All I can say is wow.... this is the type of video I’ve been waiting on you to make. Showing keyboard players how to make a realistic guitar track with ample sound guitars and using other well known VI’s to make a full song.... NICE!
What a gorgeous plug in which I just got the free version and the pretty music helped too 😀. Great vid man and the audience don't give a shit if the guitars are real, they just want to feel music.
Don't Forget that the free version '' Ample Guitar Martin LITE'' is a cut down version from the Full one. If you want to try the Full version, we have the Trial version of Ample Guitar Martin (Ample Guitar M III v3.01) that can download here: www.amplesound.net/en/download.asp Its the full version but limited to 7 days of use.
I think playing the guitar in live certainly sounds more human than the inbuilt strummer which I find a bit mechanical. But I truly love Amplesounds guitars. I use them all the time.
Thanks for showing how to translate the keyboard to the guitar. For song demos, or when not fully forward in a mix, this has a lot more than a 'passing' realism. I'll sub to your channel now.
A good thing will also be recording 2 times that performance (as close as possible), pan one LEFT and one RIGHT to get a wider sound with those little timing "imperfections".
Great videos! Higher res. recording would be really, really helpful! Dropped frames in an instruction video can be frustrating, especially videos like yours which focus on the hands, it would be great not to have dropped frames when a finger was moving someplace critical to the performance you are teaching. Thx!
Great video thanks! I have been looking for the BEST struming guitar VST that is actually FUN to play and sounds ultra realistic. Do you think that at this stage (APRIL 2019) Ample Sound is the winner?
WavebeatsMusic - Royalty Free Music I review many virtual instruments, and I try to be as unbiased as possible, but they honestly make the best virtual guitars on the market. I got to find out how they make their libraries and it made me appreciate it more. Not only is the layout the most logical for keyboardists and programmers, the sound quality and details they focus on are of the highest caliber.
@@hifimidi thank you very much for the quick reply, I really appreciate it. I will have it a go. thanks. I will continue to watch your videos. cheers! :)
I'm trying to key in guitar strumming on a very simple software... Would you be able to give a list of example backstrum chords, or inverse chords for a guitar to make it sound like a guitar strumming?
Montage only has 3 samples per note. Soft sustain, medium, and hard. This plugin behaves like a real guitar in many ways that Montage can never. More articulations (harmonics, palm mute, legato slide, strum noise, pick and finger samples, multiple mic positions, samples of each string and fret for many tones, round robin samples, strum mode, Riffer to build realistic riffs, Tab import and playback---too much to name.
Hi Ruben, I just found your channel and subscribed to it. Really excellent content, man! I'm building a home recording studio and noticed you're using a Montage in this video which is way above my budget. Will a Kross II work just as well in using this specific, great guitar VST? Or anything better that you can recommend? Also is this still the best acoustic guitar pack available for the money? Thank you!
Back in '75, when I was 13, I joined my first garage band. Mom's little spinet piano with a mic in it. The drummer and guitar player were twins and it was their house so neither one of them were going to leave. Drummer was very talented for a 14 year old but his twin, the guitar player, sucked and had no ear. He thought he could strum his way through every song and only knew open chords. I quickly grew frustrated listening to his strummed renditions of Don't Fear the Reaper, Foreigner tunes,, Styx, etc. So I bought a Hohnerr clavinet, a distortion box, and a phase shifter and did my damnedest to play the guitar parts. Strummer boy, God bless him, quickly became irrelevant and I've spent the rest of my life trying to emulate guitar parts on various keyboards. The last of which was a Korg Kronos. I've always been slightly frustrated by the tones these otherwise wonderful keyboards have offered me for guitar parts, but I've never thrown down for a good software package. I've had other guitar players tell me, "Dude, buy yourself a guitar. It's in your brain." 7 kids, 6 grandkids, and 47 years later, I think I'm gonna treat myself finally. Man we've come a long way! I've always been slightly frustrated
okay sir Thank you for the tutorial for being very helpful. but so far I want to ask why sometimes the tempo of the guitar when entering the strummer sounds a little less precise even though the fan is right. is there a solution for this thanks 🙏
It may be the sample start time. In the settings, there is a sample start time option that lets you start it at 0ms or higher. When you have it set to zero, you get the entire audio sample, which sounds more realistic, but causes a tiny bit of latency in the feel. When you set it to something higher like 35ms, you get a snappier playback, but it sounds a tiny bit less realistic because you're cutting off the first 35ms of sample. In order to solve this, you need to set your delay compensation on your DAW to -35ms (or set it to where you feels it's right) so it starts playing your sample a little early to make up for the latency. Let me know if you need clarification.
@@hifimidi It's amazing. Thank you for the knowledge, sir, hope you are always healthy. This really helps me very useful. OK, how to adjust the DAW compensation, what is the buffer size? thank you
Hi Sir, i have an some question for this tutorials to you, how about recorder and USB connect to the piano and a laptop ? I already watch to your this tutorial all of and i am confused so about this tutorial response please,,, Thanks
No, you can program everything in using the midi editor in your DAW or strummer. However, as a keyboardist, I find it easier and more satisfying to play it.
Yes. However, if you want to take advantage of strumming and changing chords at the same time, 76-88 key keyboards will be better. For basic note input, 49 is perfect. @@flashheart69
in Logic there is a percentage bar you can drag left to right. In Cubase, you have to vary it by ticks, I believe. I haven't figured out if it has a percentage slide like Logic does. Pro Tools has a quantization strength slider.
One thing I forgot to mention is that I am holding down my sustain pedal when I'm strumming. This is very important.
Exactly what I came down to ask about! Great video, thank you!

You also have a ''double tracking option'' within the Ample Sound Engine which will also get you a wider sound too.
Amazing demonstration
Excellent tutorial and tips. Appreciate it.
Awesome🎉 ..now I know how to play guitar in keyboard
Wow. Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Thanks a lot!
This is great, very good tutorial, thanks for sharing!
That was great! Thank you so much
This sounds a lot cooler than having to program each chord
Awesome video, Ruben - thanks! Could you do a series breaking down how you produced each track?
Very cool! Thank you, thank you!
Awesome bro!!
well thanks for this tutorial that really helped me as a beginner. so far I want to ask how to activate bend pith on ample soun thank you sir.🙏🙏🙏
Wow that was beautiful! What's the closest chord progression to that? It inspired me to write something.
thank you for this tutorial
Amazing

wish you had shown the strumming pattern with more detail.
Awesome 😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you!!!!!!
sir your music is quite nice, if I may ask, do you also also do stock music licensing?

Can we play hammer-on pull-off while strumming ? please let me know , i am struggling with this
Is it normal that the "stroke noise" is turned off when going to keyboard mode?
I want to do strumming in 7/4 with 3+4, 3+4 beats count. Is that possible?
What's the benefit of using this VST over stock Montage sounds?
Montage only has 3 samples per note. Soft sustain, medium, and hard. This plugin behaves like a real guitar in many ways that Montage can never.

Good!
I think you left it in keyboard mode for the demo at the end but it still sounded good..
Xavier B yes. That was my plan. I’m going to make a video on using it in instrument mode and getting the correct voicing.
What is the name of pad you use in omnisphere

just connect your piano to keybaord using USB, but its for piano that support midi only
Reminds me of Falling Slowly. Not a rip... just in good company.
I'm a drummer and can't play keyboard or guitar, do I need to learn both in order to recreate this?
No, you can program everything in using the midi editor in your DAW or strummer. However, as a keyboardist, I find it easier and more satisfying to play it.
