Hello

Who has succeeded to reproduce A AC-DC song with a vsti or a sf2 (guitars) and a midifile
(example : "Highway to hell") ?
Because electric guitars are so hard to reproduce...

I play Gibson, but I don't know if a vsti + a midifile can reproduce the electric guitar touch.

..the trouble being, while in captivity, the males are indistinguishable from the female, so you run into all kinds of trouble... I once had a guitar that, after a failed breeding test, turned pink and sounded falsetto. Bloody fagot, I said to him, and he would reply "I'm a guitar, not a wind instrument"...

I don't know to choose :
- electric saturated guitar (sf2)
- or clean guitar (sf2) with saturation vst...
The two choices are bad.

Have you tried the "ultimate guitar soundfont" through ampsims?

Either something like that or check the latest Slayer 2 version out...

Not bad, but still not a patch on the slayer, angel of death one. A classic!

Slayer2 might get you what you want.

I've a Gibson, a Zoom and a Marshall. Ok. Why to try simulate guitar ? It's without end, because my fingers on the guitar have a special touch (hammering, etc.), specially in hard rock music.
But I've many friends who play only keyboards and they're sad to can't play guitar

I'll try the "ultimate guitar soundfont" through ampsims, thank's Programentalist.

If you play guitar as you say you do and have a PC based DAW I see absolutely NO REASON WHAT SO EVER in even trying to emulate a guitar with a VSTi.
Infact it sounds downright stupid just typing it

.

Now sampling and Rexing your own riffs for further manipulation is something completely different altogether.

That said seriously why even bother ..........

To FaX : have you read my precedent post ?

OK, I've tried Slayer2 with "ultimate guitar soundfont". Cool.
But I've also tried this SF2 with JCM900 (Marshall vst) and comp/limit. Cool too.

I'm trying on Free "All right now".

To be continued.

Listen this very little mp3.
The soft is Tracktion, the sf2 is "ultimate guitar soundfont", the vst is jcm900.
All is virtual.
This part of song (some seconds) is the intro of "All right now" from Free.

Your opinion, please.
Bad ? Good ? If bad, how to improve ?

Daniel

For leads (single notes only), you can try either.
For chords, use clean guitar into VST distortion/ampsim. The distortion won't sound right otherwise.

Nice clip. Where can you get jcm900 and the "ultimate guitar soundfont". The first has too many unrelated google hits, and the second has none.

best regards,
