A tip for such comparisons and demonstrations: The used MIDI actually should not be that kind of hard quantized as shown here. No orchestra will perform with such digitized ‚perfection‘. This especially applies to libraries, which have sampled entire ensembles in unison. This all must sounds fake if you use unnatural mechanic arrangements, no matter how good or bad the chosen library even is. ^^
@cyrilcalmes4208 Жыл бұрын
in which world pizzicati sound that strong ? Did you adapt your CC programming from one library to another ? To me, most of these exemples doesn't sound realistic.

Thank you for your input, it's intended to be "right out of the box" as suggested by the title. I will be posted an updated version of comparison soon, as this is a relatively old video in this ever changing industry with much better and much more realistic libraries coming out everyday.
@cyrilcalmes4208 Жыл бұрын
@@KadenCore Well, I have BBC SO, Berlin Orchestra, Anthology and Spitfie Studio Strings Pro. And what I meant was that using out of the box sound without a fine tuning of the CC does not sound realistic. And you must do that to each library because they react differently. In most of your examples, velocity, CC1 and CC11 are too high. I think that the best way to compare them is to show they can render realistic mockup. I hope you understand my point of view.
really useful video, I was searching for something like this for ages :D Do you also have Spitfire Abbey Road 1 and/or 2? The only thing I would hope for is a more even sound in the video, I know it might be more complicated, but I always had to move my speaker sound up and down. Not a big deal, but i guess that could improve the video! Other than that, thanks for your work :D

The effort is greatly appreciated, but, apart from the continuous clicks of the audio, the eq has not been monitored at all for the comparison to be effective. And I don't think Ensemblia should be in this comparison. Jaeger, Angel Strings and Hyperion have surprised me. Still, the Spitfire libraries are the best by far. Greetings and thank you!
@KadenCore2 жыл бұрын

Thanks great review..If you are not burdened, please give a brief comment. I bought bbcso two days ago. I thought bbcso and cinematic studio strings had somewhat similar reverb and wet sounds. But after using it for a while, bbcso feels pretty dry. Do you too? Can I fix it with reverb and microphone? Anyway so I have session strings pro2, aperture orchestra and BBCSO, and I'm going to add one more thing this Black Friday. I want to have different tendencies because I have a small number of them. (I only do K-pop and New-A.) I want to buy 8dio's anthology + Intimate / or LASS / or CSS. (I love the sound of css, but I don't have a small ensemble.. I would like to save if the BBC can produce a wet sound like css.)
@KadenCore3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching my videos! Sounds like you have some great libraries already, especially BBCSO, I love it! And yes, you may need to add some reverbs to suit your needs. Try liquidsonics, they do have some great ones, and you put a slight reverb on all to glue everything together. If you want to take advantage of Black Friday, 8dio does have some great sounding libraries, but you need to try which ones will allow you to use the 55% off coupon. If you are doing doing K-pop do you find BBCSO a bit too orchestral and warm? Have you checked out Orchestral Tools' LA Sessions, which contains a lot of different instruments including strings of course, which might be more useful when writing pop. LASS is VERY dry, definitely not sounding good right out of the box, but it does give you more flexibility to add your own reverb. Do you have any solo violin/cello libraries? They can be useful to add countermelody lines to your pop songs....
@yd83103 жыл бұрын
@@KadenCore Thank you so much for your polite comments. Thanks to that, I learned a lot of new good libraries. It was an opportunity to study and hear the difference between the nuances of a string instrument suitable for pop and a string instrument for orchestration by listening to the standards you mentioned. I ended up buying CSS in addition to session strings and BBCSO. The reason is that I have found that I still lack the ability to create sounds with fine control. I still feel a lot of deficiencies in expressing my solo instruments with BBCSO. First of all, I plan to use CSS (including convenient presets, spaces, reverbs, etc.) until the arranging ability improves a bit, and then purchase additional instruments that you recommend. Thank you very much^^ Please make a lot of good content in the future. Best wishes for a Happy New Year.
