Nice, R! It’s a good library! As I’ve said before, I’m an orangetree Samples guy. I have real strat elite and it’s nice too. But you’ve convinced me that people can’t really lose if they have any of the leading guitar vsts like amplesounds or shreddage 3...having the right approaches and techniques to using these capable softwares are the key to the much relished realism. That’s where your experience should help a lot of your listeners! Keep up the good work!✊🏾✌🏾
Dude... I'm gonna buy this now... the ambient world can be used for so many things. So beautiful, I would literally listen to you play and mess around with it... good video.
Damn that is a lot of RAM. I'd planned to make music that was running between 3-5 Shreddage 3 guitars but damn. Think I'll be recording the tracks on audio tracks after I've finished the MIDI sequencing 😅
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I'm wondering why I can't get the multi-colored keyboard to show up at the bottom like you have. Normally I can get it to show up in Kontakt 5 standalone by hitting F3 on my typing keyboard, but when using Shreddage in my DAW (Mixcraft 9) with Kontakt, the keyboard isn't showing up even when I hit F3. Can anyone help?
Have you ever used a Fishman Triple Play with a guitar VST? I always have trouble getting a rhythm chord progression to sound realistic by programing and wondered if actually strumming a guitar would trigger a more natural response.
Aaron Bowers I used two different midi guitars at NAMM 2019. They both felt unnatural. There was so much latency that I couldn’t justify every using it let alone buying it. There is still a lot of development and compatibility to work on.
@@hifimidi Good to know, thank you. I did purchase Stratus after your review; I love the way it sounds, quite a learning curve compared to ASF though. I am struggling with the strum feature. Maybe a future video 😉.
Jamie Brown for the most part, yes. However, I like AGF’s palm mute because it’s cleaner sounding. I also like the guitar sound effects found in AGF, but I’ll have to make a comparison video.
@@hifimidi I think the AGF is not good for funky strumming without the funk extension which is what I want, but buy the complete library just for the funk extension is pretty stupid. Comparison video would be a good idea! I hope you can also include RealStrat and other strat virtual instruments.
Casual Introvert ❶ it may be the attack. It may be what you’re listening through. It may be that my playing. It may be the fact that you already know it’s a sampled guitar. 🤷🏻♂️
@@careluisillo I have it, there's so much things you have to do to get it to sound realistic, it's a hassle to use. I'm not even sure who this was designed for honestly. You can't do complex soloing on it that actually sounds good, so the only thing its good for is simple lines and at that point i'd just pull out my actual strat and record it myself.
MicMacStudio Mick Graz what makes something a waste of money? That all depends on whether it served its purpose or not. If you listen to a track in isolation, sure, if may sound inauthentic. But if you blend it in with real instruments or layer it, you can hardly tell many times.These instruments are also used for professional mockups, so they’re used all the time. But even if you think it doesn’t sound natural, they keep getting better and better over time.
1/10. I havent seen any programme that was as buggy as SHREDDAGE. DO NOT BUY FOLKS. DO NOT BUY. The Keyswitch Engine is a joke and incredibly buggy. These are the bugs that does not make any sense. I am shocked how bad this is. I spent like 20 hours trying to fix this thing but no use. Like I said, DO NOT BUY.
This is the best GUITAR vst I've seen... like ever.
yeah the whole shreddage 3 series is great and i have it beside the ornage tree sample vst
these 2 companies make the best guitar vsts
Best demo of this vst I've seen...cheers

Thanks for the great in-depth review!
Nice work. Really got into this one. Curious If you could pick only one stratocaster vst would you go with this one, realstrat 5 or another one?
Damn that is a lot of RAM. I'd planned to make music that was running between 3-5 Shreddage 3 guitars but damn. Think I'll be recording the tracks on audio tracks after I've finished the MIDI sequencing 😅
Great effort, thanks.
Great review + tutorial. If you have to choose between amplesound and impact soundwork, which one would you pick ?
I just tried out the free version and I'm in love I'll def be looking to upgrade
thank you very much dear friend! very interesting lesson! greetings from Russia!
Excellent!I want in. But have you not finished uploading or is 360p the new 4K?
Lol. Not finished processing. Check back in an hour.
thanks for the demo
RUclips should make another like button called "super like". Until then I'll just have this video and my dreams.
Can you make a video of how to program vst guitars like Illenium? He uses a really clean guitar sound which way harder to get!!!! Hope u can make it!!
Can you send me a link to the specific guitar part you're talking about?
HIFIMIDI All of his songs have an amazing guitar in the intro, so any song you pick is really great, he just released an album
Here’s some songs you could use: “Hold On, In your arms and That’s why”
I know your comments over a year old, but Illenium actually plays and records on his tracks. He doesn’t use a plugin
Thanks for the video. My question is, how do you route multiple (Shreddage 3 guitars) in kontakt. I'm using pro tools atm. Cheers.
Impressive! But isn't it missing some fret noise?
Can I play chords on this guitar?
HI HIFIMIDI!
I CAN'T USE PICTH MODULATION FOR THIS VST...
PLEASE HELP ME!
THANKS SO MUCH!
This is a much better Guitar VST than this demo provides by far.
I’m sorry?

Can I play this without a keyboard and just use a MIDI ?
How to increase the max fret number? Mine is stuck upto 12 only..
Do you have the lite version or full?
my Shreddage Engine is not visible.
how to fix that?
please help 🥺🥺🥺
not sure. Contact impact soundworks. I'm going on very little info.
Is there a way to reduce/get rid of the "natural noises" when you play it?
Yes. It’s either in the articulations menu or in one or the performance menus. This is a common feature nowadays.
@@hifimidi Figured it out ^_^
Would you say this is better than Ample Sounds Strat emulation?
Jamie Brown for the most part, yes. However, I like AGF’s palm mute because it’s cleaner sounding. I also like the guitar sound effects found in AGF, but I’ll have to make a comparison video.

How is it that they can make a real sampled guitar STILL sound midi? I don't get it.

it doesnt. you just want to argue.

Hmm I don't know it sounds pretty good to me. Going to pick this one up soon.
amp??
The Demo sound soo MIDI
What does that even mean?
@@hifimidi Sound like fake guitar
@@windarupamungkas379 what does that mean? I dont speaka engles
@@windarupamungkas379 but it's fake guitar indeed
Well well! None of electric and acoustic guitar vst sound natural at all, they sound pretty bad actually.
Just a wast of money.
