Testing out Shreddage X (Rhythm guitar sampler)

doc-phil

Up until a few weeks ago, I didn't know that sampling of guitars was possible (or at least I didn't think it was possible for it to sound good).

I stumbled upon a product called Shreddage X. It is a DI guitar sample library.. you can read more on the website.

I bought the Linux Sample Player version (SFV) for $49. So far I am completely amazed. I fiddled around over the course of the week and came up with a track you can access via the link below.

I am still learning how to use this software to its full potential, but I think I achieved some semi-decent results. There aren'y any squeals in this test, but you will get the general feel of it.

So... is the human guitar player going to become a thing of the past on recorded albums in future?? ?

I know this is a metal track and it is very clinical sounding.. but I was testing it out for the purposes of pure metal blasting! I ran the DI guitars into Le456 and x50 guitar amp sims (both free) using GuitarHacks impulses. Steven Slate 4 Platinum for the drums.

Lol, that is awesome. I have no idea how this works, definitely give the site a look.

Interesting, very interesting. I can see use as a songwriting tool, at the very least.

The last few palm mutes sounded definitely robotic, right at the end but mostly otherwise it's pretty good. Astoundingly good in places.

Let the synthetic uprising begin. Geth Guitarist 2.0, coming soon to vanquish a galaxy near you.

(Yes I have been playing too much Mass Effect.)
