Re: Audiobro Eternity: Adult Choir

And yup I bought it, and yup it is awesome. I've been noodling with the divisi patches for the last hour and they are very inspiring.
Genesis - Sop Divisi - Alto Divisi.mp3
(1.15 MiB) Downloaded 99 times
That's Genesis, then the Divisi Sopranos, then the Divisi Altos. Close mics only going into Berlin Studio.

Re: Crow Hill: String Murmurations (intro £149)

Next level auto accompaniment keyboard. Really nice legato transitions except those you actually play (as far as I can see). The sound is beautiful. But it doesn't look like the performance is following any voice leading. It sounds more like "oh, a new chord, lets play it from there". Yup...

Re: Crow Hill: String Murmurations (intro £149)

Pull up a gesture preset, play a long sustained chord using just the “in key” notes on your keyboard controller. ...and thats it. All the white notes tend to refer to the key of C a happy primary colour, or Amin a sad primary colour. With various “modes” which contain more nuanced and complex harmo...

Re: Performance Samples - Pacific Ensemble Strings

That is a lovely piece of music. The Pacific aesthetic truly is a very romantic expressive one, it seems. Reminds me of Vista, but with more articulations. Would that be a fair assessment? Defiantly. It feels (and plays) like an evolution of the Vista concept, with the playing being more restrained...

Re: Performance Samples - Pacific Ensemble Strings

Here's a random thing I wrote when I was messing around with it. Mostly keeping to lower dynamics (it never goes above 100 on CC1). All strings are Pacific apart from a violin line from Vista at 1:09, and the full Vista sections at 1:50 - 2:10. Using the EQ settings Blakus suggested as well as some ...

Re: Performance Samples - Pacific Ensemble Strings

This library ticks so many boxes for me. It's very much like Vista, but more controlled and less over the top vibrato. It has some of the best con sord, soft, and pizzicato samples I've ever heard! I can produce some demos if you guys want to hear anything specific from the library.

Re: Spitfire / Appassionata ("Impulse Legato" Strings)

This sounds like a good step forward for Spitfire in terms of playability (and dynamic layers), however I'm not hearing anything that I can't already achieve using a combination of CSS and Vista. In most demos that I have heard where people are doing direct comparisons to either of these two librari...

I would guess he uses his real Oboe :D To my shame I haven't picked up my oboe for a few years now. Biggest issue is reeds are quiet expensive, and only last for a few months or so. It takes a lot of practice and effort to stay in playing form on the oboe, so if I don't have a project to play it fo...

Re: Audio Modeling SWAM V3 of Solo Woodwinds, Double Reeds, Clarinets, and Sax Released

The pitch range of the melody is rather suited for an English horn solo or maybe even for Bassoon, if you want that pale tone. With the Oboe it is rather in that range where you don't use the Oboe, if you want a sweet, singing tone. Your use of the mod wheel (or breath controller) for dynamics is I...

I compared the AM flute to the BBCSO flute performance legato and the behavior isn't too different.

Flutes are still useless for anything classical related. I don't think so. I'd love for someone to provide a demo that shows otherwise. I can do some nice quasi-ethnic, funk, or jazz stuff with them, but I can't get anywhere close to what I'd call an acceptable classical sound. I'll happily be show...
