B F# B then A F# B then G F# B those r just the notes. I dont play guitar but i have perfect pitch

[@BeyondTheMind007]

dave, do you know what setting that is.?

[@esoteric6178]

Guitar Rig is hands down the best software fx you can buy.

[@RabihSaadguitars]

yep..surprisingly after all these years..

[@48mastadon]

I like the octaver sound and riff at 50 seconds in.

[@jacktheguitarman]

@Wallimann damn it sounds so smooth and creamy

[@Bryc3ee]

@GreenDay3213 Cause they're better sounding than the digital sounding guitar rig and amplitube. If you find some good impulse files then a pod sounds much, much better.

[@arash123salam]

Hi, please help! I have this program and it makes way too much noise, it's like it picks up very little sound in the environment and tries to amplify them too! I'm sure I should be able to resolve this issue in my PC's sound settings, but I have no idea what exactly is causing this or what should I change. Does anyone have any suggestions?!

[@benjeffries1393]

The noise gate dial?

[@thecharlesmacdonald]

@Wallimann Yeh, I have a renegade 65 2x12 it sounds great!

[@radarTube]

nice tones :) thanks for share David but... hey where's the Eleven Rack gone ?

[@bluepowder777]

Great sounds! I also like watching the mouse move throughout the vid.

[@JamesBellx]

@Wallimann o :/ Good luck with it. Hope it gets fixed soon :)

[@zeus1356]

Great tone and great technique, thanks for sharing. I have an M-Audio Mobile Pre USB and my tones are still muddy and dull, is it the audio interface? Do I need a better one? Thanks!

[@spudgun05]

One more question please ,can you plug a quater inch jack in to them ?or is it a special sort of connector.from the guitar rig foot controller output ,thanks again

[@cileth]

Would be sweet if you did a tone comparison of guitar rig/eleven rack/axe fx ultra and axe fx 2! How are you liking the axe fx II? Everything I've heard from it so far sounds amazing!

[@kronbakeren]

thanx for the great vid! you're an awesome player! i haven't read all the feedback,but i'd like to ask u,would u prefer to mic up an amp,if u ran a mesa boogie or a fender amp to get the valve sound or do u reckon guitar rig emulates the sound to prof recording?

[@natan_abdala]

I see you have several guitar amp simulators, between eleven rack and Guitar rig 5, which one would be more appealing to you, sound wise.

[@youshit666]

Ok thanks, a loy latency soundcard is the clue! Any suggestions?

[@scootergreen3]

Very good! At one point your guitar software emulated a Stratocaster. Does the software change the pickups and body sound or how does it do that. It would be nice to have one guitar to make it sound like a Gibson and Fender when you want it.

[@paulvenkman]

Awesome video man. Did you use Mainstage to playback the presets of GR5?

[@PiotrLatoMusic]

How would you compare TH2 to GR5? I know it's a terrible question, but if you could only afford one... I'm looking for something with the most natural tonal response.

[@vikingwizardeyes2121]

So would I be able to use GR5 as a plugin to record into Logic or something? You know, assuming I have an interface.

[@Vercingetorix]

There are some nice tones to be had in that product. Are we going to get a longer demo of the item? Great playing by the way it was nice to hear you get your shred on :)

[@Josiahdunham]

Great playing man. Seriously awesome. How do you feel this compares to Axe-fx?

[@ToxicLandOfSins]

did you connect it to an audio interface?or you just plug it directly to your pc?the sounds are amazing! :D nice video by the way :)

[@guitar_nicks_licks]

are you using the piezo pickup in your fly at 2:40 or is that an acoustic simulator in guitar rig? I know you already have the axe fx ultra, but if you want take a look at my videos. i use the lepou plugins and they sound pretty amazing considering the price of 0 dollars.

[@Fetteremo]

why was your channel down?i searched for so long !

[@voltaspeeder17]

@Wallimann - i tried with lots of different guitars (also some expensive ones), and it didn't make that necessary difference. But probably is all together - your guitar, different preamp, different cable,etc. :)

[@firdausHITMAN]

I have a yamha thr-10 - is the guitar rig a better thing? Does it have better tone and playing feel. Many thanks

[@18TMA]

nice! how did you remove the noise if you use the metal amps on guitar rig? sorry for my baad english.

[@vivekteega]

Hi dude ! those are some really good tones you are getting there. which sound interface are you using ?

[@whty92]

how come there is no hum? i use guitar rig with my fender and my usb interface and its got a looooot of hum on distortion, but only on distorsion. On clean setups it doesn't hum. why? thanks in advance

[@flingar]

Hi man, nice job! I have a question for you. I'm a pro guitarist and I would like to combine two completely different styles of playing (django style gypsy jazz with a selmer type guitar and a "stimer" pickup and electric jazz-funk stuff) with the less possible gear. I was thinking to use guitar pro with a Tech 21 power engine for both (with different guitars off course). I'm not so sure for the gypsy stuff though... do you think I could get a '30 vintage sounding amp from this setup?

[@MATEAKENNY1234]

Awesome video man. How many tracks did you use for each backing track?

[@hemmelight]

If you're using presets, which one are you using at the 1:16 mark? Sounds great.

[@marionicolas93]

How do you preamp guitar in input? I have a sound interface with RCA inputs (no preamp), do you think a DI Box could do something?

[@eleintblood]

Great playing Master David!

[@Sadatto93]

i need some help please... i have the usb guitar link alesis and is not working with guitar rig, the problem is about a crashlog i dont know what is that, so what do you think i have to do?...

[@andrezimut]

you should download "asio4all" drivers to your device.. install, and BEFORE run Guitar Rig you must disable speakers and mics from your ... so, when runs guitar rig, the "asio4all" sound drivers take the control of audio and it must be enough... i hope so

[@Vercingetorix]

@DiegoAbudCordero Yes, but probably only as an interface :( The Ultra doesn't have a USB interface so he'll probably be using it till the FXII arrives :( And then I'll be sad because he doesn't use the 11R anymore. I think I'll go and have a little *cry* in the corner.

[@bullitt773]

I downloaded the demo last night. Using a Line 6 UX1 as an audio interface, but getting lots of latency. Any suggestions? Thinking my laptop might just not have enough "girth". Thank as always for the video and great playing!

[@bipin13]

hey i alwasy liked n using guitar rig for my guitar music.. but i m thinking to use guitar rig 5 with pedalboard n using mac or win laptop for live gigs or studio recordings anywhere..what woul du suggest bro? i jst dont wanna invest in gt 100 or line 6 pod500....

[@trenty90008]

So let me ask you a question because I want to start some music online and what not. Now with this GR5 what all do I need exactly like do I just plug my guitar into my computer and open up GR5 or what? and what do you mean by interface? Like when I open up guitar rig 5 do I just plug my guitar straight into the computer and pick an amp model I want from guitar rig 5 and then play it through my speakers? because I'm so tired of using audacity and my crappy crap practice amp as recording equipment

[@JJuniorAraujo]

2:32 que efeito é esse? alguem pode me passar?

[@RequiemOfSolo]

can i use an adapter and plug my guitar right into my pc to use guitar rig? i dont have an amp anymore and im looking for a cheap solution to play again

[@eratanjoven]

@Wallimann thank you ^^ just one more question please,do you record with guitar rig's tapedeck 2? or do you record with another program? Thanks again :)

[@Kaptenskenben]

hey, iam thinking about buying guitar rig, do I need to buy a soundcard as well, i believe there are some kind of hardware that comes with this program, does they come with integrated soundcards, is it just plug and play easy or does it require a lot of tweaking? Also is guitar rig compatible with recording programs like cubase? Thanks in advance.

[@purplefryer1987]

thought you just bought the axe fx ultra haha didnt think this old thing would get a look in

[@lifeleech]

Hey man, awesome video. Nice sound choices and great playing to show them off. I just have one suggestion for future vids (sorry if this has been said before) - It would be great if you put the presets used at the appropriate point in the video. Cause alot of these sound really cool, but no one can tell which presets you're using, and seeing as they're factory standards......... well you see what I'm saying. Cheers for the vid. Well done. :)

[@ironguitardac]

Hey man, nice playing...i have a problem with recording guitar rig 5 with cubase,..when i add two tracks and put them through group channel track(guitar rig 5)..a can pan one track to the left side but when i pan the other to the right nothing comes out...i hope that you'll figure it out what i'm trying to say haha, ...sorry for my bad english...thanks ;)

[@ashraful2010]

the 2nd pluking u were playing was really nice :) would u tell me which preset or amp did you use.

[@K1mball92]

how did u get a very clean sound? i mean, mine there's some noise..white noise if i'm not mistaken..

[@darthmaul666]

Hey bro!!! Mind sharing with us what camcorder or dslr ur using to record ur videos? They look super crisp in HD!!!

[@LeNickNL]

do you always need to have a computer beside Guitar Rig to be able to play, or can you also play without a computer, for instance with presets you saved earlier?

[@whty92]

@Wallimann i use behringer xenyx 302 usb and i have not used noise supressor setting

[@eratanjoven]

Your sound is great! Do you thinks it's necesary a 11R or similar to get this quality?Because i have a boss gt10 and i don't know if it's enough. Thanks!

[@freedomination2]

Can you do a vid showing how to record GR5 in Audacity? Record a rhythm track and then record some lead on a second track. I cannot get it to work. Windows 7 64bit I get "error while opening sound device"

[@echolalia1965]

Awesome playing! Do you think the sound quality of guitar rig 5 sounds better than Guitar Rig 4? NI claim it does but I am seeking other opinions. . . What do you think? Thanks!

[@RequiemOfSolo]

Whats the cheapest audio interface i could get to use with guitar rig? right now im directly plugged into my pc thru line in and it doesnt sound that great. Really muffled and flat

[@mathiaskyle]

I see you're using a mac there, is there a separate version you have to download for mac?

[@iballiano]

Thanks wallimann for all your videos... Your tone and sound quality have made me decide to buy a nitefly sa like the one you are using in this video. Do you still own it? Awesome playing... Thanks!!!
