Sonar X1C fixed my Real Guitar Problem

 
ouch - accoustic guitar or "real guitar"? :P
 
there is little difference between this:

 
and THIS :-P

it's easier than keyboard :D and gives more fun... and girlfriends :)

no problemo, pal :)
I use Rob Papen RG as well sometimes :) I can't play funky licks :)

Most real guitar players are fools already. Sorry just kidding but i can say that because I are one.

RealGuitar isn't just for keyboard players. I'm a 61-year old guitarist with arthritis in some of my finger joints, especially in my fretting hand. Single note/solo stuff isn't too much of a problem yet, but my hand just won't do many old familiar chord formations anymore. My plans to record some of my own instrumental stuff was seriously in jeopardy. I have RealGuitar (still learning it), and I'm planning to get RealStrat (a Strat is my weapon of choice). With those 2 virtual instruments, I'll be able to realize my plans. And I wouldn't call them "pseudo" guitar sounds, since they're actual audio samples of every note, every fret, every string of real guitars. They're real guitar sounds, just digitally sequenced. IMHO.

well, I'm "hapy one" who haven't even learned notes, so from my point of wiev it was easier start to play (ie) chords on guitar than keyboard. Ina fact I've started "play" guitar earlier than piano. But if it comes to notes and advanced techniques - guitar is more "flexible" and gives more in articulation, expression, but the same time - it could be more difficult to master.

I assume the people that complain about other people using RG (horrible name though, I agree) are not using any other fake instruments themselves, like drum, bass, brass plugins etc...? Those people play the real instruments in those cases, right?

Makes sense to me.

But - there are reasons to be "proud" when you'll learn new licks, solo or rif and play it by yourself.

So you are saying one can only be "proud" when learning something new on a guitar? There is no way to be "proud" learning something new on any other instrument?
 
Hey, I'm not singling you out. Just pointing out the hypocrisy when it comes to this topic.

I played acoustic guitar on thousands of tracks as a session player (even though keyboard is my main instrument). I have a hand injury from Tae Kwon Do that now limits my guitar playing ability. I can still play, but not well enough for a record. RealGuitar will not do everything a guitarist can do, but the reverse is true as well. Using it is not a compromise. Another consideration: RealGuitar takes more work to get realistic parts, but it also eliminates the labor associated with recording an acoustic instrument (micing, controlling noise, EQ, performance issues, etc.) Philosophy aside, if you want to use a virtual or software guitar, MusicLab's RealGuitar is the way to go. More on topic, I had trouble getting it to work in X1 B running in 64-bit. Glad X1 C solved the OP's issue.

So let's go to the point, because this discussion is very similar in background to the discussions about "who can call himself a DJ - this one who plays from vinyls, or maybe this one too, who uses DJ software and controllers and mp3s"....
 
So now - without arguing, unnecesarry discussions about nothing etc. OK? ;-)
Just leave discussions about "real" and "fake", and try to get opinions from the others:

Which one (or more) guitar emulations you use and why do you prefer this/these over others?

I think konradh started very well and with rational reasons.
I'm very interested in "ear point of view"....

From my experience - as I wrote above, if/whe I have no chance to ask my friends to help me, or I just make a project, I use NI or Rob Papen's "fake" guitars to make backing licks.
First because of the sound, second because of editing licks capabilities (good word?).
Sometimes I do exeriments with AAS, but altrough chord engine seems to be OK, but sound isn't.
But most of the "riff-work" and some solos I try to do by myself.

anone has contact with PROMINY SC guitar? 64 gigs library is pretty impresive...
