@@eDrumsInANutshell for bass I use either Abyss or some of submission audio’s basses. I was using djinn bass for a while, then umanski bass became my typical bass of choice lol. But abyss can slay as well as long as you get a decent amp sim to run it through like neural dsp parallax!
By listening, this is what I feel I got from it. For clean, archtop and telos blows the rest out of the water; they hsve better sensitivity to tonal details. For high gain, hydra stratus rogue serpent and telos are great providing the power for respective genres, and crunch telos and archtop cause it can pick up those nuanced tones. I think I really like the Telos cause it can do it all; its literally a swiss army knife guitar
My current issue is that I want to do a root+octave style power chord. This would be E3+E4 in this case so I put down an E3 in the midi piano roll and when I play the single note it will be played on the high A string 7th fret which I where I want it, great! The moment I add the E4 the problems start. When I do that the engine decides to play it on the low A and low E string, at the end of the fret board. This gets me a very undesirable tone and sounds awful. I've tried to mess with the force string option but no matter what I choose it keeps going to the low A and low E. I've tried different picking modes, fretting modes, hand positions, hand sizes, min and max preferred frets but nothing gets the notes to play in the place I want them. When I remove the E4 from the piano roll and only play the E3 it works flawless any time. I have no clue how to get Shreddage to behave as I want it to, does anyone have an idea?
THANK YOU for this!!! We all have different needs depending on the genre and sounds we're going for. For me personally? I'm down to Archtop vs Jipter. I love a thick tone like David Gilmour or Eric Johnson. Decisions! 🤓
None of the examples sound like real guitar playing. And it's NOT the instruments. It's midi programming done poorly. The instruments are awesome. When I first purchased your SRP (currently Serpent) guitar, I told my customer not to worry much about the sound quality of the demo and said that I was going to record real guitars through real rigs to make the tune sound awesome once he approves the arrangement. Guess what happened next. I wasn't able to surpass virtual guitar in any aspect. The real version didn't sound worse, of course. At the same time, it didn't sound any better compared to the "sample".
You could obviously get in depth and start automating stuff like bite, pick attack, picking mode, even offset of samples themselves or putting basically random notes between the gaps to add more dirt like reo does. But, trust me, average user is just going to automate the mod wheel and do a pitch bend down in couple of places lol.
@@misstress1928 very enlightening. Do you have a resource where I could learn better MIDI programming techniques for these guitars? Mine sound similar to these examples and I know they can sound better.
I have been waiting for someone to make this video for ages. I was tempted to make my own. THANK YOU!
You guys truly have the most fun to work with, versatile, and realistic virtual guitar selection on the market right now.
Hi, what do you use for bass? I am in the metal genre and lately grabbed the Hydra and I got the Abyss

@@StoriesOfSolitude Ah, ok.
Amp Sims I got just NAM and Amplitube5 or a free Ampeg.

That's a good assessment! I personally love the clean tones of Archtop and Telos as well. Our next guitars are going to expand things even further.

Dropbox link is down. I hope it could get updated.
How do you slide notes?

What effects and amp simulators do you use?
Sorry for the late answer, but the guitars have onboard AMP sims, so chances are they use those.
Hydra all the way!

Long story short, you need to improve midi programming to showcase your products the way they deserve.
While i think that he should have changed some velocities on different guitars, I don’t think that the majority of them sounds off in any way.
