Are MIDI Guitars Superior to Real Guitarists? | AXURE MIDI Guitar Plugin Review

[@studysoundaudio]

Thanks a lot for the review Mike! This was sick! We would encourage you to keep tweaking the velocities and note lengths/release knob on the chug parts to get a more realistic sound. It definitely requires a bit of tweaking just like any other MIDI instrument. Thanks again and we can’t wait to see more from you!

[@DrMikeMetal]

Spectacular instrument and thank you so much for the amazing development! Yes, I see. It takes time to get used to the workflow

[@DamonLuther]

you skimmed around it, and I shouldn't be giving away the secret... but... the best way is to pre-produce guitars and bass with sample libraries > locked to the grid or very close. I go baritones in the middle, left right hard pan for higher toned guits. Then layer live guitar on top. That creates the dissonance needed to gel all fake and real guitars together. Forget faking slides etc... the real fiddles will fill that in. A lesson from your uncle D. Also, mix to flavor. BTW, this idea produces a 'pull' and 'push' effect naturally, so no worries.

@@DamonLuther sweet!

[@SlamWizarD]

Seems like a great pre-pro tool, also could be great reinforcement to layer in if you have limited DI tracks for whatever reason.

[@DrMikeMetal]

My thoughts exactly. One could also give some extra contrast to the parts, making the entrance super inhuman, and then contrasting it with real performance

[@chrisbedan]

Killer, man!! this is awesome!

[@AlexSaheli]

Hi, Mike, could you kindly let us know: The MIDI guitar: the way it sounds in your video is that out of the box presets or the tones achieved with other plugins? I suppose the second I really love both tones and hope to get them somehow :D I was thinking of buying Solemn tones (Odin), but I like the sounds in the video a lot.

Спасибо, Dr. Mike! Очень интересно!

Sickkkkkk! .🎸🎹❤‍🔥

[@DrMikeMetal]

thanks for checking it out!!

[@gurumajuindonesia]

Oh my, sounds really good .. too bad it's quite pricey for a school teacher for me :(

[@DrMikeMetal]

Absolutely fair!! Hope that teaching is going well

[@Durkhead]

I think if you had a real bass guitar no one would know the rest was midi

[@Durkhead]

How do you double track midi guitars and make them stereo?

[@DrMikeMetal]

I talk about it in the humanize section of the video

[@studysoundaudio]

Mike was using one guitar in his demo which was why he was encountering phase issues. We have two guitar presets in Axure. You would ideally use them for guitar left and guitar right.

[@DrMikeMetal]

@@studysoundaudio 💯 I do think that humanizing midi for both sides would be beneficial for using guitar 1 and guitar 2, too!

[@studysoundaudio]

@@DrMikeMetal Actually we encourage that. If all else, program one guitar like normal and use the same midi for guitar 2 but offset it by a 128th note to get a better result.

[@DrMikeMetal]

@@studysoundaudio interesting! Good to know!!

What about Odin III?

[@DrMikeMetal]

I've heard of it. Never tried it. Seems like a good competitive product

[@adownbeatexegete1549]

@@DrMikeMetal Get it and make a video comparing the two.

[@Windir-gp8wk]

Seems those vst guitar are used for low tuned stuff only.

[@godsreclamation2539]

Tbh I use it only for the low tuned stuff. To help me write which in later I learn to play the riff. It's hard to capture a good sound sometimes without the right guitar. It's been done but so many people aim for the industry standard sound and end up sounding too perfect

[@PASHKULI]

sounds "MIDI"ish regardless

[@MahmoudNader]

Axe Machina is the best midi guitar I've ever used .. you can never tell the difference 😂😂😂 check my channel for examples that will blow your mind lol

[@DrMikeMetal]

Cool!!!

[@Tremendouz]

Which videos on your channel use Axe Machina? I couldn't see any with a quick look at the thumbnails

[@MahmoudNader]

@@Tremendouz All rythem guitars on my channel are using Axe Machine Check legend of the eagle bearer , Shadow Of war (Rock Version) , Horizon forbidden west

[@sqlb3rn]

All the midi crap and amp sims are just tools for bedroom guitarists. So no I don't think midi guitar will be used at the same level.

[@pleasuremane]

Yeah, there's no way real records done with MIDI drums and/or basses and amp simulators nowadays in 2024. /s

[@Dan-vb7lz]

Amp sims and bass sims have already been used in numerous professional albums, for years. I agree that the guitar sims are a way off, but I can definitely see them being used as backing guitars to help fill space in the state they're currently in

what band are you in? where can we listen to your music?
