Hey,
can anybody tell me a production were only virtual amps and IRs are used that sounds absolute pro ;-)
 
Considering the secretive nature of the majority of producers and audio engineers, I'm sure their are quite a few out their, especially in other genres of music, but you would never know because most keep their methods close to the vest if you know what I mean. Their is plenty of dance music that has what most would consider a "pro sound" that has been completely created ITB. As many have said - it's not the tools, it's the skills of the person using them (sure nice tools might help, but only to a point).
 
joey sturgis only uses POD, and is well known for getting great results from it. he's a member on this forum

some others like Josh wickman and brian hood have also got very professional POD tones on label releases
 
Devin Townsend - Ziltoid The Omnicient. I think it was POD and Drumkit from Hell

This. Also I wouldn't say the quality is "super pro" as stated in the OP, guitars are kinda dark (I'm almost positive even the bass is programmed? Sounds like it) and drums are just screaming Ezdrummer, but I think it actually fits the whole style and concept of the album perfectly, that album is pure perfection IMO
 
i made this one with podfarm and superior + slate.
im really satisfied with the results.

listen for yourself and decide wether it sound pro enough for your taste ;-)

also listen to meshuggah catch 33 - programmed drums, pod for guitars.
 
Even though Meshuggah use Line 6 stuff in the studio I reckon they still record through a 4x12 mike'd up.
 
Yep the Citrus is a emulation of a Orange AD30. Great for rock but not so much for metal. Though it's nice for blending in with the recto or other high gain models.
 
'Catch 33' by Meshuggah - the drums were programmed (Superior drummer methinks), guitars were POD.

As for other styles of music that don't necessarily lend themselves to that ultra-clean artificial sound as well as Devy and Meshuggah - I've read several times that Flyleaf's first album had programmed drums, and I seem to remember hearing somewhere that Evanescence's first major label CD did too.
