Great video. One of the biggest giveaways for these VST guitar sounds, is the release. For some reason, most programmers turn the release way up to high. So, the minute I install any of these plugs, I turn the release down really low. That increases the realism even if the samples are weak. This trick especially works for real Strat.
omg... I absolutely LOVE 3:42 - 4:18 It's so sick and "groovy"! lol How can you play _guitar_ so well on a _PIANO_!? AND LIVE. Dude, you're incredible. I wish that was a full song.
NOTICE: the problem in strawberry electric at 2:18 exists because by default in this library there is a legato when you play 2 notes whitin a range of a second major. You can change this by going to setup (the last tab on the right in the main page) and set legato range to disabled
Lol. I think I would be harder on myself if I made my own samples. "Oops, sorry, you can hear my cat meow when you hit F# at a velocity between 50-70."
Hey bro, i'm looking for a plugin to emulate a specific guitar sound, if i put the link with some part of the song, can you let me know if i can make that with of the three guitar that you show here on this tutorial?
I've owned Strawberry for years but only tend to use it for some background of picking. The way you play is fantastic and I'll be looking out for some playing tips. 👍
Love your videos... I wish I could see your hands playing the keys (maybe on a smaller screen shot, on the corner). Just to get an idea on how you are doing the techniques.
Interesting & useful. Thanks. I have AGF and some of the other Ample guitars. I like them a lot. Also, I have NI's Strummed acoustic & AAS' Strum GS-2 which I also like. These libraries are so helpful when you don't know which end of the guitar to use, let alone remembering if it is the string side or the back side! If HD space, money & time were no object then I'd get all of these as I've read good things about musiclab & Orange tree.
Excellent stuff. Strawberry guitar sounds gorgeous, probably the nicest sound among the 3...at least from what you auditioned in the video. Frankly, your ability to play keyboard like a guitarist is what sells all 3. You really should do a separate video showing how you play, and what tricks/methods you've learned to simulate a live sound. For instance, the riff you play at 5:33, I see you're using a muted articulation in between the notes which the kontakt player has in the lower register, but are you literally playing those 16th notes with your left hand or is there another way? I'll kick in $50 towards your camcorder if/when you decide to do it. Standing offer. If nothing else, filming your hands while you play for future videos would go a long way. As far as the VSTs, since I pretty much only use acoustic guitars, Ample makes the best product for my money...especially when you factor in the strumming capability. Full tab performance is always nice too, as every articulation is recognized in Ample. But as someone else mentioned, it's more of a programmer's dream tool as opposed to something taylored for live performance. It can take days and days to program a convincing performance.
There's some good sounds in there and I think you were right that while all of them aren't completely realistic, in a band setting you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.. Some of it did sound like John Lord riffing on his keys though. (see Purple, Deep). Try Scarbee's Funk guitar for your funk needs.
Lol, at 8:55 when you played that overdrive note with AGF it sounded so much like the first part of one of those industrial metal songs from some old FPS game I actually expected that song to to start playing for a second. I'm not sure which game, I mostly just listen to the music now... Quake series maybe?
I cannot find the first guitar ANYWHERE... is there anyone who can help? I have the Strawberry guitar however I'm assuming as it is a newer edition the storyteller is not included? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Ruben and awesome content!
Storyteller is just a preset. The samples are the same, but the presets have different amp/fx settings. I too was really upset when I downloaded the update and realized it wasn’t there. It was such a beautiful sound.
I am interested in producing southern rock and country guitar....Is there any guitar plugin out there for FL studio that has a realistic pitch bend feature to get a twang and bendy feel, WITHOUT my having to use an external MIDI controller?
Hi Adriel, I like the funk extension, but I don’t use it that much. It solved an issue I had with the first one, which didn’t have a nice attack like RealStrat. I think real strat is versatile, even though the sample depth isn’t as natural sounding as AGF Funk. So the RealStrat is superior in functionality, but not in sound quality. It’s a toss up. If I were to just choose one for background stuff, I would choose RealStrat. For more detailed playing like solos and fingerpicking stuff, I’d choose AGF.
You're wondering why it isn't snappy with Star time button set to 0 ms? This is an older video so maybe you figured it out by now, for playing live you should set the start time of the samples to 30-35 ms for only 15-20 ms delay on the samples. Otherwise you have 50 ms delay on notes and ofc that sucks when you play live. Record a note and take a look at the wav file. They have 50 ms delay before the actual sound of the note starts. That 50 ms is filled with noises from the pick touching the string and only after that the string vibrates and makes actual sound. Every sampled guitar library has this, but AS went a little too far if you ask me. For example Orange Tree and MusicLab went only for 15-20 ms delay and that's pretty much not noticeable. But it's ok for AS as long as you can set the delay however you want it from the START knob. If the delay was 0 then it will feel like you're playing a piano, so you gotta have some delay between key press and the actual sound.
+Daniel Raduinea Yup, I figured that one out. There is a lot to learn with MIDI and sampled libraries. It's easier when you can actually see the sample wave, so it's easier to see why there is a delay.
+hifimidi Indeed! It's an ongoing experience with midi and these sampled libraries. Btw thanks for making these videos. I was trying to find out how the AME guitar sounds out of the box (the clean samples) and your review is the only one showing that believe it or not. Not even Amplesound videos show the clean samples.
Daniel Raduinea By the way, AmpleSound lets you try their sample libraries (all of them) for 7 days if you email them and ask. After 7 days, the plugin disables.
+hifimidi I own AGG so i know all there is to know about their plug-ins. I was just interested in the samples and how AME sounds. I wasnt going to download and install 5 GB just for that. You'd think they have demos showing this, but no. I can't form an opinion based on the amplified sound, if that makes any sense :) I need to hear the clean samples. Anyway now thanks to you i found out all i wanted to know. Imo for metal Shreddage 2 is still king. Amplesound's electric guitar samples have an unusual attack to them, it's not realistic enough for my taste. It's like a metallic click that i can't fix with compressors or transient plugins. Shreddage samples are much richer and fuller to the point that im using it even for clean tones. To each his own i guess :)
Could anyone help me in selecting a basic, simple, not very expensive, but good sounding combination of software or hardware (maybe smth physical) for midi keyboard, - I'd love to play an electric guitar on a piano/keyboard. What studio/engine/library/or maybe all in one. Thank you in advance..
Real strat the problem with the plugin is the pick volume. Its only 1 sample and is too loud on default.Since the first transient its what define a sound to humans ...thats what we hear and judge the rest of the sound by that. Tip: Lower the pick to -10 , max up the alter samples, set the pick position to -5 that way the samples youll hear are more from the neck rather the bridge (unless you going for a "The edge " sound and select the lowest velocity mode. You'll get a pretty decent sound.
My Problem is to play "like a guitar" on a keyboard.. Has any of them assistance for that. Maybe like the Acoustik Guitars in the Kontakt Standard Library? Where you can hit an accord and it plays like an guitar? An Arpeggiator or-system or something else?
+Andreas Preuss Yes, the Amplesound guitar comes with different preset strum patterns you can customize as well. You can either play the chord or preset chords in their chord bank. I think RealStrat has that feature--not sure--I have never tried using it.
+hifimidi Yes, If I can play aas you, I don't need that :D The AmpleSound Guitar was my favorite Guitar-Sound yet, so I am happy, that you advise it to me ;) Maybe I can find a more specally video about that plugin. Thanks!
@andreas preuss @hifimidi is right on. Realstrat allows you to play like a keyboardist on the keyboard. just hold the chords you want and it will play the patterns. unfortunately ample is just one note holding to play chords.
been trying quite a while to get natural and real rock/punk guitar sound out of default logic instruments, mostly using arpeggiator, adding some extra layers, reverb etc.. Hardest part is getting that raw rock strumming, mostly it just sounds pretty robotic, so sometimes I'm just like well, fuck this shit and pick up real guitar :D But then again hitting notes perfectly and recording it all without mistakes is a whole another story..
I like using virtual instruments to replace the real thing on parts where the real instrument makes mistakes and I can’t re-record it. Otherwise, I’d encourage you to learn how to program strumming. Or learn how to edit takes and piece them together.
@@hifimidi I mean is it even possible to get that real guitar strumming while playing live on logic? That's the real question, it would be awesome to jam with just laptops, but still make it sound rock n roll.
That's not my area of expertise. It depends on the effects you put on. Hollow sounds thick and smooth w/o fx, but I imagine the strat and tele would have more bite, but can also be made to sound more mellow.
Hey Ruben. Thanks for replying. I talked to Greg from Orange Tree Samples and sent him some song examples. He advised me a telecaster so i am waiting on a new one he is working on. I already got the hollow and it sounds awesome but its too nasal. I was looking for something just as mellow but more clean. In the meantime if ample sound does some summer sale i will be purchasing their telecaster and the les paul as well. I should have gotten the les paul instead of the hollow. They both sound mellow but the les paul is cleaner. I will have use for the hollow as well when i do more jazzy stuff.
I was never all that impressed with how Realstrat sounded, the other 2 sound more real. Of course these are all going to fail in comparison to the guitar sample bank that I'M making! That is IF I ever get it finished.
All great. The problem with keybordists that play vst guitars is that they play like keyboard and do somethings that are impossble to do on guitar with just one hand.
Great vid, but i have a question. Is there anything out there that can make a midi file sound like a real guitar? Like some kind of guitar sound simulator (as opposed to something that shapes your tone as you actually play), that you can paste a midi file and have it sound real? I tab things out it guitar pro and plan on recording in a studio later, but i wanted something that could give me a really good authentic sounding demo without actually having to spend hours playing the guitar to get it perfect since I'll be recording the real thing in the future.
+5 o'Clock Somewhere I know that you can import Guitar Pro tabs into Amplesound's plugins and get a very realistic sound, but it depends on your standard of realism. Amplesound is by far the most realistic samples and engine I've ever used or heard.
Hi! Very good sound! 🙌🙌 These plugins are compatible with any midi controller? I’m new in this world and I’m just learning to use the software, I have a Akai MPKmini3! Thanks for the video! 🤘
Hi, hifimidi. I compose with Guitar Pro 6 and I would like to know if is possible to use Ampli sound to import all the articulations of my score with the tab and then using Strawberry evolution for the sounds. Thank you.
+eraldo di addario I have no idea. I know you can import tabs into the AmpleSound player to play through their plugin, but I don't know how you would then use Strawberry to trigger those same articulations.
Any advise on the vsts out of these three (or any other ones) bass wise and guitar wise for pop punk/hard rock? As well as what virtual amps and effects vsts would be good?
StarWarsftw12 I am messing with one called Shreddage 3 Stratus by Impact Soundworks. It is probably the most versatile and expressive guitar I’ve ever used. I’m going to review it this week. Stay tuned.
Greetings friend, your video was so interesting be cause i wan't to do some musica but i don't hace a recording device to use with my guitar, so i have a question: For styles like Melodic death metal like In Flames or Dark Tranquillity, industrial metal like Rammstein and progressive metal like Akercocke and Opeth, which of the 3 plugin i would use? Thank you so much forma your advice.
+mc v93 Use a real guitar player. Buy some equipment. You have to work your way out to make it. A virtual instrument would never replace a real guitar sound.
Stay tuned. I am going to post a video within the next couple of weeks about AmpleSound's AME guitar. I'm not a metal guy myself, but they made a metal guitar plugin just for that.
+Javier Torres while a virtual guitar can not give you the nuances of a real guitar, it can me just as fun and enough for what most people want to use it for. Buying gear is expensive if you're a hobbyist. Virtual guitars, if tweaked the right way, can pass for a real guitar.
+Bubbirock Guitar Rig is one, but I have recently started using Amplitude 4, and it is amazing (better than Guitar Rig, in my opinion). You'll have to spend more than $100 to start getting their really good stuff, though, since they have many amp, fx, cabinet, and mic models to choose from.
Very good Ruben!, congratulations. I was enchanted with your video. Thanks !!!. I have one questions, do you use a midi keyboard for playing (in your video) or use a midi guitar ?, thanks!. Perhaps some day you can show us your finger playing habilities in anohter video. Thank you a lot.
Absolutely. Since it is hosted in the Kontakt Player, you can use it in Cubase. As soon as I am on Christmas break, I will make a video of that. I promise. :)
+kiran phalke Yes. If you go into strum mode, there are preset strum patterns you can trigger by holding down certain keys. But you can also create your own strum patterns in the strum pattern window. I will be mentioning it in my next video. I am waiting for Amplitude 4 to come out so I can do my review of AmpleSound Eclipse.
Hi There's just one thing I don't get. Can you use the tones/effects in these plugins with an actual guitar, or can you only use them with a midi keyboard? Thanks in advance
If you're talking about a guitar sample library with built-in effects like AmpleSound AGF, then no. But if you're talking about 3rd-party effects like GTR3 from Waves or IK Multimedia's ampltitube, then yes. You have to have some type of audio interface to recieve the line signal from your guitar, which gets sent to your computer to be processed within the program. I recommend Amplitube 4 by IKMultimedia.
I think Strawberry would be able to fool me if played well, but RealStrat just made me laugh. It sounds nothing like a guitar, and it doesn't good period.
Great video. One of the biggest giveaways for these VST guitar sounds, is the release. For some reason, most programmers turn the release way up to high. So, the minute I install any of these plugs, I turn the release down really low. That increases the realism even if the samples are weak. This trick especially works for real Strat.
Kevin Reeves agreed. Strawberry in particular sounds great but when I hear solos, the release time has to be set low or it sounds too keyboardey.
This is such an inspiring video! I'm 16 and struggling from lack of inspiration. Great exploration of amazing plug ins

gotta say the strawberry evolution sold me !
I didn't realize until the end that this was a home review. I thought it was the maker doing a self-deprecated honest review.

Thats A man Who Really Know How To Play... (y) Awesome M8 SUBBED
Great vid, but i have a question. Is there anything out there that can make a midi file sound like a real guitar? Like some kind of guitar sound simulator (as opposed to something that shapes your tone as you actually play), that you can paste a midi file and have it sound real? I tab things out it guitar pro and plan on recording in a studio later, but i wanted something that could give me a really good authentic sounding demo without actually having to spend hours playing the guitar to get it perfect since I'll be recording the real thing in the future.
+5 o'Clock Somewhere I know that you can import Guitar Pro tabs into Amplesound's plugins and get a very realistic sound, but it depends on your standard of realism. Amplesound is by far the most realistic samples and engine I've ever used or heard.
Hi! Very good sound! 🙌🙌 These plugins are compatible with any midi controller? I’m new in this world and I’m just learning to use the software, I have a Akai MPKmini3! Thanks for the video! 🤘
Hi, hifimidi. I compose with Guitar Pro 6 and I would like to know if is possible to use Ampli sound to import all the articulations of my score with the tab and then using Strawberry evolution for the sounds.
Thank you.
+eraldo di addario I have no idea. I know you can import tabs into the AmpleSound player to play through their plugin, but I don't know how you would then use Strawberry to trigger those same articulations.
im looking for a guitar vst that sound like The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower do you know a vst or to kontakt5?
Any advise on the vsts out of these three (or any other ones) bass wise and guitar wise for pop punk/hard rock? As well as what virtual amps and effects vsts would be good?
StarWarsftw12 I am messing with one called Shreddage 3 Stratus by Impact Soundworks. It is probably the most versatile and expressive guitar I’ve ever used. I’m going to review it this week. Stay tuned.
very good review.. thanks
you sound like randy marsh
Thank you?
haaaaaaaaaaaa
great overview though
This joke made me laugh 4 years after
lmaoooo
😂😂😂😂😂😂 (or Trey...😄)
Greetings friend, your video was so interesting be cause i wan't to do some musica but i don't hace a recording device to use with my guitar, so i have a question:
For styles like Melodic death metal like In Flames or Dark Tranquillity, industrial metal like Rammstein and progressive metal like Akercocke and Opeth, which of the 3 plugin i would use? Thank you so much forma your advice.
+mc v93 Use a real guitar player. Buy some equipment. You have to work your way out to make it. A virtual instrument would never replace a real guitar sound.
Stay tuned. I am going to post a video within the next couple of weeks about AmpleSound's AME guitar. I'm not a metal guy myself, but they made a metal guitar plugin just for that.
+Javier Torres while a virtual guitar can not give you the nuances of a real guitar, it can me just as fun and enough for what most people want to use it for. Buying gear is expensive if you're a hobbyist. Virtual guitars, if tweaked the right way, can pass for a real guitar.
That AGF Ample sound :O
I don't use Logic, I use Fl Studio. Do you know if there is any similar vst to GTR? Maybe GuitarRig by Native Instruments?
+Bubbirock Guitar Rig is one, but I have recently started using Amplitude 4, and it is amazing (better than Guitar Rig, in my opinion). You'll have to spend more than $100 to start getting their really good stuff, though, since they have many amp, fx, cabinet, and mic models to choose from.
Peavey Revalver 4 Looks amazing
You'll be putting out some more ?? Hey Hey !!!!!! I just came here to here plugins man !
Very good Ruben!, congratulations. I was enchanted with your video. Thanks !!!. I have one questions, do you use a midi keyboard for playing (in your video) or use a midi guitar ?, thanks!.
Perhaps some day you can show us your finger playing habilities in anohter video. Thank you a lot.
Can strawberry evolution be used with cubase? And pls kindly do turorial videos on how to play a guitar on keyboard, you re blessed bro!!
Absolutely. Since it is hosted in the Kontakt Player, you can use it in Cubase. As soon as I am on Christmas break, I will make a video of that. I promise. :)
hifimidi did you post it yet?
AGF Ample Does it have the patterns like Real guitar
+kiran phalke Yes. If you go into strum mode, there are preset strum patterns you can trigger by holding down certain keys. But you can also create your own strum patterns in the strum pattern window. I will be mentioning it in my next video. I am waiting for Amplitude 4 to come out so I can do my review of AmpleSound Eclipse.
where can i download？
Can you do an acoustic guitar comparison?
Brandon Forte' that’s on my to do list.
any good les paul samples libraries? also, can these do harmonics??

Hi
There's just one thing I don't get.
Can you use the tones/effects in these plugins with an actual guitar, or can you only use them with a midi keyboard?
Thanks in advance
If you're talking about a guitar sample library with built-in effects like AmpleSound AGF, then no. But if you're talking about 3rd-party effects like GTR3 from Waves or IK Multimedia's ampltitube, then yes. You have to have some type of audio interface to recieve the line signal from your guitar, which gets sent to your computer to be processed within the program. I recommend Amplitube 4 by IKMultimedia.
Thanks!! Just got a midi to use all these awesome effects xD
I think Strawberry would be able to fool me if played well, but RealStrat just made me laugh. It sounds nothing like a guitar, and it doesn't good period.
With some tweaking and lots of instruments over it, you can almost get away with it. Haha. Definitely not my "go to" plugin.
try ample guitar ..the best
"it doesn't good"
Hello! how can I download free ample guitars? I need a help
