Tezza Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 In my search for an acoustic guitar VST, I came across this company but cannot find out much about there instruments, especially the acoustic guitar. Their version 2 of this which they currently sell seems to go back to 2009. I don't hear much of a mention of them around the place. Does anyone use these products? Are they any good? They also have an XMAS sale bundle on at the moment which seems to be still running. https://www.pettinhouse.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I have them but haven't touched them since I picked up the Orange Tree libraries which are outstanding.https://www.orangetreesamples.com/ Indiginus has superb libraries as wellhttps://indiginus.com/ https://indiginus.com/renegade_acoustic.html IMHO the Pettinhouse stuff isn't bad, but I was never really satisfied with it; but as they say YMMV.

Tezza Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Thanks, yes I like the renegade guitar, the GUI and the sound, the download size, the price is right as well ($100.00 AU). It's sitting at number one at the moment for my choice of Acoustic Guitar VST in the other thread. Have just sent them an email to find out the install/authorization procedure as this will determine if I can install it or not. I will decide which to buy on Tuesday. The Orange Tree samples are out of my price range unfortunately, $265.00 AU amongst other things I have to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have an XMAS sale bundle on at the moment which seems to be still running. https://www.pettinhouse.com/ Yes I got the bundle a few years back and also bought the V2 ClassicGuitar (Nylon Acoustic) upgrade when it came out. When I got it I quite liked mixing my own real acoustic guitar with the Pettinghouse Acoustic Guitar in pseudo 12 string stereo mode to create a nice wide jangly sound. The bundle does include a lot of reasonable instruments plus quite a bit of "filler" which I have never used. That said I have also purchased OTS, Indiginus, Ilya Efimov and others which as TheSteven says are better sounding. If given a choice now I would probably go with them instead of the Pettinghouse Bundle. FYI here's an example of me using the Pettinghouse Acoustic blended with my own acoustic https://soundclick.com/r/s8bbo4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezza Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Song sounds nice, can't tell what is programmed and what is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, yes it's an example of how blending real and virtual can give pretty nice results. I can do some isolated guitar tracks for you if it would help? The Pettinghouse guitar track on it's own sounds OK but unconvincing and it also cannot play the drop D which many newer virtual guitars can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcumpian Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I have several Pettinhouse libraries and use them here and there. I prefer the sound of the OTS libraries, but the Pettinhouse libraries fill a niche when they are needed. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezza Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Thanks man, really appreciate it, the strumming sound is about on par with my Kontakt Factory Akkord program and as you say does not sound that convincing, a long way away from the Indiginus demo's I've heard. I would say, strumming engine fail. In addition, the actual sound does not have that shimmering quality to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
