I compare VSTi acoustic guitars. Those that are based on samples sound really cool, for example. Acoustic Guitar - AGM. But individually. In the mix is better suited to me Strum GS-2. Do with you is like?

I like it as a rhythm guitar using the pattern strum function. I don't know if it would work well as a lead guitar. At least I am not good enough to play it that way.

Another one to look at is Real Guitar by MusicLab. I tend to interchange the two. Both are fairly easy to use and sound fine to me in a mix. I don't have AGM, though. So I can't really compare the sound other than what I've heard it videos.

It's nice to see that AAS included acoustic as well as electric in Strum GS-2.

Strum GS tends to sound very precise and perfect, so if you prefer a more realistic guitar sound, stick with the sampled guitar instruments.

That said, Strum GS is wonderful in other, more artistic/creative production contexts. Blend its output with that from a real guitar recording or sampled guitar instrument to create vibrant, thicker textures. Use it with convolution reverb IR plugins and delays (or with a plug-in like EzMix 2 Ambient pack) to create lush shimmering pad sounds.

Real Guitar is already weak and the old sample by me, of course.

you can easily put an effect on it and make it not sound so perfect.

You're right, tonedef71 - as a destination Strum GS 2. I never used EzMix 2. You can tell how he checks to you? I will be happy to check it out, even though I know that the purists mixing from time to time speak ill of EzMix 2

Well guitar rig with some acoustic presets should be good

some slides added to track for emulate human touch.

any guitar player can tell this is total *bleep*

the instrument is an unconvincing piezo pickup guitar

This is what I do as well. I rarely use them as is.

Basically, run them through an audio plugin amp like guitar rig, GTR3 or Amplitude. Switch up the patterns so they aren't the same every measure. Things like that help make it sound real. And rhythm guitar only, which is what they are really made for. You can also vary the velocity, so it doesn't sound so mechanical.

I would use a sampled guitar for lead stuff. And probably run it through the plugin amps as well.

I'm guessing NI reaches more users, so it is a good advertising outlet for AAS to get their discount message to the WWW

Actually, I just purchased AAS GS-2,it's lots of fun to play, and sounds quite good for a physically modeled Guitar, offers both Acoustic & Electric models.

How low can strum go? Can it do bass guitar as well?
