Joey Sturgis, here you are a fast palm mute test with Electri6ity!

Well, you can hear it now. I made it in 20 minutes and put the sloppiness all the way up.

Playing a real guitar is officially dead.

Lol not hardly...

 

[Widekmusic]

I read topic badly and I thought it was a real guitar. LOL

 

[SentencedToBurn]

sounds pretty damn good

 

[oroinvictus]

I'm actually pretty surprised with how good this sounds. I'm kind of eager to see what people are gonna do with this.

 

[::XeS::]

Also if it sounds very good, I find all these things pretty lame.

 

[Melb_shredder]

That's fucking cool haha! maybe with this, bands won't put up GP files as demos on their sites

 

[JeffTD]

Still sounds kinda synthetic to me, and just really not that good. Solid for a softsynth, but as a guitarist, I'm not worried in the least.

 

[Ermz]

Well, it's better than Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth...

 

[Habsburgs]

Joey.. PLEASE!

 

[shredder10]

Damn. This suprised me too. For sure.

For all the lovers and the haters:

It's not my intention to promote the physical guitarists' disappearance, just like the use of virtual drums does NOT promote the drummers'. In fact, it NEVER was. I really love playing real instruments. It's just a tool that I use for the sake of my creativity. There is not why to take the things out of context.

Just listen and enjoy. Simple as that.

Peace.

that's pretty good for a softsynth. but I feel like listeners ears are very in tune with the way guitars should sound and a lot of people would hear that there's something not quite right.
Just like you can usually call the difference between a fake choir sample and a real choir.

but hey. if you can't play clean, this might just be for you.

 

[NSGUITAR]

I'm not hating, just find it quite amusing! For a synth is sounds awesome, but I went into this not knowing it was a synth, then I checked out some more of your posts.

Good work with that though!

 

[Ola Englund]

It's not tight on the palm mutes... It should practise a bit more and pick harder on the strings(or keys)!

 

[Cyanide_Anima]

That sounds awesome for a synth. Kinda loose, but awesome none the less.

I think it is as good as most high end piano, drums and strings samplers.
If you take a real string section and compare it with a sampler, the difference is huge, but when you put it on a mix it doesn´t matter that much. They both fulfill their role on the song and can bring the same emotions to the listener. You know, just like when you use a bass sampler instead of a real bass. The real bass has many nuances and playing techniques, but if all you want is a damn low end on your mix, a sampler can do the job just fine. IMO guitar samplers can make the role of the kickass bang-your-head riffage element just fine. I think they should even simplify these libraries for the task like Shreddage did.

That said, I think Electri6ity is too expensive. If you think you can grab Native Instruments Komplete for 500 bucks...
