Spectrasonics Omnisphere traditional acoustic sounds - SoundsAndGear

[@chikugensai]

Wow! I had no idea that those sounds were in there. This is beyond awesome!

[@Pulsar-h7w]

At 8:51 I thought you were about to play Saria's Song from Zelda Ocarina of Time! lol. I can't wait to get this in the mail. This is going to level up my game so much!

[@SoundsAndGear]

It's a great plugin for sure!

[@jasonpeachrick2037]

Jason Burge Whats interesting is that I have a feeling this is the software company that Nintendo used when they made the music for Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, and Wind Waker.

[@DCeeMusik]

Thanks or posting this up. I recently got Omnisphere and I'm excited about using this. Now I'm just waiting for my custom PC. Definitely need the HD space and power to use a beast like this.

[@SoundsAndGear]

in the browser at the bottom are different ways you can display your results, they are graphical representations of how your presets will be laid out in the browser

[@SoundsAndGear]

@pasGedden7 not sure what you mean by patch but no this is not an add on, these are in the factory library

[@SoundsAndGear]

make sure you have all the updates for the library

[@mech289]

Very nice vid. I been looking to purchase this for a while. Made my mind up after this. Thanks for taking the time to upload this.

[@SoundsAndGear]

This program is a vst, a host is something that will allow you to run this vst, pro tools, fl studio, reaper, or even something like mini host, it's how you load and run these vst programs if they dont have a standalone version themselves.

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for watching, you're the first I've heard say that it sounds synthetic, but everyone has their own opinion. The choirs aren't as deep as a dedicated choir library, but they are there and there are plenty of soundsources you can use to make your own within Omni. You should check out some of their company demos if you want hear some virtuoso playing of chords and runs ;)

[@SoundsAndGear]

@Kkidzz I dunno, I guess it's a matter of taste, I don't feel they are big or verb soaked at all, especially when you take the fx off. But it's cool, I know we all have different tastes. Thanks for the reply!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Yes they are omni library updates, the trilian presets require trilian to be installed

[@weaponEX]

I love it - I didn't realize Omnisphere did these kind of sounds. I'd like to see another video like this focusing just on more of the traditional/keyboard/"workstation" type sounds. Cheers Sir

[@DCeeMusik]

I was just checking some other comments and somebody mentioned Roland sounds. I used to own a XV 2020 module back then with the Supreme Dance expansion card and basically Omnisphere is the Roland sounds plus MANY other gems that Spectrasonics cooked up. One major advantage I love is that this plugin can be controlled via iPad. When I demoed it at a music store on Maschine, I was sold!

[@SoundsAndGear]

@pasGedden7 patch just means preset, so the patch browser is the preset browser, and each preset is called a patch.

[@SoundsAndGear]

it has some cool ones as seen in this video, but you can get libraries that are dedicated to that

[@SoundsAndGear]

@MarkSmithMusic I definitely agree...it's one of those "if I could only have one plugin" type of instruments, very deep and versatile. And just sounds great! Thanks for the comment.

[@lee_the_underground_producer]

Daaaaaammmmmnn so many memories hitting me right now. All i watched this too years ago before i got fl studio. Im might just purchase this too.

[@SoundsAndGear]

Hahaha, thanks for watching

[@jaytekk9]

13:14 that guitar has vibrato right

[@SoundsAndGear]

Not sure, been a while since I did this video

[@SoundsAndGear]

@StarBoyJonesProds Omnisphere is 499, 40gb of space and yes it requires a decent cpu to run it properly. Not insanely more than anything else though, the main thing is that it takes up a lot of hard drive space and needs a lot of RAM. 4gb ram is the minimum requirement.

[@SoundsAndGear]

when you open Omni, click the "check for updates" button, it will let you know if you're running the latest version

[@KUPHSER]

i love omnisphere. been my go to for years for pads

[@SoundsAndGear]

+KUPHSER No doubt, it is a great plugin!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Sounds like you may need to adjust your audio buffer settings @Juan Herrera

[@SoundsAndGear]

I use Maschine, Ableton, or Studio One. There are free hosts like Garageband or you can try Reaper. There are also things like Minihost that let you run vsts on their own.

[@SoundsAndGear]

there's only one, it's called the Moog Tribute on the Spectrasonics site, I have that one, but didn't show any of the sounds in this video

[@SoundsAndGear]

any store or website that sells plugins will have it, sweetwater, musiciansfriend, etc or places like loopboutique or primeplugins

[@SoundsAndGear]

@prettdboy yeah...now EW has some libraries, specifically the orchestral, that are soaked in reverb at the raw sample level, most likely it's just the natural verb of the recording space, but I understand why. However in Omni, I never felt that at all.

[@SoundsAndGear]

@clippinbass thanks for the comment fam, yes, love them both, no question...really great products

[@SoundsAndGear]

yeah you can play it using a keyboard but the software needs to be loaded inside of a vst host of some sort

[@SoundsAndGear]

depends on if you have it set to show details when you browse

[@NeilRaouf]

that's true. i bought it. and that was the first thing i realized. the reverbs. i expected them to so strong. but i somehow fits into my compositions. the interface and the handling of omnisphere is just superb. thx man!

[@SoundsAndGear]

It is indeed a great library

[@tylersanders4495]

This will work with pretty much any daw this is a great synth if you are producing trance too

[@SoundsAndGear]

no it's not a standalone vst but opens as a vst in any host you wish, it's not a native instruments product and doesn't run in kontakt

[@BlackenedNL]

been using it for years now, one of the best plugin imo

[@SoundsAndGear]

most of them are along the whole keys, it may change from instrument to instrument but most cover the entire range of the keyboard

[@AceFaceRecords]

2019 and watching this Video

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for watching!

[@AndrewLeSynt]

Ace Face Records 3023 here! greetz

[@Sol_Keez]

I purchased Omnisphere 2 yesterday. So excited. My internet is horrible so the download is taking a while so while it's downloading I'll watch demo videos of sounds I'll have to use. It's halfway done.

[@adhoccerswings]

2020 and I'm reading this comment

[@bobfi5129]

@@SoundsAndGear i cannot believe that EVEN 9 years later, you're still replying to comments, i respect you

[@SoundsAndGear]

glad to help, thanks for watching

[@SoundsAndGear]

no problem man, thanks for watching

[@SoundsAndGear]

@LondonGeee depends on the person and what they are looking for. I personally get more use our of this than massive or reaktor. There is easy more than just soundtrack stuff in here.

[@SoundsAndGear]

thanks for checking it out!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Only because Kontakt has so many libraries available in it's format, but if we are talking about factory libraries, Omni is superior in my opinion. But of course it depends on what you're looking for.

[@BlaringSIREN]

Nice showing of some really cool instruments.

[@SoundsAndGear]

thanks for watching fam!

[@Icycoldonthetrack]

Purchasing soon ,thanks bro

[@SoundsAndGear]

no problem, nothing negative, we all have different tastes, you may want to checkout east west or soundiron

[@Suburbstudio]

your vid made me buy it!!! to be honest...this is worth way more money....freaking crazy how u can work with the presets...even making them different is possible...not alot...but wayyyyyyyy much more creativity than i firtst thought!!! BEST!!!

[@SoundsAndGear]

I can't think of anything specifically with that sound, it's a pretty unique library

[@DamyonsMusicHut]

Maaaan.. this is nice! I was initially pretty tenacious about Omnisphere, but now I'm sold.

[@SoundsAndGear]

thanks for watching!

[@averagemale2000]

very best video detailng the sounds in Omnisphere, thanks for sharing.

[@SoundsAndGear]

whatever the latest version is, I just make sure to check for updates regularly to make sure I'm running the latest version

[@SoundsAndGear]

K8 has a lot more going on in it, but Omnisphere is just on another level sound wise, k8 is going to give your more of a variety with the different plugins

[@SoundsAndGear]

You may just have to change the way your browser is laid out, you have a few options. I don't remember not having the stars though

[@SoundsAndGear]

@Juan Herrera Not sure, maybe you need to adjust your audio interface buffer settings

[@SoundsAndGear]

yeah make sure you're fully updated, I also have trilian so that shows up in my library too

[@SoundsAndGear]

yeah, you need a host, you can use something like toybear mini host or savi host if you don't want to open a full daw

[@SoundsAndGear]

Yes, Requiem is dope, I have the lite version, but again, it's dedicated specifically to vocal/choir sounds so I would expect it to sound much better than Omni which is a more all around instrument.

[@RISE-327]

Thanks so much for posting this,i just orders Omnisphere yesterday,ive been looking for choir sounds for ages,this just confirmed i made the right choice-CHEERS :]

[@SoundsAndGear]

no, not just a straight forward grand piano, it's been requested many times though, maybe they will update it with one

[@SoundsAndGear]

Well Komplete is a collection of multiple different plugins and effects and this is just one large plugin with a ton of sounds and instruments. I wouldn't really compare them personally, there's a lot more covered with Komplete but the sound of Omnisphere is amazing.

[@GeddensGC]

@SoundsAndGear Sorry. On the interface it says "patch browser" and @ 8:52 on the right on the interface in the middle. The logo is Omnisphere PATCH in all caps. But if its all factory sounds that cool and cheap for what you got for $499.

[@SoundsAndGear]

@AndGz7 I guess that depends on your computer, I use anywhere from 4 to 8 or more with no problems

[@SoundsAndGear]

there aren't really many acoustic piano sounds in this library

[@adhoccerswings]

6:08 I could ask no more!!!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for watching.

[@EyezerProductionz]

I am certainly going to get this VST one day. Thanks for the demo video!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for watching!

[@vlefteris]

@EyezerProductionz did you get it?

[@EyezerProductionz]

​@@vlefteris No, I decided to go for other plugins and I've also bought some hardware synths as well. I will never say never but currently I don't intend to buy any more plugins. I had a guy reach out to me and gifted me with 2 plugins worth 150$, so I will only get new plugins if developers give me NFR/review licenses. Maybe if my channel gets bigger someday, I could possibly ask Spectrasonics for a NFR license but I don't count on it :P

[@vlefteris]

@@EyezerProductionz Ok great then enjoy!

[@SoundsAndGear]

I appreciate the support!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Omnisphere is $479 but sometimes you can catch it sale at different spots online.

[@orioncon]

I have been reasearching software for a long time , and have yet heard any vir that has good sounding guitars. But this thing is packed with more sounds than I have ever heard .awsome in my book

[@ParaguaneroSwag]

Yeah. These strings sound great. Pads are great. Should be picking this up Saturday and this is convincing me to do so

[@SoundsAndGear]

***** Definitely a dope product indeed.

[@bassfacer1357]

@SoundsAndGear Thank you so much for this video. Been considering Omni for a while and the traditional (especially Eastern) instruments are very important to me. Great to hear a bunch of examples; very reassuring to know that Omni nails them! Thanks man :-)

[@SoundsAndGear]

glad to help, most of the time I am using NI Maschine, but I also use Ableton and Studio One.

[@Gungadin2012]

Thanks!! This vid is what I needed to see and hear! OMG this prog has so much!

[@SoundsAndGear]

depends on if you want hardware or software

[@SoundsAndGear]

@EvGBeats no doubt, thanks for the comment.

[@aa-ur8wu]

AMAZING !!!! Thank you from France!!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for watching!

[@SoundsAndGear]

yeah you can change the fx if you want to

[@SoundsAndGear]

yeah it's pretty nice, depends on where you get it from but it's usually around 479

[@telmogama]

I simply loved your patches demonstration on Omnisphere. I've just purchased this Plugin. I wish you could make a tutorial regarding the first steps for installation, connections, setting up with the host for beginners.

[@SoundsAndGear]

thanks for watching, they have some awesome tutorials for getting started on their website, make sure you check them out

[@telmogama]

SoundsAndGear I have the 2 hosts on my pc: the FL Studio 11and the Cantabile performer 2. Which one would you recommend with an easier interface??

[@SoundsAndGear]

@ShynAwkward vst mini host, savi host, toybear, and many others, allow you to make it standalone, and they are free :). But I feel you though, really should be standalone by default. No question. Thanks for the comment fam, truly appreciate them!

[@MarkSmithMusic]

Omnisphere is hands down the best VSTi on the market. It has uses for all genres from electronica/urban to film scoring to "acoustic" singer/songwriter indie music.

[@FreestyleEntOnline]

why did i always underestimate omnisphere...this is a amazing...omnisphere sounds perfect for my cinematic music!...im hoppin on this one... thanks st. joe..

[@algertsulka]

i love u man and your channel i enjoy every single video here!

[@SoundsAndGear]

actually, eric persing designed a lot of the sounds for roland back in the day, he was the head of roland sound design before he started spectrasonics lol, so you're very accurate in hearing that "style"

[@SkcBeatz]

Just came across this after mssgn you lol, great to see you did a vid on this to spread this vst.

[@SoundsAndGear]

word, it's amazing, love spectrasonics

[@bjornhelge97]

Can you please make a video where you show of the acoustic pianoes?

[@SoundsAndGear]

@mangel1992 Make sure you've installed all updates, these are part of the factory sounds.

[@SoundsAndGear]

Are we talking about factory libraries or just the instrument? I would choose Kontakt because there are so many libraries available for it. If we are talking just the instruments themselves, the included sounds, Omnisphere has a better library out the box.

[@mike_savi]

Thank you for the reply. I really appreciate it. On this system in particular, I'm currently using a Focusrite Scarlett 2x2 because of its portability. I may switch that up soon, though. I run Live 8 and Maschine on this system the majority of the time, along with a whole slew of VSTs. I've never had any issues, even with the very CPU intensive VSTs I use. Thanks again, Joe!

[@SoundsAndGear]

@pppeeeppee I doubt it, but why would you want to do that? How it sounds has a lot to do with it's own engine, converting to another format wouldn't yield the same results.

[@SoundsAndGear]

I think it's different, K8 has so many different instruments and fx where Omni has one instrument with tons of different sounds and options. I think K8 is more diverse but I wouldn't compare it to Omnisphere, one is a collection of different products while the other is just one really good product.

[@SoundsAndGear]

very useful sounds

[@SoundsAndGear]

@CleverDjembe Omnisphere isn't a Rompler though, it's a synth which also has sample based sounds in it as well.

[@SoundsAndGear]

make sure you have all software and library updates installed

[@SoundsAndGear]

LOL I understand that for sure! Thanks for watching man, appreciate the comment!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Nice! Trilian for sure, I'm not so into stylus, I personally have no use for it in my music, but i know many that love it, really depends on what you're doing.

[@SoundsAndGear]

not sure I would contact spectrasonics as usually if the library is updated properly then they just work

[@EvGBeats]

@SoundsAndGear Please keep making those great reviews!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Yeah Gypsy is nice but very specialized, this one is more "all around". But definitely some good stuff in both, thanks for the comment!

[@SoundsAndGear]

You talking about the Snow or the larger one with more knobs? If so, I'd go Ti first.

[@strawberriemusic]

Please could you maybe do another review on Omnisphere Demoing some other sounds maybe ??

[@SoundsAndGear]

@Reggmail no doubt fam, it's a winner for sure
