5 people need to have their faces melted

[Drummerkid74]

Can I use this with Kontakt Player, not full Kontakt? Sorry, I'm kinda new to this Native Instruments stuff.

[zirconst]

@Drummerkid74 Unfortunately no, it does require Kontakt full version. This is a limitation from Native Instruments on their own Kontakt Player software.

[Neosablenk2000]

this is my favorite guitar samples...



[SEPTICSOUNDS13]

i just uploaded a metal demo using fruity loops but i used shreddage guitar synth and slate drums, the mix isn't great but it's the first mix ive done. i plan to upload some more metal tracks and work on my mixing, any advice would be welcome, check it out.

[shuttsworth]

ok now i am pissed off, how the fuck do i sort out the kontakt player shit, i've bought this fucking software and no 1 has explained in detail how to get it goin,

[AtOdinsCall]

@shuttsworth That's just how Kontakt works, I'm afraid. Have a look around for the tutorials on YouTube because honestly, Kontakt libraries can be a headache if you don't know what you're doing.

[Jafetator]

hey i but this but...Doesnt sound as here... Do i need a amp emulator or i bought the wrong thing?

[MASSRCOR]

Sounds better than RealLPC, which is what I've been using. I'll give it a shot asap.

[DrShemp]

OMG i need to get this is freaking awesome!

[jclaussftw]

How did I know you were a metal head deep down, Aversa? You are the man.

[vDEATHxSTROKEv]

THIS KICKS ASS WITH GUITAR RIG 4!!!!

[djdarkx2006]

@vDEATHxSTROKEv I agree. Bought Shreddage and using it with Guitar Rig 4 and it's really damn good. Thanks for the awesome guitar library!

[himtonny]

i have shreddage on my pc but when i open cubase its not finding this vst innstrument

can anyone help?

[skutbug]

Is it possible to simply import any midi file into a DAW with Kontakt 4 and have Shreddage pull off the riff or is this program only designed to work with live recordings from recorded midi input devices? If the method of importing existing midi files is an option, where might i find detailed tutorials on how to do this?

[zirconst]

@skutbug You can definitely just write your own MIDI riffs; I don't recommend importing a MIDI riff necessarily since the MIDI data needs to be customized (eg. some articulations are left or right hand only, velocity triggering, etc.) I'll be doing a new tutorial for Shreddage soon really showing how to construct stuff from scratch in the piano roll.

[VenVile]

This is wayyyyy cooL!

[DjWurm1]

wow thats really good! i cant wait to get! Slayer gets very old :P

[havnofeardrinkabeer]

so like you be ripping off system of a down pretty hard.. damn hard

[MargaretsLight]

can you use it without kontakt?

[zirconst]

@MargaretsLight Not as of yet.. like many small devs, the NI licensing fee is too high to bundle a player, so we do require Kontakt for this one. However, we're porting it to ImageLine's "Directwave" format as well.

[MargaretsLight]

@zirconst thank God you are gonna port it!!

can't wait!

I only have fl studio.,

so I really need some good guitar sounds and to make really good riffs for my songs..,

thanks for the heads up!

[SoadAddict91]

1:13 to 1:18 sounds almost identical to 0:08 and so on from System of a Downs song, This Cocaine Makes me Feel Like Im On This Song. Check it out.

[Systemofashane]

@SoadAddict91 Haha I knew someone would notice!

[SoadAddict91]

@Systemofashane Yeah man, when I heard it I was like "SYSTEM!!!!!"

[Systemofashane]

@SoadAddict91 :) and they should be reuniting!

[SoadAddict91]

@Systemofashane WOO! SOAD 2011! At least thats what I heard. That they will be getting back together 2011 and touring. I hope they will. xD

[Systemofashane]

@SoadAddict91 Yeah next Monday they will be revealing the info! I'm such a fan as I was before though, more of a Lamb of God guy :P

[SoadAddict91]

@Systemofashane Really? Dude check out my LOG guitar covers. I only have 2 right now, and Im not a really good at it but I started playing a year ago.

[Systemofashane]

@SoadAddict91 Sure :P

[thispagesux]

for all the metalheads out there, shreddage lets you go as low as A sharp, which is 5 steps lower than regular tuning. i was worried that a synth guitar would be based around a standard electric guitar and tuning (E). luckely this allows you to play down tuned guitar parts. does anyone know how to bend the notes in shreddage like a whammy or pitch shift device?????

[HardbeatAcolyte]

That sounds really good :)

[MegAndDezShow]

I got Kontakt with Shreddage but i need a good preset for Guitar rig 4. :/ im having no luck getting it to sound as good as in this video. any help please?

[toddweller]

Looks like a really great product!

[FUHGI]

i got the panning effect working on fl 9 just go to the wrapping settings then click processing and send the first two audio channels of kontakt to different mixing tracks then pan them one to the left and the other to your right and put your amp sim on them and you ll have that awesome stereo effect with round robin ¡¡¡¡

[FUHGI]

i love its pinch harmonics and the panning effect and the way its mapped on the keyboard

[irvinyork]

I wasn't able to get it to work with Kontakt 2. Said the library was created with a higher version. Had to upgrade to the 4.

[zirconst]

@irvinyork You probably just needed to patch Kontakt 2 to the latest version; we definitely program all of our libraries with K2.

[strides2glory]

@zirconst i get the same problem, it says it was created with a higher version of konktakt. how do i upgrade?

[zirconst]

To respond to a few of these comments; this is compatible with any sequencer, all you need is the Kontakt plugin. Kontakt works in any host/DAW and Mac or PC. I personally use Kontakt in FL Studio! The drums are Steven Slate, the $20 collection from AudioMIDI that went on sale a month or two ago.

[5ilver42]

This is the stuff I've been looking for!

[FUHGI]

CAN YOU DO PITCH BENDINGS WITH THIS ?

[FUHGI]

AWESOME DUDE ¡¡¡

[Daedatheus]

@MaySeptemberBand

Yup Prominy still dominates, but this is more affordable and has a way smaller footprint which is always handy if all you're doing are rhythm guitar parts

[IzzacV]

Hee hee =)

I made something very close to this years ago. Just sampled clean guitar at high quality and ran it through guitar rig 2 at the time. Leads sound terrible but rhythms sound very believable giving a little time for humanization. I wish i knew how to do the velocity switching though.

Great job though, desertion sounds GUUUH AWESOME!

[MatNicB]

this library is the best in the market now for playing rithm heavy guitars... realstrat and prominy LPC are really awful

i presume that the shreddage guitar is a les paul so i will love if you make more libraries like this with other types of guitars

[djnaser]

good work

[Metalica413]

You sound a lot like John Krasinski from The Office

[hollidaysrain]

Wow, never thought it was possible to get a clean guitar sound without recording loops. SO awesome....!!

[blackpanther6389]

So are you using to instances of Kontakt and adding the Studio devil amp to each of em. I'm confused with what you're doin with kontakt and the two studio devil amps and round robin stuff lol I'm a nub with kontakt as you can tell lol xD.

[zirconst]

Kontakt is loading up the samples themselves, and the Studio Devil amps go on each output of Kontakt - one left-panned, one right-panned. This is for the "double tracked" sound. The round robin stuff happens automatically... you don't even need to worry about it :)

[blackpanther6389]

I know what kontakt is and what it does xD. I was confused about why you had two studio devils runnin. So let me see if I'm understandin what you're doin, you have two instances of kontakt in two different channels in the mixer, one panned left and the other right, and you have studio devil runnin through each of those right?

[galiant609]

@zirconst

Is this compatible for fl studio? If so, how can I use it on fl?

[SlipknotFreak0815]

thats system of a down^^

[BackFromPurgatory]

I'm in love and so looking forward to the DirectWave version.

Kudos!

[sorohanro]

That's a cool library, a must have for anyone who don't have access to a real guitar player... Also for who have acces but it's lazy like me :))

Keep the good work :)

[EnervatedSociety]

Well it's a step closer but still sounds like midi.

[zirconst]

Keep in mind this is just a live demo with no time spent on humanization or anything like that; the main purpose was to show how to use the library. I recommend listening to our demos such as "Desertion" and see if you still think it sounds like MIDI. :-)

[EnervatedSociety]

Will do.

[EnervatedSociety]

I don't expect a darn thing from anyone. Personally I'll play it myself. I just stated my opinion. An honest opinion. Maybe it would be wise to present the product with a before and after? The idea is to sell it, is this not true?

The samples on the site sound cool.

No harm done.

[DecadentSympozium]

@EnervatedSociety Actually it's not when you take care of it. I easily emulated Rammstein, Metallica, Testament for example.

[failinghope]

absolutely sick. \m/

[moosecat00]

That is so amazing

[AfterglowOfficiaI]

Nice plug-in. Sounds very realistic as well.
