You gotta pay 26 bucks to be a beta tester for some crappy sim???



Those assholes should be paying YOU to test their lameass software.

you know homerecording.com should be paying me for my witty repartee but not once has anyone gone out of their way to point that out.

Paying to be a beta tester is a new one for me... I suppose other companies do it by calling their beta "finished" and then release patches as the "early adopters" (paying beta testers) report the bugs, though...

I don't much care/bother to DI guitar, with pods or anything (mic & amp only)...but for bass, find a decent FET based DI box (not a pod, just a DI)....and you will easily get good tones. It just works for bass guitar.

for bass, i use a sansamp bass di.

i always use the parallel out, tho, thru a real amp, and then blend it.


for guitar i use a palmer pdi-09.
works.

Tech 21/Sans Amp. Guitar or bass. The bass stuff is excellent, and the RBI has a loop so you could add say a compressor. You'll wonder how you survived without an RBI. The guitar stuff is good, and I am sure the next ones that come out will be amazing. Depending on what kind of tone you want for the music you are playing, the AMT preamp 'pedals' are awesome. Well, if that's the tone you want. Between the tech 21 character series and AMT you can't say getting a great and believable guitar tone is difficult.

Same here for my bass. I started using a compressor into a Tech 21 and my bass tracks jumped up at least 2 clicks in quality, maybe more. I only wish I would have done this at the start of my recording project, not near the end. I wont record bass without it now. But this is only because I am not really a bass player. I would think a professional bass player (Steely Dan quality) probably would not need teh compressor, maybe not the DI either....
