haze015 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Which programs should I get for my mac (I mean like guitar rig,cubase etc) ? I heard that there are some good programs for/with guitar stuff that are goodd with mac. Thnx You need to be more specific. What do you actually want to do?

Delorean Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 You need to be more specific. What do you actually want to do? As I already said, Im not that good at computers with guitar stuff therefore I just wnt to know what kind of programs are there so I could learn more about different things. I know how to use cubase (thts about it), as I have been recording songs with my band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still pretty vague Guitar software is mostly amp/effect simulations for recording (Guitar Rig, Amplitube etc). DAWs like Cubase, Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools etc are generally better for getting creative, but not so useful for live stuff (Except maybe Ableton depending on what you're doing). Then there's Max/MSP, Reaktor etc where you build your own effects and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(On the video "Making of the Resistance" it doesnt look like cubase) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(On the video "Making of the Resistance" it doesnt look like cubase) Pro Tools HD. It's industry standard and costs thousands (Though there are cheaper versions of it), but the reasons for that aren't actually beneficial to a hobbyist in their bedroom. As you have Cubase, I wouldn't bother looking at a PT setup. Also, Muse have lots of outboard/hardware and I'd imagine 3rd party plugins, so any DAW could get the same results, just they could afford to invest in PTHD.

Problemfanatique Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 N00b question: Is there a way you can get feedback without going up close to an amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 you can get a similar effect with an ebow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New years drunkardness... It doesn't enhance anything, just as the note is actually sustaining (rather than decaying), the harmonics that are there during the attack remain, so what you are hearing is actually your tone, so if you don't like it, sort it out and don't blame the Ebow Not sure if I should drink tonight, I always seem to be ill this time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An E-bow resonates the string artificially, therefore, it wouldn't have the "natural" responses of a standard string. And believe it or not, this would sound different....... if you want sustain... buy heavier strings, a new nut and set your neck in, dont be a pussy and buy an Ebow...

the_man361 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 afaik you dont usually get these, as they need to be as close as possible to the bridge and strings to work best, so theyre usually the thin pencil types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomrulez Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I've seen a Reaktor patch that works as a guitar to midi converter, worked pretty well for me also. The disadvantage is that you need a pc to run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
