"I use Guitar Rig a lot to process a whole host of things, not just for distortion but every type of modulation really, it's actually my favorite reverb as well, one of the verb units within it, so I use that a lot." Original Q&A found [here](http://www.fxpansion.com/index.php?page=12&tab=58&showartist=145&xmode=singletab).

Russell Lissack on Native Instruments Guitar Rig Pro Software: "Guitar Rig is amazing, the possibilities are endless - it has reinvented the way I look at the guitar." (original source [here](http://www.native-instruments.com/en/komplete-professional-instruments-and-effects/artists/)).

"But I'll tell you what I started doing about two years ago, is recording DI and using software guitar amplification, primarily because I thought if I put in a performance that's a once-in-a-lifetime performance on this particular song, I'm going to want to keep it. And I don't trust doing it here at home. But if I record it direct, it'll sit there in the session and then when we get to a real studio and we've got the real band recorded with microphones and a big room, we can re-amp that performance, and re-record it. And that's what we did quite a bit for the [Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards](https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/black-swans-wormhole-wizards/id389927796) record. There are quite a few songs that I had recorded using [SansAmp](http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/classic.html) or [Guitar Rig](http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/producer/guitar-rig-5-pro/), but they were all recorded DI. I would monitor those software patches at home, and then when we got to [Skywalker](http://www.skysound.com/), we either used a combination of those software guitar patches, or we would send the DI out into Marshall amps and different speakers and mic them anyway we want based on what we had captured from the band."

“The basic function of Guitar Rig is emulating amps and recording setups for guitars - basically it’s a recording studio for your software guitar sampler/synth. But it really gets interesting when you start using it on heavy bass, chords and lead lines, with its huge number of unique built-in distortions, filters, reverbs and much more.

"The sets nothing crazy. I just use Ableton Live, an APC 40 and a bunch of effects, VST’s to tweak s*** up right away and I use some separate channels besides the two track channels. I’m using three of four channels with like, percussions and hi hat loops and stuff like that like shakers and vocals samples and then I play that over and I try to rearrange the arrangement when I play it live, but nothing too crazy. And then of course he (points to Ales) plays guitar over through Ableton and through Guitar Rig. So… yea, we have fun."
