The Sound Board

Why use up and muddy up hard drive space?

Hitsville Strings...
Strings of the Seventies/Sixties
Smash Hit Strings...if they come out bad you can lose the H......someone will get it.

I can add more in time.

If I remember correctly they had quality control issues with breakage, was that addressed?

Thanks again Piet for doing the heavy lifting. You are probably way more detail conscious than I am, probably why I always enjoy listening to your music. I am often "that sounds good enough let's move on". I figure if it is good enough for me it probably will be for "most" people...

Guy, I mentioned this in my earlier post but might have been editing it as you were posting.

Thanks for doing all this Piet, I don't mind the MS bass tone but of course there is more room in it which an AC Bass does not need and probably made it tougher to program the legatos. Example 2 is not quite fair as all the notes need to be earlier in the MS Bass's part to create a decent performanc...

I like the slides. Tonewise, not better than the Premiere to me. I think in general libraries recorded pulling notes from performances suffer a bit tone wise in exchange for fluidity. Of course also sequencing with them has the drawback of the notes coming in a tiny bit late which you have to compe...

I am in agreement with Jay.

I bought the Ronroco, the last of the Red Room Audio fiddles that I didn't already have May I ask which one that is? I picked up their Gypsy fiddle. Already had the Celtic and Bluegrass versions. They get major props for capturing the sounds and styles of the Celtic and Bluegrass fiddlers. I'm not ...

Here is one I could not resist. For you guitarists...Neural DSP.

50% off everything except one product which is 30%.

I have had a chance to mess with it some and it is very cool. Legato phrasing is excellent and the word builder is about as intuitive as one can be if you are into that kind of thing. I did not mess with epic so no idea how punchy it is there. Tons of options but you can still get a work flow quickl...

I love a lot of my SF stuff but the second Paul played a fast run I was transported back to the 90's (unfortunately my body remains in 2023). I'll give these a chance as I see a more detailed walk through but not excited by this first look.

HS has very usable ports I can send a demonstration but since you have them I would think you are covered. Besides the sound the great thing in Afflatus is the execution of the poly legato which makes mocking up or composing easier. Yes Lass has it but I think they are executed a bit better here tho...

half percent is good!
instrument looks really interesting.
looking forward to your rundown of NAMM on VI.

Who doesn't want to relive The Plague through virtual instruments?

This has always been the way with sample libraries and of course many other things. Giga studio was the first 3rd party plugin that could use a computer, they are gone. Garriton was the first to do RR's (well he did two) he is gone. VSL the first to do Legato, they are still here. Audio Bro was the ...

Here in the US my loyalty discou design nt and intro pricing bring it down to $289. On the one hand that is a pretty decent discount. On the next hand I think the design is pretty clever, two different sizes of the same orchestra could be really cool, and really useful. On the third hand, Homay's w...

Thanks Guy!

Guy, I know we are both big fans of the violin but in the demos I hear of the cello the vibrato seems too much often for say using as a first chair (the violin functions very well in that capacity). Wondering what your experience is with this. I have Tina and the new Intimate Cello (which does not w...

I am a bit biased as Mike is just a good dude but this is one of those libraries for at least what I do I hope people will kind of ignore it so I can keep it for myself. That's not exactly fair as it is very malleable so it is easy to roll your own. Working on a Warner project and it fits like a glo...

Since the AXE interface is discussed I wonder if there is some correlation to AXE-Fx

Another Bohemian user here. It is the first solo Violin I go too. it's not the player (though the new one is greatly improved) it is how it fits into a track. The new ensemble features make this even better than it was before. It may not be perfect for everything but I have nothing even close to as ...

There are few things out this year that have made me happier sample wise than this update.

Thanks Piet!

I think this is a fantastic release and one of the few upgrades recently I would have been happy paying for, that it is free makes it that much better. I am tempted to buy the cello just because of how useful the violin is but the tone to me feels a bit constrained for lack of a better term. Anybody...
