Me, too, except I don't have a good tracking room so I will STILL use a virtual instrument.

True, But for much of my use of that Guitar as a guitarist it is not classical in the true sense, use it alot for the tone and finger picking so to speak rather than plec

Is NI still giving the "useless" $25 vouchers with a Komplete Purchase?

[Mark Morgon-Shaw]

The real thing is better but not everyone has one or can play ☺️

Yes….I joked about collecting about $400 in vouchers I can’t use over the years

I think you might be surprised how good they sound -  I have the other session guitarist instruments and they sound amazing.

I skipped Komplete 13, but I guess I'll start saving for Komplete 14 then

For nylon guitars I wouldn't get them from London, for me Spain is "the place to go"

When I was in my 20's I had a 50th Anniversary Averez Yiari Classical Guitar.  I was dating someone,
and one of her kids fell on it and destroyed it.  I wasn't happy, but was remarkly calm and said "accidents happen"...

Wonder what that would be worth now?

The quality of this series is absolutely stunning. Unless you are a seriously excellent player you will get results that are beyond what you can achieve yourself, INHO…and then there are the mics, the recording space etc.

Track we recorded a while back with permission from THE BLUE NILE. On it I used my Yamaha cg-110ce Classical I posted about above. It features from 2.36 on

That track and Album its on ( Colourtide - UNDERWATER ) was all recorded using CAKEWALK at the time. Classical through DI via ext Audio I/O

Of course no guitar virtual instrument can do what a real guitar and guitarist can do.  Not if they spent millions and a hundred years creating it.  It's too complicated.

Still, I have four guitars and there are definitely things I can do with the NI guitar libraries that I can't play myself, even though I have played for over 50 years.   Certain exotic voicings. Playing harmonics anywhere. But mainly, keeping in more steady rhythm.

Also, I have arthritis nowadays and am very grateful that I have all my guitar VIs.  As my skills decrease, I can keep going.  And I think that the fact that I know how to play guitar helps me get better results out of them.

I don't have a nylon, but my DAW is right next to the closet with our furnace and AC.  Even if I had a nylon string guitar, recording anything with a mic is not an option for me. 

I do have a steel string acoustic but  I'm not crazy about the sound of my pickup going into my DAW.   The NI strummed series sounds better than anything I can record with what I have.

Many Classicals inc the Yamaha cutaway I own has a built in Jack + small EQ / Vol panel, so mic'ing is optional. Instead tru a DI on Audio I/O

Yes this is the big irony ,  being able to play the actual real life instrument makes it easier to produce convincing virtual instrument results. It's the same with orchestral type sample libraries as well - a little real world experience can go a long way.  ☺️
