The sound reminds me of the string section from Awaken by LoL haha. I realy like the warm touch they gave it. Especially the shorts sound realy nice and precise I think. Great review as always!

[@ChristopherSiu]

Cool, thanks!

[@inspisiavideos8542]

Amazing library! I have an interview code test final phase as Software Engineer today. I am on my last week of my internship as a Js and Python coder. The moment I get the job I’ll get the library. I watched a previous video of yours about putting myself out there and make a youtube channel and I’ll be focusing my free time in building my channel about music and other topics. Please, send good vibes. I won’t say the name of the company but getting the job will sky rocket my career and I could take care of my parents and sister! Please keep making content too!

[@ChristopherSiu]

Excited for you!

[@bballClipss]

Hello fellow engineer who loves music! If you ever need a referral let me know, I'll be happy to help

[@inspisiavideos8542]

@@bballClipss Well, thanks! I love music. I actually have uploaded videos on this channel but I haven’t been consistent because of my internship. In the meantime I have been applying and going over code and stuff like that but it’s holidays so I understand things can be slow cause everyone on vacation. If you have any idea of a company that hires remote on Entry Level positions for Java, React, Js, Python and automation in Cypress please let me know

[@ChristopherSiu]

@@inspisiavideos8542 love this you guys! My little bro is in his third year of eng right now so I know how difficult it can be 😅

[@bballClipss]

​@@inspisiavideos8542 Yeah I know of some open entry-level positions. If you are interested, do let me know if you use other social networks so I can DM you more info

[@hugoalejandro27]

Thanks for the review!! Any particular string library you would recommend for pop music and also rock?

[@dafingaz]

Welcome to Spitfire too! 🙂🙌🏾

[@chicomp]

I am very picky with some tools in a string library, like the vibrato. The legato lines, in ALL the walkthrough vídeos about Abbey road Two, bother me a little bit. The vibrato seems so over the top ALL the time. Can you Control the vibrato intensity? Because the sound of this library in general is absolutely superb...

[@coolvibesradio3267]

Between this and Tableau SOLO Strings where would you put your money on? Tableau is £120 cheaper with the current discount, it has 1 violin and double bass less but it has portamnet that is not present in the core edition

[@ChristopherSiu]

Good question! Tableau sounds more romantic in nature, while this one features better shorts in my opinion.

[@ytb917]

great demo. is this the core version of the library, or the more expensive professional version? the professional version has some more mic locations and some more articulations, but i'm not sure how valuable that is. also, the professional version takes up way more storage space, which is something to consider.

[@ChristopherSiu]

This is Core!

[@dafingaz]

On my wish list. I don’t think they have multiple outputs on their plugins (at least not the non-Kontakt ones). I could be wrong though.

[@ChristopherSiu]

Fair enough!

[@alx9889]

Some parts of that library sound amazing, some sound like garritan or any other 2000s sampler

[@ChristopherSiu]

Haha fair!

[@camerademuzica]

How would you compare this to spitfire solo strings?

[@GO2CUT]

huh … this library really sounds amazing. It has a warmth "directness" to it. and though I found spitfire great all the time, their strings always had weird "lushness" to them.

[@ChristopherSiu]

Agreed!

[@andrealoverde8771]

This compared to Audio Imperia Solo?

[@drew6524]

Does it have the capability to be less than LOUD ONLY. I noticed at points you brought dynamics to 0% and the volume and loudness difference from 100% to 0% only reduces by half. Eg. Full dynamics/expression is loudness of 10 bottom dynamics/legato is a loudness of 5. Obviously it should be 0 or 1. What is your opinion?

[@jakewu8298]

You sold me on this library, or at least you would have when I can afford it in the future hahaha

[@ChristopherSiu]

Awesome!

[@SeriousTipStudio]

Thanks for your review, saved me some money.

[@ChristopherSiu]

Glad I could help!

[@charlesyateschalfant]

I need this in my life.... Along with dozens more libraries. Okay, to be honest to myself, it's a want and not a need. But..😁

[@gorgeousgeorgeous8861]

Thanks for the review. I love the ‘bite’ and quality of this library but it’s going to be a real bully in the playground with that RAM gobbling...

[@ChristopherSiu]

You got it!

[@RP14_Music]

I had a hard time remembering I was listing to you and not Ashton gleckman during your dialog lol

[@ChristopherSiu]

Haha!

[@jgallagher3648]

Did you get a chance to try the PRO version?

[@ChristopherSiu]

Not enough drive space 😂

[@now_im_here3698]

@@ChristopherSiu - Ya I was going to buy pro... But 300 gbs is just way too much space. It's not worth the extra $ for the extra drive space just to have extra mic positions and the portamento articulation. But I've literally wanted this for a year and def am buying it this weekend.

[@gregoryivesdolbyatmosmusic]

HaHa. OK Just watched this so I changed my mind now. I think I will get the Pro version. I dont' have CSS libraries. Different sounding rooms and players in those. You can hear that for sure in the CSS stuff. I like the CSS for romantic,

[@ChristopherSiu]

Haha glad you made your choice Gregory! :D

[@JakubPietras]

The library sounds really incredible. Although as a violinist, I must say the violin legato sounds terrible ;d Still miles behind CSSS

[@ChristopherSiu]

Love my CSSS!

[@thomasvinelli]

The shorts are great, long’s ugh

[@theboofin]

You skipped most of the short articulations...
