this is going to be great they added some nice stuff and the lofi effects this going to be a game changer swiss army knife type of shit for guitar rig users yeah i will be using this for more than just a guitar this is by far best update i seen them have on guitar rig

 

I've had enough of NI releasing updates to stuff i own in komplete. It will cost me half of the update cost to the next komplete just to update my guitar rig 6.
Fuck them and this fucking relentless treadmill of capitalist shit coming from fucking vulture capitalism, fuck them all.
I'm off the treadmill with them, i stopped updating my izotope bundle because they did this shit and now fucking NI has joined in big time.

 

didn't GR6 just come out like 5 months ago?? feels like it to me, lol

 

Sound great or not?

 

I own K14 Collectors ed. (updated from 13 as usual). I always updated my iZotope MPS. Not this year! I understand how this works - you upgrade from K13 to K14 and then some 20+ hiphop expansions and couple of semi-useful releases come out. And I could/can live with that. For now.

I am "that guy" that can afford to pay for updates. The world is not a nicer place though, as the days go by (from my POV), and yp, I am more careful where I 'invest'. Already dropped iZotope (so they got a big ZERO from me this year). Same with PA. In fact, this PA, iZo, NI trinity con makes me feel veeery uncomfortable.. at the end, I might quit doing business /w NI altogether.

on topic (lol): this GR7 looks really nice. One can probably get all that lo-fi just putting one of the thousands lo-fiers floating around on GR6. That's as far as 'not just for guitars' goes. Probably, for guitarists, it is worth it.

I always liked old GR. It might not have modeled anything particularly accurately but it always seemed to sit in a track well. It'll be fun to check this out.

Oh, and NI can gently lick a turd. They are a company I don't give actual money to.

 

Oh, it has a Hammond scanner vibrato! How cool is that??

 

naw it was around the same time this month 3 or 2 years ago lol u trippin when u said a couple of months tho lol

 

yeah they milk the game like Rockstar games do GTA5 but if u can get it for free like i do here aint mad about what they do or even care it'll be on sister site in a couple of days ....

 

im not being a smart ass tho so don't think that.............. i do agree with you i know how native instruments is .........thats why i don't buy they shit i use it for free

 

that long? thought it came out around the same time as amplitube 5, which also seems like not very long ago lol.

have both but rarely touch GR.... don't like the interface

 

APRIL 2021 = GR6

 

the usual fix need a keygen update.
to generate a license from this new UPID.

vr seems to have a matching license

 

Tested it.
Uninstalled it.

It is WAY behind ToneX, THU rig player, Helix ...

All gains amps sound like FUZZ.
I don't understand how their last SLO100 ICM can sound like an Orange amp with a RAT in front ... and others too

Frankly, it is a joke.
Even first PODs sounded better and realistic compared to this.

When I first started dabbling with production, GR4 was the shit.

Aside from being the only guitar plugin I knew (I'm a guitarist first) it was my first foray into fx chains.
Some of the sounds I got back in those days were absolute ace. Or they sounded ace to my inexperienced ears.
Pitch delay, shimmer reverb, reverse delay, octaver... I had never known any of those before.

Then I got to dive deeper into audio stuff, stopped using GR4.

Then GR5 came out, and I gave it a try. Didn't sound bad, but didn't have its place in my workflow anymore.

Then GR6 came out.

It ate up 90% of my CPU and sounded like I'd plugged my guitar to a deep-fryer.

I'll give GR7 a try, but I have zero expectations. I think the climate crisis has a better chance of dying off than GR7 sounding good.

 

I agree.. I thunk they should just not call it guitar rig and name it something else.. the effects are really cool.. I've never used it on a guitar .. just have better options in my opinion

 

@FrankWhite23
That's the main problem with NI : they know how to make amazing effects ... but not "basic" guitar sound.

Frankly ... any experimented guitarist will hear the "fuzzy" high freqs on ALL amps.
It makes them sound the same.

The worst thing being kind of "aliasing zipper" on some amps, like AC30.
You attack and get a kind of "fizz" on each note ... horrible.

Even free and old LePou plugins from 2009 sound better ... come on NI ...

@triggerflipper
When i tried Amplitube ... i left everything else behind in this era.
Now i use THU rig player as main sound (ToneX being "flabby" for high gain metal, with too much useless "fillers").
There is a part of personal preference AND a part of reality.

But don't see GR being a serious "solution" to anything.
Especially when v7 just fall flat out compared to ANY other guitar suite.
Even free ones.

Heh. I remember when I first tried Amplitude (can't remember which version) but there definitely was a WOAH effect compared to GR.
I was like "So I can sound like Brian May AND Dimebag??" with a cheap Squier Strat lol.

It didn't last long though. For a while I put my guitar aside and concentrated solely on electronic music.
When I got back to it, I discovered TH-U and never looked back.
But then I discovered Neural DSP too lol.

Nowadays my guitar template is Pro-Q3 (I have a constant hum/hiss at 6khz that I cut, don't know if it's the single coils or my house's wiring) > Pro-G > BlueCat ReGuitar > Cytomic The Scream > Fuse Audio Labs F-59 (or Neural DSP Cory Wong Archetype if I want some variety) > Melda MCabinet > Valhalla VintageVerb and Valhalla Delay.

No fuss, no muss. I launch my DAW and ready to noodle in less than a minute, and if I want to get more adventurous I have several FX-chain presets on Bitwig which I can control with my MIDI expression pedal.


And yeah, totally agree with NI being able to make amazing effects, most of which I've learned to use in GR4.
But what's the point of having a Softube designed compressor, EQ, a kickass distortion like NI Drive etc. in your chain if the amp sound sucks, right?

Plus, others have caught up.
Overloud Gems are great too, and most of them are available in TH-U.
Amplitude has the track proven IK fx, enough said.

But more than any, Neural DSP totally nailed a bunch of fx, from Fortin pedals to TubeScreamer emulations (although Cytomic is still GOAT for that one). The Tim Henson Archetype plugin even has a MIDI controlled harmonizer lol, the Gojira one has the best whammy emulation in a software imo (haven't checked the recent Morello one, it may even be better), Petrucci has an almost 100% transparent transposer and doubler, and the Rabea one (who the fuck wants that guy's tone? lmao) has a pitch tracking subtractive synth for fuck's sake!!

The only effect that still isn't quite there yet IMO is wah. There are some really good ones (the Kuassa one is the best sounding to my ears, especially when you turn the auto-wah off and control it with an expression pedal, but for convenience I just go with Neural's or TH-U's) but having owned four different great wah pedals in my life, I definitely feel something is missing -which is weird, cause at the end of the day, it's just a steep bandpass filter, so should be super easy to emulate, right? And they're good enough so you can't tell the difference in a mix, but when I play solo, which is what I mostly do, it makes me wince.

I never managed to get into BlueCat's amp sims. They make top notch plugins, but something about the interface puts me off -and I'm perfectly comfortable with Melda, go figure. Plus, they have waaaayyyyy too many options, some of them feel like fillers like you said for ToneX.
Same with their LateReplies plugin, it's one of the -if not THE- most powerful delay plugins on the market, but such a hassle to use, and sooooooo many options.
I feel like, for the modular stuff, I made the choice to put my time in understanding Melda's UI, and can't be arsed to do the same with BC

 

Man have you ever heard of a place called Audioz where almost every plugin is there and completely free ??????????????? Whats the point if you are against capitalism to keep supporting it by paying for some lines of code ( air , you buy air ) hundreds of dollars/euros etc ?? Fuck Em and come to the resistance ..................
