Fretting About Virtual Guitar Plug-ins? Sweetwater Has You Covered
Virtual instruments are an essential part of any DAW-based producer’s sonic palette. Are you searching for virtual guitar and bass libraries to lock in your leads and anchor your rhythm section? You’ve come to the right place. Sweetwater carries a wide selection of guitar VST and bass VST plug-ins with the sounds and features to bring your productions to life.
Virtual instruments (often called VSTi or VST instruments) are software plug-ins you can use on your computer to create sounds that rival real-world instruments. Sweetwater offers many virtual instruments that load easily into your DAW.
Sampling or Synthesis: Two Approaches to Virtual Electric Guitar Tone
With sampling, an electric guitar or bass sample library containing thousands of real-life sounds exists at your fingertips. However, sample libraries can eat up a significant amount of space on your hard drive. Many artists who work primarily with sampling have more than one hard drive full of samples. Some complex samples can take several seconds or even a minute or two to load, which can be challenging during live performances or when inspiration strikes.
This is where synthesis can be especially helpful. Synthesis allows you to create sounds using advanced programming (rather than recordings of real instruments), and you don’t have to lug around gigabytes of data since the sounds are generated algorithmically.
Whether you prefer to mix and produce your sound using samples, synthesis, or both, virtual guitar and bass plug-ins pack a big punch in a small package. Some plug-ins provide hybrid options; for example, a plug-in may use samples for the core recorded tones and physical modeling (synthesis) to simulate real-time string behavior, sympathetic resonance, and other playing characteristics.
Picking the Right Virtual Guitar Plug-in
If you’re new to guitar VSTi and bass VSTi plug-ins, don’t worry. Sweetwater carries a full sweep of virtual guitar and bass plug-ins from top developers like UJAM, IK Multimedia, and Toontrack. We offer options with intuitive, beginner-friendly interfaces, so you’ll be up to speed in no time. Check out screenshots in advance and give our Sales Engineers a call. We’ll help you identify the best virtual guitar and bass software for your experience level.
Before making your final choice, confirm that the guitar or bass modeling software you choose is compatible with your computer system. Many work fine with either a Mac or a PC, but some are platform-specific, so double-check for peace of mind. If you’re working on an older computer, verify that your processing speed and memory can handle your new software.
