No Whammy Bar, No Problem! How to Simulate Tremolo Bars Using FX Plugins or Sample One XT
In this video, Ricky shows you what to do if you don't have a tremolo or whammy bar system on your electric guitar. Sometimes you need that twang or rotary pitch shifting sound in a song. Well, there are ways to simulate it using FX plugins inside your DAW. That's approach #1.
The second approach involves using a sampler - sample any sound, whether recorded through a mic or by tapping or sampling an audio or instrument track in your DAW - then use a pitch bending wheel on a keyboard controller to simulate the whammy bar effect. PreSonus Studio One's native sampling tool Sample One XT also comes with a glissando tool that enables you to slide in and out of neighboring notes on your keyboard, much like a guitarist would bend notes. You can bend chords as well.
