Use the right samples and VI’s and you’re golden. You can bring the sample,VI in -18, -15 all you’d like to but, that “crunchiness” will be printed onto your recording. When you overdrive converters, there is no correcting this problem as, it is printed to disc with a “crunchiness” you will never be able to get rid of. If, the smaples/VI’s you are using were not recorded using proper gain-staging technique, they are useless. A lot of stuff leaves no headroom whatsoever, and while you may believe, a sound “Bumps,” this doesn’t mean, it sounds good. The main issue I have with samples/VI’s is, many were recorded improperly. I love analog gear but, I do not discount new technology. Some VI’s are great, some modled instruments are fantastic. Funny thing is, this guy is a very capable guitarist himself, and he could not replicate using software, what he could play easily on any of my guitars. I was working with a very capable hip hop/pop producer last night who was attempting to replicate hammer-ons, and pull offs in FL Srudio. Both of these instruments are almost impossible to recreate using a keyboard. II am a guitarist, and I have recorded more than one lisaxophone.
