Re: [exs] Re: guitar libraries

My point is it could have been far better with not much more effort,
certainly not any more expertise. What they are charging is a complete
rip-off unless you've got money to spare. For me personally, the one-octave
crap is unforgivable. If it works for you, great! I'm happy for you
(seriously), but I think for anybody in search of a "virtual guitar" the
instrument is completely laughable. I'm not saying the existing sounds suck,
although their generic quality leaves passion to the wayside IMO. What I am
saying is that I still have to hire a session player and am out hundreds of
dollars anyway (not really... I sold it). Alas, I've beaten this dead horse
to a pulp and I digress heavily. I just don't understand why anyone would be
impressed with this, dare I say, instrument. Let me say this in closing. If
it were at least 2-3 octaves of samples, I would have kept it. 11 keys is a
joke if you ask me. It's like asking to play Mozart on a xylophone. Sure it
sounds nice... to a point. -Jer
