if you do a video for bass guitars, you should include EZ bass. The amplesound basses are alright to, like the Victor Wooten ying yang imitation bass and the Jaco Bass. But the ample sound basses sound better for funk and jazz, not metal or rock. If you want a good rock or metal bass try the Punk Bass by Submission audio, or one of their other basses.

Hi Dom. I have Electric Sunburst (but not deluxe version) and it sounds amazing but I can't figure out how to play straight notes or chords on it. I think there's no 'open' option which you seem to be using, and you can only play the preset patterns. Am I missing something??

Oh man I’m right there with you. I cracked 2 disks in my neck and lost control of my left hand and upper arm 7 months asunder. I’m also left handed and have been playing since 92. I’ve been recording with guitar vst’s since 2010 in GarageBand and I still can’t get it right. I used some metal samples in a film soundtrack and musicians were like wtf was that noise. I believe there’s a way. I had all the plugins (loved LaPou) from JST to metal forums IR’s. I could never get it right. It’s like is it my guitar pick ups? Why don’t my plug and play shred instantly like JST lol. 2 years a go my apt got robbed I lost all my music and film stuff from when I lived in NYC so I moved back to Ohio starting over again with this idea of how to make music w guitar vst. I might check out Hydra or Odin or Hellraiser. Idk lol. Sorry for the blog post hope you progress in your vst/music journey!

in general, getting stuff to sound really badass is incredibly hard, depending on any genre or instrument type. i know a buuunch of people in my local metal scene and im pretty intimate with what knowledge they do or dont have, what equipment they know how to use, etc. and let me say man. as a metal guitar player of 20 years.. the guy that gets the sickest tones out of anyone i have ever met: he's not even a great player, he just has a sound engineering background... and not even a super in-depth one, but you listen to his stuff and its straight up bone crunching savage destruction nonsense of the highest order, and super clean and loudly mixed, at that so what im getting at is with tone, its worth it to have a strong understanding of the basics of mixing/mastering, the eq spectrum, etc. which is all stuff you can learn for free on here. i got into it because i was getting bored of metal and i wanted to make electronic music. only when i started learning the hardcore in-depth stuff in edm production did this finally all start to click. you need to know how to actually use things like compression, gates, and EQ's confidently and properly just as a baseline.. copying and pasting the settings that someone else uses or just using plugins x,y, and z does not = great tone because of a myriad of other factors. now you are in a position where this could be the natural progression. i have even made experimental black metal style songs without even using guitar vsts and just made the "guitars" with distorted saw waves and heavily processed it. @@infectedgoat7775

Your keyboard playing for guitar notes is so smooth!

Thanks for featuring Axe Machina in your list!

Great demonstration of libraries. I like this format a lot. Inspiring.

Cool libraries. Awesome playing.

Omg this is so helpful! All the ones I was looking at used mostly premade riffs, and I wanted control over my riffs. This helps!

Shreddage 3 Jupitar is my fav pick - great performance showing the presets - cheers 👍👍👍

Amazing playing ! Very inspiring !

Wow, the Axe Machina from Sound Iron is really impressive for metal. Great right hand shredder riffs as well Dom! Those palm mutes are 🔥🔥🔥

I love the libraries of native instruments, but i wish, I could play them like you do! 😜 Greetings from Germany and many thanks for another great video! 🤗

Thanks Dom for introducing these amazing libraries and for your inspiration. Btw. great playing as well. 🎸😎

It's always a pleasure watching you to play such libraries because i can see how deeply emotional you get catched by them ;-)

I have been waiting and looking forward to this since you teased about it several weeks ago! Only 25 more minutes to wait now! 😊

I needed this video, Dom. I have the entire all of the Kontakt 7 guitars, so it was great hearing you demo them with your amazing musicality. Thank you!

Hello Dom, once again an excellent video with lots of information. These Lybraries are perfect if you can play as virtuously as you. I also use the one or the other VST of it. Greetings and thank you for your work. 😊

I love this channel ! Rock on 🤘

Thanks, Don. Your videos are always good to watch. I have the Accoustic Samples Guitar pack which has 2 electric and 2 accoustic guitars - I bought this because they dud the sampling for M Guitar which you did a video of a while ago. In fact I am surprised you didn’t mention M Guitar or T Guitar given your association with the Yamaha and Steinberg stables! Keep the videos coming!

The Shreddage 3 Jupiter is a standout

I've snuck so many el gtr pars on my keyboard, never been picked by any clients. Nice to see some other sources. Thank you, Dom. Cheers

I play guitar so virtual guitars are for when I simply have a need for an odd bit I can't play or a sound I can't work out without a lot of fiddling ( I play mostly acoustic guitar). In my experience, for the styles of music I favour, cannot beat amplesound stuff. It's just amazing.

Thanks so much for review!!!👍

Axe Machina sounds fantastic

Thank you for making this video. Thanks to you, I found the right tool!

You are my favorite DOM!

I have a few of the Shreddage ones. They really evolved and I like 'em. I'm still hesitating on NI Komplete. Maybe the next iteration will get me buying the bundle again. One thing that would be wonderful is to use libraries just with the DI signal and utilize Cubase stock FX plugins to create different styles of guitars. Just to get a better understanding of how to make these sounds.

I have the NI Electric Sunburst Deluxe and like it a lot, but thanks for introducing the soundiron, I'll look at it for more metal style. Sound is great

Impact Soundworks have my preference hands down. For the sound of the guitars by themselves, but also the built-in effect section that is awesome. No need an external effect plugin to have a high quality guitar sound. My only complain about them is that you have access to only one mic/sample sound : the bridge one (except for Hydra and Stratus where they have three). It's a hard limitation for the creativity in my opinion. Because a guitarist can shred in any mic position to add different flavors to his performance. But sonicwise, playability, they are really good.

Just when I thought your videos couldn't get any cooler, you come out with a reason to slip in some Priest! Kudos Sir!

Wow that sound iron one sounds amazing.

1:03 says it all, Electric Mint Spacious EDM FTW

Hi Dom. Maaaan, you nailed it. I mean you hit the keys and it sounds better than the most guitarist I met in my tiny musical life. I use the Ampel Metal Eclipse. I am just a drummer creating some rhythm parts to play along with. I also got AmpliTube 5 for real guitar "playing" sessions. Haha. Together with such amp sims, you can create a lot of sounds. BUT I want to mention that there is a free metal guitar library called METAL GTX. It workes with the Plouge sforzando SFZ player and was my first step into guitar VST . You need an amp sim and an IR loader, but these things are also available for free. I was like wow....for rhythm parts, quote usable, I think.

I was looking for an electric guitar lead for hip hop / pop style production & it sounds like Jupiter really works for this! Thanks 🙏🏼

This Man Has A Blast while Teaching🤣🤣🤣!!! Your reaction at 8:28 to your riff says it all, you knew you killed it💪💪!!!! If you can't already tell, I'm really enjoying this video and these libraries are CRAZY!!!

Hello Dom ! So many Yngwie Malmsteen vibes from your way of playing the Jupiter. I'll definitely get it for leads. For the main chugging, I'm having a blast with the Odin from Solemntones !

Awesome Vid, thank you

Excellent T-shirt

Was cool enough to make me go and grab a quality pair of headphones. 😊 Thanks for the video.

Great video Dom! And man, can you shred! I own Jupiter too, but also Serpent. Serpent is a little more mellow, but both are great. You could've added the free Stratus to the video so viewers could start themselves. I loved the NI guitars you showed us. I own the Sunburst, but never installed it. Think I might now!

i used to play electric sunburst but my Musician friend is metal heavy fan suggested me to use Jupiter instead until today i thought it was junk! but this preset you mentioned man is very close to real Electric guitar !!!! amazing feels!!! still searching for best library with warm and real sound!

Great video as always, a video dedicated to electric mint will be fine.

Another great video, Dom! Thanks a bunch! One question: Are you using any external EQ or processing at all on these sounds or is everything I hear contained in the actual guitar VI that you are using? Thanks!

Thanks dom

I think a lot of people are turned off by guitar libraries because of an inability to sound realistic out of the box. It takes a lot of practice and patience. No matter how good the samples or playback engine, it is always going to be difficult to make them sound realistic if you don't learn the articulations and have some guitar playing knowledge. Unless you're using power chord patches, playing solo leads and simple riffs with lots of distortion, it just about always requires MIDI editing after giving some thought to which articulations should go where. Real-time playing often doesn't make the cut. I own a lot of virtual guitars and NONE of them sound realistic to a guitar player with simple keyboard style playing techniques, even using patches meant to make it easy to change articulations. As for rhythm guitar, times this by 10 in terms of difficulty. If you want to get something realistic that you can feature upfront and not have to bury in the mix, there are no shortcuts. There will be lots of tweaking.

Good rhythm guitar is so hard to replicate and even with lots of tweaking it just isn't nearly as good as properly recorded real rhythm guitar, but I think it sometimes work in more processed genres like djent hearing some examples from other videos. Surprisingly that Smoke on the Water riff sounded good, but not Painkiller, Walk and few others. However, real rhythm playing requires good guitar setup, good performance, good recording and editing to make everything sound tight to modern standards, in some instances these guitar libraries might work. As for lead and acoustic playing they sound quite good, again depending on style but in some instances almost too real. That shreddy stuff, acoustic and flamenco stuff he played in one of the previous videos was amazing, as long as you can play as Dom, but most people can't and you have to painstakingly manually edit details for it to sound realistic. I haven't heard how it fares with country shredding or with different bluesy styles but I think leads in those genres might be harder to replicate. Ultimately, validity of these libraries depends on what you're after. Some of those were unrealistic but sounded good if approached as electric piano preset, or if used as fake/heavily processed sound design choice for genres like electronic and hip hop. In my conclusion, if you're writing some generic library music it should definitely work if you humanize it a bit and should also work if you're using it as sound design for certain genres. For modern metal stuff it might occasionally work depending on riff complexity. For most "normal" sounding blues, jazz, country, rock and metal you just have to properly play and record real guitar even though with some experimentation and manual editing it might work in some instances.

Great video, I haven’t found a vsti guitar that sounds convincing for distorted strumming yet, with most of those guitars you can make solos that sound real, or throw power chords like in a riff, but, lets say I want to play something more strummy (probably made up word.. i speak spanish 😅) like pop punk, blink182, green day… is not easy to get those up and down rythmic patterns to sound real in a fake guitar, I hope soon i find one, thank you

Fantastic! For me, Ample sounds plastic and tiny compared with the other monster libraries. Thank you!

I wonder...

the beginning cracked me up, brow was shredding on a keyboard.. and then smoke on the water plays lmfaoo

"When you have a brief from a production company..." That must be nice! :)

I think we (I mean I!) definitely need to check out Dom’s tutorial on how to play them on the keyboard. Any time I try “guitar” on a keyboard it sounds so keyboard. I try to think of the notes that would actually be played on a guitar, but it becomes a real brain strain! I also play real guitars, so I would be concerned that by getting too carried away on the keyboard, I would play something unplayable on a real guitar. I suppose for the sake of creativity, employing poetic licence, anything goes as long as it sounds good. But there is a purist inside me that says there is a place for mashups and a place for realism. Using these things sits a little uneasy with me (although I’m a hypocrite because, like most of us, I use sampled orchestra sections instead of a real orchestra, so what’s the diff here?), but in a mix, damn these guitar plug-ins would sound good! I like those metal guitar power chords! 💪 🤔 On the subject of realism though, for example, I sometimes work with a violinist, who plays parts that I compose on the keyboard. I have got a lot better at composing parts that are favourable to the instrument now, but early on I would do things that are easy on a keyboard but not on the real instrument, like holding a high sustained note, that is in the violin’s range, but a stretch to play and hold a nice tone on a real violin, requiring multiple takes, comping and audio warp. Stuff like that, which samples have no problem with. Hence their time saving usefulness I suppose.

Hey, maybe this is weird, but could you make a video just of you playing for 10 minutes? I love listening to your "guitar"! I wish there were more.

Hydra is tuned a lot lower than Jupiter, so if you want to reach those super low deathcore notes, Hydra would do the trick. Hydra also has the neck pickup sampled, so you have more sound variety. Those are the main differences.

Which would you use for some 80's style palm mutes?

what are you using for cabs/distortion on these guitars?

Chinese made Ample sounds is dope!

Quick correction, the Ample Metal Eclipse is sample from a ESP Eclipse, not a Gibson Les Paul. EDIT: to answer your question, I use mostly Ample Sound guitars.

The Amplesound Ample Metal Eclipse is not a Les Paul it is an ESP Eclipse 1. Take a look at the headstock which is clearly ESP and the name tells us also that this is an Eclipse. Additionally it is the same as my guitar her on the wall 😁

hey !

I want to use it mainly for arpeggios (I love the space kind of sound you used). thx for your response

Maybe it is a stupid question, but... I wriite my licks using notes in MuseScore. I can of course export them to MIDI file. I have FL studio and very basic knowledge. Is it possible to create SOLOS with Session Guitarist - Electric Sunburst Deluxe within FL studio by writing note by note or importing MIDI? And of course - could I apply effects like bending or other articulations? I got really lost. I even heard that it could not be done as it is for live recording not putting notes in FL Studio... Please help

bro your BA⚡CH shirt do you have the link ? that's super cool

The most realistic is Heavier7Strings. Why it's not here is a mystery.

my question for you. From a cost perspective it seems a bit more cost effective to buy a VST (heavier7strings), but in your opinion, why would you suggest multiple libraries which cost more. (note, I'm not necessarily hung up on the cost, but trying to see advantage to the libraries vs a VST) - is it that you get more choices in the libraries? or is it that it's easier out of the box to use? and lastly, can you use multiple libraries at same time, maybe mapped to 2 different keyboards?

really hard to say which one is the best... they are all incredibly realistic (played like you play them)... but what I can say is that all Shreddage 3 are very difficult to use. If you did an in depth tutorial on one of them it would make us happy subscribers…LOL 😁
