Pyro Paper Planes Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Komplete is a delicious choice for that kind of music, and so is Omnisphere. The way I see it is, Omnisphere has MORE OF what you're looking for, while Komplete has what you're looking for and a bunch of stuff you might NOT be looking for. That's exactly my thoughts. The bonus with Komplete is the expansions out there, but it's more expensive. Anyway, thank you for time and patience. Same goes to you, Rozovian. I suppose in the end, I'll try and save up for both of them. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Just so I don't have to make a new topic about it. I'm interested in upgrading once I get money for it and Transient Master is actually what I'm more excited for in that package, but why does the effect run in Guitar Rig? Isn't it supposed to be used for drums and even some master mixing? Do you just put Guitar Rig then in the master and put up Transient Master or how does that work?

Kanthos Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Guitar Rig is becoming a general-purpose effects rack with all the extra stuff; it doesn't have to be used for guitar effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Then why is it still called Guitar Rig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Because the core product and effects are aimed mainly at guitarists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannthr Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Guitar Rig is not batch-able, which is a problem specifically for game audio professionals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 What do you mean by batchable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorax Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 What do you mean by batchable? I think they mean it can't be operated via .bat files, nor can it be converted into .bat files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannthr Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 In games, you deal with non-linear assets that are compiled into a pool of music, sound-effects, and dialog. If you wanted to use GuitarRig, say, as a creature effect on a piece of dialog, and your creature had say 1,000 lines of dialog, efforts, and expressions, then you would enjoy a headache applying the effect in a DAW and then editing out and exporting each sound individually. In games, you need to be able to apply an effect sometimes to thousands of files at a time and you need plug-ins that support that feature. Most VSTs do fine with that. Guitar Rig, for whatever reason, does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 It's like batch converting with VST's. Yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar Rig, for whatever reason, does not. Can't do it with something like WaveLab? Alternatively you could concatenate all the WAV files in one linear track with silence in between then use WaveLab or Waveknife to re-split them after processing the one big file.

Well, to be fair, I only tried it in Sound Forge, and I find auto edits/auto crops to be pretty crude. Have you had luck doing this in Wavelab? Anyway, my point is that GuitarRig, as cool as it is, not necessarily a great all-around-fx plugin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Biznut Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 OP chiming in, managed to score Komplete 8 (sub-ultimate) for 450. I'll sell some dj gear / save up for the next go round of the CCC sale. It seems to go round once a year, and with Christmas coming, I'm crossing my fingers.

Scrap McNapps Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Komplete 8. Just with Kontakt alone you can be set because of the librarys available for it. Vir2 SONiVOX Sample Logic Heavyocity They all got something for Kontakt and they are just dope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSO Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I've read close to 50 reviews about bad customer service from EastWest. plus 50 bucks extra for the ilok? no thanks. Komplete for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
