    Not being a guitarist myself, but having most of my songs sit in guitar-based styles, I've used many virtual guitars over the years, and I currently have all the MusicLab Real series instruments, most of the NI Session Guitarist series, all the UJAM VG series, most of the Acoustic Samples guitars, Chris Hein Guitars, and a few others. My current favorites for playing tend to be the Acoustic Samples Telematic (and also their GD-6 and Sunbird for acoustics), the NI Picked Acoustic (and Electric Vintage and Sunburst Deluxe, though I tend to prefer Telematic over Electric Vintage for Tele), and some of the Real series, depending on the sound needed. UJAM VG-CARBON is also super fun when the musical style fits. Strummed parts are the toughest ones, though, and I mostly end up using UJAM (especially AMBER) and the NI Strummed Acoustics for that. If I'm doing parts with mixed playing and strumming, I'm more likely to go with the Real series. The really nice thing about the Acoustic Samples instruments, though, is how easy they make it for a keyboard player who is at least somewhat used to emulating guitar playing on a keyboard to sound more realistically guitar-like without having to deal with lots of keyswitches. I have to say, though, that I was especially impressed by the Ilya Efimov Nylon in this video. Might have to check that one out if I need something better on the nylon front in the future (I mostly use RealGuitar for that these days).

  • @georgetheta

    The efimov is impressive... Usually it needs to much work and time to make a virtual classical guitar to sounds like a classical guitar, but, this one, is a gift. I'm going straight to watch your other video about "how to create realistic guitars".
    Thanks and Happy Easter!

    Dom I love the Taylor and Martin of Ample Sound. Listening to them very intently shows that this company have painstakingly sampled every strings and frets. Like for example an open A string is different on 5th fret A. That is a great sampling. Some brands doesn’t have that detailed sampling. Love this episode Dom. May I request a part 2, 3, 4, 5 and so forth😁. More power to your channel Domenico Sigalas👏👏👏👍👍

    The nylon guitar sounds fantastic, along with your playing (which adds to the authenticity of the samples). The free version of the Ample Martin acoustic guitar is also very nice. The free version doesn't have as many options for tweaking the sound or playing parameters, but it's still very playable.

    Great tutorial and playing! I've had, since a while, Real Guitar 5 for acoustic and Vir2 Electri6ity for electric guitar, with Amplitube 5, and I'm surprised not to see any of these in your gallery since when I purchased them I thought they were n.1 respectively. Vir2 was expensive, but with time I also understood that I needed more sounds for different genres, and Electri6ity has 8 guitars. For instance I like to double guitars hard panned, but with different guitars, and I suffer that, for acoustic, I only have Real Guitar (that has a doubling option but it's the same sound). In your video I fell for Ilya Efimov guitar. As a keyboardist, I also purchase guitar loops (e.g. Ueberschall) and in the leisure time I exercise myself to match those with the sampled instruments I have. I then may expand the part playing the sampled guitar and keep the original loop in the refrain.

  • @antyhingforeverythingnew6285

    Efimov is my favorite…user friendly interface. Key switches are adequate and up to purpose. Position key switches are so useful as well. Only problem about is vibrato control and lower voices do not sound that much realistic. But there are some tricks to solve these for sure. Anyway, all these libraries should always be used and considered for a realistic demo to avoid a jobless future for music world.

    My faves of what you showed are the Amplesound. Outside of what you showed, Orange Tree Samples electric guitars are my favorites, especially their “evolution rock standard” and “Evolution stratosphere”. They have amazing built-in effects and great playability. My favorite acoustic is the “Nylon sky“ which is a “sonic extension“ for Omnisphere ... truly incredible, but expensive if you don’t already own Omnisphere.

    • @jacobskywoker1240
      @jacobskywoker1240 Рік тому

      Most importantly the orange tree libraries support hammer ons and pull offs on adjacent strings.
      Which is unrealistic but when playing live or tracking, it sounds very very good. Afterwards you can automate the fretting position to make it realistic.
      With ample sound you are stuck with a fretting position unless you change it manually. HOs and POs won’t work if notes are not on the same string.

Both great guitarists, however in my opinion, compared to Al Di Meola ,the way Paco De Lucia plays is effortless, reminding me of Martha Argerich and Yuja Wang Chick Corea and
    Michel Camilo on the piano. They all have great musicianship and technique.

  • @freespirit-r9s
    @freespirit-r9s Рік тому

    Efimov has a very realistic sound. However, the Efimov doesn't seem to be good for classical guitar solos. Because Efimov's sound contains too much performance noise. In particular, the noise that rubs the skin of the thumb on the 4th, 5th, and 6th strings makes the sound unclear and gives a feeling as if an amateur is playing.
    So in the end I had to make my own guitar virtual instrument to avoid the Efimov noises. It was actually a lot of hard work, but I designed the interface (albeit amateurish graphics...), implemented the Reverb tabs, and programmed it internally to finally create a guitar virtual instrument with less noise. [Guitar virtual instrument that only I have in the world!]

    So far, the ones I'm using for my own practice are mainly Prominy V-Metal and SolemnTones Odin 2 with the help of AuralDSP plugins.
    My goal is to reach a type of SepticFlesh kind of sound - here again, Greek people are so amazing, aren't they ? *Wink wink*

    Ample Sound had the nicer, more realistic tones, for me. I have the free version and will now upgrade. Unfortunately, you tended to play keyboard-guitar style and patterns for all the guitars. So the electrics sounded nothing like a guitarist would play on a Tele, Gibson etc. Also the velocity/touch on higher notes/strings sounded unreal - too sustained. Whether that's settings, or your touch and letting go, you should know. Always love your vids/tutorials, so maybe a Part 2 would be good. Thanks.
