Which Guitar VST is Right For Me? 

I'm litteraly the market. I got ulnar nerve damage and cant hold the strings down anymore. Now I play with a seaboard on vst guitars, works out.

I'm the market I can play but ain't got no money for a Les Paul with the price now 😂

Thank you this and Pettinhouse are my biggest requests; they sound great and are SUPER budget friendly. Pettinhouse is run by a really nice guy who is super passionate about what he does and has come up with some ingenious functions.

@@Daring2Win yes, Pettinhouse plugin samples have that sand and micro imperfections that i really like, because that makes sound more realistic

@@Daring2Win I haven’t heard Pettinghouse in such a long time! I thought it went away. Maybe I should reach out.

@HIFIMIDI DEFINITELY. It's a small company from Italy (like a said, with a team of one, but the quality doesn't reflect that). You can literally buy their entire inventory for the price of two libraries from any of the major companies. They don't have a trillion articulations, but he utilizes some clever techniques that make his instruments extremely usable & the quality is top notch (I even layer his bass release library with my Scarbee basses as well). Someone if your advanced skill level could offer great feedback. The FUNKYGUITAR 2.0 (a Strat library) with its arp on is superb! It uses velocity for altered chords and such. Anywho, fantastic company, especially when you realize it's a one man show. He even has a ton of free older libraries to sample his work (that's how I was introduced). Checkout his RU-vid demos/tutorials. ru-vid.com

@@hifimidi Sorry. I was waking from a nap and read your reply almost completely wrong on my phone! LOL. It was only now, when I saw the notification again on my PC, that I reread it. I'd love to see your input.

And he did

Thank you for sharing your experience, and I would advise anyone from using Heavoer7Strings since it's an abandoned project and no longer updates. Mine immediately crash when loaded in Logic Pro.

That's one the next ones. :)

Kontrol S88 MKII

Odin 2 is great but plain suck for clean tones and require more effort to get the tone you want. Heavier7Strings is KING but it's an abandoned project and suffered from instability with Apple silicon processors and immediately crash when loaded in logic pro, haven't tried cabal8.

Probably music lab’s Realguitar series. They can do everything you have heard the pros do in records and more.

Agree. The OT libraries are so well programmed and you have so much control over how you wanna use it, which can be overwhelming to learn, but I remember first time I tried how easy I could get a dull and simple midi guitar track just by using velocity art switching to sound anazingly realistic with Evo Strawberry. Huge fan of OT. Ample Sound has evolved a lot over the years, but OT is still the King of plucked instrument libraries, and personally I have only scrapped the surface of what you can do with’em. I agree that the rhythmic strum coding is not optimal, but Imo that is because the idiocratically old and stupid ui of Kontakt up to ver. 6.x. I would have gone insane as an IT developer if I had to work with such an ui for coding. At least the have done something about that with ver. 7. It was about time.

OT is the best to me!

Buy them.

You can get great sounds out of it, but in my opinion, it’s pretty complicated.

​@@hifimidiI own three of their guitars and it's hard to wrap my head around the strumming system. Definitely not intuitive compared to how Ample sound does it.
