ANTHOLOGY INSPIRATIONAL

[@dezinerAhmad]

Beautiful EXPLORATION.... MY God... If i ever Buy this Library it will Be because of Your Demo..Thanks

[@benkutta6328]

I really like the personal, light-hearted way you present your instruments! Many companies only show their plugins in boring voice over videos. ;-)

[@dustintheblacklight]

This is one of the best demos I have seen and hear so far. Great job man.

[@sbaugh]

I bought it last night - and am totally enamored. I have to be honest - I might like this more than my BBCSO

[@ramxa3724]

I like 8Dio Anthology Strings. That's sounds like Real Strings!!

[@JTOAJoshuaTreeofArts]

This sounds absolutely amazing.

[@DanielBrennanMusic]

Beautiful composition, offered a rare opportunity to experience goosebumps whilst folding clothes! Purchased 🙂

[@granbyplungar2929]

This is an extremely helpful overview. Hugely clear exposition and very much appreciated. Your music is beautiful. Thank you.

[@whyteian]

Really fantastic video demonstration Ryan! Anthology is indeed inspiring as are you.

[@kattblack2927]

I'm a classical musician -- double bass -- so I'm pretty picky about how string libraries sound. Usually it's something about the attack, or the speed of the vibrato or whatever that takes away the realism for me. But I have to say -- from what I've heard, this library sounds really really good -- especially for the price. Warm and natural, and so many articulations! I'm watching this video as I'm downloading it and I can't wait to play around with it myself. Thank you for a beautiful demonstration.

[@iwishiwasolderinit501]

Superbly accessible and lovely video: reminding me of the good choices I have made, especially from 8DIO

[@ToreGThomassen]

Great video! I have owned this library for some years now and i think it is really good. 👍

[@VIUSmusic]

Gotta say, I absolutely love your walkthrough style :)

[@synergist-media]

Just . . . thank you, Ryan. I lost track of when exactly Anthology was updated, with all those Adagio updates in between, but it turns out I have apparently been able to do chordal legato and multi-note arcs since either July 2019 or February 2020 AND I NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT if it wasn't for this inspired (and yes, totally inspirational) video.

[@TemmeSikkema]

I love your video presentation style! Great composing. Loved the experience

[@benpit2762]

Chordal legato blew my mind... kudos 8Dio!

[@braunhausmedia]

Buy this library. It's that good.

[@JonasDenolf]

I have Anthology Strings and absolutely love it, really recommend it!

[@mbaudio2574]

Thanks for a very nice inspirational demo! Your mix sounds very good but since it includes quite a bit of tweaking, I wouldn't call it "out-of-the-box".

[@SeleDreams]

the example 2 sounds amazing ngl, sounds like the kind of song we'd hear in a jrpg before the final boss

[@saxmanvince4319]

Wow! I love that sound. Thanks for the demo. Great job!!!

[@Middlestepofficial]

Got the same MIDI keyboard, Impact LX61+ :) I love your products. The entire line of plugins is more than amazing

[@tonyr.4778]

Nice legato writing. What is the difference between Anthology and Century Strings? What do you get with Century that you don't with Anthology?

[@G6304]

This was awesome, quite informative, love how the library actually sounds !

[@innatemusic]

Good job to you and 8DIO!

[@muziksculp2r]

I hear a glitchy, bumpy type sound that's not very smooth sounding around 17:30 where you are demoing the Chamber Poly-time Arc feature. Maybe this is something you can improve before releasing the update. Thanks.

[@muziksculp2r]

8dio Anthology Strings sound great ! Thanks for the Inspirational video. Looking forward to the Anthology Strings Update offering some new, and super useful features.

[@millsmixx5080]

Very very cool. When is the update available and is it free to existing owners?

[@iwishiwasolderinit501]

I think you'll find that, if you have July 2019: "Anthology Strings 1.3", that you already own it. I may be incorrect, but this video is a reflection ('A long awaited video has finally arrived') of how great that update of Anthology is.

[@TemmeSikkema]

@@iwishiwasolderinit501 This is correct and was confirmed by Ryan on VI Control. He refers to a “past” update that brought us the poly legatos

[@BartekEVH]

Amazing sounds!! I must buy it! Regards and thanks. :)

[@SpiralFlip]

After a lot of deliberation and trying to wrap my head around all the 8dio strings I think I'll settle with anthology. Seems to be the best all in one bundle (aside from century strings but that way out side my budget) Also I have that same bass!

[@wardy2783]

Hi century strings 2.0 bundle is free as of this date if you spend over 248 on other 8 dio libraries...just a heads up if you are still interested....cheers

[@SpiralFlip]

@@wardy2783 Thanks for the heads up!!

[@TemmeSikkema]

Ryan, please come join us 8dio fans over at VI-Control, so we can have a chat some time. Lots of folks are really impressed by your recent work - and this demo in particular.

[@ThomC]

I agree, absolutely love Ryan's work! :)

[@rolandguilford8301]

Wonderful!

[@Hassan_Omer]

Thank you very much for the cool demo

[@OfficialStevenCravis]

Mind blowing presentation!

[@frankyeichler3303]

Ok, I need this in my life

[@helena9210]

Fantastic harmonies!!!

[@sumithramachandranwatchyou5045]

Beautiful 🤩

[@MustacheVerra]

This was a nice demonstration of what Anthology can do. Good job. But i wouldn't dial the speed knob to max for the shorts like that at the beginning cause it makes them sounds unnatural. Unless you want to go very fast i guess.

[@SeleDreams]

I feel like the chamber strings kind of lack in articulations compared to the ensemble I thought they would get access to the same articulations

[@seanfourie7]

When was Anthology updated?

[@xray4death]

This is amazing and all BUT when are we getting a new add on patch for our Prophet Xs??? And will it be the Korg Poly-800?

[@mariusvolz5471]

Could you please at least name the external reverbs you used in this vid... its a perfect match to anthology and I would love to know which one it was...

[@Dude2010ification]

Didn't this guy move to East West?

[@vincentnguyen537]

The sounds from 8Dio are always with a lot of room signals, are there a way to choose the Mics positions is this library? Could you please show a bit how you compose the music here, sometimes it looks like you have played freely and than splitted the voices for editing the CCs, in some other pieces i can see the metrix very clearly. Thanks a lot!

[@Justin.Franks]

Is there any chance of sharing MIDI files for some of the demos in this video? Even in the beginning, when you are just playing live with no added reverb (your reverb sends at 2:53 look to be off), it sounds significantly better than what my copy of Anthology does. Maybe there is something wrong with my copy, but what I am hearing here is much more lush and lifelike than playing through the library on my machine. If I could load up the MIDI or the Logic project for the demos and play it through my copy, I can see if there is something wrong with my copy, or if Anthology just responds differently than my other string libraries to MIDI CC's. Thanks!

[@MichelBarbaro]

At 13:06 you play Violas - Ensemble "Legato Mute" with beautiful smooth passages. When I do the same here I have a annoying slur in all note transitions, and cannot find how to disable it. Am I missing something?

[@ricgus3]

Great video! Is there a way to permanently map the "speed" control to a CC in the 8Dio engine? So i don't have to map it everytime i open an instance of 8dio patches?

[@SectorSevenSlumz]

can you not play the violins 1 & 2 separately? Seems enabling them only enables both, meaning there's no point in calling them violins 1 and 2.. seemingly.

[@nicodemolalli5643]

so if I drink bubly will I start programming crazy af too?

[@joachimhavefaith6310]

Considering to buy it. But what's this in your license agreement: "The license for this product is granted only to a single user. You may use this product on up to two (2) separate computers, which computers shall be owned and used by you exclusively. " Imagine this scenario, my computers breaks down twice while having it installed, before I get a chance to uninstall/unregister (unlikely, but I've rather not walk around having to worry about stuff like that) .. Am I then just shit out of luck? Or is there a license management on their website where I can unregister licenses on PC's?

[@PeterSatera]

You're over thinking it. If your computer breaks twice, it's still the same pc being repaired. You're allowed it used on two pcs simultaneously. There's no registration, simple copy and paste. This is a statement for business licensing, meaning you can't do onsite distribution to a series of pcs or, send it to people who are working remotely.

[@8dioproductions]

Hi, Joachim. If something like that happens and any libraries are blocked, just send an email to [e-mail] and they can look into sending you replacement Serial Codes. The point of that statement in our EULA is to discourage illegal distribution of our libraries, which are all watermarked. As long as the computers are yours and you are the person using the libraries then you won't have any issues more than temporary, if that, which would prevent you from using our libraries :)

[@joachimhavefaith6310]

@@8dioproductions Thanks, bought it! And thanks for the free hybrid drums, nice surprise :D One less thing I need to get for making epic music

[@danymalsound]

Can anyone here please briefly describe the difference between the anthology chamber and the "intimate studio" string libraries? Cheers

[@Soundpaintmusic]

So Anthology Chamber was recorded in a natural church environment, so you get more lush acoustics versus the Intimate Studio, which were recorded in dry studio. So the first question is what sound are you looking for? More natural wide acoustics or more narrow studio sound. The second relates to articulations. Generally speaking Intimate Studio has more articulations then Anthology Chamber, but Chamber does cover all the fundamentals needed and its more emotional in its sound. Intimate Studio is also modular, so you can assemble your own ensembles (ex. 1 violin, 4 violins, 7 violins etc). There is over 200 modular combinations of ensemble sizes in the library. Choices, choices. They supplement each other greatly btw. I view orchestral libraries in the same sense I view a band. Nobody brings in ONLY "BRAND X" into the studio. People bring what they like - and mix it together. Its the same for sample libraries. Even dry and wet ones combined. Cheers, Troels

[@danymalsound]

@@Soundpaintmusic they both sound killer, but for right now, I think I'm digging the super detailed sound of the anthology more : ) Cheers!

[@Soundpaintmusic]

@@danymalsound You can't go wrong with Anthology. So much expression and emotion in every note. Try to give Legato 1 a go with Violins for starters.

We added the link :) Here's a direct one: 8dio.com/instrument/anthology-vst-au-aax-samples-kontakt-instrument/

[@claudioandresmolinari4304]

Hello, how are you, could you tell me, what reverb you use?

[@gregkaczmarski1916]

Sonic delicious....

[@marcotyler7006]

8dio stresses how expressive the legato implementation is in their product marketing, but lack of portamento articulation is a BIG miss for any expressive emotional string library.

[@8dioproductions]

We do - and thankfully Anthology has portamento legato on the softest velocities too.

[@TheTechOrc]

Is that....is that Halo I hear? I mean....@9:55 You can't tell me this isn't Halo.

[@TheTechOrc]

You sold me. Ordered. Thanks for the video.
