Hello. Which sound library sounds the most realistic out of the box in terms of fast passages, fast runs etc.?
@WillemvanWyk2 ай бұрын
Hi there! Sorry for the extensive answer on this. It's been a while since I have bought or updated any new libraries as I decided to learn and perfect what I have. Just my opinion though, personally, for lyrical fast passages I would say Cinematic Studio Strings, Cinematic Studio Solo Strings, and Spitfire Chamber Strings. Those are always my top selection and go-to libraries. What I do, also, is I layer solo strings (violin, cello, viola) on top of ensemble string patches, and that gives it that very lyrical, fast, clear sound. Doing it just with an ensemble patch does not always work or sound convincing. Don't fall into the trap that so many of us did, by buying every string library that comes out believing it's better. It's not. It's a waste of money. I promise! String Libraries I own and what percentage of use they get: - All Cinesamples/Musio (Use it 50%) - All Spitfire Strings Libraries (Only Chamber Strings 100% Use) - Hollywood Strings + Opus (70% use) - Project Sam (40% use) - Nashville Scoring Strings (nope). - Cinematic Studio Strings (100% use) - All 8Dio String Libraries (5% use) - Vista + Pacific (Have not used them for work or real scoring yet. I kinda regret buying them. They are amazing, but they need a LOT of work to sound great. Not out of the box. I am not that skilled or trained to apply that much time and effort to get them to sound the way I like, which is a sound I immediately get from Chamber Strings, Cinematic Studio, and Hollywood Strings/Opus. This is just me and my opinion. Others are much more skilled than I am and do marvelous things with many of these string libraries. Hope that helps, and sorry for the long-winded answer. Just trying to be helpful. Have a great day!

@@WillemvanWyk Yes, I appreciate your answer. Basically you shared your experience of trying vst instruments. So, here is my choices in plugins, maybe it will help you. Most realistic strumming guitar sound: Acousticsamples Sunbird Most realistic acoustic piano sound: Art Vista 3 Most realistic drums sound: NI Studio Drummer Good enough bass sound: Scarbee bass libraries, including Rickenbacker Best Roland synth emulations: Roland Cloud.

@@sevchyk I just no reread your questions, and saw you wrote "sound library" and not "string library". So sorry. I answered only about string libraries. If it is about general sound-libraries, gosh, I own too many and it's too hard to pick some.
@sevchyk2 ай бұрын
@@WillemvanWyk No, no, I asked specifically about string libraries, you understood correctly. What I wrote was my observations, just for exchange of information of what I decided as the best sound of what I tried. Speaking of the string libraries, I’m in the search of best sound.

in your opinion..what would be greater choice? cinesamples core or chamber strings? (i know they are completely different sections)
@WillemvanWyk Жыл бұрын
Honestly, people do wonders with both of these and if you are capable of good midi orchestration (I'm not that great at it) you'll make any of them shine. I just love the playability of Chamber strings so much. Their sound, the legato, the tone. It sounds incredible and when I add it to any string composition, it increases the realism so much. I use chamber strings more. I do use Cinestrings Solo all the time.

_[ Thanks for sharing the video! Let me tell you something important: God loves you! God loves us ! He is no respecter of persons! because God wants us all to be saved! and let us go to the knowledge of the "Truth" God wants to save us from eternal damnation, which we all deserve because of sin, Who entered the world through Adam, and through sin entered into death, and thus death passed to all human beings, therefore, we are all "Sinners" But God's Love was so great for us, that he sent his only Son (Jesus Christ), gave him to this world, to die and rise again for all of us! No respect of persons! so that everyone who believes in Jesus Christ does not go to eternal punishment, but rather has “Eternal Life! “ Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; and he was buried, and he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures Jesus Christ came to call sinners to “Repent! “ and, whoever believes in Him, has “Eternal Life! “But whoever refuses to believe in Jesus Christ, the wrath of God abides on him. Then, as by Adam's transgression, condemnation came to all human beings, in the same way, by the justice of Jesus Christ, justification of life came to all human beings! for all of us who believe in “The Only Savior of the world! The Only Mediator between God and us! The Lord Jesus Christ! “ All of us who trust in Him; we have “Eternal Life! “ Let's all read the Word of God! mainly the Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and let us pray to God, our Heavenly Father, every day… God loves you! God loves us! Only to Him be the Glory Forever! Amen! Biblical Source: Acts 10:34-35 / 1 Timothy 2:3-6 / Romans 5:12 / John 3:16 / 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 / Luke 5:32 / Matthew 16:21 / 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 / John 3:36 / Romans 5:18 / Acts 4:12 / John 6:47 /.

Very touching, beautiful composition. Libraries today are not yet realistic, when compared to real life legato. Real strings play notenotenotenote-legato, libraires play note note note note ... legato (except in portamento) in my opinion. Can't wait for the next developments.

Excellent arrangements. Haunting. Reminds me of Geoffrey Burgon's work in ' Brideshead Revisited'. PS - On CSS, have you tried adjusting the timing with a MIDI negative offset. It should help without compromising the 'natural bowing' attack that they strive for at CS.
@WillemvanWyk2 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! Yeah, you are right on the offset. I usually do a -5 to -20. That does help. I was trying to show out of the box though. I should also say that the Classic Legato Patches of CSS is actually much better for legato work than the scripted/automated regular version. Thanks for listening!
@MaxiGoethling2 жыл бұрын
@@WillemvanWyk There is a CSS Control Script you have to add that automatically adjusts the legato timing with a track adjustment of -330ms. The classic patches are only intented if you're new to the library, or at max for sketching. I personally wouldn't want to compromise the realism I get with their advanced legato mode.
