Rammfire of 
not a wall, a wall of guitars. usually do my reviews in the comfort of home without second opinions, but this time I decided to open a little game and invite my colleague Carlos Martin to accompany me with your opinion about this new product from Native Instruments. He is a profound knowledge of the band - Rammstein - referred to Rammfire and so it seemed wise to take into account their views.
Of course, most of the comments are my responsibility but it's great the view of Charles and the sound of the Yamaha "Low D" ready to annihilate the enemy with the attack of their mics.
Rammfire approach stems from the Native Instruments team to guitarist Richard Z Kruspe. Kruspe is a specialist, an expert who knows the sound of your amp Mesa Boogie, with whom he has been playing since 1992. Time ago, after working with an earlier version of Guitar Rig, the guitarist said that emulation Gratifier - just your amp - included in Guitar Rig, not sound right.
Far from rejecting the contrary view - a traditional custom of the Argentine government (sorry for this offtopic words) - Native designers approached the guitarist to propose working together to create a good product. The result is Rammfire, one of the latest developments of Native Instruments, submitted for Guitar Player and Guitar Rig 4 Rig 4.
Native designers took care to model each component of the sound studio and Kruspe, whose elements are the following: Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier amplifier (1992), two speakers from 4 x 12 ", one of them also in 1992 whilst the M149 and Telekunken Neumann U47 (two mics were mounted on to control two robots distance (control room) the position of each mic in front of the speaker, with absolute precision preamplifier finally concluded AMS / Neve 1081.
All elements were modeled, capturing different microphone positions and assignments, working with both speakers , and arranged in the brilliant form of Guitar Rig Control Room 4. With this resource, the user can select and adjust the volume and pan eight variations created with the two mics and two speakers used. If you were looking for possibilities of control and changes in timbre, here they are. Presets
The vast majority of the presets included are presented using Control Room, but also found others that use only some of the acoustic guitar cabinets, and no shortage of programs that also use processors own Guitar Rig 4 such as Electric Lady, Psichedelay, Ensemble, Stomp Compressor, among others.
In total, we found 30 presets are divided into two categories called Guitar and Guitar RZK. The first contains 21 programs, and the remaining 9 in the second section.
course, the included programs are designed to offer a wide range of possibilities, which also expands when the user alters the controls of the amp or preamp channels available.
Sound Shocking, powerful, pervasive, overwhelming, are some references for both rhythm guitar to lead sounds. But all is not distortion, we also found some programs bathrooms Chorus, Phaser, Delay and Reverb, processing with EQ, compression, among other processors, specially designed to combine the best for different fragments of the song. We
processing sounds simple - a single channel - and other dual-processing where the left and right channels provide different sounds. Conclusion
After working for a couple of hours touring the presets included, and a few hours later, editing assignments on the same track recorded to see what offered the program, concluded that Rammfire is a tool that will convert the tracks bulldozers into real guitar sound.
rings offer many programs that combine different tracks to get a wall of sound. However, Control Room opportunities open many more avenues of sound that the user can go to find just what you want.
