Exploring the drums of Monolith in AIR Studios with Richard Harvey

[@cherrysound]

Guys from OT, we really need these videos about the instruments you record for every of you libraries 👍🏻 ‘Cause most of the time we can’t understand which instruments are used in some of your ensemble patches

[@jonathanwingmusic]

As a drummer growing up, I really love and appreciate the thoughtful care and attention that has gone into every drum's personal history and cultural backstory. It's that kind of care that sets this curation of instruments apart from the rest. Not to mention it all sounds great in AIR. I look forward to using this library! 🥁🪘

[@Orchestral-Tools]

Thank you for the lovely compliment

[@dogukanseren]

It's great that you recorded it in Air studio, it feels really epic and cinematic. ✨

[@doyledonehoo9735]

I love AIR. My favorite sound and room. You can always recognize AIR in recordings.

Such an amazing library. I use it in so many scores.

[@Orchestral-Tools]

Thank you!

Incredible collection ❤

[@Orchestral-Tools]

We really appreciate that!

[@BluemountScore]

Great video! Thanks for putting this together

[@OleJ-DK]

Wonderful to see and listen to these beautiful drums, thank you for sharing!

[@shubus]

This video is a great reference for Monolith. I will be coming back to it repeatedly as I incorporated Monolith into my score. As usual, Richard does a peerless job.

[@Orchestral-Tools]

Thank you :)

The teleporting is pretty cool :)

Great to see and hear Sa-Bai-Chai Drum sound from Thailand and the another drum from around the world, Thank you 😍

[@Orchestral-Tools]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Insane... these drums are so dang cool... such rich history and they all sound so phenomenal. I think this library is a funny sort of contrast with Spitfire Audio's Hammers. Almost like Jekyll and Hyde.

[@Orchestral-Tools]

Delighted you like them.

[@babyitsnatural]

Wow! OT is a team of geniuses!

[@Orchestral-Tools]

Haha, we're not too sure about that, but thank you all the same!

Hello OT, when will we see a vst for cinematic guitar or backing vocals? I know there are already plugins with their equivalents, like "Drone" or "Salu", but I really think there should be vsts dedicated to this! Are there any such plugins in the pipeline? Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@dfedermann]

The recording of his voice is astonishing... Could you tell me what was the gear used on this one ? A hidden 4060 DPA ?

[@dansherrattsound]

Hey @dfedermann - I used a Sanken Cos11 into a digital wireless system, probably a deity. This was straight into the preamps on my FX9 camera

[@dfedermann]

@@dansherrattsound Great Dan ! Thank you. Was it a Deity THEOS ? And where did you hide the Sanken ?

[@dansherrattsound]

Yes Deity Theos- I think it was the first time I used it. The sanken is just inside his jacket, on his left hand side mid chest from memory

[@dfedermann]

@@dansherrattsound Thank you very much Dan !

[@ExploratoriumTP]

Hi ! I can't seem to find the ngoma drum showcased after the baobab one in the library (at 16:59). In which patches are they featured ?

[@Flowee141]

Hi OT team, i have an problem with your patches from berlin orchestra. Do you know why notes are keep playing afted i pause the track or some of them are not making any sound? I mean the sounds are great but this issue is very frustrating... (im using FLstudio)
