Realistic samples

[justadog]

Hi all, again
I use alot sampletank and hypersonic but unfortunatly i just can't make this sounds sound realistic anouth. For example i take a 70's soul song and try to replay a guitar melody but with sampletank/hypersonic samples. I alway come up with a different sounding instrument even when I choose the same instrument, it sound's so plastic and un realistic!
What can I do?
Do I missing something?
Is there another, more realistic sound modules out there ?

Learn how emulate guitar correclty... cant just go to a guitar patch hit the keys and expect it to sound good.. gotta know what your doing

PlugSound has good guitars well

^ Study the Instrument Players, Learn the Features in your applications what there for what u can use them for and go from there..

Try Approaching the insturment like the Muscians does Rather than how you would as a regular piano Player


Study man use your ears there your best tool .. Take your time listen and do

For guitars your best bet is to get Virtual Guitarist, I've never heard one person put this down, its supposed to be the best VST for emulating guitars.

As for most other instruments, try getting Edirol Orchestral, I dont even compose and I have this shit, its the most quality VST you'll ever find for most instruments, it has Violins, Violas, Trumpets, Trombones and a sick Grand Piano.

Hope that helps,

Peace

the sounds u hear on a 70's record is not just the instrument sound ur hearing the mic the instrument was recorded on ur heaing the ambience of studio it was recorded in ur heaing the pre-amp, mixing console and tape sound all combined to give a certain tonal quality.

so if u choose a preset sound from some software/hardware u will need to do some additional processing to get things to sound similar.

OK This things I already understood.
Can someone be more practic? I mean give some actual tips, like what effects or eq settings to add.
btw, thx for all for you'r replys, it is very helpful.

^^ depends n the instruments and how your trying to get the instrument the sound... this why its good to understand how to use your EQ your Crossfading. Sampler Features etc so when u hear something you know what to do to emulate it its not a 1 Setting thing it all depends on the instruments and how your trying to ge them to sound

And if you know all this then you shouldn'y even be asking how to get the sounds realistic
