Reaper is free to evaluate. If you intend to use it in the longer term then you should buy a license. A non-commercial license for Reaper is about 60USD.

If you bought any line-6 device, dig through your CD collection. They love shipping abelton live with their studio gear.
QUOTE (ruben_mcn @ Nov 2 2009, 08:16 AM)  So i got somthing like 1000 euros for my recording gear ... and i decided i´m going to get an logitech Quickcam Pro 9000.. an Line 6 tone port ux2 (that comes with pod farm and riffwors)...and some studio monitors(any sugestions??) Do i need anything else(like editing sofware) ??? the UX-models (1, 2, 8, or just the GX) will work great for monitoring with zero latency if you use it correctly. The UX series also comes with abelton in addition to riffworks. I haven't tried riffworks but abelton is pretty solid. Side note: anyone experiencing latency with external audio interface should post their setup for correction. There's no reason for that to continue aside from user error. -------------------- ::jafomatic

What kind of music to you want to record? If I had a 1000€ budget I wouldn't go for a Line6 product.

QUOTE (ruben_mcn @ Nov 2 2009, 09:11 PM) - Hard rock, blues and some Metal ... what would you go for ??? I would have gone for E-MU 04/04 or it's bigger brother, also Presonus make some killer cards. And then I would have bought a Amp-Sim instead... or recorded the guitar with microphones or a Hot-Plate with speaker simulation.... + bought a couple of good microphones. The monitors recommended is great for their price, I have Tannoy's in my homestudio (quite expensive), but I will also add the nEar 05 active monitors which I use for my computer, they also sounds great... The most critical when doing home recordings (or recordings) is actually the AD/DA -converters, hence therefore it's better to invest in a good soundcard. //Staffay --------------------  Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

If you want to record rock metal I wouldn't recommend Line6 stuff.
First thing you will need is a decent soundcard which also serves as audio interface EMU TRACKER PRE - 138€ With this device you can connect your guitar to the pc and you can also connect two microphones if you want to record your amp (then you should also buy a Shure Sm 57 - 100€ + another microphone maybe a shure sm 58 for recording vocals. Instead of using the podmodellers you should buyREVALVER MK III ~ 200€ + RECABINET 2.0 ~ 15$ as a cabinet simulator Forget Guitar Rig and pod products you will never get a decent metal tone out of them. Revalver MK III ist the best product from blues to High-Gain Metal. As DAW I would suggest Reaper(~50€). You will get Cubase LE with the emu device for free, but I prefer Reaper. Depends on your personal taste. There is also a free amp simulation which got a really good metal tone: Wagner Sharp! Check it out I use it for most of my recordings, but don't forget to put an cabinet simulation in the fx chain (you can use revalver's cabinet simulator with recabinet IR for this - or use the free keFIR plugin) Most of the plugins you will need for recording are free, but I would go for a decent eq because it's is the most important tool you will work with. Voxengo Curve EQ - 60€ I would also buy a plugin to create drumbeats. You can either use Addictive Drums or the more common EZ + Drumkit from Hell addon. ~170€ I believe. It is easy to use and you will get amazing sounding drumbeats without much editing. Reaper+interface+revalver+recabinet+curveEQ+EZ Drummer(DFH) will cost you ~630€ So there is a lot of money you can spend on monitors, cables and other stuff, maybe a better soundcard... you can spend a fortune on recording gear  Perhaps you can get some gear used. I can also give you a list of good freeware plugins if you want. There is one which emulates the vintage tube screamer almost perfectly

With that budget I'd get a POD X3 instead of a UX2, plus some active monitors. Mackie, Tapco, Rockit...
Many instructors at GMC record their lessons using PODs. When I record I use POD X3 through a set of inexpensive creative 2.1 desktop computer speakers and it sounds quite good. Then again my recordings are simple covers over original songs, collabs & REC takes, so I don't need anything too fancy. Just my "amateur" opinion, if you wish to produce quality stuff then you might as well follow other options This post has been edited by Fran: Nov 2 2009, 11:05 PM -------------------- Guitars:

For anything else than metal I totally agree with Ivan.... //Staffay -------------------- Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

QUOTE (Skalde @ Nov 3 2009, 12:54 AM) Yeah I tried overloud and I heard amazing soundclips, but it just didn't work for me Nah, its a tricky one. I found it hard to handle, with a kind of messy interface. But it has the import of cabinet impulses in common with Revalver and GR... I'm actually no metal-player, but as far as I can tell, I found them kind of similar. I think the trick here is to treat the Amp sims as real amps. Most of the effects I tried in these simulators sounds like crap to me. Then You must also have a good sound-card and double up the instances of the sim to make it real "fat". On the other hand, I will never sell my Fender & Marshall for a guitar sim..... //Staffay -------------------- Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

I prefer Revalver because you can really tweak it a lot and there is a great community where you can share presets

The Logitech webcam is very good, but I would also go for Guitar Rig here. In my opinion it sounds much better than the line 6 products, but thats a matter of personal taste too of course. Did you ever consider using Pro Tools? The version with the M-Box Mini is not that expensive and the package would give you the best recording software that is available today together with a very good audio interface, as far as I know you can get it for around 300 € in the moment, so there is still 700 left for the webcam, guitar rig (or line 6) and whatever else you still want.

Of course Guitar Rig is better than line6 products, but did you really try other amp modelling softwares like Revalver?

Hearing the actual real amp, and then trying to simulate the tone with guitar modeler later will yield much better result than not hearing one and trying to emulate (sounds logical, but usually not a lot of people have the chance to do this, which is understandable ofc, considering the value of all that gear). -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
