Axure VSTi with comparisons to Odin2/3 + Axe Machina!

Hey, in this video I've written a track in order to demonstrate what StudySound's "Axure" sounds like, so if you're looking for a programmable solution to replace guitars in a project, this could be for you!
Axure:

I went with Axure and I am very happy! Not only does it sound great, I like supporting people that deserve it and Alan Rigdon (the creator of Axure) definitely does deserve my support and money.

[@StronghandStudios]

It's great!! And well done for supporting the new comers to the guitar vsti world!

[@fastandslippery]

This was awesome! Thanks for doing a comparison

[@StronghandStudios]

Thank you so much! You’re very welcome! ❤️

[@colinmitchell1287]

Axe machina has an amp sim section. The default sound has them loaded automatically. you can turn it all off and save a snapshot with em off. The FX rack tab.

[@StronghandStudios]

Amazing Thank you! ❤

[@colinmitchell1287]

@@StronghandStudios I believe the attack knob is like an offset, so it softens attack. So a slight difference to axure. Btw, odin 3 is having an update for pick attack coming super soon. Pick attack wars? hhaha

[@StronghandStudios]

@@colinmitchell1287 hahaha nice!! I think as much as these guys ask fight each other the better vst guitars we’re going to get! As someone who misses guitar, I’m all for it, as long as it’s creative/inspiring improvements and not unsupportive destructive race to the top style business practice!

If you fixed the Axe Machina then, maybe next video is a final comparison? Including Axe Machina and Shreddage Hydra :P

Hey man, amazing content! I started producing metal recently (after years spent producing edm), your guitar tone sounds amazing. Can you please do a video explaining how you made that? Also it will be amazing if you could share the midi of the riff you wrote, i'd really like to learn and improve and see how it can be written! I tried by ears but i'm struggling with the right strumming, keyswitch and articulations

[@StronghandStudios]

@@marcoamyss2196 hey man, I’m feeling a bit down at the moment so might not get onto a video quickly but I can at least respond to you via text. The guitar tone really is just neural DSP Gojira, followed by GGD cabs and flicking through presets until I liked the sound. Then I would Hipass up to maybe 90-100 Hz and that’s it. Don’t forget that the snarl on top of a bass guitar makes up a lot of the perception of the guitar tone as well. As for the writing aspect, Maxime the creator of Odin has some great videos on this! I hope that helps man, thanks for the kind words and stopping by ❤️

I picked up Odin 3 about two weeks ago over Axure. Axure sounds great but I’m still glad I picked up Odin. Solemn Tones rules! \m/

[@StronghandStudios]

@@jchristian515088 they do! Love Odin!

[@InVerum]

This honestly feels like it's conceivably a tossup between Axure and Odin. Both are made by small companies, and while Solemn has a solid track record, Study Sound seems to have a good backing behind them... So at that point it's really about articulations, UI/UX, and price. Odin III is $50 more expensive, has more robust keyswitches, and has the fretboard GUI (which I do quite like), you can also run a single instance with the dual stereo routing (and it has built in tones which are bad and you shouldn't use so I'll ignore them) vs needing to run 2 instances L/R for Axure. The Axure has a slightly more 'modern' tone IMO. Slightly more pronounced on the top end, and feels a little more growly. Odin is a little more subdued but has slightly better pick attack... Shit man, someone help me make this call ahaha. I am seriously torn.

[@StronghandStudios]

Odin 😎🤘

[@vaaalsongs4867]

Damnit, I picked up Axe Machina today. The DI in other videos sounded much cleaner.

[@StronghandStudios]

I think there’s an amp that’s baked in an fx tab I couldn’t find, I’ll redo a comparison with it turned off!

[@StronghandStudios]

New video is up! Fear not Axe Machina sounds great, there's just a problem at default, check the latest upload!

Enjoy!!!

I currently have the Hydra 8 string but ive been looking for something a bit better, i cant seem to get the hydra sounding how i want and this axure sounds incredible. Might have to grab.

[@StronghandStudios]

@@nathanlempar4283 Great! Let me know how you get on!

[@AliFahad-p9z]

Great video - what was your plugin chain for Odin 3? Ive noticed that the raw DI comes through a bit fizzy through most of the Neural DSP sims i have, amd the palm mutes don't sound sharp out of the box. I will say it does aound really organic and brilliant aside from that.

[@StronghandStudios]

@@AliFahad-p9z I don’t have the project open to confirm 100% but I’d be very very surprised if it was anything more than Odin into NDSP into GGD Cabs and some EQ. If there was anything else it only would have been an MB comp for the low end chugs.

[@frolsansey518]

Odin 3 must have

[@moth312]

Did you not try the Shreddage 3 Hydra? Its honestly SO good. 8 string, sounds realistic and chugs like a beast

[@StronghandStudios]

I haven’t!

[@GazzaniSilva]

yes Shreddage 3 Hydra is a BEAST !!!

[@StronghandStudios]

@@GazzaniSilva I’ll drop them a message and see if I can get a copy.
