Specific VST is for Specific Applications Heavily effected (DELAYS! TAPES! YES!) single, lengthily held notes can be a breathtaking addition to your ambient, metal or post-rock works, bringing a fresh element to the song’s atmosphere that would otherwise be lost if you don’t have a guitar (or the means to play it).

In conjunction with a nice reverb, saturation or some analog-modelled EQ effects, this software can be a soldier for any number of varying composition styles.įull-bar chords in the background of a pop, rock or indie song present a unique tone to your track that is differentiated to a pad which would typically be used. Though acoustic guitars can provide an interesting instrumentation layer in your composition, this is mostly targeted towards electric guitar VSTis.

This means even if on a solo track the guitar VST sounds a bit artificial and lifeless, when used in conjunction with a full ‘orchestra’ (yeah don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone you didn’t play and record all 40 instruments in your song) it’ll be a match made in heaven.

The difference between an amp simulator and a virtual guitar lies in the type of VST they are - guitar VSTis are virtual instruments used for generating sound based on MIDI data provided by your DAW’s software which can be drawn manually, or played with a compatible MIDI keyboard.īy contrast, amp VSTfxs are employed to alter sound and can only be applied to a MIDI track plugin effects chain after a virtual instrument is applied (however on audio tracks, virtual amps can be placed anywhere on the signal chain to affect recordings from guitars, keyboards and even vocals).Īmp modeling is extremely popular, notoriously diverse - think any amp and pedal in existence at the behest of your mouse - and consistently delivers top-notch audio results.ĭue to the fact that this software usually comes as part of a greater set of virtual instruments, the guitar tone will distinctly fit the rest of the composition. It is extremely easy to stumble across bundles of expensive software after scouring through the results of ‘ best guitar vsts‘ without realizing that you aren’t in Kansas anymore.Īs I mentioned earlier (you may have missed it, I only spent the entire introduction talking about it) the nuances of guitars are traditionally difficult to perfect for digital playing, so most producers tend to avoid virtual guitars and supplement a lack of equipment/space with a virtual amp. While this seems like a relatively obvious answer (one’s a guitar and one’s an amp!), after a quick google search you will find that not to be the case. The Difference Between Guitar VST s and Amp VST s However, if you choose to work hard to make the MIDI notation and articulation complex, with a specific purpose in mind, there’s no reason that a VSTi for any type of guitar (electric, acoustic, or bass) can’t be a valuable tool in your - I tried to think of another word and failed - toolbox. You may run into some sonic issues if you attempt to build an entire song using sample libraries in place of real guitars, especially when it comes to strumming chords or particular dynamics on an emotional solo. That, coupled with the fact that the overall quality of guitar VSTis has been steadily improving, means that there is actually plenty to praise and discuss in a positive light. While I do appreciate the difficulties in simulating the intricacies of guitar playing, it’s not like other instruments with superior VST emulations don’t have similar nuances in playstyle.

Well, if you’d just LET ME FINISH, you would know the answer is no. Are you just going to spend the whole time complaining?‘ Okay, I know what you’re thinking: ‘ this is a lot of anti-guitar VST sentiment for an article about guitar VSTis.

I suspect it has something to do with the unique playing style of guitars - the way they are plucked, strummed or fingerpicked is unique to that class of instruments and seems yet to be consistently replicated in the virtual sphere.
