It is artificial but less artificial than samples IMHO. For ensembles it's the other way around still. I prefer samples for ensembles above physical modeling.

Extremely interesting. I think it goes into the same direction as my opinion of the Roland SuperNatural string and brass sounds compared with the sample-based old SRX expansions (on a totally different level of course). The samples just have the edge in terms of realism.
@Peethoven2 ай бұрын
Thanks for listening. Yes I think so too. A little bit of sample, probably the attack portion makes it more realistic.
@wesleycolemanmusic4 ай бұрын
Definitely a clearer more classical sound with better room details in the VWinds. In the context of the "jazz noodle" I think I prefer the SWAM. They're both good, I think, just with different strengths. I might personally go for the VWinds Flutes, though. Still a bit of work to go before getting believable enough that it would fool me, but it's staggeringly close.
@Peethoven4 ай бұрын
I put this kind of comparison video's up as opinionless as I can, but I'll totally agree with you. Since I play more pop/jazz/hybrid than classical music, I have a slight preference for SWAM. But if I wanted more realism, I probably would use VWinds or Aaron Venture's Infinite Woodwinds, which didn't participate in this comparison.

100% wet reverb signal from swam would make it more realistic comparison
@Peethoven4 ай бұрын
Perhaps but this was a 'Non scientific comparison' I am not that interested in making them exactly similar. I see these as different Clarinets with different ways of playing. You have to find the sweet spots of these instruments, sweet spot in sound and learn a way of playing that brings out these sweet spots. And you have to get acquainted with the configuration inside these instruments. Experimentation with different settings in the DAW, panning, reverb can definitely also help with that. All depends also a lot on style. For Klezmer and Jazz I prefer SWAM. For classical and more restrained music I prefer Acoustic Samples. When I listen back to the video after 3 months I prefer SWAM for this Gerschwin fragment (Jazz/Klezmer mixture). Even without the 100% wetness of the reverb signal! :-)

Thanks! I'll agree about the strings, but that midi part was just given. I did nothing with it to improve it, to rearrange it, divide it in separate sections etc.. But that was also not the point of this 'experiment'.. This was making Infinite Brass and SWAM sound good and believable compared with the original. And I think it was ok. 🙂

Take the best of each and combine into one. The SWAM sounds better in this comparison than I expected. And I find it hard to believe there's no way to get more fff from AcousticSamples. BTW, Does anyone have a realistic modeled string library at this level though,?
@ShaharHarshuv5 ай бұрын
Swam is the only one with a modeled string library AFAIK. v3 is much better than v2, but it works best for solos. I know they also released a "string sections" plugin but I haven't gotten the chance to check it out.
@Peethoven4 ай бұрын
Sorry for my late reply. Somehow I missed your remark. Yes the AcousticSamples can't go to fff. For solo strings, I find it hard to get a good tone out of the SWAM solo strings. I think the ones from Sample Modeling are better. But for that library I don't really like playing in the shorts. Too much tweaking is needed to make them sound good.

Good question. Yes I think it's possible. If listened to a lot of bass clarinet. (mostly modern classical music performed by dutch performer Harry Sparnaay).

For classical music, I think you're right and the ones for AS sound more natural although they are missing a good forte layer. And if you're looking for a Klezmer of Balkan Clarinet, AS sounds to tame to my taste and the SWAM one is a better fit. But YMMV. Thanks for your response!

@Captain_Rickard10 ай бұрын
Acoustic Samples is definitely a cut above the rest, the second ones really good too, if the automation programming was a bit better could be a contender. Swam just sounds synthetic to me
@Peethoven10 ай бұрын
I think I'll agree to a certain extent. The 'not so good programming' was actually 'not so good playing'. I never used more than two takes. No editing afterwards. The latency of Aaron Ventures Infinite Woodwinds made it harder to play. The SWAM could use a little more vibrato on some notes. But I don't think it sounds synthetic and it has a beautiful quack that the others are missing. :-) The Acoustic Samples is indeed the best all-rounder. In plonkability and in sound.

Thank you! If you mean if it's possible to play staccato with SWAM strings? Sure. You can do that without key-switches. Just play them shorter. If you want arcs, you have to mold the notes (vibrato and expression) and the phrasing during playing, I use a breath controller for expression and the modulation wheel for vibrato) although it's also possible to adapt the notes after recording.

It has the most latency of the tree, but hopefully the update will improve on that. Enjoy your choice and make music with it. I checked out your channel, very good!
