Dyne Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Okay, two points: 1. Pirating is wrong 2. You can find free software that isn't pirated, you just need to know where to look. That said, if you want realistic guitar, you've got two choices, you can either a) find a piece of software that can emulate what you want, or you can buy software like Guitar Rig 3 and some kind of input such as Line 6's GuitarPort, or Native Instruments Rig Kontrol (which incidentally, can be bought with Guitar Rig 3 as a package).

Legion303 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 http://www.prominy-ss.com/LPC/LPC_super_p_multi.movSo this sounds "quite terrible"?? Or these? http://www.soundtempest.net/nomuraclip.mp3 http://www.soundtempest.net/agclip2.mp3 Yes and no. The video was amazing. The first mp3 sounded like ass (but I've been playing guitar forever--any non-guitarists want to chime in here?). The second mp3 sounded great, but the OP question was specifically about chugga chugga. I can get Slayer 2 to sound very realistic in small doses and with lots of surrounding material, but it takes a lot of work. Why does this topic come up every 3 months? -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 This just makes me want to make on big super chugga chug VSTi and sell it for monuys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacian Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Lol... thanks guys for all your suggestions. Since all I wanted was a CHUG I borrowed a friend's guitar and spent a while breaking my fingers to the point they bled (I'm not a guitarist, only a pianist/drummer etc) and did a simple chugga. All I needed was a filler in the low end. The resulting product was exactly what I wanted, though I couldn't do much more due to my crappy guitar skills. Though there is rumor that I'm buying a ukulele at Guitar Center since I know its chords better If you guys do find a way to make a synth guitar work (or even a tut on Slayer) I'd love it. Thanks so much!!! P.S. A whole page arguing... wow ~jace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion303 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 If you guys do find a way to make a synth guitar work The secret is to use external effects. When I'm doing scratchpad work or using Slayer 2 as a placeholder until I can record my real guitar, I always run it through Guitar Rig 2. This is done that way with some other effects tossed on: http://neutronstar.org/music/malaguena.mp3 It would sound better if Amplitube 2 worked in FLS. Maybe in v.8. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchronicity Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well, I know I'm still a noob to the forums and everything but I've been a guitarist for several years. Both sides of this argument have their points but I'm going to have to agree with Rose. If you want realistic sounding guitars, how about you get a guitar and a nice rig and make those chugga chuggas sound the way they are supposed to. I'm not saying you can't make synth'd guitars sound good/real; this site is filled with artists who do just that. However, listen to the best synth'd guitars you've ever heard and then go play a Gibson or a nice Ibanez through a Triple Rectifier by Mesa Boogie . Simple win. A lot of times when I listen to remixes on OCRemix and I hear synth'd guitars I'm like "man that'd sound 10 x's better if it were real guitars." I'm not knockin' remixers usin' synth'd guitars, I promise. Many remixers just use what they have and that's fine and a lot of times it sounds fine, sometimes great. Many instruments can be replicated through synths and VSTs but if you really want to get the authentic sound of the instrument, no matter which one it is, nothing will sound more authentic than the original instrument itself. Synths and VSTs will sound very very close to the original sound and that's the thing... it's close enough. Find the sound you want, if synths can do it, great. Don't fight with armies of effects, layers and patches just to prove a point that synth'd guitars can sound good... Getcha a Guitar! I do think it's kind of funny that everybody kind of came down on Rose and the dude did exactly what Tensei-San & Rose said and got the exact sound he was looking for. That's the kind of help people look for on forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellmynamewithabang Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I do think it's kind of funny that everybody kind of came down on Rose I don't. Trust me. I go to another forum and she used to be a member there. She was banned for very similar reasons to why she got flak here. She has a certian reputation for being argumentative, usually not knowing what the hell she's talking about, making annoyingly long posts that state basically the same thing over and over, calling people "neo-cons" and just generally unpleasant to deal with. So yeah, it wasn't surprising to me. I was just reading through and I was shocked to read that same username. And then when the shit hit the fan on page two I knew it was her. =P On the subject of the topic at hand, I use Slayer 2 as my primary guitar synth and run it through some effects, so if you want a quickly editable synth guitar, use that. It usually sounds fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 You know, I'd be curious to see what Rose would say if we put up audio of actual guitars and asked what she thought of them. Chances are decent that it would be hard to tell the difference in some ways. I'd also be interested in seeing some proof of the credentials that would be necessary to even take part in an argument like this, or maybe listen to this so called song that's on the radio.

Pantheon Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 http://www.soundsonline.com/Quantum-Leap-Ministry-Of-Rock-pr-EW-173.html It's alittle on the expensive side, but my buddy uses it, and I cant tell the difference between that and a real guitar. I have a little exp. with it, and from what I've seen, you can get some great leads as well as chords in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 There's also Rob Papen's RG - http://www.kvraudio.com/news/8868.html - which is supposed to clock in around $169. It's rather basic in terms of choice of guitars, but there's a full synth section and getting a nice pattern can be done really fast.
