Virtual Acoustic Guitar Showdown: Orange Tree Samples Evolution Kontakt Instruments Compared

There's 2 libraries based on the Gibby J-45 (Relic and Songwriter). Is there any significant difference?

You talk too much

hey whats the diff between economy pick style and the alternate picking style?

pls, play with fisher triplay

Awesome plugins! Off topic, but you kinda sound like Brandon Lee from The Crow lol. Also a little like Jason Newsted

ha ha ha ....this sounds total shit...but it´s not the libraries fault...learn to use it properly...

Orange Tree Guitars Sound Good! but Strum mode is not good (poor presets, terrible edit, unknown latency)

this software free for fl stuio??

What guitars are they using for the samples?

I own Songwriter. Songwriter is the best sounding among the four. With the song mix or alone.

Do you have to use a computer or do they have a version for synths and samplers? Computers and VSTs suck.

Would be interesting to hear this with the Evolution Modern Nylon and Evolution Texas Twang, just as a round out.

Evolution Steel Strings sounded the most natural and balanced in the mix, frequency and transient-wise.

They are all very realistic sounding - but my pick would be the Songwriter. The Gibson also sounds great . Tiger.

Personally, I think the Evolution Steel sounds the most like a real guitar, especially in this mix. The Flatpick sounded more like a 12 string to me, almost buzzy on the upper strings. Songwriter did "fit" well in the mix, altho I think it may be getting lost in the mix, and will not stand out as a guitar part.

I wonder if Violinisters listen to string libraries and come to the conclusion I do as a guitarist hearing these....doesn't sound very realistic....at all.

4 fantastic guitars - I also would have choosen the Gibson - as you said the character of the sound is unique

I would recommend Ample Guitar Martin which I have or Ample Guitar Taylor because you can program the strums exactly. You can program it from scratch. I did have an Orange Tree Samples metal guitar Library but I found their method clunky. Don’t get me wrong it sounded great but I never got on with it. There are a few good sample acoustic guitar libraries for Kontakt. However you can never program from scratch so they are out for me. I think you can program RealGuitar from scratch or at least completely edit preset patterns. To be honest I am not really happy with the options out there. Still waiting for that ultimate programmable acoustic guitar library/VST
