Joey Sturgis, here you are a fast palm mute test with Electri6ity!
- Thread starter Javi Perera
- Start date
I think this is a very good point you've made, Javi. Virtual instruments are getting better and better, which is good. But they will NEVER replace real players. I too see these kind of instruments as tools, not replacements.
It's simply much easier (at least for me) to write down songs, arranging them, playing with different keys, rhythms etc. without having to record parts on real instruments over and over in the writing process.
I actually prefer for example virtual drum instruments over real one when it comes to deep and fast metal (except for cymbals which still sound quite fake). We did all recordings with my band with an e-drum running through Metal Foundry. It costs SO much less compared to recording real drums in an expensive studio. And the results are good.
But...even in that case: a drummer playing parts will sound MUCH better than manually write the parts in a sequencer. So, again, it's more a tool and not a replacement.
Thank for your words, Benjamin! 
As I can see, I think I put too much sloppiness to the guitars. In fact, I put its highest value in order to give 'em a bit of "humanization".
Well, let's try with NO sloppiness and less gain...

i havent read half of this thread
but im going to say the following:
1. no, im not trying to get this to replace guitar players, quite the opposite actually
2. i'm still not convinced, yet
3. i have plans to do something "fresh" with it at some point, but no one will even hear it for a really long time (if it comes far along enough to be less synthetic)
4. this has nothing to do with bands i record or projects i work on for other people.
finally: vst's will never replace real players

Replying what you said:
1.- Amen for that
2.- Keep in mind Electri6ity is more focused on pop-rock stuff. I've used a Fender Stratocaster to make this clip.
3.- In that case, you'd wait for a metal virtual electric guitar library... which is not on markets... yet
4.- Your own stuff and demos, I guess.
Finally: As I said before, vst's are just a musical tool.

From a miles you can recognize that something's wrong with the player or with his tone!Sounds very synthetic!
It's not as horrible as people are making it out to be. I'm sure most people would've been fooled by this if no one told them. I'm almost finished with the guitar sample library I've created for Metal. After using so many over the past 10 years, I've learned the secret in making a guitar sample library sound good. It was very time consuming and technical but the results, so far, are great.

It's easy to fool me but dude did you forgot that on this forum are participating guitarist with lots of very very expensive hardware equipment,power amps,cabs,mics,people like Goddamn Guitar,guitarists like Mago,producers like Ermz,Ryan,Joey.I think you can't fool them especially with this tone!
Really?? Are you making a metal library?? Tell me, tell me!!
Thanks dude!!
Eaaaasy dude! It's just a virtual guitar test! Why so serious?

Javi I just want to say that for a virtual guitar tone test it's WOW!But it's not close to the real guitar tone and in some parts it's recognizable very much.I appreciate you as a musician very much and I like most of your virtual tones and Meshuggah covers!Keep up the good work!
Of course it's not close, but that's why I'm making this test: in order to achieve that. And thank for your kind words by the way.
