I think the only thing that doesn’t sound human here is you my man. Pumping out all the content you do, and giving us all the good information. Totally inhuman lol. I personally haven’t experimented with midi guitars since I play guitar but my brother might get a real kick out of trying some of these techniques since he’s a drummer. Thanks for the tips as always.

As a guitar player for 18 years with a recently severed fingertip rendering me unable to play. recently i have had to utilise sampled guitars and rethink how i feel about sampled guitars. I have no issue with it anymore. Appreciate this video and how helpful it is to people in my current situation 🤘🤘

Great video ! I'll be happy to see more content about midi guitar/Bass/drums/instruments

Oh, great timing on this video! Your transition game is always actually top tier it's scary. I know that Tokyo Scoring Strings has a crazy look ahead feature, and it's made by the same people behind the Shreddage libraries, so maybe they aren't actually that far out. The low end tip actually seems insane, gotta try it out.

Well done. Helpful tips for sure👍🏻🤘🏻 And yeah, I would be interested in acoustic guitar realism. The native instruments picked and strong acoustic I have are really awesome, but always good to see improvement tips

I know what I'm saying doesn't have to do with midi guitar.. but I have been watch your videos for a while and been learning alot and applying it as well and I'm taking on my first band in my home studio.. I posted I song I did about a month ago after watching, following and applying what i learned from this channel and it seemd to really impressive to these guys. I'm a little nervous but excited at the sametime.. thanks for diving into alot of the topic you guys do from drums to bass and guitars. I truly appreciate it and hope to share some of the music with you guys. Until then CHEERS my dude !!

Rad to see Solemn Tones getting the shout out! I love Mjolnir Drums and Kraken Bass as well!

Great job, man!

I'm about to be without guitar access for several months so this is well timed and pretty useful. 12/10 for the sub CTA too.

Dude you are a lifesaver. I live in a hospital so I’ve got to fully program everything, never could get guitars right! I’m hype!

Thank you for this brother!

YO Miami !!! I love your enthusiasm!! Another killer video from the whole JST team !!

Yes to acoustic MIDI guitar tips. Thanks!

Loved this one! In general, I would love to see a humanizing MIDI series for acoustic & clean electric guitars, bass & drums (both stuff like toon track and 1 shots). For me, the big things I don’t know are the ms or sample ranges that would be appropriate for timing, nor the velocity ranges to stick with or to avoid. Anyways, thanks for another kickass video!

Dude, this video couldn't be more on time. Buddy just sent me a full midi session for a demo and I'm using Odin. Boutta knock his socks off! Thank you so much Miami!

these toold are honestly a great help to me, and in no way a replacement, i'm still learning guitar and i'd love to get to the point where I don't need them like that anymore

Keep 'em coming 🤘🏿

Moving one track before the grid and one after it is brilliant! Thanks for the tip!

This was good man

I’d like to see the acoustic midi sounding realistic. I’m not in a metal band but I have a BG in hardcore and punk rock so I get a lot of advice from you, Joey and Glen Ficker from SMG. Thanks for all your content brotha! I’ve learned a lot from you. Keep up the great work!

FINALLLY! Thank you Miami!

DOPE! Would like to see how u made that palm mute sound. Diggn the sound over all tho. Great work!

this is gold, solo musicians that do covers or social media demo stuff could benefit of this, i think the first tip it's so obvious for all the midi programming that you didn't want to say it: You have to write down the parts correctly and with logic, some people try to write these unrealistic fingerings and riffs that doesn't translate well to realistic sounds, or the other way around, way too simple, no ringing out, even no muting, etc

Acoustic MIDI guitar video would be very interesting!!!

Hmmmm. I recently relocated to another country and left all my gears like guitar, preamps and audio interface in my home country. But every day I have a bunch of new melodies in my head, so this is a good trick to make some tracks without a guitar! Thanks!

Would love to see the acoustic Guitar Video!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤟

i really appreciate this video

Hi Miami! Can you make a Drumforge tutorial to get similar drum sound like in this video? 🤘🏻🥁

Great video! I find chugs/rhythm/breakdown/lower octave stuff relatively easy to make sound realistic but my problems are with leads and solos. They sound wayyy to fake and easy to spot. Any tips on that? Thanks!

Got some demos I'm working on that have midi guitar because of all the reasons you listed at the start. Been using RealLPC and Hydra, and tbh its already sounding close to decent. After I finish doing scratch vocals I'm keen to try this process on the guitars to see how it comes out the other side. Also, RealLPC is the only one I've tried that has that gives me the stank face when palm mutes come in. Low end feels great on it. Although I've been eyeing off odin too...

i usually dont comment on these videos but miami you are so goated and funny 🙏🙏🙏

ur pro as hell :)

Yaaaassss!!Odin!!!!!! My buddy and I got Solemn Tones Odin recently, and we have been very grateful of it. Funny enough, I follow both Solemns Music channel, and his Yugioh Channel :D It's time to M-m-m-m.m.m.m.MIDI......

JST thumbnails have no chill. I love it.

Being a drummer who uses Odin heavily in my writing, this video was very helpful. The only thing that i struggle with is getting my midi guitars sustain their notes more during a long outro of a song & not a lot of videos seem to talk about that particular subject.

Of course we want the acoustic guitar video !

More tutorials on how to program these kind of sounds would be great from a non-guitar/bass player. Also, some protect downloads to study the midi would be usefull.

I actually used ODIN and everything is 100% midi in my 2 latest covers on my channel. Post Malone Rockstar and Cher's Believe. I think making MIDI sound more human depends a lot on the type of song and what's being played. Just the amp sim you use can make a ton of difference.

Even though I’m not one to use it (MIDI guitar), it’s such a great tool for composition or inspiration, helpful for many I’m sure. On a similar note, I’d love to see a vid on how you edit guitars in Reaper. It’s something I’ve spent hours creating hot keys for, learning how to do, but seems to be hard to find videos on. I know I would’ve loved to have something like that when I was learning how to do it. Same goes for vocals too. Just a thought, great vid as per usual. :)

I like playing guitar. That’s reason enough for me, not to use MIDI guitars. But very interesting, how far it has come. By the way, that progression with the synth supporting is just amazing!

sorry im a latecomer to the video but I was wondering how many semitones to shift the duplicate for the low end boost -- or just the octave? Also how does one edit "transients before and after the beat? Is there a resource you can refer me to? Thanks for your time and teachings.

Ayeeeeeee 💥🔥💥

Ok 1 Need to listen to that song, Miami those are some kick ass pipes 2 Midi guitars... Yeah! Loving the idea, the perfect tool for creating backing tracks (and hence drill some finger knotting exercises at ever increasing tempos, different keys, etc) In short... Awesome stuff!!!

what guitar vst is this?

hey miami :) can i hear some of your production?

Appreciate the video! For some reason, guitar MIDI still upsets people as if the bassists and drummers haven't been getting the same treatment for the past 10 years now, lol. I love it for demoing because I can knock out a whole song so quickly, and with this I might be able to even eventually release a track with all MIDI instruments. We have been making metal production so fake with hyper editing that at this point might as well just go all the way and commit, haha.

I can’t figure out how to use midi controllers dude it’s breaking my brain. I have a sweet keytar I can’t figure it out. Or where to get plug-ins/sound modules. If anyone has some tips @ me please

maybe you can do a new video. there is now odin 2 here and axe machinica. many like play a guitar midi vsti and trigger it with a guitar audio to midi plugin to play double tracked rythm. I do tests but problem with this midi guitar is that mutes and chuggs sound very bad. for example when play the rammstein song du hast or many others. maybe you can get good sounding with toneforge amp sim modification ?

Cool video. It would be cool if they made virtual guitar on ios.

Please!, show us how to humanize the MIDI guitars like you did it for this video, although if you have one video like that, I'd appreciate if you tell us here it is.

I'm confused on what midi ur using for the vst raw guitar sound :(

what plugin you use to have the DI Guitar?

I want to know how to WRITE guitar into the piano roll. In terms of getting more natural sounding voicings. Maybe ill learn here but if not ill leave this comment up

How about using midi guitar for a shredding lead?

Oh!!! Mic giveaway soon?!? ✨️ 😃

The main thing I struggle with is getting any riffs on the higher strings sounding more real cause they just sound so fake. Any tips?

I just subbed harder than you can djent! 😅

🐐🐐🐐

Noooooooooooooooooooo 😭 Edit: I had to get to 2:10 thank you Miami for relating to and expressing how guitar players feel. I personally don't like the thought of people not learning the instrument and instead programming it to the point of it being EDM, however I do understand the reasoning. Simply, people want to make music. I'm still salty though.... 😩

New Subscriber here

Acoustic MIDI, yes!

for the lowend part can you use an octave pedal?

People always ask me how I get my guitars sounding so good x D midi baybayyy

10:12. It was at this moment he knew…

08:02

I'm a guitarist and I actually think it's great. Just another tool for song writing.

Another major mistake of programming MIDI guitars is not using libraries that offer a broad array of articulations, or, if they do, not using them - dead notes, palm mutes, scrapes, harmonics, squeals - they're all essential. Fret position is another thing people overlook: the tone of one note can vary a lot depending on which string you play it. Fortunately, some sample libraries are taking this into consideration and giving us awesome new things every year!

2:55 the video starts

The best tool in your arsenal to make MIDI guitars sound real is to actually learn to play a real guitar, and you'll instinctively know what sounds right and what doesn't.

No Humani(z)ation*

poor mic 😆

your voice kinda sounds like Ronnie Radke if he had a shoegaze phase this isn't an insult i stg

these are old tips. The true problem isn't any of these. It's the source sound.

I'm a guitarist, and I love writing on guitar, but when it comes to recording then MIDI guitars are the best! No need to worry about dull strings, or faulty cables, and every take is perfect first time every time. Unless someone from a MIDI company comes to my door and says I'm not allowed to play guitar any more, then I don't see the issue? I think folk just like to gatekeep.

It's so much easier to just grab a guitar and play it, than spend hours mapping out shit and trying to humanize MIDI.

Midi guitars sound fake because the samples are stretched.

I feel metalcore is just getting more fake and industrialized by all these tools. Yes, it allows more people to create their art, but also most of metalcore musicians suck in their songwriting skills and all of them sounding the same doesn't help neither.

Or hire a real session guitar player to record your part.

Please make a video about Ukraine, it is so necessary now! Now our cities are being bombed, Ukrainians are dying.

I would of subbed, but the shit you were doing around that mic and with your eyes was weird. Just keep it real brother.
