Re: Woodwinds

Between CSS, SWAM and now V-winds - there is hardly any situation that cannot be covered suitably for most mock-ups. Different sound perspectives are a different matter and in that line of thinking, you may need multiple libraries because a hardcore programmer may even purchase a library for just a ...

Re: Cubase MIDI modification

Actually it is possible to print the output of midi effects. Look in the inspector panel and drag that weird bar looking thing - effects that are above it will get recorded into the track, effects below will transform midi going out from the track, if that makes sense. midi-fx.gif That's how it loo...

Cubase MIDI modification [Solved]

Hello everyone, I am setting up a new large scale template and I am trying to make my life a bit easier but I have run into a dead end. I would like to set-up certain channels up in a way so that no matter at what velocity I play my keyboard, Cubase should always 'record' it at a fixed velocity. My ...

Re: VSL / Synchron Solo Strings (Violin & Cello)

It's an impressive release. I wouldn't have posted this, as I can only repeat myself. But these libraries deserve comments. Even slightly critical ones. I love these libraries on paper. It's a great selection of articulations. The sampling depth seems great. And VSL always pays attention to detail ...

Re: Hollywood Strings 2

Surprisingly vintage sounding. Like a cross between the old LASS and VSL libraries. The original announcement video sounds quite bad but the walk through is better. In many places it doesn't even sound like strings anymore! I doubt it will be useful as a stand-alone. A detail and colour obsessed pro...

Re: ProjectSAM Lineage Percussion

Tanuj-I assume you bought the Pro? Yes, I got the pro. The core version has one mic position and less number of instruments and for many people that will be useful. The premixes sound good too but I usually need to make adjustments. I am already using the library in a project right now and reached ...

Re: ProjectSAM Lineage Percussion

My suspicion was right - it sounds fantastic! It's a massive improvement on an already good sounding library. The cymbals, snares, gran casa are much better now and brings it all into 2024 nicely. The Timpani is amazing and it will replace my existing samples immediately. The tremolos sound good too...

I might pick it up today. I LOVE true strike and I have never purchased another orchestral percussion library since 2005, except for the update. But of course I need to hear the demos/walkthrough. Incredibly excited because it’s going to be much better than true strike as the library shows its age i...

Re: Abbey Road Orchestra - Violins 1 announced

I have just seen Blake's video and it sounds to me like the best Spitfire library in a long time (orchestral). It is only violins 1 but I will be getting it for sure. It may retire CSS and Berlin for me, especially once the other sections are released. I actually think this is rather special. It see...

Re: Abbey Road Orchestra - Violins 1 announced

I think that it was just a quick and joyous playback of an in development library. There has been a slight overreaction in my opinion. I am sure that the final version will sound much better than this as it’s obviously not finished. But it does seem to have the big ‘roomy’ Abbey Road sound which is ...

I think this will be very useful for lots of film and TV composers around the world because there are a lot of 'Fantasy' films, tv shows and games being made. Composers are always looking for new samples as using the same samples gets boring. It also allows for good writing tools to get the mock-ups...
