Unnecessary sassy statements aside, I will take the time to outline the very basic branches of virtual instruments that are most popular among budding home musicians.Īs I think I’ve made abundantly clear, any exceptions or absentees from my list is not to be a shock - if you want a digital leaf rustling sampler it most likely exists, but I think I can be excused for not listing it among the more popular musician’s tools. The other benefit of sampled instruments is, well, not everyone has the time available to become a maestro kalimba player, or whatever other obscure desired sound. That said, I am well aware that most (mine included) studios of ours have a substantial amount of space taken up by unnecessary artifacts like beds, work-desks and wardrobes, and thus we lack the room (not the finances, of course) to host the entire London Symphony Orchestra to record a couple of harmonies for our next song ‘Untitled and Unfinished Track #28’. Real instruments played by real musicians will almost always offer a sound that is inimitable, even through strenuous automation and AI learning. There is still merit, when possible, to use virtual instruments as an accessory instead of the centerpiece of a recording. Of course - what would a piece of mine be without a boring, unnecessary warning? - while technology has progressed and musicality (articulations, subtle dynamics and expressions) is better represented in VSTis, they are still not a perfect replacement for the real deal.
