I'm very happy you're reviewing different libraries. I'm just a hobbyist and can easily get lost in the never ending rabbit hole of music libraries... so having a professional give their insights on various libraries helps quite a bit. I hope there are many more videos like these coming in the future. Thanks so much!

I'm a 64 year old Classical guitarist and o just found you a week ago. I'm fascinated by you and your expertise. I'm sorry to say I know very little about computers and do not understand most of your terms, ie: ram, dry, patched and so on...which of course is my fault for not taking the time and effort for this already 22 years into this century. I have tons to learn. Love your composing (I've researched. .) and thoroughly enjoy your channel! Thank you Anne🙏❤

I m glad Anne that you are receiving recognition for your videos ...we enjoy them very much. You are kindly enough to show things others wouldn`t even consider in doing it. Thanks for not been selfish. Big hug and best wishes for you !! (you seem to be those kind of person that looks the same on the outside and the inside...both beautiful : D (with respect ) )

Thanks for this guide! This was the first string library that had classic lush Hollywood sounds that I've dreamed of finding for years, but trying to find them in particular was tough, so you are 100% correct in how confusing this library can be to go through without the manual, definitely not out-of-the-box here!

Nice review! I once got Afflatus mixed up with Flatulus from Soundiron. Needless to say my track did not sound good.

I found this channel by chance. My dear, believe me, you are one of the best TRUE reviewers out there! So much detailed information and so much knowledge on your videos!!! By the way Afflatus is great!!!

You so ably give us info, and today you really look top drawer, too. Thanks

This is a terrific review. A real review with reasoned analysis and assessment. It really is a very beautiful, emotional library, even if it takes a lot of work to learn to get the best out of it.

I love your reviews, they´re an honest insight and love that you also show the "behind the scenes" like with the RAM. love the musical examples, all in all it really gives us a good idea if is a product that we need o supplies a specific demand (like th Pandora library). On top of that watching you is the icing of the cake. 🥰

I really like your reviews, you give an honest review. Even if they give it to you for free. Thanks for doing this and sharing your knowledge. 😁

Great review, thank you!!

Very thorough and honest review. Thanks! It inspires me to pick it up again. I bought it a year ago but was overwhelmed. Now I'm overwhelmed by your gorgeous mock-up❤️. Very emotive and nicely eq'd and balanced!👍🏼

Oh my gosh, you do the dynamics so well!

George is absolutely lovely. Some very nice libraries, great crossgrade/loyalty prices, and efficient recording services (via Four For Music) for those in need. His Djembe X3M release is one of my favorites.

An exemplary analysis of the library. Thank you.

Very special library with a lovely sound :)

Damn, you are quicker than me! And your mockups sound better... why am I even doing this lol Anyway, fantastic review as always!

OMG, I am listening to the demos and the sound is incredible.

honest review and for the beautiful music I'm just a hobbyist Thanks! It inspires

Thank you for another great and honest review and for they beautiful music! Love this library and you’ve made me realize I need to go back and spend those two days (or more) between buying and using to get the most out of it. So much to discover 😀

I love the cue at the end of the video! Beautiful piece.

Thank you for this complete explanation - with a demo it's great. I'm totally agree with you : superb sound, using half of the patches only, need serious eq, great legato script, so a very good library for layering to my opinion. It will be great to have your opinion or an example of you eq for mockup (in general). Have a nice musical day !

Beautiful demo and a super helpful review. Thank you.

I like and use Afflatus but only a few select patches (the small short patches, layered with Spitfire Studio Strings.) There are way too many inconsistencies, noise and the EQ work required impedes my work speed. That doesn't translate well for a library sold at a premium price.

Excellent honest review. Thank you.

ooooo, such a lush sounding library. romantic indeed!

Anne, there may be some additional complexity, but your demo really sounds lovely and shows how its worth the learning curve!

Nice review! Music at the beginning is quite lovely too btw.

Beautiful demo! Very thorough, honest review - And you are always so down-to-earth - I really enjoy your insights! That's the most emotive library I've ever heard. It's beyond what my talent/system can handle, but something to aspire toward. Thanks for reviewing it for us!

Beautiful music and sound quality regardless.

Thanks for review!

The problem I have is that, frankly, you can make pretty much any library sound beautiful. Me, not so much.

Incredibly detailed review!

that sounds very nice!!!

Interesting to see your aggressive EQ curves there. Mine look about the same but even worse in the high mid.

Such a beautiful sounding lib - I wish it was available in pieces. After getting their freebie minimalist violins patch, I want more sections but don't want to buy the whole library for $800.

Thanks, lady 🌹

so expressive

Thanks!

I like the library but being that as you mentioned carries some flaws i always go with spitfire StudioOP and Spitfire SymphonicOP. But I feel what you mean. Good overview btw

Very nice review! What is the title of the mockup? Cheers

I'm not fond of reviews but I have to say that I think you do it really really well regarding the lenght of the video and the quantity of useful informations you provide. Thanks ! Oh, and this piece you made using this unique library is really inspiring.

How do you delete patches that you dont ? for me its for the space

Great review! Very informative and well structured. I have a question regarding the true legato harmonics patches: Do they also emulate the "chirping" sound (caused by the inevitable glissandi) you get when strings are playing fast(er) artificial harmonic passages?

Seems like they tried to organized the patchs in different themes maybe?

Can anyone tell me the title of this composition please?

It's pronounced like Strezhov(Стрижов), from Russian bird breed стриж(streezh)

Mir gefällt der Klang sehr gut! Mich würde ein Video +ber das Eq´en von Streichern freuen als auch die Organisation in der DAW bzw. Kontakt.

Have the bugs been corrected?

How much Ram do you need to run this properly?

What brand of beer is that in the background? Blue Moon?

First of all Thank you for your review! But, if i want to use only few patches! Is There a way to cancel some patches and samples of this library in order to save a lot of Hard Drive Space? and... How many GB of RAM you have??? You have a beast of computer!, maybe one day you can suggest us what PC components you have!! Thanks so much!

Can you do a lass 3 review please

What is name of the composition? Who wrote it? Anyone ???

Just curious. Was there any form of reverb on in the strings libray while the composition was played, or was the composition played without any form of reverb?

Is 64GB ram enough for this? I have an old trashcan mac.

Good review and you look sensual Anne

Now 399 Euro ?

I feel like this library doesn't get much attention. With that amount of size and patches, why don't we see pro composers using it?

Flatus means fart in Latin.

Love this library however 3 years ago this cost 634 euros, today it’s claimed to be 799 and in the sale for 399. Sorry but this is overpriced and inflating prices to then make its discounts look better is shoddy tactics. Software like virtually everything else depreciates over time never has it appreciated
