This may be the best free library for the Kontakt Player!!🎵🎵

Dialog Isolate module is great, can I buy it only?

Worth it over 9?

This is a fine tutorial. Most enjoyable without extra fluff. One comment however, in Hollywood Orchestra Opus there are Chamber presets. It would be interesting to compare those Chamber presets and Hollywood Strings 2 side by side.

SL11 seems pretty competitive with its peers in terms of stem extraction, better in some areas, worse in others. I think where it really stands out though is in the ability to correct those kinds of errors they all have quickly and easily by hand. This was true in SL10 but it was a lot more effort to do a good job. SL11 makes it a lot easier.

Does SL 11 seem to take longer to unmix in lower settings than SL 10?

I'm your first viewer :)

check it out the old Eventide H8000 by adlof eg. NEY, clean guitar, voice, etc. try shakuhachi maybe, or taiko, djemble, timbales loops, etcetcetc

bad and userless comparison. bad examples and bat dry wet ratios. you need MUCH more WET for real differences. this is not pofessional.

Absolutely gorgeous, Ben! Can you send me over the midi file to test these out with my numerous 8Dio libraries?

Demucs4 huh. Oh well. Baby steps

I find the term "loyalty discount" offensive, as if I have joined a cult and not buying their stuff makes me some kind of traitor. I bought the upgrade of iZototope Music Production Suite 6 to 6.5, for $99. The only change is the upgrade of Rx 10 Standard to 11. So I paid the same as someone upgrading from Rx 9. I feel like iZototope is not being very loyal to me.

I don't think it's worth and why? To make songs extremely more loud or to normalise for platforms? Each platform automatically normalizes in standard LUFS and also the majority of artists now makes the masters at -7 LUFS that sound so bassy and distorted. The best it would be a plugin something like reference to copy the eq, dynamics, width etc spectral characterics from one song to another and also to improve the vinyl restoration de-click and de-crackle (for albums that have not released in compact disc). Even vinyl restoration is not the primary purpose of izotope, but it's for separate stems kick, bass, vocals, etc.

Interesting material well and clearly presented. I am considering upgrading from 10 to 11 for the voice isolation and somewhat improved repair assistant. And I like your music too.

This software needs a dGPU of decent quality for the best performance. Best with a 3700X + 3070 Ti with GPU Acceleration Enabled unmixes everything in like 20 seconds on my machine. It isn't much worse on a Laptop with a 4900HS + 2060 with GPU Acceleration Enabled. I can see it taking a lot longer without a dGPU, though. I think there are still too many artifacts in the Stems, but the workflow is really good [in supported DAWs] when used as an ARA2 Process, since you can drag and drop the stems from SpectraLayers to the DAW Arranger. I like that it can do 6 Stems instead of 4, though. If on macOS, I'd probably just split them in 5 seconds in Logic Pro and use its output. It tends to produce less artifacts than SpectraLayers. RX11 is pretty good now, but it takes too much fiddling to get optimal results. I think FX like Reverb Screws these Stem Splitters. I wonder how well they would work if you ran a DeReverb plug-in on the track before hand (probably not well, due to everything being blended together).

Looks like I'm your first comment person! I have a number of Izotope products, and frankly, after awhile, it's even hard to keep track of upgrades. My main expensive one is Ozone 11 Advanced and started with the basic 9 version, with SMALL, incremental upgrades, the only way to make it affordable. I have RX 10 Standard. To me, a $99 upgrade to 11 Standard is not worth only a couple new feature modules, like the streaming review. And it looks like this version is heavy on Dialogue, of which I DO NONE of. I also have other company plugins which do better with things like LUFS. Also a couple of great ADPTR analysis plugins like Metric A/B, Streamliner and Sculpt. I think RX 10 Rebalance had a way to do more than one area, i.e. vocals and bass, for instance, as the initial offering of Rebalance, you could only do ONE. Thank YOU for this video. ONE last thing----on their website, I also did NOT see a comparison "chart" comparing RX 10 and 11 Standard features. I think too many plugins rely too much on their TS Dept to do data on websites, instead of the Marketing Dept. I know, since I used to sell proprietary s/w and hardware many moons ago.

Magical journey though many themes~

Thank you! Exactly the one amp I was looking for. Ilike to play on parks (not busking ... Yet... Just enjoying playing and attracting some people to listen. I dont want to disturb , just want to improve the output. I just found this amp for 50 USD in Ali Express including the shipping to México. I am looking forward to practice with it !

The rebow... hmm

Nice review - thanks! It actually took me about 12 hours to fully download 😞I also have the Composer Cloud subscription, only one I actually have. I think this is a good library and it probably justifies the subscription along with the larger orchestra and possibly the 'Fantasy' orchestra (if you're into that sort of thing). As a stand alone to purchase at that price point, I think it's probably pretty good value for a main chamber sized option?

Excellent review!

Thanks!

a chier

Thank you Benedikt! Very helpful indeed!

The NSS sounds amazing! EW does have a fuller sound.

Is it true legarto, or are they programmed?

Thank you, very informative!

Thanks Benetikt. Yes I'm a new supporter of SoundPaint concept. All sound beutiful. In your Bach track the violins sound a bit fake on fast passage, but immo where SP shines is in the explorations of new soundscapes starting from the original "true" instruments emulation. For me, as sound designer/ambient music "musician" SP is a milestones in sample engines. On the SP Discord community I submitted some feature requests.

You can get this with a code for $30, which to me is amazing with legatos included. Thanks for doing this video.

This was very helpful, thank you.

Thank you, Got it the other day, pretty impressive! how many instances can be added in each layer like front, middle, back? Thanks for your time!!👍

For my test Cinematic Studio String is my favourite. Thanks

The 150 players version sounds less blurry than I expected! Could be useful in some (big dramatic) situations. Thanks for the informative video🙂

Hey, thanks for the clarification. Very good to know what's what and why.Since I'm not very good at mastering, I downloaded the "pure" and "SMART EQ 4" kit, I'll install it on each track and see what happens. At least I'll understand how it all works:))))

I have these libraries as well. After this comparison, I need to start using my 8dio Century Strings more. Sometimes, I forget that I have them since I tend to gravitate towards the libraries in Kontakt Player free version. Also, I have Performance Samples Pacific and Vista that I rarely use for this same reason. Beautiful libraries, but out of sight, out of mind.

I'm in the same boat as you. I upgraded from 9 to 10 but am put off by the price for the 10 to 11 upgrade. I was certainly thinking about going for it but I've done a lot of research and the number of real changes to the quality of the end result does not justify $149 for Oz 11. The Clarity module does intrigue me, though. But like you, I'll probably wait until 12. Thanks for the great video!

Very nice. Bought the liquidsonics bundle. Thinking of quantum

Is this the direct audio from your daw or did you record the output from your speakers live in the room? I appreciate the video and your time, but something sounds off and lacking depth/and width/dimension for all 3 libraries.

Excellent video

Compliments go to Nashville Scoring Strings. The demo in vid played by full strings ( with B section ) triggered a copyright warning by the yt bot claiming it for a record company. Samples have come a long way in creating realism I guess !

Got my first introductio to Ozone for $149 this black friday. I really enjoyed Tonal balance during the trial, and wanted to try it out more!

Nice Video!!!! Thank you. I'm purchasing my arsenal, I have BBC professional, appasionata and 8dio century from this video. I also have spitfire chamber strings, 8dio solo strings, 8dio adagio, 8dio intimate strings and i'd like to buy spitfire symphonic strings professional and spitfire studio strings professional. What strings do you recomentd from VSL, is for making classical crossover music???

Very helpful, you helped me decide to wait also. I see little point in this expensive upgrade from 10 to 11. 👍

7th heaven is a convolution reverb, not algorithmic. From the liquidsonics site : "Fusion-IR is a unique modulated convolution-based capture and reproduction technology developed specifically around the needs of M7. It redefines the rules of acoustic and workflow possibilities for convolution based reverberation processors."

They are now using the same stupid and annoying pricing model that NI use. For example if you use Komplete it costs the same to upgrade from Komplete 9 to Komplete 14 as it does from 13 to 14. The sale price is on an upgrade is $141 (and used to be $189). No, I think not!

PS - were is the POP and CLICK LP filter?

I got myself Ozone 9 when it came out. It is a great learning tool for someone who makes his own music at home. I jumped on board with Ozone 10 as I felt that the features they added were worth the upgrade. Now, after I learned a thing or two all I use from this suite is Stabiliser and Maximiser. There is not that much of an improvement for me in Ozone 11 to justify such a steep upgrade price at this point. I'll be waiting 'till next year for Ozone 12 and then will see if it's worth it.

Neutron 4 advanced also stops daw engines.....

I Upgraded From 10 ADVANCED To 11 ADVANCED but that was because i Purchased the 229 Dollar Loyalty Deal Which Gave Me PRODUCTION SUITE 6, Which Also Included Nectar 4 Advanced and Guitar Pro 7... It's An Early BLACK FRIDAY For Me.😁 That Being Said, The Ability to Take A Decent Mixed Down Stereo Track (2 TRK) and Stem Focus It after The Master Assistant Does Its Thing, Then Set The True Peak And Learn The LUFS Level That Suite Its Genre... Whalah...Very Acceptable RADIO READY MASTERS... Worth The Money All By Itself OZONE 11 Is. FACTS!
