Agreed Steve. I love the sounds I was able to get out of the GR3 demo, when it worked. I don't think the fault lies entirely with Sonoma. I found GR3 to be buggy as all get-out - half the time it didn't work at all, the other half performance was spotty. It ate up my system resources to the point of lockup (even though I well exceeded the minimum system requirements on their website, and I had maybe one other app running at the same time, which I think would be a normal scenario), and that's for the plugin as well as the standalone version, I tried them both.
It really is a shame. I use Line 6 now, and I think GuitarRig has them beat hands-down as far as tones are concerned, but if I can't get their software to run on my system, it's not much use at all. I know a lot of other folks here on the forums have had the same experience.
However, there are others who say it works perfectly. Who knows. I just hope they'll come out with a version that's stable, competitive in price to what Line 6 offers, and works with RiffWorks. If they can do that, I'm sold.
