If you're looking for realistic guitars, MusicLab is another option to add to the list.I have absolutely no idea what's up with the other reviews that are 8 to 10 stars-but I almost feel like they have to be from people in the cast of the movie or trolls. I sold String Studio VS-3 and slightly regret it though, because occasionally I could get some sweet cutting & piercing synthetic bow sweeps out of it that I've been unable to reproduce elsewhere, and sometimes a track just screams for that specific sound and there doesn't seem to exist a "close enough". The unpredictability and crackling sounds is what most puts me off from using AAS stuff, or I would probably use them more. There is also no real "init" preset just like there isn't a factory default for how a guitar is constructed, what kind of strings it uses, how and with what the strings are touched, and how the body resonates - so to "init" you essentially start with some arbitrary model of all those. Sometimes tweaking just one parameter slightly may turn an otherwise nice sound into a glitchy firecracker, and understanding what to tune and when comes with a learning curve. However the physical modeling implemented by AAS comes with some caveats, such as the possibility to model absolutely horrendous combinations of impacts, excitations etc., in other words you can create some ugly sounds with these instruments. But they also stand on their own as all the aforementioned instruments are capable of creating very aesthetic, lively and usable synthetic sounds. They can be used to layer with more realistic sounds as an additional spice or to glue them together in the mix. I have not owned Chromaphone but I'd imagine it to line up with the others with regard to "realism".īecause the sounds are synthetic and can be effectively purer than real instruments, they can be easier to fit into a mix or processed further without blowing up the spectrum. The synthetic sound is precisely the reason I like AAS stuff, like Strum GS-2 and String Studio VS-3. Yes, Strum GS-2 doesn't sound like a real guitar. But if you are ready to buy GS-2, you can make your mind up easily from downloading Swatches. In fact, I bet there is somebody here who would give you their copy of "Strum Session" because they don't need it. As this bundle is often given away free, you can also get it very inexpensively on KVR and other forums. There is also a cheaper version called "Strum Session" which sells in a bundle. There are often crazy sales on AAS expansions from online sellers like Time+Space. ĪAS also offers a lot of expansions, that are inexpensive and provide you with all kinds of guitar styles. I used to think Strum GS-2 was the best at doing this until some other instruments came along. There are many instruments that will let you set up a realistic picking pattern, but these instruments let you change chords on the fly in the middle of measures the way a guitarist does. The best picking ones are from ujam, Realitone, Native instruments, and in HALion-and this one.
As a guitar player for decades, in my opinion, the most authentic sounding ones are made by Orange Tree Samples and Ample Sound. I own a lot of guitar virtual instruments. You'll see that this is an instrument that is fun to play.

You can test out whether you'll like it (and all their instruments) by downloading their free Swatches player here. This is something you'll have to decide for yourself. While that isn't an issue with many of their instruments, there are some who feel that Strum GS-2 doesn't sound realistic to them. Which is to say that, unlike pretty much all the dozens of guitar virtual guitar instruments, it doesn't use real recordings (samples) of guitars. So the "list price" of AAS instruments and expansions are only used by people who are in a hurry or haven't yet figured this out.Īll AAS instruments are modeled. Maybe not all of the products in the store, but at least some instruments are on sale. I wouldn't worry about the "sale." AAS is on sale for 50% off almost six months of the year. In fact, I own almost everything this company has brought out.

I've owned this for a long time plus all of the expansions and like it a lot.
