Having listened to both of them and owning neither, I think I'm gonna have to give it to CSS. That workflow looks incredible and honestly I think it would be easier to do light post-processing on CSS and be done with the string section than Pacific Strings. Of course, that's just a gut intuition and I'll take your word for it that both are good. Also, I don't like the sonics of the higher notes on Pacific, but I rarely touch that high anyway.

Just found your channel, love the content! A well deserved sub. Quick question: as someone who's tested a ton of pianos, which is your go-to?

[@ChristopherSiu]

Thanks Tiko! CinePiano is definitely my favourite.

[@tikolasola]

@@ChristopherSiu much appreciated 🙏

[@alontrigger]

Both sound great. However, I think CSS is much more flexible and could be programmed and mixed to a specific style of choice. Thanks for this great video, Chris!

[@ChristopherSiu]

Thanks for sharing Alon!

[@talnomix3164]

Pacific is way better, CSS doesnt have that playability like pacific, for faster legato its also better. I think with CSSS, pacific could sound very very good

[@LordBrozart]

Very impressed by Pacific Strings. It’s a tough choice.

[@micwarren21]

Can you use expression maps with Pacifica?

[@AlonsoJoaquinComposer]

Yes you can

[@sainthmrs]

Please tell me why additionally have Cinematic Studio Solo Strings besides CSS??? What is in the second that is not in the first? I don't understand...) P.S. series CSS unbeliveble but PS too good much too!

[@jensjensen4038]

The difference is the extra S. Making it solo strings and not ensemble strings. Different sound. Solo strings don’t have basses if I remember correctly.

[@caseyfulton6932]

CSS is a dependable workhorse while Pacific sounds more passionate. Blakus uses Pacific so it must be good :)

[@ChristopherSiu]

Absolutely! In combination it's a dream.

[@dafingaz]

I don't have CSS (yet), so Pacific Strings for me. :) LOL

[@thiagobrial]

Pacific VS...👍

[@frattuncbas]

Very cinematic.

[@jenssieckmann]

Tina Turner once sang: "We Don' Need Another He.. " ... string library. May yes, of course? 😆

[@ChristopherSiu]

😂

[@spaghoot1]

I'm loving Pacific, it feels like a plug and play version of CSS, great passionate sound but none of the messing around but CSS definitely has the edge if you wanna go all out and get a specific sound imo, performance samples always hit the spot when you want a nice comfy library to just throw on and not worry about!

[@vintagepearlguitars]

Pacific sounds a bit more "keyboard playing with string sounds" to me.

[@MrGreekBlade]

css sounds small and fake on high notes ... pacific sounds much better but is too expensive even for black friday
