This a great tool for folk who just want to compose. People put too much focus on performance, when writing is just as integral a part of music. It's not cheating if it was never the goal in the first place.

Composing is the actual brilliant part of every song/piece. Performance is mainly skill and practice, composing on the other hand requires creativity/ vast knowledge about theory (Assuming the composition is extremely novel). It's like the difference between an architect and a brick layer. although performing can be creative in some instances, as in jazz or any improv-heavy music. But again, improvisation is at its core, also a form of composing.

So my 1st review of the Shreddage 3 Hydra. It is an amazing tool that comes with waaaaay more samples and sounds than I could ever possibly need or use. It's amazing in fact that the team put this library together and for only $149. I've had a few hours to play with it before reading the manual and I've figured out a few things that got fairly impressive results. Fast forward to reading the manual (I probably should have done that 1st) and I see that everything I needed to know was laid out clearly. I have had a great deal of trouble getting my GR-55 pick up to control the library, but I'll keep working on it. Overall I think that Jupiter would have been a good fit for the music that I do and the way that write for simplicity's sake but I don't regret for a second paying the same price for SO MUCH MORE!!
Just bought this absolute monster and it's worth every single penny

I love the "Rake" sound from this new engine, it really puts emphasis to a tone when needed. Shreddage is the king in terms of brutal tones and aggressive playing, period! However, the slide legato is still(since the day of Shreddage 1 & 2) a pain in the ass to trigger, we need to set the correct hand position and string for it to be achieved (let alone setting up the fast or slow slide, if there are any way to do it), it's too complicated. I wish we can trigger the articulation as easy as OTS, or Prominy.
@ImpactSoundworksLLC

You don't need any special positioning to trigger slides. By default, just hold the slide keyswitch and then play overlapping notes, that's it! It will always slide regardless of hand position. If you want to slide DOWN from a note to open string, there's a dedicated slide note underneath the playable range. Plus you can map the slide trigger to whatever you want (velocity based, CC, etc) so you don't have to use keyswitches at all if you don't want.

Really enjoyed watching this. So much so that I bought the guitar. Really fun. However some questions. Your setup for the Modern Metal 1, (8:12) is different. I have tried all of the settings I see here and the sound is still different. I noticed yours has a really cool stop between notes where as the one I have, just continues the tremolo with no stops (changing tremolo does not fix this). Also it would be fantastic if you could make the midi notes for this available. It could really help to answer a lot of questions. Thanks!

When you double-track in a single patch (guitars 1+2 active) it already pans hard left and right! If you want totally different FX on each, the best solution here is to load the patch twice. Set them both to the same MIDI channel but separate Kontakt outputs. Then you can mix the outputs separately in your DAW. The first patch should have only guitar 1 active, second patch should have only guitar2.

Does anyone know how to make it so shreddage will play any 2 (or multiple) notes as a chord? For example, if I play 2 single notes back and fourth on the piano roll overlapping each other, it won't always register them like a chord. It plays them like 2 separate single notes. But I want them to play back like 2 notes playing over each other like a chord. It works sometimes, but rarely and it's random. Thank you for the help!
@ImpactSoundworksLLC
8 ай бұрын
This happens because the engine is trying to figure out whether you want to do a quick hammer-on/pull-off, or a chord. It can also happen if it's not physically possible to play those two notes simultaneously. One solution is that you can go to the Articulations tab, go to Legato (Hammer/Pull), and change the "Range" from 2 semitones to 1. You could also go to the "Map" tab of Legato (Hammer/Pull), add a new "Rule", and pick a keyswitch. That way the hammer/pull legato will only trigger while HOLDING that keyswitch AND overlapping notes. Another is to switch to "Workstation" mode from the Performance Style menu.
