Any Guitar Rig builder forums?

GR new forum!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi. There is a new forum for Guitar rig users. I make it alone to help this great community. You can upload your presents and banks, talk about guitar problems and everything you want.

You can start your registing.
Use and abuse

Thanks!!!
Best regards

 

Going to give us an address?

I notice lots of people are viewing this thread, maybe hoping something gets sorted out, more people posting their thoughts would be a good sign of support for these guys.

I was trying to check out the forum but unfortunately the link doesn't work for me.

 

http://brohymn.awardspace.com/index2.php or http://guitarrig.no-ip.org

the 2 are working

 

Neither work for me. I'm living in Taiwan...Maybe that has something to do with it.

Alright, good work on the forum, I will be putting a prominent link on my site. The site by the way has a rough skeleton made now and will be uploaded this week. Here is the first part of your participation; send me your banks/presets!! Send all banks and presets to guitarrigger@andrewjnuttall.com. I want everyone to send as many as possible so that I can have a massive initial release (I have a pretty large collection already which needs to be sorted through and combined)

Also in the initial release I will have the first set of 10 "Challenge Tones" which be in the form of Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child; the idea being that you create a rig that can best emulate the tones in the song (preferably 1 preset with fx that can be turned on/off as they would in a real live rig, ex distortion pedal on/off)

In the future I hope to have a form style upload for the songs, but until then just send them by email to the same account and make your subject the title of the song you're submitting.

I have not received any files from anyone...

This is discouraging as participation will be the only thing that makes this site work supporting. So now I am going to make it a requirement; until I get an undisclosed ammount of presets/banks sent to me for the initial launch the site link will not be posted on this forum.

After all what good is a site that has X amount of downloads, and then nothing new ever again?

 

That's life, man... Think about it this way: Noone can be sure you really are about to create a site for Guitar Rig presets. Maybe you just want those presets people have put a lot of their time and effort into and then you disappear. I'm not saying that this is what you're up to, I'm just saying some people might be afraid of that. Another possibility is, some people don't want to share their presets or some just don't care because they don't search for presets.

Just build your site, post the link and see if people are interested in it. If it's sexy and usable, people will be interested but you're trying to sell a pig in a poke. It just doesn't work that way. First you have to give something and then, if you're lucky, you'll receive something in return. Eventually everyone gets something out of it, if it's all online. If you make it a requirement that people send you an undiclosed amount of presets before you post the link to your site, noone will even care about you or your site. And I can perfectly understand that.

Cheers,
Tim

PS: Just send me your presets, I'll build a site.

 

I understand your point, but keep in mind this is the 2nd website I have created for this purpose. Last time I spend many late night finishing up a pretty sweet site with flash integration and everything... just to have 1 person trade presets with me (who got my email from this forum, not even visiting the site) and instead had 20 or so people leach the files say they were great and then do nothing under the excuse that "they weren't talented enough" to create presets.

I'm not going down that road again, instead I think I'm going to just scrap the site mostly, put a few samples and an ftp with a file share ratio. See if people will play fairly.

 

I think you have good reason to be hesitant about putting up a site where everyone trades patches quid pro quo. I've participated in similar situations for other software, and I think it's just the nature of the beast that you'll have a handful of participating enthusiasts and then an army of lurkers who just download. If you have enough folks who trade tricks and tips, then it makes it easier to put up with the lurkers.

Maybe the Guitar Rig community isn't big enough to support this sort of thing yet? There are probably all sorts of reasons for this. Maybe Line 6 is and will hold onto folks who could/should/would use GR? Personally, I think GR sounds great and works very well. I don't have "golden ears" so maybe I'm missing something, but GR seems to be the better buy. Great sound, ease of use, and you don't need a TDM system to run it..! So maybe it's only a matter of time before we get enough folks who want to swap presets openly?

On the other hand, maybe folks are a little proprietary about their rigs? I have to admit that there are one or two set ups that I tweaked for a long time to get them perfect, and I would have a hard time parting with them... Not that I have any illusions that I'll be making the next smash indie-internet hit record with these set-ups. And I admit that this selfishness on my part goes against the spirit of trading chops that I admire about musicians.

Anyway, I like the idea of a competition to try emulating a famous tone. One draw back to this idea, or maybe it's not a draw back but rather something that points to other technical issues in using Guitar Rig, is that everyone's input tone is going to be different. Even running direct in, some guitars are hotter than others.
Personally, I've been getting some cool results by using some of my other studio gear before I go into the computer. (I know all the arguments against "printing processed signals to tape" but I'm willing to live with the drawbacks.)
