This is a beautiful library for epic sounds, but note that it is extremely CPU intensive when more than a couple of instances are running. Also some weirdness with the default key switches being in the -1 octave, but sometimes also triggering sounds. Who expects High Woodwinds to have a sound at C#-1?! But since it was on sale in a bundle for 200 euros, I'm not writing to complain. I've also spent about 30 hours in this VST set now, and so came to see what others found - I missed some of those synths sounds you used, wonderful stuff. Great video, sub'd!

You guys are so underrated. Great review

[@thesampleist]

Hey! Cheers for the kind words! :D

[@tihomirtodorov407]

I'm watching your video while downloading the Ultra, and I'm like holy smokes! You got me so excited! Those are some exquisite sounds there. Thank you for the inspiring video :))

[@thesampleist]

Thanks for the kind words! We hope you enjoy Majestica as much as Greg did :D Sounds great to us!

[@halloweenbennyxd4791]

Ohh, nice!😊 A Da Vinci Code-inspired composition, out of the box! Really nice review! 😊❤ Thx!🙏

[@totalmusicfreedom]

Damn, I thought I hid it's origins well - obviously not! :-)

[@halloweenbennyxd4791]

Haha, no need to hide... it's great!❤️🤗 Even the scores from the greatest composers in film music have been inspired by old classical and famous pieces.😄

[@JAGValiant]

What's the DAW?

[@DesoloZantas]

Why do you skip the spot mics? I've heard all of the samples before. I just never heard the spot mics. Everyone keeps skipping it.

[@robertwagendorfer6976]

Not correct! Have a look at 13:50

[@5ammy13]

Lol. So maybe everyone doesn't keep skipping it and you keep missing it? Just kidding, but cognitive bias is a real thing eh?😁
