Easily Transform your Acoustic Piezo Pickup into a Multi-Miked Acoustic

The Wood Works plug-in gives you exceptional studio microphone sound from any piezo-equipped acoustic guitar. Now you can easily track multi-dimensional acoustic tones in real time — even in situations that would challenge physical microphones. Wood Works also allows you to “re-mic” your guitar tracks as you mix — refocusing or radically reshaping them at any stage of the mix, even if your guitar was recorded in a less-than-perfect environment or a live performance.

    It works - within limits.

    This is a very useful plugin. There is no substitute to recording a good acoustic guitar with a good microphone but this is the next best thing.

    Great - with room to grow

    This is designed for acoustic guitar, but I purchased it to use on acoustic bass for DI tracks. It was definitely helpful and brought out more of the acoustic vibe. I’ve heard some sampling pedals that do even better job, so I know there is room for improvement, but this did help quite a bit. Not exactly equal to the microphone, but enough that when I needed to duck the microphone out because of noise or other issues, it was definitely much better sounding than the DI even with EQ. Still have to try it on acoustic guitar at some point, but worth the purchase price – at least the on sale purchase price. The full retail price is pretty expensive. Hoping that if there is an update, there might be some focus on acoustic bass presets, though I know that market is pretty small.

    Acoustic plug in

    Sounds not bad at all though I’d say it makes the sound wider n deeper, I’m pleased with the resulting sounds available
