Hello, I am looming for an external sound module that has realistic electric guitar sounds preferably distorted rock. I would be attaching this to my Roland GR-20 guitar synth that I use playing my bass guitar. I'm looking for something older that won't break the bank. Thanks
I can only speak as a keyboardist - for us, regardless of the sound, the challenge is to play parts on the keyboard that have the voicings and riffs that are guitarist-like, and not keyboardist-like. And it is just plain difficult to manipulate samples in a way that come off sounding like a real guitar.
I think the key is to use guitar processors after dry guitar sounds. A good amp sim, wah-wah, distortion, etc. help give that "guitar character." Samples of distorted guitar don't work because the distortion occurs for each string...which can be a cool sound, but not an authentic guitar sound.
Here's an incomplete "rock demo" I made using only sounds from my Roland Jupiter-50, including electric guitar. These kinds of guitar sounds are available in the newer Roland instruments with the "SuperNatural" sounds, such as the Integra-7 module. Again, I am a keyboardist, and it is really rough to play these sounds with voicings that are consistent with what someone does on a guitar. But I try my best.
Hello guys. I am new to audio mixing and i am over-satisfied with Cakewalk program, recording my electric guitar through my focursrite scarlett solo 3rd gen, and mostly playing solos on backing tracks etc etc. My guitar is one Esquire series by Fender.
* Your help would be appreciated by me. Thanks in advance. I am looking forward to your answer, especially if somebody plays these type of music with el.guitar and reveals me his own settings and stuff.
Generally electric guitars need a pre amp that was designed just for them. Example a guitar amp. Myself I use amps and sometimes my Zoom multi effects box. Depends on the sound I want. But definitely a tube amp if you have one gives you smooth overdrive
There's a good reason for this: You may find that at the mixing stage, the EQ'ing / compression / etc you apply to make your guitar fit in the mix, may make it sound completely awful if you solo it. This is perfectly normal - at this stage it only matters how it sounds in the mix. Most of the time you shouldn't need to go back to TH3 (i.e. try to avoid that). Just do what needs done to the track afterwards to get it to fit in the mix.
Guys, i would like to ask one more question - depending on your choices - in which levels do you put instrument (especially guitar) volume and backing tracks volume? Do you let them both to the same level or our guitar solos must be a little louder? And, how much? 0db is your volume peak, or -5, -10 db ? I'm talking for cakewalk's inside volume of recording and listening, NOT for input's volume through the audio interface (i put that close to the middle, a little bit down of middle and i'm satisfied).
* As you know, when Cakewalk's FX - AMP or Plugin's applied to input instrument (like gain etc for the guitar), volume becomes even more louder so which is (by your opinion) the hot spot between backing track and guitar? Is there any way to equalize both of these parts?
Wow this makes so much sense to me...... I often times make a guitar tone while my backing track is playing and when I return to cakewalk days later and try that same guitar tone, I always end up thinking "How the f*ck did I think this sounds good?" and then I start tediously editing it to sound good by it's lonesome and just end up being frustrated.
This will work on other distros I'm sure, but it will definitely work on ArchLinux x86_64 architecture
So it's pretty easy. Place Soundbanks file in /opt/GuitarPro6. Now, in a terminal mv to /opt/GuitarPro6 and change GPBankInstaller to GPBankInstaller.sh.
Then in the terminal enter: ./GPBankInstaller.sh Soundbank.file ./
The above command with install the soundbanks leaving a new directory called Data/Soundbanks inside the /opt/GuitarPro6 directory. Now restart the program and it should now be working. I hope you guys find this useful.

I want to use Web Audio API to simulate sound like guitar or something.Currently, I am using OscillatorNode to make sound by changing frequency. But I have no idea which node should I use and how to use it to make sound like guitar or something. Should I change waveform or what? and how?
"Sound like a guitar" is a vague request. If you want to manually synthesize a guitar-esque sound using Web Audio components, you'll need to do some research into waveforms for guitars and other string instruments, then read up on techniques to create these waveforms via DSP. Here's what you're looking at: ronw/dsp/
I'm sorry to hear your deception with a newly acquired instrument... that happens sometimes. Here's food for thoughts. First, please see this page of jazz guitar gear to read about what I personally use on a daily basis to obtain my jazz sound (on gigs, while teaching, during rehearsals, etc.) Perhaps it can help you get started.
Most of the time, it's not the "guitar's fault" if you don't have a good jazz sound. It's because you're not used to the instrument reacting in this fashion to the way you play, and hence you don't get the jazz guitar tone you hear on albums. With patience and some work, I'm sure you can come to love your AF75D plugged in the Peavey tube amp.
The guitar, amp and effects are merely "channeling" your musical ideas. Set the amp, stop worrying and see if you can make your musical voice shine through the rig. And eventually you'll realize that...
There are great historical examples of famous musicians playing and recording on badly "out of shape" instruments... still sounding amazing like they always do. You can hear Pat Metheny playing a solid body guitar a get a sound that's closer to what we'd call jazz guitar tone.
There's a Charlie Parker concert (recorded in Toronto) where he played a PLASTIC saxophone; no kidding. And his "jazz sound" is as good, if not better than when he was using a high grade European sax. In short, if the music is great then the jazz guitar gear used doesn't really matter. Give Wes Montgomery a toothbrush and he'll make music out of it...
Make your guitar amp as "flat" as possible EQ wise with no or little effects. Do not go for your typical rock setting (bass 10, Treble 10, Mid 2) because it won't work! Just make it a good clean sound. Then go to step 2.
You may end up liking one setting more than you would have expected. Sometimes, one tweaking will even make you play differently. For example, if I put more gain, I tend to pick lighter (I used thick Dunlop Jazz III guitar picks). Also, if there's too much bass, I tend to pick near the bridge most of the time, it's "twangier". If the barmaid is too sexy I tend to ... (and so on...)
Another aspect of my own "jazz sound" are the pickups: I like when guitar pickups are extremely responsive. This means that the dynamic range available is HUGE (you can pick very soft, or very loud and the pickups will respond accordingly - I use Dunlop Jazz III picks too BTW). That's exactly why I got rid of my Gibson back in 2012 (see this page). So, nowadays, all I play with are SH-55 pickups. It takes a while getting used to, and might be the reason your (cheaper) Ibanez doesn't deliver what you want to hear. :-)
