MusicLab is a software developer specializing in sample-based virtual guitar instruments for music production. Operating since 2004, the company built its reputation around the RealGuitar plugin, which combines deeply sampled acoustic guitars with chord-recognition and rhythmic-pattern engines designed to make programmed guitar parts sound performed rather than sequenced.

The product line has expanded into a family of instruments modeled after specific iconic electric guitars: RealStrat (Stratocaster), RealLPC (Les Paul Custom), RealRick (Rickenbacker), RealEight (8-string electric for metal and rhythm work), and RealGMS (modeled on the Godin Multiac Spectrum SA). Each instrument ships with a large library of articulations, picking and strumming behaviors, MIDI pattern banks, and tunings.

MusicLab's tools are widely used by producers and composers working in pop, rock, country, and film/TV scoring contexts where convincing guitar parts are needed without tracking a live player. The plugins run as VST, VST3, AU, and AAX in major DAWs.

MusicLab has 6 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Virtual Instrument. Their gear is featured by 10 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Rock, and Pop. Notable users include Mark Mothersbaugh, Christopher Franke, and Yasunori Mitsuda.
