He is right but you will still need a sound card, monitors and Guitar Rig if you want to record
 If you want to record with that amp then you don't need Guitar Rig but a microphone. Also you would need to tell neighbours to get ready for some serious noise In order to get a good sound from an amp you need to play it quite loud.

QUOTE (Roadside @ Feb 25 2009, 09:27 PM)  But did you ever play on such a Marshall? I mean it´s realy just MINDBLOWING! I can´t imagine that I´ll get such a sound with something that models amps. But I´m not too experienced in this. My way of thinkin´ is based on what I´ve heard. Here's my view on the whole thing mate: I have Marshall JCM 2000 TSL601 for live use. It's a decent and flexible all tube amp with 3 channels that has a DI Out (which I never use at home). It can be played at home, and I use it for practice before gigs, and for occasional playing, but the sound is not that good, unless you crank it hard. And since I've played almost 10 years now here in the apartment, my neighbours got used to hearing all that terrible moaning and scretching, so I play pretty loud, I crank the tubes so I get at least some dynamics out of them, but it's not enough really - so for any serious practicing I have to go into the studio, and carry my amp there, so I can make the sound I want for gigs. The settings change quite a bit when you crank it so you have to find new sound all together, tweak the EQ, balance the volume on channels, even reverb and all my effects act a bit differently on higher volume. For home recording, I have EMU 1212m system, very similar to that 1616m, except 1212m doesn't have the external dock with preamps and a bit less features (less I/O support). I had to get separate mic preamp and DI box. I use Guitar Rig at the moment for all recording purposes on the PC, because it's easy and plug and play, and it is a hassle for me to turn on the amp and let it warm up every time I wanna record something. Yes the sound is better, but it's a hassle, and Guitar Rig is not that bad - you can make a preset that sounds very decent for home recording, so practically tube amp is a bit of a overkill for plug&play home recording purposes if you ask me. If I had some flexible tube preamp like Marshall JMP1 I would possibly use it more often to get the Marshall sound right, but the use of the whole amp is an overkill IMO, unless you really want to record Marshall sound and nothing else. With Guitar Rig I can have all kinds of sounds on a very decent level. I agree that both things should be bought for different purposes, but what is the most important thing when spending you hard earned money is the USE of that gear. So think hard, and try to imagine if you would use the amp that often for live use and studio playing so you really need it. Also imagine if you really use that often a proper sound card+guitar rig+monitors system for audio recording. What you will use more often is I think what you should consider getting mate.

QUOTE (draftzero @ Feb 27 2009, 04:12 AM) Hehe... you're going the amp way.. i'm going w/ studio monitors... I'm getting the KRK RP6 pair... they also come with mic, cables, stands... 400 US bones. So do you guys know if Guitar Rig would work with this setup? Connecting Studio Monitors -> PodXTL USB-> Computer Or will i need to buy a Sound Card to use Guitar Rig? (was thinking 1212m) 1212 will take care of the input latency and good sound output while the power of your computer processor is used for Guitar Rig real time processing. You don't need POD for this setup but you can still use it if you like its sounds. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

As Emir said 1212m will take care of the latency and ensure that you hear what you play in real time. Also sound quality will be better. But Guitar Rig is using CPU for processing. Any dual core will do the job nicely. However when I transferred from Toneport UX1 to 1212m card, I did notice improvement in Guitar Rig performance. I can't say for sure if this has something to do with the new card, but it definitely feels like it takes a lot less to drive the Guitar Rig. I couldn't even use all the presets before if they had too many components, and now I can use all of them no problem.

QUOTE (draftzero @ Mar 11 2009, 06:01 AM) Just got my KRK Rokit 6 Pair... it also came with some additional accessories, 2 mics, cables, stands and headphones. $400 +shipping I AM SO HAPPY WITH IT! It sounds so much better than what i had before (frontman 15) clears come in crystal w/o any hiss or noise... only thing i don't like about em is that you have to turn em off manually (each one)... i remedied this by hooking everything up to a powerswitch... Thanks to everyone for there inputs... especially you IVAN THANKS! That's a great piece of gear man!! Glad you got it!! May it serve you well!
