My Guitar Rig Session USB audio interface



I bought this USB audio interface because it is super versatile, lightweight, portable, all-in-one... and this is the famous Guitar Rig Session I/O by Native Instrument.  After I failed with the USB guitar lead, I’ve searched for and bought the right one, the perfect one and I was also lucky to buy a bundle set to start my planned home recording using a laptop.

After ordering online, it finally arrived and I opened the box, and these were the contents of Santa's gift to me last 2009 xmas, the Guitar Rig Session I/O.  Included inside are the hardware itself, a USB lead, CD installer for Guitar Session plus bonus softwares, Guitar Rig 4, Pop Drums and KORE player and especially added recording software Cubase LE4, which until now I haven't used because apart from I don't know how to use it, this one is sort of a demo version so there's nothing much in it but just a taste of what is Cubase and I need to purchase the full version.

Key Features:  The hardware got 2 mono line/mic inputs with two separate volume control which also can be customized as stereo for left and right channels plus a line/instrument switch or commonly known now as Hi-Z or Low-Z button.  Monitor/earphone output with independent volume control and balance knob for L/R or 1/2 channel. Optional 48V Phantom power for mic input, the switch or button is located at the back of the hardware.   Stereo output, left and right channel also located at the back.
I have installed all the softwares but as I've said the Cubase LE4 didn't work for me.  Guitar Rig 4 is awesome, couldn't say much but try and buy and explore, sound quality is as good as it gets. Real amp sound as well as effects.  Kore Player, I don't have the controller for this one but I got a MIDI keyboard and have tried this one, it is excellent.  Again sound quality is superb.  Pop Drums, also great but not impressive, I can say helpful for what I needed at the moment.  Native Instruments...... Well done.

EnergyXT comes with a flashdrive

EnegyXT comes with a portable drive or what we call flash drive.   In there are necessary files to run EnergyXT to any computer from a desktop or a laptop or a netbook as long as you got access to USB. The files that we need to copy are: clips presets projects samples temp\ energyXT2.exe energyXT.ini lame.exe libaam.dll xt.lck     energyXT2 VST.dll      energyXT.ini And paste these files in the program files with your folder EnergyXT then create a desktop shortcut or copy the shortcut onto your desktop.   The more you update your EnergyXT the more files will be included like rexloader, etc. You can now hop from one computer to another always make sure to keep your flashdrive safe and secure. This is what Im doing now, from Dell Inspiron to Sony Vaio to my wife's HP mini.  Really portable and handy.

Subtle Culprits - new band to follow this 2015

I recently formed a group called Subtle Culprits. It was pure luck to meet all these awesome musicians. It all started with JoinMyBand.  I was desperate for a vocalist and do some acoustic duo so I posted on JoinMyBand as well as Gumtree some ads that Im interested for a vocalist to collaborate with and that Im based in Romsey. There were people who showed interest i.e. emailed me and contacted me. There was one as well who came and visited for an audition. I really admired her voice but still didn't work out because it took me awhile to contact her back after that audition due to moving houses. Anyways, she did not reply or show any interest after that. So, I continued trying my luck. The first one to join was Dan. He got interested because we are from the same area (Romsey). So he messaged me and said that he is a songwriter and a musician. Can play guitar but much comfortable with the bass. So we arranged a meetup and chat, and we did. Exchanged some ideas and songs online...
