Looking for advice: min of rock or min of rock 2

[Dreamofthenight92]

Hi!

To complete my sound set I need a good rock vst. I look for some good drums kit, very good acoustic basses. Probably I won't need good e-guitars, because I never plan long solo-electricguitar pieces in my songs (I usually use them only for power chords! And most of time I use synthetizers for electric guitars).
What are the differences between min of rock and min of rock 2? What should I buy for good drumkits and good basses?

I have Ministry of Rock 1 and, while the drums and basses are decent, I do find some limitations, especially with the drums.
The big thing to bear in mind is that the MoR series doesn't have acoustic basses, only electric ones. I never really use acoustic basses, so I can't recommend a good product for that purpose.
I very much like *most* of the basses in Ministry of Rock 1. Nearly all of them can be put to good use in a nice variety of musical situations. I'm not sure on Ministry of Rock 2's basses.

As for drums, MoR 2 has a much better representation of drums than MoR 1. MoR 1 does still have a gorgeous sound, don't get me wrong, I use the drums from it all the time! I just find that some cymbal techniques are non-existant and MoR 1 doesn't have the multiple mics that MoR 2's drums have.

If you want nearly the best drums money can buy, I'd say Ministry of Rock 2.

The drums in MOR 2 are much more detailed.More velocity layers and round robins.The hi hats are realistic.
Check out the MOR 2 tutorial videos.

Thanks for reply!

I think I will choose min of rock 2 because I saw the tutourial and the drums are perfect for my purposes, and the basses are good too.

I'm also deciding between MOR 1 and MOR2,
Im into clean/semi-driven guitars. I really like cleaner guitars in MOR 1 demos: "Coporate Critters", "Shed My Skin", "Other World", "Modern Rock", "A lost love".
I listened to MOR 2 demos, and videos, even though I was told that MOR 2 has better guitars, but didn't like mor 2's clean guitars as much as mor 1. According to Demos.
maybe there are more clean guitars in mor 2 than weren't used in the demos..

are there clean guitars in MOR 2 just like in the MOR 1 demos: "Coporate Critters", "Shed My Skin", "Other World", "Modern Rock", "A lost love" ?

For semi driven guitar, you can't beat the carvin bridge, in MOR 2.The guitars in MOR2 are more detailed than MOR1
I still like MOR1.You can get both with the 2 for 1 promo until 6/30.Check out the clean and semi driven guitars in fab four.

I wanna buy 2 EWQL products thru this promotion, but i don't wanna buy 2 MORs (yet), I want a second one either Silk, Symphonic Choirs, Gypsy, Storm Drum, Voices of Passion or Pianos, hard to decide, but definitely one of MOR.


what type of guitars were used in those demos in MOR1?
and, does MOR2 have an acoustic guitar?
how does carvin bridge sound like, is it used any audio demo on website?

The telecaster clean worth the money in MOR 1, for all the rest, MOR 2 wins. (I have both)
