I am fully vested in the AmpleSound workflow. I've used all of their acoustic instruments. But I needed a mandolin so I got the OrangeTree Acoustic Bundle. I posted a rant about their mandolin here. After that, I didn't really bother with the rest of their acoustic instruments. So I can't really compare the two very well. That being said, I am quite happy with the sound and programmability of the AmpleSound acoustic instruments. I am a guitar player, not a keyboard player, and everything I can do on an acoustic instrument I can do on the AmpleSound instruments. I do NOT use it live. I program the MIDI in my recordings. I do not have a tracking room quiet enough to record my acoustic instruments, so I reverted to MIDI - sometimes using Melodyne to convert my (noisy) recorded guitar to MIDI (keeping the dynamics and timing but losing articulations that I have to manually put back in). I can recommend AmpleSound without hesitation. OrangeTree may be very nice. I just can't say. However, with this sale I can fill in some gaps that OrangeTree provides. I'm looking at the Slide bundle, Rick 12, Rick Bass, and the Sitardelic for that 60's-70's psycho vibe. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fleer 8,086 Posted July 1, 2021 For me it’s the other way around. Couldn’t gel with the AmpleSound engine. Too quirky for me, but that’s just me of course. OrangeTreeSamples all the way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christian Jones 978 Posted July 1, 2021 I'm just gonna do Bass Pear for $23 since it goes down to D and C. Or I might drop out. If that happens and you guys are stuck at a stubborn 1499, get in touch with my people and plead with them for my return 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abacab 5,095 Posted July 1, 2021 OK, so a question for those that already have an Orange Tree collection. What is the one OTS item that you could not live without? I'm a first timer, and have already added one item, that appeared to be most useful for me, to hold my spot in line. I already have ujam Carbon and Sparkle guitars, the ujam Dandy bass, as well as the Ample Metal Ray 5 bass. I got all of these on sale. So I think I could use a versatile all around electric guitar, and/or maybe a good acoustic. I like the Ample Bass, but the ujam guitars seem a bit limited. Plus the ujam full retail asking price is a bit steep. And I agree with Fleer on the Ample engine. The samples are great, but the UI takes a bit of effort to decipher.
