Berlin Solo Strings: Official walkthrough

[@alleyway3215]

This is one of the best solo string collections I've heard so far as part of a larger collection.

[@StephenEmmer]

Absolutely best in class now. What An incredible job. bought it straight away. Also very attractieve plans for 2025. Bravo Berlijn!

[@DJKLProductions]

Ben jij Nederlands? Zo niet, dan heb je me voor de gek gehouden met je spelling van "Berlijn".

[@whoisarti]

What a wonderful demos. The works by Philipp von Hoeren and Friedrich Gatterman, in particular, are outstanding @orchestral tools - it sounds simply incredible. Bravo to everyone involved in the creation!

[@friedrichgattermann]

Thanks a lot! I really love this library 🎻❤

[@NorfolkTraveller]

My Christmas just got a bit more extravagant - and me centric - and early!

[@SimoneCampete]

Buyed instantly, thank you ❤

[@DarnKatarn]

Beautiful library. Purchasing now :)

[@YT2024Hayward]

Beautiful sound

[@JonasDenolf]

Thanks for my christmas present :)

[@clarenceoveur9497]

I miss Sasha Knorr's demos =(

[@rowegardner9673]

So Orchestral Tools is determined to make me go broke

[@ViolenDarkstalker]

This is so amazing and I'm getting it when I get paid Friday but as a composer and a bass player, I wish you guys had included a bass player.

[@DJKLProductions]

Of course, it would have been nice if a bass had been included, sampled with the same attention to detail, but if it reassures you or is enough of a compromise, there are also the First Chairs, which are less intended for solo use, but they also include a bass. You can purchase it separately to complement the Solo Strings if you are not using it grandly as a soloist but as a support for the cello. It is perfect for the latter.

[@ViolenDarkstalker]

@DJKLProductions I have it, and it definitely shows it's age. Supporting a cello has little interest to me

[@grandmechantroux]

I'm gonna agree with some of the comments, I'm sad there is no doublebass in it. It's hard to find a good bass and the only solo one you propose is the one from the First Chairs lib, and that lib has different sound and purpose. I'd gladly pay 100€ more for it in a big patch if it's added one day but I doubt that'll happen.

[@marcgw496]

My poor wallet.

[@stevepricemusic]

how does this compare to ni’s cremona quartet?

[@ABE2000]

One day i should try it, even if it works with Sine Player.

[@redbanjomusic]

on the website, system requirement is Mac OS 10.13 ( High sierra ) ? is it correct or do you mean Mac OS 13 ( Ventura )

[@jrettetsohyt1]

I like the 2nd violin tone best

[@flickcomposer]

play me some damn arpeggios, fast, repeatedly. Why does not one library maker understand this yet?

[@redbanjomusic]

huuuu .... souds great, but .... No Bartok pizz , and no non vib long ? AND watching the demo, the CPU hits hard when 4tet is playing. I still don't understand how the dynamic layers works in Sine with long notes .... Modwheel ? how much layers ?

[@mithramusic5909]

You can find information about layers on their website through the Support button at the bottom, then searching for a library. This library is brand new, so give it a few days

[@GuyVignati]

And the double bass? 😅 just like the solo trombone in Beaufort, mysterious disappearances…

[@Broth3rz]

No bass? No thanks.

[@marcgw496]

So there’s still a use for the “first chairs” library.

[@Broth3rz]

@@marcgw496 Alright.. Then what would be the difference from this release to the First Chairs release of Violins, Viola, and Cello?

[@marcgw496]

@@Broth3rz I was kinda being sarcastic. It’s a shame they didn’t include basses here although tbh the samples for violin, viola, and cello do sound better here in my opinion than the counterparts on “first chairs”

[@Broth3rz]

@@marcgw496 Without the basses, it's just too much money. I'm looking for the best 3 libraries of big, medium and small orchestra's right now, to layer of course. What would you recommend?

[@clarenceoveur9497]

Gosh darn it, Orchestral Tools! Brot3rz was a bass away from writing his career-defining masterpiece 😤

[@rubenmolino1480]

They have a lot of reverb

[@serox8887]

it was added artificially. The standard mic positions are very flexible

[@yves2078]

still so expensive and bad, not even speed!!! go instead to vsl

[@The_Rock_That_Floats]

I think you meant ”so expressive and bold” ;) IMO I would take OT over VSL any day

[@yves2078]

@@The_Rock_That_Floats no I meant big shit
