All that aside, AAS Strum GS-2 is the most faithful reproduction of any acoustic guitar you can put on your computer desktop. As a guitarist, I’d really appreciate a full, multitimbral guitar in order to have individual MIDI input to each string. Is Strum GS-2 perfect? As I noted earlier, a user-definable hammer-on, pull-off range would be valuable, and a 12-string model would be great. There’s panoply of impressive presets, but if you don’t find what you need, the Edit page is a click away. The performance-oriented layout of the Play page grants access to the most important tweaks you would need for live performance. Steel-String guitars are detailed and convincing. Nylon-string guitars are warm, rich, and expressive. Conclusions There’s plenty more to tweak here, but first and foremost the instruments sound very, very good. they are very very good.Personally I tend to gravitate to OT's as I love Greg's amp sims and I'm use to their amazing playability but, the GS-2 set is an unbelievable deal.especially now with the holiday $49 upgrade sale/$99 first time buyer sale. you get a slew of electric, steel string AND Nylon string guitars. Don't know how they've done the physical modeling so well. I've got virtually all the guitarz mentioned here and OT/GS-2 stands head to head with almost all. Comments above, about AAS Strum are now INVALID. PS I also use RealStart and RealLPC from MusicLab, but RealGuitar is my backbone. It is very easy to use once you get a couple of ideas down (like pattern playing mode). The RealGuitar manual is not super easy to understand but I can help you, and so can several others on this forum. Example: NI does not have a good straight 8ths pattern. If you depend on acoustic guitar to drive every song (which I do) and you use complex chords or custom strumming, you probably need RealGuitar. If you don't need anything fancy, NI is a great deal and sounds good enough for any record. It will also do solo guitar parts, finger picking, and it offers steel, nylon, and 12-string guitars. RealGuitar will allow you to play BOTH the chords it knows (chord mode) or custom chords (keyboard mode) and since strumming is controlled by keyswitches, you can do any strumming pattern imaginable. What it does, though, sounds awesome and the ability to adjust voicings is great. You may find the inability to create your own strumming patterns limiting, however. The second issue (finite number of chords) will only come up if you want exotic or chords. The NI product does sound fantastic but it will only play the preset strumming patterns built into it, and will only play the chords it knows. I have both and use both heavily, but I use RG a lot more.
