About the Library
For over a decade, we’ve worked to perfect the virtual electric guitar with our acclaimed Shreddage series, and again and again, we receive requests for “acoustic Shreddage.” With the completion of the Shreddage 3.5 engine update, we finally felt ready to tackle the added layers of complexity that are inherent to acoustic guitars. For our first foray into the world of acoustics, we wanted to start with something versatile that could be used across genres, which led us to fingerstyle, a more flexible playing style than ordinary picking.
The Sound
For Rosette Fingerstyle, we chose a top-of-the-line flagship guitar from one of the most beloved brands in the world, a steel-stringed Taylor 414ce acoustic. To capture the tone and character of this beautiful instrument, we experimented with a dozen mics for several months before ultimately choosing a KM184 stereo pair and U87 to record both essential, up-close detail of the fingers on the strings, plus the guitar’s warmth and resonance. This guitar model also has a pickup, allowing us to include a DI signal for even more versatility.
In our quest for the highest realism and expressiveness, we sampled in obsessive detail. Every fret. Every string. Every finger. Across 5 dynamics and 10 round robins.
The result is a superbly expressive sound with the nearly infinite variations you would hear from a real guitarist. Customize the natural tone to your liking; tweak it in the Console mixer by adjusting the individual levels of the three signals, or choose from a broad range of creative, ready-to-go acoustic presets to fit your chosen genre. Alternatively, you can build your own unique sound by creating your own fx chains in the Console page. The multi-tracking feature allows you to double, triple, or quadruple-track the guitar.
关于库
十多年来，我们一直致力于通过广受好评的 Shreddage 系列完善虚拟电吉他，我们一次又一次地收到“原声 Shreddage”的请求。随着 Shreddage 3.5 引擎更新的完成，我们终于准备好应对原声吉他固有的额外复杂性。作为我们首次涉足原声吉他世界，我们希望从可以跨流派使用的多功能产品开始，这让我们想到了指弹，一种比普通拨弦更灵活的演奏风格。
声音
对于 Rosette 指弹，我们选择了世界上最受欢迎的品牌之一的顶级旗舰吉他，即钢弦 Taylor 414ce 原声吉他。为了捕捉这种美丽乐器的音色和特点，我们用十几个麦克风试验了几个月，最终选择了一对 KM184 立体声麦克风和 U87 来记录手指在琴弦上的重要近距离细节，以及吉他的温暖和共鸣。这款吉他型号还配有拾音器，让我们能够添加 DI 信号，从而实现更多功能。
为了追求最高的真实感和表现力，我们进行了极其细致的采样。每个音品。每根琴弦。每根手指。跨越 5 个动态和 10 个循环。
结果是极具表现力的声音，几乎可以听到真实吉他手演奏的无限变化。您可以根据自己的喜好自定义自然音调；在控制台混音器中通过调整三个信号的单独电平进行调整，或者从各种创意、现成的声学预设中进行选择，以适合您所选的流派。或者，您可以通过在控制台页面中创建自己的 fx 链来构建自己独特的声音。多轨功能允许您对吉他进行双重、三重或四重跟踪。 |
