What virtual instruments do I use every day?

[@clarenceoveur9497]

That's why your mockups always sound so good, in addition to solid programming. You can't go wrong with the Cinematic Studio Series, and especially with the MGM Stage sound from Cinesamples. Killer combo!

[@ChristopherSiu]

Absolutely - thank you so much!

[@AlexLupoz]

I can understand around 80% ~ 90% of all (I speak Portuguese, not English), because this guy sounds like a teacher and we can feel every chord passing and vibrating through your mind, body and soul! Thanks for your performances!

[@ChristopherSiu]

Wow, thank you so much for listening and watching Alex! ☺️

[@ErwanKLP]

I definitely need to get the Cinepiano at some point. I've been using the piano from arturia for a long time but I feel like it lacks this cinematic sound.Thank you for the video.

[@ChristopherSiu]

My pleasure Erwan!

[@wizendweaver]

I think it's included in Musio which is on sale currently.

[@Garlane]

You are using a lot of Cinesamples, how does their Musio offering stand up to their Kontakt libraries? Disregard mic positions for now, that's an upcoming and heavily requested feature.

[@ronng84]

besides the virtual sample libraries you use daily, what about plugins like reverb, EQ and etc? Do you use plugins like RoomWidener, PanBox, LUXE, Fresh Air plugin and etc? love to have a video on this. thanks

[@Doty6String]

do a vid on the kontakt factory library....some slept on patches in there.

[@PeterTMusic]

I think it’d be really great if Alex made a bunch of similar libraries to what he has now, but recorded in more of a hall than a studio, haha! I love how his libraries play and sound, but I’m always leaning towards Performance Sample’s built-in hall sound

[@ChristopherSiu]

Totally fair! That would be something I’d lap up haha

[@Doty6String]

Pony up for altiverb and you can get any hall you want… I bought it for post production but, the halls are superb for cinematic stuff.

[@ahdhajdghdhd4964]

Nice video. Have you tried Spectrasonics keyscape piano? If so, how does it compare to Cinepiano?

[@ChristopherSiu]

Haven’t yet! It’s on my radar.

[@Sensus1214]

Hi Chris, I am always love your video! and, would you mind I ask a question? in your opinion, Time Micro and Time Macro, if you can only choose one, which one is your choice?

[@ChristopherSiu]

Ohh probably Macro!

[@mattwallis1893]

The strings sound like flutes

[@Clasam09]

What libraries would you choose if you had a $500, or $1000 budget?

[@ChristopherSiu]

I did a video on exactly that!

[@ontrada]

@@ChristopherSiu Having trouble locating it; can you provide a link? Thanks!

[@ChristopherSiu]

Ah I just remembered the vid was on amount of storage rather than budget - added to the list. Thanks!

[@Clasam09]

@@ChristopherSiu awesome, thanks. Would be good to hear your thoughts on a bread and butter library and maybe a few upgrades for the instruments/sections that have the biggest upgrade potential. Maybe a good Non-traditional/Non-Western as well. Appreciated
