Ultimate Sound Bank Plugsound Vol. 2: Fretted

Wow....that's all I can say. PSV2 comes with a large selection of acoustic, electric, basses, and combo guitars. The sounds are rich. The filters and other features are abit hard to figure out at first, but it's easy to get the hang of. The nylon guitars sound decent...the 12 string guitars sound pretty good, but RealGuitar has PSV2 beat there. The electric guitars are the highlight. I haven't found anything better on the market. You must get this product.

Steinberg Virtual Guitarist

Virtual Guitarist was advertised as a Rythm Guitar, and to me, it is nothing more. I love the acoustic guitars and a small selection of electrics, but the rest are useless. Virtual Guitarist's feature to play your own parts DOES NOT WORK WITH FL STUDIO 4! After going through the painfully long installation, I loaded the plugin up only to find more waiting for each instrument to load. Once the instrument is loaded, it is easy to figure out the interface (though I still have yet to figure out a few complex and useless features). The sound quality is good, but it is hard to use most guitars. The features are all listed on the Virtual Guitarist website. What you see there is what you get. The only feature I didn't get to try out was the channel 16 play your own parts feature. The manual is fine, but I didn't need it to figure VG out. I contacted customer support to check on how to use the channel 16 feature on VG, but they were unable to help...but then again, the producers of FL Studio 4 couldn't help me.

OVERALL:
Virtual Guitarist is a must despite its lack of flexibility. It provides a rythm guitarist for you and nothing more. You will fine acoustic guitars that sound wonderful and electrics that....well, don't. It's very easy to use, and you shouldn't have to use customer support unless you have compatability problems. The plugin is somewhat stable (with an ocasional crash in FL Studio 4), and is worth the money to buy.
