IMHO, Christian has done a fabulous job in this video by demonstrating that Motions is far deeper and more versatile than what many thought. And the way he brings everything together is complex and also fascinating to watch. I've always found his communication skills to be excellent as well, and I've certainly learned from his presentations over the years. And the kindness he showed to me in the past was far beyond expectations. Well worth watching this.

I really found this presentation valuable as I just have purchased Symphonic motions , Additionally I recently acquired Albion , Kepler orchestra , Fragile string evolutions and Symphonic evolutions so my learning curve has presented as an Everest of a project. My point is these YT tutorials are invaluable in targeting the importances in the use of such libraries and they have definitely engaged me in starting to use ,explore and understand my new instruments , with less reliance on the manuals. So thanks for this 👍🙏🏿🙏👏👏🎩

The low string layer with the chamber strings thing is a crazy trick. It sounds real. Much more full bow stroke kind of sound with the attack of the beginning of the bow.

Apart from the Motion libr even, just very inspiring content Christian. And the power of fine layering never ends. This stuff is what I like to see you do most on YT. An upward modulation would sure raise the tension also. Maybe even a little sidechaining to accentuate a certain pressure? Thanks for sharing.

Love this walkthrough! At the end of the video when you bounce you chose OFFLINE. I've been getting jittery/glitchy bounces that way (never used to) which results in missed subtle nuances of the strings, in my case Albion Tundra Sul Tasto. However it bounces fine if I do a REALTIME bounce. Thoughts?

What about the space between the notes? Spitfire says that can't be changed. We are stuck to the perfect grid? That makes it sound not real and isn't the reason for the library to sound as real as possible. The transitions between notes sound fantastic, but the perfect space between them is not. Something simple like a random variation/swing knob would be a great start. I'm surprised that was not though of. Do we really want perfect, tight, on the grid music?

Yeah, this is definitely a playing technique I need among my sample libraries. It's actually quite remarkable that it's such a niche thing in the world of sample libraries, as the technique itself is very common. What took everyone so long? Now the only thing left is: Can I use this library in a way where I can use a few notes of this playing technique within a larger musical phrase in a way that makes it sound like it was actually the same instrument playing the whole phrase? In conjunction with other Spitfire string libraries I suspect so, but for strings I'm predominently using VSL. I imagine if the close mics are used exclusively, I can match the reverb relatively well perhaps. The composition itself is a spot-on demonstration of how this technique is commonly used in Hollywood. But I imagine this would also be a fantastic library for doing phase shifting a la Steve Reich!
