It works in Steinberg and any other DAW that uses VST (which is Steinbergs own protocol) but not in PT12 or any of the PT versions.

Hope that clears things up for you.

Jack - They work in AAX in PT12 as we tried them. I am not as impressed as the guys who writes reviews on their website.

SILK for example sounds more like a guy pockimg on a viola or something similar. A Harp maybe but not a accoustic guitar. The IRON sound way to electronic for our taste and songs. The artists we work with would never go for that sound of guitars but maybe if they are processed and tweeked to hell they would pass as a VI guitar but never a real "guitarist" ... no way.
Thanks for the info as the developer isn't clear on exactly what they support.

As to the sounds - I have yet to find ANY of these guitar libraries sound even close to a real guitar (amongst other things I'm an axe slinger from way back). The reason acoustic guitars tend to sound like harps is because harps are really a plucked instrument just like a guitar. Take a listen to a '12 string acoustic' sampled guitar and they'll sound just like the theme music for the Addam's Family TV show (which is mostly a harpsichord which is also a plucked instrument). Like you say naked they don't sound that great but processed a multitude of sins can be hidden.
