Hearth & Hollow | Full Library Walkthrough

[@OfficialStevenCravis]

Hunter Rogerson, I’ve never seen/heard someone describe their own sound library so well. Can’t wait to compose, arrange and produce with this!

[@ContentWizard]

I'm looking forward to hearing what you create with it, Steven!

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

My oh my that's very kind. Very glad to hear this-this project was very close to my heart. I have no doubt you'll bring the best out of it!

[@bruceirving7080]

I thought I was done buying sample libraries but then I saw Jon’s video and yours and I bought this. I haven’t been writing songs for a while but this sounds like it has a few waiting to come out. Beautiful work on the sounds, workflow elements, and UI.

[@BraggsTippingPoint]

The hair said everything I needed to hear. I'm getting it.

[@ronnyskaar3737]

Loved your introduction. I am not into too much of that pompous epic music and their movies. However a talk on the porch, stringed instruments and a song... Thanks for this. I'll get it! Best wishes.

[@tilkanuts]

I hope you never stop making sample libraries, this is incredible!

[@Garethbellamy]

oh my just when you thought things couldn't get better, how wonderful. The brushed and plucked articulations and the opportunity to add "player noise" just add that extra bit of realism / and human touch that is missing from our workstation world of digital music making. its excruciatingly beautiful and is now part of my library, thank you ,thank you Hunter

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

"excruciatingly beautiful" is a description I'm honoured to hear. Thank you so much and hope it serves you well!

[@planetqwerty]

​@@hunterrogersonmusic You could even say it shivers me timbers. Arrr. (or perhaps even tickles me articulations!)

[@christopherrocky]

I just picked this up and I feel like I'm in the room with musicians: I found a group online from meetup for sharing spiritual experiences and we'd been meeting up for a few months. Today was special though. We met at midday at a cute french cafe. We talked about esoteric philosophy. Some of us overshared but we are starting to feel comfortable with each other, even if we don't know most of each others motives. There's a small but welcomed tension of chaos between us, like some of us could be lifelong partners along with a bittersweet betrayal. After our conversation it was a beautiful warm autumn afternoon. we walked through an urban park and the yellow leaves from the maple and ash trees filled the green grass lined with concrete and brick paths. We head back to Ingrid and Jeans place. They live in one of these old houses that was built in the 50s, its considered a heritage building so the outside of the house is untouched and has a haunting look to it as the sun sets on its white mortar outer walls. Jean leads us into his common room with a wide open space. A round rug fills the majority of the room atop its wooden floor boards. Placed around the room are instruments and Jean hands them out to each of us. We form a circle with some of us lucky to be sitting on pillows. We begin to strum and pluck, I would glance over at Tania as she played the guitar, occasionally locking eyes. There's something about the way her face lights up with each passing phrase and the sound of our group inspiring her on. Thanks for the inspiration, You can tell its put together with care and love, along with the vision of exactly what it wants to achieve. All the best Hunter ❤

[@judpratt6632]

Thank you so much for putting the work into this! I'm buying this tonight when I get home from work. Also, thank you so much for your "what makes this special to me" section. That really struck home with me. I've always been the sort who has flirted with music making from time to time, even played trombone in a roots-rock band (Soda and his Million Piece Band) in the mid 2000's for a bit, but rarely did much with it for a few reasons... didn't have the cash to buy all the instruments I'd like to use in my work, didn't have time to decently learn all those instruments, and just didn't have the head for the logistics of getting musician friends together to play (my schedule and their schedules just didn't mesh combined with everyone dispersing to different parts of the country over the years.) I started getting back into music a few years ago and then really bit into it when COVID hit. I discovered music libraries like EastWest and Spitfire. FINALLY, I could noodle around in my 2nd bedroom "studio" making tracks that sounded the way they did in my head. One thing that was missing though was the sort of library like you described in your "what makes this special" section. I can't wait to get home and work with your library. I am so very happy I accidentally came across it yesterday! Take care!!

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

I'm late on this reply, but I hope it has done justice to your writing! Thanks for checking it out

[@IBANEZ1284]

[@Roan256]

Hunter! I’m a huge fan of your work!

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

I'm flattered!

[@AlonsoJoaquinComposer]

So beautiful, so greatly recorded, every note feels like a live performance. Usually instruments like these sound like a soundfont with a couple dynamics and round robins, but with no life, most of times they are also harsh and the recordings are off too most of the time sounding like you are not supposed to blend the instrument with anything else. This library is completely different and it truly captured the performance part for every instrument, and it's so nicely recorded, sounds super pleasant and inspiring out of the box. You did an amazing job with it and I cannot wait for more of your virtual instruments! I think you really nailed the concept of the library too, until recently most samples focused too much on a single type of music (cinematic, tv. etc.) while being almost isolated from other genres such as indie folk, among many others, but there's a whole another world of different kinds of music from which we can borrow ideas, instruments, recording techniques

[@HaylieSings]

I am just beginning to learn about music production and I don't know what I'm doing at all, but I know this is something I am keeping on my wishlist!!! Found this through Jon Meyer's video and my mind is blown. I can't imagine the skill and work that went into creating it.

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

[@thisislance]

Some of the mentality behind H&H reminds me of the Chronicles products from Evolution Series, and that's a very good thing. This is definitely filling a gap they haven't, and it's unique enough to differentiate itself despite a couple of welcome similarities.

It warms my heart to finally see someone who puts as much effort into ironing his shirt as I do. Oh, and I love the library also.

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

See you get it! The more time I spend ironing, the less time I have for sampling!

[@Jeronimo365]

Wonderful. As a non-media acoustic ‘composer’ yeh! I love the thinking behind this library as much as the library itself. Hanging around sample library walkthroughs tends to leave me with a touch of imposter syndrome, so thanks for thinking of all us lowly tunesmiths. 😉 Can’t afford it right now but it’s top of my list. Well done, it’s a thing of beauty. 🙏❤️😎

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

Gosh am I glad to hear all of this. I stand by the fact that you are indeed a composer. I've written enough orchestral music and folk songs to know that the stakes are just as high in both (sometimes higher in songwriting given how vulnerable it can be). Better songwriting tools means more stories get to be imagined to their fullest!

Way late to the party here, but how cool than things get, right ! So I’m gonna buy it today (Spit had it on sale today. Hopefully the dulcimer is still on Pianobook. MAINLY, I am so envious that you have an Around The Neck CAT! I’ve always dreamed of having one (being owned by one, I guess). Happy to have found you! This occurred via Mr Meyer, btw. Funny, I’ve been downloading off PBook for years, missed you somehow. I’m a synthhead, Rhodes & B3. I struggle with Ample trying to master strumming. Someone has to invent an easier way. There should be a real midi guitar that would let me handle my own damn strumming! Thanks! Beautiful work!! Mark

[@ScoringStageEu]

[@palbo7871]

8:03

[@RasmusFynboMusic]

Sounds awesome and I am considering buying it... My only worry is if all instruments are routed to the same output in Kontakt - or is it possible to route each instrument to it's own channel? My mixer will not be very happy if I deliver 6 instruments on one channel.

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

Due to the instrument's mic bleed functionality, the routing under the hood is a bit involved and not compatible with splitting each instrument to its own stereo output within a single patch. But this is where the Solo patches come in! You can load each instrument individually in one instance of Kontakt and route the midi inputs and stereo outs independently for each of those patches.

[@RasmusFynboMusic]

@@hunterrogersonmusic Yeah, okay that makes sense. I guess I can split the high and low instruments into different instances as I saw John Meyer do in his review of your instrument. Thanks for the answer.

[@tiersaudio335]

I have never bought something so fast in my whole life...

[@watchaddicts1213]

Okay…calf rope! I went to get a second cup of coffee, returned to studio desk and voila…next thing I know, BOTH ‘HEARTHS’ are in my Spitfire CART. I thought I could contain myself with the string library alone; ‘thing was, the New HEARTH Vocals library just carried be away! So, here’s what I’ll do: I’ll work extra hours next month make more money.

[@duesenberger]

Thy for this video! Sounds superb. I downloaded the trial but as I have not used Kontakt and Native Instruments before, how do I install it?

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

If you visit Native Instruments's website, they have pages for purchasing and downloading Kontakt. www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/samplers/kontakt-7/ Hearth and Hollow can be opened by clicking on the .nki file in the instruments folder! (a warning: unfortunately it will only run in a time-limited demo mode unless you have the full version of Kontakt)

[@duesenberger]

@@hunterrogersonmusic Thx a lot for Your response! Unfortunately, I only have the free version by now.

[@heatherbuechelartistry]

I love this, do you happen to have it available for decent sampler as well I love piano book. As a disabled artist and on a very tight budget I am so appreciative of the free instruments offered there.

[@JeremyJames_studio]

Throughly and comprehensively awesome. Question: I heard a demo Rolling, Rambling - what’s the drums you used…it blends so well I thought it was in the ensemble but it doesn’t seem to be?

[@samdeakins7176]

You mention at 11:37 in this video that the articulations for the solo patches are key switchable. But the articulations don't seem to be assigned to any keys?

[@samdeakins7176]

Ignore me I just found that video that explains it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epPdZqyqnpedq80&ab_channel=SPITFIREAUDIOCLIPS

[@vadimmartynyuk]

Can you trigger any chords in grooves ? Or the chords are prerecorded and fixed in the grooves ?

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

The grooves were captured on a note-by-note basis, so you can build any chord you'd like with them!

[@youngamerican100]

Just got it and it sounds great. Any idea why when I solo an instrument it doesn't play all of the notes?

[@WOLFGANGPANDER]

Unbelievable! What acoustic guitar was used in the recording of these samples? :) Thanks

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

just an old laguna with a couple of mods (:

[@madslundberg6328]

Absolutely fascinating instrument. Is there any way to automate aarticulation changes when using in a DAW like Cubase?

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

Yep, that's the role of the solo patches which have keyswitches for each articulation! (didn't include that for the ensemble patch because it would result in over 30 keyswitches!)

[@terilamarco515]

Hunter, is the dulcimer in Hearth and Hollow the same as the Wild Mother Dulcimer?

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

It is mostly identical. The Wildmother's version doesn't have grooves, but it does have a few extra aleatoric patches that H&H hollow doesn't have

[@terilamarco515]

@@hunterrogersonmusic thank you for the reply! I’ve made my first recording with Hearth and Hollow!

[@AlexDelfont]

Loving the look of this and just bought it, but I can't really use it because Disk use hits 100% in Kontakt just playing a chord! This doesnt happen with other libraries. I'm using a T7 ssd formatted to HFS+ on a 2015 MacBook Pro. Anyone else got this? Any ideas, I'd love to be able to use it :)

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

This is actually the first I'm hearing of this particular bug! I'm sorry it's befallen you! The first thing that came to mind was that drives formatted as "Mac OS (Journaled)" and "APFS" tend to work the best for libraries. I understand that reformatting could be a big hassle considering you already have other libraries installed that work just fine. Just for the sake of troubleshooting, you could see if purging all samples alleviates this either completely, temporarily, or not at all. I'll snoop around and consult some folks. If I come up with anything definitive you'll be the first to know! (currently the reformat is the only strong contender in my mind, which is a shame)

[@AlexDelfont]

@@hunterrogersonmusic Thanks Hunter, weirdly I tried in Cubase and it seems to be ok. Very odd. I'm away at the moment so will have to test further when I'm home and see if its just an Ableton thing

[@charleswebb1674]

Does the full version of this work on the 'free' version of Kontact 7? Or do I have to buy Kontakt 7 and this to get the full version working?

[@dandna1855]

I'm very close to buying it. Watched few vids. Sounds unique and beautiful. Just one small query, I saw a comment that each instrument is only a bit more than one octave. What's your comment on this?

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

My comment would be that if you're on the hunt for a well rounded solo guitar library (or mandolin, or banjo etc), then this library won't be satisfactory. I built it very specifically to be used as an ensemble with specific instruments inhabiting particular ranges (choosing ranges for each instrument where they were their most woody and mellow). I think the sound and feel of the thing is currently peerless as a result. I honestly still find myself using the instruments for solo parts, but I know for certain that they can't cover all bases when it comes to range. Plus, there are a lot of different playing techniques I would want to add if I was trying to make a comprehensive library for any one of these instruments. That will be a project unto itself hopefully in the near future! Hopefully that helps to clarify whether or not it's a fit for you!

[@dandna1855]

Thank you for taking the time to write this comment. I believe it's going to be a good addition to my library. I produce a wide range of music styles and could see it enriching the mixes. Something is very unique & beautiful about this library. I think it's its ability to blend and generate unpredictable "happy accidents" in music!

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

@@dandna1855 Well certainly no pressure from my end of things one way or another. Only ever want people to pick it up if it feels right! If you end up going for it, I hope it serves you well!

Any idea what's going on here? Would much appreciate help on this. Tar

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

Hmm, what version of Kontakt are you running? I built this in 5 but perhaps Native Instruments has changed something to require Kontakt 6 since its release? Even so, being a licensed library, it'll work with the free version of Kontakt. So you could grab the free version of 6 or 7 and be in good shape that way too

[@benstanbridge763]

@@hunterrogersonmusic Morning. Thanks for teh quick reply. So i'm running in Kontakt 6. Updated to newest version, 6.8. The library is listed in my installed products in native access but isn't listed when I open kontakt (plus when i look for it via the 'manage libraries tab') When i attempt to upload the library via the Files tab i get the message 'this version of kontakt is too old'... all very strange

[@AaronDaniels123]

Thank you for this. Super excited to pick this up. Quick question, does it support different time signatures? I.e. 3/4 or 6/8?

[@terilamarco515]

Just got it and need to know where the user manual is located, can’t find on Spitfire. Also, is there a way to change the tempo besides the 2 presets you have, and can rhythm variations like 3/4 time, 6/8? Thanks for your hard work!

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

Currently, there isn't a written manual and this walkthrough (and my MIDI deep dive walkthrough) are intended to cover that base, so to speak. As for tempo, once you use it in a DAW, you'll notice that the grooves adapt to the host tempo of the DAW dynamically. 110/90bpm articulations indicate what BPM i used to record the source material. This is provided to give you the ability to avoid time-stretching artifacts (for example, if you have a song at 80bpm, using the 110bpm recordings would require a 30bpm adjustment where the 90bpm recordings would only need to be adjusted by 10bpm allowing them to sound much more natural). Regarding 3/4 and 6/8, the eighth and quarter note grooves will work well, but the others were recorded in 4/4.

[@inkyblack9340]

Hi, have bought this product… however the UI does not load properly… all the buttons are there but no text, no labels… also, no sound?!

What’s happening?! Thanks

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

I believe I've seen the issue you're describing in other libraries before, but to this day haven't cracked what causes it as it usually resolves with a computer or DAW restart. But, seeing as you've tried reinstalling, this is probably something to report to Spitfire's support team through their website. Hopefully they'll get you patched up in no time!

[@SheldonTam]

With each instrument has a range of just an octave or so, would it be too limited when composing and arranging?

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

The goal of this library wasn't really ever to create solo guitar or solo mandolin patches etc. The hope was to provide an ensemble of players in a really seamless layout making the composing/arranging more intuitive and natural. So if you use it as an ensemble, it's not limited by range at all, but if you're looking for one instrument to carry a big solo part, it'll feel a little stiff!

[@johnhawkinshawkins1284]

I just bought it and DL it, so where is it? Spit, Kontakt SA recordings, FFS get some help here
