The Sound Board

Does anyone have an update on this. I was going to buy another couple of copies of SPAT v3, but I see it has been discontinued. So, if I want all studios to remain compatible, I need 4 copies of SPAT Revolution. Gulp. Any new information would be gratefully received.

I was gonna say, your example sounds excellent! How did you sample that? Trade secret. :P Release date/eta? Price? I'm afraid that this project all got shelved, due to lack of time. I don't see myself doing any more on it in the near future. Besides, it is not just about the samples. It's also abou...

Trade secret.

Yes, most developers call detaché “bowed legato” but I have yet to hear one that sounds like actual detaché and is as agile as the real thing. I have most of the big string libraries, and it just doesn’t exist in any of them. Agreed, and although my example sounds pretty good to my ears, I can't re...

The one thing I don’t understand hasn’t been sampled at all is on-the-string detaché. It’s the mother of all bowings, and literally what we (string players) play the most. I guess it’s what some developers call “bowed legato” but it just never sounds right. I would pay a boatload of money for a lib...

But Daryl, not disrepecting you or denying your greater expertice, but with "Shorts" would you define not just Spiccatos and Staccatos , but also Marcatos, Martellatos, Col Legnos, Bart Pizzes the family of detache bowings short Ponts, richochets and so forth. These all have for me differ...

The playing.

In your opinion. I beg to differ.

@Musiksculp: you should realize that Daryl is playing the Violin. :-)

I also play the Violin

Hopefully better than that dreadful video you posted.

No point. I've given my professional opinion, as an ex Professor of Violin at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. If someone chooses not to believe me, then that's their prerogative.

Muziksculp wrote: ↑Aug 30, 2018 4:24 pm Spiccato is when the bow bounces off the string

Yes, along with other bowings that bounce off the string.

Muziksculp wrote: ↑Aug 30, 2018 4:24 pm staccato the bow stays on the string.

Not necessarily. As I've already told you, spiccato is a staccato bowing.

Not sure what you are trying to say here Daryl. Staccato clearly was not invented by sample library developers. In fact, Mozart mentions the articulation in letters to his father, and in his notation he clearly distinguished between staccato and staccatissimo. And there must be sources mentioning i...

I find it odd that they have Spiccato for shorts, but don't have Staccato. Staccato is a basic, and very important articulation for strings. I wonder why they omitted Staccato ? To be accurate, there is no such articulation as staccato. That has just been invented by sample developers. All staccato...

Program Changes have been replaced by Program Lists. However, nobody seems to know how to use Program Lists...!

Overdub means playing on top of something that they have already recorded. Tracking, if you like. There is obviously no problem with re-takes for mistakes.

The UK rate for library music is a flat rate of £150 per player, per session, with a couple of caveats: 1. The Leader will probably want 25-50% extra 2. A session is 3 hours 3. You can do up to 20 minutes of music in each session 4. The Cellist will charge you porterage 5. You can't do overdubs in t...

I was pretty shocked a couple of years ago when I realised how poor average hearing is even in 40s-50s. I did a bunch of tests of willing victims on a shoot I was on - the only people who could hear 18k were the work experience teenagers. I did a test with "the boys" last year, and whilst...

Interesting, it's about a LOT of $$$$$, it could give a new interpretation of the importance of a 'producer', try to imagine the money for sir George Martin... However, a producer normally gets points, so it all depends on what the contract says and whether or not it implies that the points are tra...

Yes, it is in Nuendo but I have not been able to confirm yet to what degree. They brought it into Nuendo 7 during a maintenance release! They have broadened the theatre/game sound component of Nuendo 8 but it just hit the streets less than a week ago. I am just beginning to find my way around it. A...

I think that Dolby Atmos friendly workflow is also in the latest Nuendo.

Great! That glissando feature is really nice. What Glissando feature? Is there one? I only hear arpeggios. It did say Glissando, but he didn't play any, and I don't need anyone to play arpeggios for me....! If you have time, please could you point to the minute and second where this is demonstrated...

LOL! So, if I don't get that blond chick by drinking that brand of beer, as suggested in the commercial, I can file a lawsuit? Ha, I wish, the world would work like that! :-) Actually, in the UK ads have been pulled for not much more than that. If you make a claim, you have to be able to prove it. ...

My guess is that at their present pricing, including percussion would have pushed the price past the $2000 point, which their market research told them was unwise. Just a guess, of course. Yes, but without Percussion, it's not a Symphonic Orchestra, so it is false advertising, which, in the UK at l...

Daryl- as I said before I find it baffling, but in terms of illegality, who would bother to file suit? If it was advertised on TV, the whole thing would be pulled. No lawyers needed. As its online, I guess that the ASA https://www.asa.org.uk/?gclid=CMiv4ePKwdECFbgy0wod7WsA5A doesn't have the same p...

I am currently downloading the demo. Anyone replaced Sibelius or Finale with it yet (Seems like Daryl said he had) -if so, how are you getting along with it? No, I haven't replaced Sibelius yet. I haven't even found a project to use Dorico on. It's nearly there for one of my current projects, but t...
