    @peter

    NOTE: I’ve consulted to Orange Tree Samples and am friends with the founder. In my experience and that of many other developers, there are no other guitar and bass sample libraries from another developer that are at the same level of realism. It’s because they use a combination of very high-quality, highly detailed sampling (while a lot of guitar sample libraries are recorded in people’s home studios and not always by pro guitarists, consider that the latest Evolution library was recorded in a pro studio and was played by the guitarist in the band, The Killers) with an innovative approach that other guitar sample and plugin developers have told me they admire and consider the best in class. Evolution libraries have long been used by top composers and producers on final productions.

    I’ve had numerous, well-known Kontakt developers tell me that they know their guitar libraries aren’t in the same league as OTS guitar libraries. I use them in nearly every project I’ve ever done featuring guitar and bass guitar. Of course, their reputation means that people often overlook their other libraries. I’d highly recommend checking out the new version of Rosewood Grand. I liked the original version, but the new version, which they resampled the piano for, has become one of my favorite grand piano sample libraries. Other standouts include their Famous E — a Rhodes electric piano that was a collaboration with music legend Jay Graydon. While a lot of sample developers in this industry are still making sample libraries in homes and have flaws in the libraries — one pro in the industry pointed out that a popular guitar sample library has a TV on in the background of the samples. Orange Tree Samples not only uses pro studios, but collaborates with well respected musicians like legend Jay Graydon, the Killers’ guitarist on one of their latest Evolution libraries, and has the scripting and attention to detail that made Greg himself a legend in the sample development circles (Greg started out doing scripting with Cinesamples that was widely viewed among developers as innovative back when I first learned about him). I am a superfan of Orange Tree Samples and yes, I am a big fan of Greg as a friend — he’s a wonderful person. I’m also a superfan of Galaxy Pianos and don’t know the developer or even his name. Except for the pricing (which I’m not in love with or their lack of offering upgrade pricing to owners of SD2 for SD3), I’m a huge fan of the quality and innovations of Toontrack SD3 and libraries. All of these developers are innovators who set the way and continue to be the best in their areas of specialty.
