Just goes to show its more about the composer and their programming than the library.

Most emotional of these libraries is Pacific to me. We are lucky that we can use those kind of libraries these days...

what happened to the audio quality ? Was fine for pacific but then the audio quality i really not good !!

Chamber really shines through here. It has better clarity and sounds more natural than the other two. Usually I find the chamber sound less so. It's clear the symphonic has a lot of room reverb, is that mostly the case?

I dont't understand why some people poopoo Spitfire. To me they sound better than CS and most other stuff

Hi, I'm "young" in strings production 😁 I would like to know why didn't you copy the same expression on each part ? Indeed I see that you have an unique expression automation for each part (VL 1, VL 2, viola...). Wouldn't be faster to copy the same expression automation on all the parts ?

@curlykeys8261 3 ай бұрын

Hey :) so automating each instrument/ section individually allows you to achieve more realism! With a real orchestra, the subtle differences between each player add breath and life to the music. The expression modulation being a little different for each track helps to push these sample libraries to sounding their most realistic.

I think Solo Strings sounds the best for pure emotional pieces in something like a drama or telenovela. My Grandmother watches various telenovela shows with this distinct sound, and honestly, I think I might pick up Solo Strings when I see a steep discount for it. I already have the Solo Violin, meaning I have the 25% discount to it, but I'm broke at the moment.

Great video! Also just a thought for Pacific to push the strings back a little and make it sound even more natural. Try setting the close mics for each Pacific instrument to -7db and then set the panning left or right based on if it's violins, violas, cellos, or basses. Magic! I was watching a master mixing video (of someone who mixes orchestra for a living) and he said that typical for him is to have close mics around -10db of the volume of the main mics (and -6db when you really want to emphasize the instrument). Since the main mics in this case already on avg are around 3 db louder than the close mics, moving the close mics down -7db gets you close to that sweet spot. Obviously tweak to taste. But just a thought :) cheers

I listened to all of these examples. And then i listened to some live strings in a similar vane. And Pacific is by far the closest to how a real section sounds live. Not hyped. Not over detailed. No bumps. It's clear that Jasper holds overall tone/sound really high on the list. You may not get the versatility of CSS and others, but what you do get is superior Tone. Pacific has that classic, authentic tone. Spitfire Symphonic i think has a pretty nice tone, but it comes with too many shortcomings in the legato and dynamic layer/crossfade. And it has a bit of that "Hyped Highs" that i just can't get with.

@@MrMusicopathnot only does it have insane playability, but he's also going to update it to fix and refine even further the playability with a free update after he makes Pacific brass, Pacific solo strings, and Vista 2. Vista 2 is a similar size in instruments to css and Berlin strings, Vista I already has one of the best legatos on the market.

It didn't take me up to ten seconds to be pulled in by the beauty of the Pacific ensemble strings. They have such a beautiful, soulful texture to them and for someone like me who loves it when instruments sing, I think I might have just found my go-to library❤ However, I think at the end of the day, it all depends onthe story the composer is trying to tell. For one scenario, you might want a library as expressive and somewhat "mournful" as Pacific ensemble strings or one that's slightly more "stoic" or "detached"

Pacific + CSS is just amazing. Having both of them really takes your music to a whole new level. Pair that up with some Spitfire Albions like Tundra and Neo, and you are covered for cineamtic string writing for a long long long time.

TSS really lives after processed (excited for the 2.0 update). I know people like to layer it with CSS or other libraries which sounds quite nice together. I do love Pacifica and the Spitfire Air sound is great for pieces like this. Great video Victor!

What do you think sounds better than Spitfire?

@chilloutambient1249 10 ай бұрын

I wouldn't say it's "outdated". It's got its own sound and it is useful in some situations, particularly when layering. Their Con Sordino and Flautendo are very unique and sound absolutely great and beautiful. I still use it and I wouldn't be able to find any Flautendo able to compete with SCS. I Personally find that Spitfire has a lot more definition than some other libraries but I recommend to purchase a library that's suitable for the music you're willing to make. Spitfire is definitely not the best for big Epics songs. Most music producers (including myself) would layer multiple strings libraries in a project. I use SCS, SSS, CSS, Ark1, Ark3, Jeagger, Solo, Fluid Shorts,... It all depends on the type of music, the emotion,... And generally, we all have at least one particular patch that we love in each library we own. However Pacific Strings seems to be amazing, not only because it sounds great and different, but it does react differently when playing (in a good way). Definitely my next purchase.
