Eerily similar to Cubase. Thank you for shring your time and expertise with us. Much appreciated.

strezov-sampling choirs are very good and the audio imperia stuff. I like the 8dio/sound_iron choirs and all the other ones, from projectSAM to the rest, but EWC? Hm, not sure.

Thank you for this! Has it come any new brands or libraries recently with fiddle sound?

This is a terrific tutorial. Wonder if you are utilizing Articulation Maps in your DAW/Cubase, and if so, what is your experience? I love the idea how you change the articulation mid note, but does a DAW's articulation map functionally work that way.

Any thoughts on how this compares to Audio Imperia Chorus?

How to make an expression automation lane? I don't see any option to do so when using VEP7 in Studio One .

Yes, very good stuff. Thanks for the demo. Sounds great

Any plans for a 2024 update?

but the master patch is out of sync. I mean it's not automatically synced to the project tempo

Tremendous tutorial. Thank you so much.

I've never used Silka, but for those who have--is it possible to counteract the problem of the baked-in crescendos & decrescendos with volume automation? Specifically, to start the notes loud, decrescendo to the middle, then crescendo to the end? It's a wonderful-sounding library, and at the current price of $98 looks like a steal IMHO.

Nice mock-up, well done. I feel that the brass hits from 1:00 on come slightly too late, disturbing the overall flow. Maybe use a little of pre-delay on them

This is fantastic, thank you SOO MUCH for this!! By the way do you happened to know if this is possible to do in Logic Pro? Also, have you ever experienced the Joshua Bell plugin playing back your midi song slightly different each time you play it? It does this in my logic file and I have no idea how to get rid of it 😮‍💨

Hey does this do some softer textures as well I know that wasn't the intent of the library but it's a lot of money so I'd rather not have 1 trick pony so to speak

Good to see you again, Brian! Great tutorial.

Hola .Quero comprar un coro simphonico que suena mejor con votox en latino.8Dio lo tiene ??

Help please why can’t I open this in Kontakt ,yes I have the full version of Kontakt I have Aurora , Taste , Anniversary bundle, via Pulse . I don’t know what I’ve done wrong.

Thank you! But is there a way to hide key-switching where is shows in the printed score? That way, the musicians aren't playing the key-switch indicated notes.

Love the sound of Dominus but I'm also intrigued by Audio Imperia Chorus (obviously released after this video). Any preference on Dominus vs Chorus for the soft choir sound?

Thanks for the video. Very helpful!

What disturb me more are these syllables…… And what if I want other???

I must say in Cubase it is way better...

Thank you so much for this awesomely helpful shoot out!!

Thank you for this review. It's on sale right now at ADSR Sounds for $19.00 until July 4th or 5th (you never know with ADSR; they say July 5th, but they always seem to end their sales before the stated end time). Based on what you showed, though, I think I'll save that $19 and put it towards a better choir. I'm really glad I didn't buy it for $40 from APD a while back. No wonder you didn't make a video for that sales page.

Thank-you for this honest review. I agree, 8Dio's libraries are WAY too expensive for what you get. I only BOUGHT Silka and Liberis Because they had a crazy sale last month for $99 each. But I don't now how to get them to sound as natural as they do in the demos.

What mean "Silka"?

I just picked up Audiobro's Genesis on spring sale and it's insanely good! Even the highest notes are absolutely perfect.

I really needed this for routing drums (GGD Invasion). Thank you!

Can you make a tutorial on how to route audio tracks say if you want to record guitars so you can make symphonic metal?

Precio?

Big Thank You to you! Helped me to set up successfully

Thank you for taking the time to make examples to demonstrate each library properly!

Why are all the examples slow, evenly played values? After all, choral music is rhythmically varied! How does this program deal with variable values in selected, diverse syllables? Do only such even notes sound good? I'm afraid so, because I don't see varied rhythmic examples anywhere. This is not how choral music is made, and the instrument is used to check how it sounds!

12:24 What is the company name of Folk Fiddle Library?

Thank you

Beautiful bends! Very useful library! TYVM for the view!

Tiene votox en latino???

I bought the Dominus Choir and the 8dio Insolidus choir (which is the precursor to Silka). I deeply regret getting the 8dio Insolidus choir. It is very limited and can be very expensive. Please realize the 8dio has a very strict NO-REFUND policy as well. Once again, it can be very expensive and once you have it, you keep it. If you don't like it, there's no way to get your money back. I hope this helps to prevent someone from spending a lot of money and getting stuck with something they don't like... The Dominus choir is incredibly versatile compared to 8dio. If you get the Dominus Choir Pro, you will be even more amazed. With the Dominus Choir you have the ability to choose what you want. I consider it the best phrase building choir software out there. Nothing comes close. (Edited 4/18/2024): After working with Insolidus and now also having Silka, Lacrimosa, and Liberis choirs; I can say that they do sound beautiful, but are limited to each phrase builder built in. Some are more restrictive than others. I will get the Requiem choir later on as well. I no longer regret getting the Insolidus choir. I do mainly use it for uh's and ah's. For that, it is very good quality. Please wait for their special sales. I don't consider them to be worth the full individual price, sounds harsh, but I want to be honest. Concerning Dominus Choir & Pro, I still believe nothing else is out there that can compete with it at the moment. I consider it the industry's best at the moment. It's incredible in so many aspects and quality. I look forward to any updates or upgrades.

This is 80 bucks now on sale. I guess this is amazing deal at that prize even now after 4 years ?

your voice is too loud, and what interests, the vst, is too low

thanks for the review

I liked Ark choir & Oceania the most, but EWQL might be as you said the more flexible one, if you have time to work it out.

These sounds,66 basses and 66 trombones are waaaay bigger than my future.But 66 cellos sound not good

Have some nice asian vibes because of the pentatonics! Really nice!

Omg actually 19€ but reading comments makes me cold for it

Nice one! congrats

This fiddle shootout is useful if all you care about is sounds, but if you're an actual musician and the interface matters, then forget it. I bought Red Room's bluegrass fiddle (This video was the clincher) and boy am I sorry. The interface is cumbersome, not intuitive, and just plain clumsy. Why is it that reviewers rarely talk about the usability of software? If you're a musician don't purchase Red Room's fiddle. Had I been able to test drive it, I would have known then to avoid it. That said, it's only strength are the quality samples. Don't be fooled by the elaborate interface functionality because it's a bear to actually use.
