NI Guitar Rig 3

Tape Decks: Recording Guitar / Bass and Playing Along

GUITAR RIG 3 is ideal for sessions, practicing, and sketching song ideas! This is made possible through integrated, high-performance tapedecks with time stretching, pitch shifting and a convenient loop function.

Different uses for the tapedecks:

• Sketching song ideas: Simply record your guitar playing (as wav file) to the hard drive, so no idea gets forgotten.
  
  
• Accompany yourself: Play a few licks and riffs, loop a passage, and then play a solo over it!
  
  
• Play to loops and backings: Load a drum or instrument loop (for example guitar, bass, keyboard, complete play-along tracks, etc.) and play over that. You can even change the tempo and pitch independently of one another, which works great for pitching up a guitar lick while reducing its tempo at the same time! So you can get right to it, there’s a wide selection of play-along loops included (see below).
  
  
• Practice licks, phrases, and solos: With the integrated tapedecks you can do more than accompaniments: each loop can be played back faster or slower and pitched independently of tempo: load a difficult guitar solo and simply play it back slower (at the same pitch!) or put it in another key (with the same tempo!).

Tapedeck One allows for pitch correction of +/- 12 semi tones and independent tempo correction of +/- 50%. Play along your backing tracks in any pitch and tempo you desire!


Samples and Loops Included

You can play to accompaniments and drum loops right away, since GUITAR RIG 3 includes around 150 MB of sample loops for use in the tapedecks. The loops cover the categories "Backing Tracks", "Bass Loops", "Drum Loops", "Guitar Loops", "Keyboard Loops", "Synth Loops", and "Vocal Samples".

Plus you can load and play back other loops in MP3, WAV, and AIFF format up to 16-bit resolution (for example sample CDs, etc).
