You need a bigger monitor....

[@jackspring7709]

Lol :D

[@MrDebranjandutta]

I think that's an OLED TV that he uses.

[@Bimleshkumarbachwan]

Loved the new library...... All instruments, are unique.... Love from India 🇮🇳🙏

[@sky3fallmusic]

My bank account shakes in fear every time you make one of these videos, Dom! 😂 I love these kinds of libraries. Always inspiring.

[@Acpjohn]

😂😂lol

[@LeonThomasian]

Great video Dom! I think what also matters is you actually play these instruments as they’re intended to be played which adds to the realism. Many musicians don’t realize that you have to imagine you are playing that instrument and know about its scales and what it can and cannot do to make it sound its best.

[@rlynch3w]

You are awesome Dom!! Love your comments & insights!! Well done!!

[@creatiw]

Great video as always Dom. Your playing is awesome. Can’t wait for part 2. Thanks!

[@pierrefustec320]

Even, with a kazoo, you could make something beautiful. Looking forward to part 2.

[@CorleoneFam07]

Cold on the keys! ❄️🙌💯 Great video

[@ronnyb5890]

i love the use of the duduk by Bear McCreary in his scores, especially battlestar galactica

[@artysanmobile]

Beautifully recorded and beautifully played, Dom. A few of these samples would fall flat without your consummate playing skill. Superb!

[@DomSigalas]

Thank you for the kind words man!

[@BDReflet]

Thank you, Dom! I would like to see a part 2 of more instruments like these.

[@Pepijn_a.k.a._Akikaze]

Loved part 1, looking forward to part 2.

[@TheApple76]

Fantastic video! I love them all and I have them all, haha.For Part 2, try the Ethera Gold Atlantis 3, Sahara Voices, and Prometheus libraries by Zero-G, you won't regret it. They are among my favorites. Amazing True Legato, lots of vocal phrases, and a lot of passion from the developer, who is a great guy.

[@michaellazaridis942]

Sorry for asking ! Do I have to buy the platform Kontakt 7 to get to these sounds ?

[@TheApple76]

@@michaellazaridis942 Yes, to use the Ethera Gold Series ( Atlantis III, Sahara Voices, prometheus ) yuo need Kontakt Full, but are amazing, check for the Stefano Maccarelli videos ( the developer)

[@swatforce3309]

Hey Dom! Massive fan here ❤‍🔥 Your video featuring the Rhodope Bulgarian choir VST from a while back was a game-changer for me. I've been a huge admirer of composer Kevin Penkin, especially his "Tower of God" soundtrack. Thanks to your video, I finally found out where he got that sound from. I'd definitely recommend checking the soundtrack out. I think you'd like it a lot. Anyways, keep the awesome content coming and have a nice rest of your day🔥

[@nikolatomov_music]

Thank you, Dom! Please make, part 2!

[@stevescooking]

Hey Dom, hope you’re well my friend. Just purchased Cubase 13 from logic, your videos are really helping to understand everything in the software…. I appreciate you

[@AliBabaFlyHigh]

Please Do the Part 2. I'm so happy I found you. You play with so much Passion. WoW.

[@alexgabriel5423]

Above all i commented below i am sincerely congratulating Dom for his love for the Diversity of Humanity coming thro his playing itself based on careful listening to various national specific pieces and then reproducing the music and its Spirit throughout this inspiring production. It is a great pleasure to listen and to discover the mosaic of Humanity having Dom as a gifted guide with a Golden Heart matched by Golden Fingers❤🎉🎉🎉

[@Serchannel]

Thank you for this beautiful intro to awesome instruments.. it woukd be awesome to hear the rest.. very inspiring..

[@juddrizzo]

Incredible.

[@eddeyman]

Thank you for this video , yes please do part 2

[@RecordingStudio9]

Thanks Dom, great previews.

[@LaloRaj13]

Amazing video ❤️

[@sonicairmusic]

Some really inspiring stunning sounds, serious talented fingers Dom, you make it look so easy! Such a great nimble pianist. Something that I’ve often thought about whilst playing string/real instruments via midi, is that it’s often difficult to know ‘how’ to actually play them, in order make the instruments sound more realistic. World Instruments are often a little more complex in technique aspects as well as tunings. I’d love to see some dedicated explanations of different ‘playing techniques’ of these sounds. Brilliant production as always Dom! Fantastic and interesting video.

[@hazybrain7]

Awesome demo's - love it !

[@izakboom8487]

Nice demonstration Dom, inspiring!

[@Ivan-qk6hh]

Hi Dom. I got Ireland library from NI just few days ago.....amazing

[@D.Angelopoulos]

Thank you friend ... we loved you and we admire you and if you want later with the mandolin we will send you a small bouzouki.... baglamadaki ... stay at the top for us too...!!!

[@robinadil4324]

Wonderful 👏👏👏

[@LokeshThakurMusicDirector]

Great Music 😊❤

[@soorajshad2100]

love your work always Dom need part 2.

[@lloydbrownmusic]

Bless up Dom. Great vid as per. 2:13 'World Music' is a better terminology imo. its fusion in many of today's genres renders the term 'ethnic' redundant. I'm a sucker for a nice Duduk, Instant goosebumps every time. Great selection highlighted. 'With great musical power, comes great terrabytes of SDD responsibility' lol Liking the image comp on your video, saw this on one of your past thumbnails and thought wouldn't it be good if.......then you brought it to life. Nice one dude!

[@HostileProd]

one of the best library video out there 🔥🔥❤️❤️🙏🏻🫡🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@SN-xx7jh]

Thanks for sharing some good libraries.

[@Alvarolopezprudant]

Muchas Gracias ....Hermoso

[@michaelgaddis5763]

Thanks!

[@Andzikas1]

Dom thanks a lot for you huge effort ! 🤝👊 big BOOM 💥!!!😊

[@Kris_jellybeard]

I love this one!!

[@studio_trojka]

Dom man, you just played "Djurdjevdan" ("Lily of the valley day") from Goran Bregovic, this song in our Serbian history is very important and thanks for this man, totally unexpected

[@berzzzini]

- "So what type of monitor are you looking for?" - "a TV"

[@d.m.ebeats9013]

DOM PLS DO A PART 2 THIS IS SO AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@grandtetone]

Cheers for the demo tour! From what I've gathered, most of these Persian and Ottoman libraries do not have playable authentic quarter scale tunings available. Some microtonal articulations in the samples get close but not quite enough.

[@TrevorWesleyOfficial]

awesome! part 2 for SURE!

[@DannyCaruzo]

Aaaaand Here we Go , that's the video for me 😂 thank you Dom ❤

[@swanebrokendeep]

Incridibles VST! thanks a lot for this video Dom! I subscribe your channel! Swane

[@mateythegreat1399]

Nice one as always. waiting for part 2

[@AmosDelekile]

This libraries sounds so natural 👌🏿🎹🎹.

[@glennfabe2910]

Excellent content Dom. Do you think you can do a video on mixing and mastering with headphones using Steinberg's headphone match and comparing it with dSoniq's realphones and maybe sonarworks? Thanks and keep making these very helpful videos.

[@AntonyHitizori]

Let's give this channel lots of love guys...by clicking the bell & likes....Coz Dom loves us for real.

[@NeilLangley-qs1fe]

Hi Dom, please please you could do a video on transferring our steinberg software from the dongle to steinberg licensing ? some seems to work, others dont, and some like my absolute 3 seem to not have the option. I am sure I'm not the only one who is a little baffled and would really appreciate your help. love your videos and have been watching for years :) All the best !

[@EdsMusic]

Thanks for sharing the knowledge

[@crazzylee]

The strings sounded like an Italian theme song. And a bit of Persian flair.

[@snappytheaverage]

I looked for other videos discussing your physical desk workstation. I would love to know what you did to make your setup usable with that S88 cover, mixer, and large screen setup. I struggle with back and arm pain with a S88 sliding from under my desk and computer above desk with 32” screen on top of desk. If you talk about your ergonomics in your setup, it would help me and probably many others.

[@iustingalea1547]

Yep, this is a great video! Thx

[@KlangWerck]

As always a great video, as always (at least) one new purchase ;) I've never heard you play Zero-G libraries, I think they get far too little praise, especially the price-performance ratio. Sahara Voices and Atlantis are definitely among my “world music” vocal favorites

[@cinemusic4858]

Absolutely , Indeed, @Dom Sigalas you should try Stefano Maccarelli's ( Zero-G ) Ethera Gold Atlantis 3, and Sahara Voices, and why not also Prometheus for male voices. Top Notch !

[@JamesRobin-us5nz]

Absolutely love those libraries-they're the coolest thing the market has to offer right now!

[@DannyCaruzo]

And YES PLEASE MAKE A SECOND PART ❤🔥

[@X-Lightz]

Part 2 and 3 please!😀🙏

[@harrytselentis6070]

i would say,anatolia strings and breathe,also east west ra,PRECISIONSOUND kantele etc.sonokinetic kemence

[@alexgabriel5423]

Byzantine music has 13 different types of keyboards to cover the whole repertoire. Each keyboard covers a number of modes and possible modulations...

[@Lt_Master_Sgt_Field_QM_Pores]

Would be great to see a video on the evolution series world percussion libraries. They just released 3.0 there this month.

[@DomSigalas]

Really? I missed that! I have to check it!

[@giorgossirinakis941]

0:01-0:09 My past loves, Manolis Hiotis. Sound of Bouzouki .

[@60secmusic96]

Hey Dom, thank you for all the videos, i learn a lot from it! 😊 i discocered the following Cubase 13 Problems: The Vocoder seem to doesn't get the right Midi Chord Notes sometimes. And Cubase (13) doesn't add new songs/projects to the index, so it's not possible, to find it with F5 / Mediabay - is that my fault or can you reproduce it?? greetings, Alex

[@peggymcniff996]

Part 2 please, and thank you.

[@ArthurGrill-re6ps]

As a musician from Russia, I'd say that you display a big Russian soul when you play the balalaika! 😊 Upon watching this video, I noticed that themes from the 'Sherlock' movie used an Indian instrument. Wanna see next part! Thank you!

[@jurgenklier]

Maybe VSL in part 2? They have some nice ethnic woodwinds and drums.

[@danielortizdecaracas]

these first phrases bouzuki riffs sounds like a latin requinto or portorrican cuatro

[@d.m.ebeats9013]

Dom I'll for ever be grateful for your channel you've not just made me good producer but a unique producer ❤❤❤❤❤when am producing in Cubase my friend wonder how i do it 🙏🙏🙏they all produce in FL studio 😂

[@caylan-jaelawrence508]

thank you for doing what you do.... and like one of your other subscribers said my wallet will fear me watching your streams lol

[@luigicodeluppi8888]

Molto interessante. Grazie. Per il duduk quale consiglia per realismo e flessibilità: duduk della sonus o della Ilia? Grazie

[@murat9180]

I like to play piano 😊 I'm still learning to play the piano, it's not easy, but I'll continue until I master it💪🏻😁

[@-musiclee-]

Dom. Not sure you use or ever demoed the AMAZING VST from Eduardo Tarilonte Best Service. They are in a league of their own!!! All of them

[@ghostglitch_]

Sweet video Dom. How is the large monitor treating you? What make and model is it?

[@marcel_schweder-composer]

Look closely ;-)

[@svenisaksson3970]

What have you been feeding your monitor, to make it grow so big? 😉

[@superlitbeats6068]

Ethnic Fruity Loops

[@peiyuezhe]

Hello, I would like to ask why Cubase does not have this feature?supports ctrl+z operations (recording all parameters of VST), but Cubase is not working. Additionally, I am unable to select multiple tracks on Cubase for unified adjustment (not precise enough). If these two issues are resolved, I will not hesitate to use Cubase/nundo. How did you solve this problem? Adapt to it? Is there a similar setting?You are the most professional and official engineer/music producer I have ever seen on KZbin. Please help me!

[@SharifulIslammusic]

dude has brilliant keyboard skills

[@medidec]

As always, a very interesting video, Dom. I didn’t know some of the libraries at all. However, I’m surprised that you’re showing „EW Silk“ but not „EW Ra“. Just didn’t have it on your radar, or do you really believe that EW Ra is worse than the libraries you showed? Greetings from the Vulkaneifel.

[@jagdishlalwani]

It looks yu love netflix alot.. So large screen. Fit for watchin movi pnly

[@tomweber3461]

Hey Dom, what kind of giant Monitor are you going to use here?

[@michaellazaridis942]

Hi Dom . Where can I find a Kabal sound?Have you got any idea ?

[@mpc40001014]

Hey Dom, I know this is not related to this video. But I'm having issues with my Steinberg UR816C when I try to use my Warm Audio VCA Bus Comp as an external plugin, the outs from my comp go to the ins of the UR816C but when I run the Outs of the UR816C back into the Comp I get this high pitched feedback look and then the whomp whomp. I'm wondering have you ever experienced a situation like what's described above. Now if I just send the Outs of the Comp to The UR816C there are no issues and send my MPC to the ins of the Comp it works fine same as when I use a Send and Return on my Behringer Xenyx 2222 it works fine. I would greatly appreciate any input you have because I really want to use it as an External plugin. Cheers. Look forward to hearing from you or someone who has Knowledge about routing with Steinberg's DSP Control software

[@ryab1817]

Hello and thanks for your videos, because you're an expert in Cubase. I have a problem with the Quantize. Why doesn't Cubase quantize properly. I create a simple 4/4, 1/16 rock beat with a simple steady kick and snare. Once I hit quantize, Cubase randomly places everything everywhere else and sounds ridiculously off. Please help

[@alexgabriel5423]

Are there rhythms given by East West or by Gypsy? There s a great number of rhythms in Arabic music...tens of them. Ottoman music has about 22 rhythms. What are the years of these libraries? New Editions as well??

[@alphapolarfrequency2787]

I love ethenic liberary

[@Dcyde86]

Thanks for the libraries suggestions , they all sound great The theme you were looking for must be the theme from Jesus from Nazareth By the way the greek tunes are "perasmenes , mou agapes " by Mary Linda and Manos Chiotis (a legend in the history of the bouzouki instrument) and "Vrehei fotia sti strata mou" by Stratos Dionysiou. (At first i posted the videos but then i thought it might cause you trouble with the demonetisation so i changed the post , still doing the job though for anyone who wants to look for the tunes .)

[@DomSigalas]

YES! Thank you Jesus from Nazareth hahahaha!

[@ManosZervosComposer]

Fantastic video my friend. The theme you are looking for is the theme from Jesus of Nazareth series by Franco Zeffirelli.

[@dubmaverick69]

I still prefer the Emu Sound library from the early 90s, they just sound so real.

[@dude1987100]

10:58 is the theme from the movie of jesus, the old movie

[@Pissarrio]

part 2 please.

[@danielsolis6624]

Great stuff! Btw take it easy on "ethnic" it is a delimitting term for a cultural region. These regions have their own sounds, instruments, rytms, grades, expressions. It is a scientific term. To love it or hate it, it stays there anyways.

[@DomSigalas]

I know it is. But I happen to be an ethnomusicologist and this is a touchy subject for this specific science. ;)

[@geoffswan1254]

The Duduk always reminds me of the Myst games.

[@ShaneMiller1967]

Always wanted ro do some Mongolian throat singing any good libraries?

[@marcel_schweder-composer]

Great video but...I need this screen! Oh wait a sec... 😀😁

[@darrylmcintosh8490]

I’m sorry, I don’t understand where you got the accordians from? Was it best service? Need to write a birthday song for someone who is nuts about accordians music! Thanks!

[@daninge7458]

It was an Ilya Efimov library, good luck with the birthday song!

[@adam_entertainment]

Hi bro.. followed U thru tiktok also.. great videos bruh . May I know where to get that screen of yours? Cos regular monitor/screen will not show much for kontakt library , most of the time I can't see anything even on my 32 inch screen

[@ANUBIS_game_dev]

Please can you make music for the Mesopotamian for babylon game?

[@officialjohnnybronze]

Hey Dom, please answer! I need your help🙏 Im Johnny Bronze a country singer/songwriter and producer. All my producing life i used Cubase (5) Few days ago I trialed Cubase 13 and bought cubase 13 elements. I noticed that in the Steinberg Library, there are pedal steel, dobro, amd fiddle loops. I downloaded em bought for some reason they show a red minus. Could you help with that? Thanks

[@artysanmobile]

Bouzouki is maybe a bit too clean. It could have a left hand modifier named “Ouzo”

[@caylan-jaelawrence508]

THE THEME YOU PLAYED I THINK was from "jesus of Nazaruth" with Robert Powell the actor playing jesus..... i may of spelt Nazaruth wrong.

[@mikeraphone785]

Hi Dom, off topic I know, but it would be great to know your thoughts of AI music creation, is music dead ?

[@4nedjo22]

Hi I use live Godin guitars. Is there a way to have this libery with me to use it live? On iPad? Iphone? Or???? Thank you in advance. Nedjo
