Soundwise Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) This track was created with ISW Shreddage 3 Serpent library. Since many developers have announced their Guitar instruments/libraries summer sale, I decided to give it a try, using what I already got. Let me know what you think about it. Does it sound natural to you? Would you listen to this if you liked the tune, or would you rather look for real instrument performance?

PavlovsCat Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I think it's cool. Good job! As a (former drummer, pre injury), I like the sound of the drums and have to ask what you used. Also, it's cool to hear some of your music after seeing you around and interacting in the Deals subforum. I wish more regulars would share their music, as we've all interacted so much, and the reason we're here isn't merely a love for spending money -- it's a result of our love for music.

I bought it when it just came out and was offered with an insane discount. BTW, I wonder how drummers perceive drum libraries and virtual instruments. Which ones are great in your opinion?

I'm not in front of my DAW right now, but I love mixing and matching drums and cymbals in SD3. What surprised me the most out of my Toontrack libraries -- in a good way -- isn't even an SD library, it's a ezDrummer library. Custom Shop. Yes, it doesn't have the detail of an SD3 library, but for my purposes, a guy mainly playing just to attempt to play again, it's great. I think I'm probably going to pick up Alt Rock next sale. I like Indiependent. I like Avatar. I like the NY whatever it's called SD3. EZx Big Rock Drums is cool, but for bombastic rock drums. I actually like Kontakt Studio Drums a lot. One of the kits toms are tuned like I tuned my toms back in the day. I also like the NI Abbey Road Drummer libraries you can pick up for a steal used at knobcloud.com. I own AD2, but rarely use it because I mostly don't love the toms. Edited July 2 by PavlovsCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it, it's good enough for mockups and demos. I need to learn how to program virtual guitars to make them sound a little better than OK. As of now, extensive MIDI programming kills my creative impulses and inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Hi Andrea at Pettinhouse is busy developing a Guitar library that he says is more realistic - he posted the video below - I don't think he has released it yet but it might be interesting if he succeeds in making these Guitar libraries sound more authentic - without having to spend days trying to program them!!

Nigel Thanks, Nigel! This example shows a fairly simple rhythm, which can be mimicked with basically any decent rompler on the market, and NI Session Guitarist libs run circles around it. I'm seriously considering OTS Complete bundle, but the more I think about it, the more it becomes obvious, that I need to invest more time in practicing keyboard playing.

Alper Karamahmutoglu Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 First of all, congratulations, I like the idea and a balanced mix, İt sounds very close to natural but, I personally think that it would be great whether the same score should be evaluated with the real guitar/guitars. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I do like that SD2 Avatar.kit something so usable about it. Sounds OK here the bass is present without being overbearing. The mix generally is fine I can hear all the different voices in the soundstage, which appears well arranged. Worth a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
