Re: OT: RME Firewire 800 and Guitar Amp Sim - Preamps

[Luca Formentini <luca@unguitar.com>]

Please don't take it as self promotion but I would like Kris to listen 
to "Su Me" or "with Mr. Lawson" and tell me if he finds a sterile and 
crappy tone in the guitars there.

I am sorry I can't put any tracks of the new album ( which is scheduled 
for release Oct. the 2nd) on line because there there is going to be a 
very wide assortment of different sounds made with the same system.
As I said in my first post, maybe I am crazy, but I am in love with the 
sound I can get going direct to audio card or with a preamp between the 
audio card and the guitar ( and no speaker emulators at all).

Anyway, to everyone its own, and to everyone the chance to set his own 
limits.

my best,
luca
