Topic: Amp simulation
Recently I have been setting up my computer for recording. I have always previously used a traditional setup ie
Guitar - effects - amp - mic - computer
I have previously give the line6 pod xt live a go and whilst I did like some of the sounds, I never really got on with it.
I recently gave the Revalver MKII plugin by Peavey a go and I must say, the amp sounds and tone I am getting is pretty impressive. The great thing about this is that I have only one wire into my audio interface so gone is the consistent trouble I got with my various pedals causing hum
The tone is punchy and what you hear through your PC is pretty much is what you get on your track - no worrying about micing up correctly or having enough volume to get a decent enough input.
The other thing I like about this is the simplicity in adding other effects, cabinets, heads compressors etc to achieve different sounds.
I am going to upload some of my recordings over the coming weeks so you can hear for yourselves what is being achieved - all through the computer!
Anyone else use amp simulators for their music production?
