The story
This is the second in a series of new submissions called Thrumming Textures. I present my Dean electric guitar. I have had this instrument for about 4 years and regularly record it for soundscapes and textures. I find it works really well under arrangements and has a warm low-end.
This library is a diatonically sampled, single-dynamic-layer instrument, recorded clean and direct into my Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. I sampled each note twice to add stereo width; using my finger on one side and plectrum on the other. Using delay, reverb and compression, the resultant library works best as a soft pad.
A special thanks to Matt Mahan for creating a Kontakt version!
Reviews
Bright and soft sound of guitar, excellent!
Softly repeating guitar sound. Similar to the A Guitar which he captured, but I think E GTR has more brighter sound. I like both - E GTR made me think of rain drops.
Thrumming brilliant
The Thrumming guitars is a great way to add a soft bubbling texture to your music. Though perhaps a little less versatile than other sounds in this range, it does however sound fantastic!
Dreamy Guitar Textures
I think this one is my favorite from the excellent Thrumming Textures series. The electric guitar sounds super soft and warm and it is fantastic for creating a dreamy atmosphere. You really have to hear it, it sounds so gorgeous. Still no GUI still doesn't matter. If you like ambient guitars definitely check this one out. Highly recommended!
