My rig consists of the Helix, a Yamaha DXR12, and a half-height floor stand that I position behind me in a normal backline setup. So here's what I've settled on for the simplest and most flexible solution. Like you I play in a variety of different circumstances with a range of different PA's from exceptional to "should have been replaced sometime during the last 3 decades". Thanks for discussion! I'm looking for all the nerdy details! I know there's probably dozens of "how to use digital rig live" threads, but I made my own because what I really wanna know is for those of you who regularly gig with only your digital rigs how do you get heard? And just as importantly WHY have you gone this route, what has failed you along the way, and what's working for you now vs. This brings me to think that my best and safest option would be some kinda powered PA speaker as my cab and potentially another as a monitor.Īs someone who has never owned a digital rig like the headrush, axe fx, atomic, etc I'm completely clueless on where to start with this new venture. One thing I definitely wanna eliminate is bringing my EVH 5150iii and Marshall 4x12 to gigs. I guess the perfect situation would allow me to plug into the PA anywhere we play, but considering some of the shoddy PA's that get used in this world that might not always yield the best sounding result for me. My band plays anywhere from total dives to big outdoor festivals. I know that when it comes to live use I wont be going that crazy because my goal is to eliminate the amount, size, and weight of crap I have to lug to gigs. It seems he uses his through the power section of a couple of 100 watt Marshall's. Seems like there's some guys using it successfully live like Tracii Guns.
But a multi core setup will free up resources in mutitasking in principle the OS could run on one core, the app on the other.After some heavy research and listening I've settled on the Headrush Pedalboard for my future live rig. GuitarRig will always run on one core only. You also mention cpu 0 and cpu 1 - does your computer have two physical Atom CPUs, or is it the new Atom 330 (the only one with a dual core AFAIK) finally in a Netbook? I've just recently started to look for this type of product, and very interested in user experiences.įWIW GuitarRig doesn't benefit from multi core CPU's as such i.e. If your netbook can handle your high settings at all, I think it would be very interesting to hear what you can do with a lower setting. This leaves much more resources to play with for your CPU.
What are your results with a setting of 16-bit, 41 khz ? hm - I'd like to take an argument with anyone who claim to actually hear the difference between 41 kHz and 96 kHz samplerate, for instance. Sure, from a pure technical view it is 'better', but what you hear. Hi! Why do you use 24-bit 96 kHz? It puts such a strain on your system, with NO(!) audible benefits for you. I get a polished studio sound on my acoustic electric that is remarkable Killed all unnecessary startup items and servicesĭeleted the stock antivirus and replaced it with the new microsoft security suite (morro)īottom line: it sounds awesome for live guitarĮveryone that hears it is just amazed at the sound quality I switched processor scheduling to background (for asio performance) I used dpc checker to pinpoint the cause of audio dropouts (the atheros wireless card)Īnd used a tiny program name devmgr to create a desktop shortcut that disables the wireless card before running audio
I used the latest asio4all driver to replace the lexicon asio I am using a basic usb 1.0 lexicon omega as an audio and midi interface.Ī usb 2.0 would perform even faster latencies, and the lenovo s10 netbooks offer a 34 express card that would utilize a TI based firewire adapter to drive firewire 400 or 800 to the netbook equivilent of a PCI buss It took a LOT of tweaking to get live audio to run without dropouts or high latency. I have a stock acer one netbook running guitar rig 3. Dont believe the negative posts about netbooks or usb for live guitar
