Well so much for that.

I pulled out one of my acoustic-electrics to try the amp simulation software.

I installed the PG version of Amplitube and could not get it working with my Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. It would work with the onboard RealTek but the latency was horrid.


So I tried to run Guitar Rig 4 as a stand alone (I've used the Sonar plugin from time to time). I was playing around with the driver settings to see the different latency values and suddenly the Saffire Mix Control Reported "No Hardware Connected". I shut down GR and Rebooted the computer. Still no Saffire. I tried several other thing, but the only thin that put everything back to right was a to run system restore point from a few days ago.

So goes my trial with software so far. I'm thinking hardware may be more reliable.
