Then I downloaded asio4all, which at first I had no idea how to use and it screwed up my music software's playback and set it at a fixed rate of over 90ms . Then to my accidental discovery I figured out how to use this program...muchly impressed as I could get latency as low as 2.2ms with no loss or crackles in the sound (but I set it to 2.7 just to be safe). Anyways I've had the demo of Native Instrument's Guitar Rig 3, a virtual guitar amp/cab sim and I was frustrated with the playback latency, whatever I played...the delay was sure to be far too noticable. But now it's in near perfect sync with my playing. I decided to you you guys some of the different tones and effects this wonderful software can bring. I might perhaps record a full song with this software, please enjoy my attempt at playing parts of songs which half you would know . Here's what I played parts of: - Song Of Storms - Temple Of Time Improv - Zelda Theme'ish - The Raising Fighting Spirit (Naruto) - FFVII Still More Fighting...2 bars? O.o - Heart Of Darkness pre-solo (Arch Enemy) - Divine Wings Of Tragedy (Symphony X) - Guitar Improv 1 - Guitar Improv 2 The audio is slightly out of sync, the sound is good because I recorded this on the computer while I recorded on my camera, took @#$! ages to cut out the bits I needed and applying the recorded audio to the video, but I'm happy with the final process.

Thank the !@#$% lord someone besides me likes Symphony X. It you want to listen to great prog rock, listen to Dream Theater, the technically, musically, melodically - everything-ly best band out right now. Their music is so beautiful, though try to avoid the vocalist's stuff - the pure music is best.

Your setup sounds really good. I didn't notice any crackles in sound or any static.

Great job with those little songs - I'd love to see more of the FFVII music if you can finish learning it.

Great job with those little songs - I'd love to see more of the FFVII music if you can finish learning it. I'm certainly well aware of Dream Theater my friend , and Liquid Tension Experiment consisting of Petrucci, Portnoy, Rudess and some bassist guy, and of course Mr Petrucci's solo album, gotta love Glasgaw Kiss ^-^. When I get better I'll definitely be learning some of their songs. Also I feel learning FF music may help improve my guitar playing, I've learned the decisive battle at 50% speed, just gotta get faster at a steady pace. I'm surprised that I could do so much with just a demo version of Guitar Rig 3, guitar goes straight into my audio interface then into guitar rig, it beats the sound quality of my amps any day.

Yes , I've tried 2 remix attempts of like 30 second demos but didn't get much feedback, but I will definitely be submitting something there in the near future!

Anyway, try doing Michael Romeo's Sea of Lies solo, it's hard but it's a good training; I'm working on it since... 3 weeks? Got close to the tapping part and some parts here and there. Logged

Thanks for that, lol I can't even play the riff to sea of lies at full speed, guess I've got a lot of practice to do .

Maybe the Temple of Time? Sixto is in a league of his own, there's no way I could match up to talent such as his...yet, but I could always try by myself perhaps. If I ever become known better at OCR maybe that could be a possibility, I shall make a topic soon listing all the songs I want to learn/remix . Logged

Well when I do actually make a remix of some sort I'll post the rough version here and there to see what needs improving on, the guitarists on ocr seem to know a thing or two about mixing in general. Anyways, I'm about to post a topic with all the tunes I want to remix and perhaps post rough mixes as I progress, stay tuned . Logged
