Virtual Stradivari Violin

Garritan launched his virtual instrument Solo Violin in 2006 and it change into very popular, so even these days interest to that plugin is still on excessive level. I may even say that it was one of many instruments which have many articulations and controls of play, so the sound became rather more reasonable than all products launched before. Even first product Garritan Personal Orchestra was not so nicely as Stradivari Solo Violin. So it was a huge success for that company and huge way ahead into new period of more sensible digital instruments. Read about plugin in my review - Review of Garritan Stradivari Solo Violin

Make score with virtual instruments

I remember the time once I get all in favour of music. And I favored how all instruments work together with each other, how they creating a new atmosphere with many fascinating sounds. Now, we have many virtual instruments which have actual samples and we will create orchestration and exquisite arrangments. First plugins that I tried was not large and now there are plugins with more than 100 Gb's of samples in library. Sound of such big libraries is superb and I feel means of enhancements are infinite. I wrote a small post about vst instruments - Orchestra Vst - create your own score

Electric, acoustic and synth basses

Bass is an important instrument in the music. He can provide groove and dynamics in the mix, show to listeners primary notes and assist different instruments. And trendy sample libraries bring for us very sensible tone of electrical and acoustic basses, and new variations of synthesizers deliver finest synth bass tones. I wrote a post about vst instruments and synths that could possibly be very helpful for creating music in different kinds and genres. Examine that in post - Making bass - list of bass vst plugins

Actual or digital guitar

When selecting what sort of guitar to use in music for guitar players reply of course will be real guitar. And similar solutions will be with different instruments for people who can play on them. However within the last years quality of digital devices grew to become so high and lifelike, so even professionals could not perceive what is real and what is virtual. That high quality is a result of a lot deeper work of creators and musicians. And solely human can provide his soul to all instruments within the track and produce actual music. I take a quick look at some digital guitar instruments that could be useful for everyone who need make an excellent and lifelike guitar sound.

Metal Amp Room from Softube – Review

This product from Softube was released long time ago, but only recently I was possible to try this plugin. According to developers, their goal was to reach an aggressive and brutal sound of guitars.

Interface

Appearance is extremely simple. A room with 2 cabinets and 2 microphones on each section. Adjustment positions of microphones, gate control and equalizers. In new version Metal Amp Room 1.1 you can turn off cabinet or amplifier, and use other plugins for creating unique sound.

Sound

The sound enough dry and gain is quite adequately regulated. Noise gate also works tolerably. Adjustment of microphones changes a sound strongly enough. And certainly on quality it is similar to natural lamp sounding.

I record a track with preset Scoop1 for rhytm-guitars, and TM_Dagoba1 for solo guitar:
 

I think that for guitarists which playing heavy styles, this VST plugin will help to receive the necessary sound without much efforts.
