Modeling Software for Guitar?

Having had it to the eyes with the S/PDIF hardware incompatibilities between my J-Station and my recording system, I'd like to know if there are any software guitar modeling packages on par with J-Station or POD that I may use directly on my guitar tracks and dump the inefficient hardware modelers once and for all.

Thanks.
 
Why is your J-Station not compatable with your recording system?......

It has a 44.1KHz S/PDIF output and the SeaSound only takes 48KHz S/PDIF inputs.

Have you tried it?....with the proper cable(75ohm coaxial)?.....

If it doesnt work you can always go into the analog inputs.....

Yeah, I think so. I'm using the co-ax video cable that came with my Radeon VE AGP card. I've tried it and it _looks_ likes it's going to work, as it goes back through all the monitors and headphones and everything, but it doesn't record. I thought it was me until someone pointed me to a .PDF file on their website that says SeaSound's S/PDIF _only_ works with 48KHz inputs, though this information was not in the supplied manual. Sounds absolutely crazy to me, but it would certainly explain my problem.

Yes, but that's a dreaded A/D/A/D reconversion and I'm curous as to how badly it degrades the content. I also lose some precious extra channels that I'd get by using the S/PDIF rather than the line inputs, I think.

At this point, something appears to have gotten corrupted and I can't record _anything_, so I'm going to have to reinstall everything from a fresh format and start again.
 
Is your software set up to record from the S/PDIF?....

I think the converters on that card are decent enough that it wont kill the sound, but I see what you mean by inputs...I keep my J-Station plugged into the S/PDIF of my Delta Audiophile and my 2 channel DMP2 preamp in the analog input....I can record the J-Station and 2 mics simultaneously if needed, so sometimes i run the headphone out of the J-Station into my Kustom tube amp and mic that and blend the tracks......

Good luck and I hope this works out 4 u....
 
bongo,

I downloaded a section of the user's manual and I see that part that says "The SeaSound S/PDIF connectors only send and recieve S/PDIF digital audio at 48khz sampling rate" but I dont think that means you cant send a diferent sampling rate into it...it will probably just sample it up or down as needed...I think the SBLive does that also???.....

Since you are able to get the signal thru the card, Im assuming you can record it......

First make sure your software is set up to record from that input....

It says you have to configue the card inthe Solo-o-meter???..it suggests setting it to Normal Mode.....

Trying switching it to operate from MasterMode to Slave Mode....
 
wow! ReValver really rocks. If I didn't want to play life I wouldn't buy an amp, really. And the "rack-style" is also cool - this way I can plug my guitar into my combo amp and use it's pre while the rest is ReValver... cool, really. My amp's speaker-sim just isn't that great...
Just gotta get rid of that demo-version-beep.... ahhhh... couldn't anybody lend me 150 bucks?
