The fact that Alex has spent so much time perfecting an already superb product, instead of leaving it where it was and rolling out other string libraries and likely making more money that way is testament to the principles and dedication of the Cinematic Studio crew. This is how it should be done folks - create a class leading library , keep refining and improving it and make the update free for existing customers. Couple that with the fairest loyalty and sales policy in the business. Can't wait to try it. Thanks!

And this is why Alex is the best developer out there. Despite the library having been released a few years ago, Alex still delivered on his promise. More developers should learn from the way he treats his costumers. If a costumer shows loyalty to your product you should be professional and show loyalty back, not just take their money and abandon a product or charge for updates that should have been there in the first place. Thank you, Alex! Please never change! P.S. And how great is it that with his composing skills and talent, he could easilly just focus on composing but he chooses to spend his time giving other composers tools to make great music?

The intro is so cinematic and ominous. I love it

This all sounds fantastic. It is so nice that you continue to upgrade for existing owners of the library. It is so, so appreciated.

As someone who played in orchestras as I’m sure many of you have…these libraries are the only ones that sound and feel like you are sitting right on the stage with them. They are my #1 for everything now. Alex is a freakin legend.

Can’t wait to download this update!

This is incredible! CSS was already an industry favorite, but the fact that you've taken the care, attention, and time to make it even better speaks volumes to your integrity and dedication to your customers. Thank you so much!

I've used many (MANY (M-A-N-Y) ) libraries during my personal "pursuit of happiness", trying to find the one that after hours of hard work on cc programming and orchestrating would make me say "ok, yes, i am listening to a real orchestra" . Personally i stopped searching when my ears said to me "this is it, now create" . When i found CSS. And now it got BETTER. What can i say. No big words, no nothing, just an awesome product that gives LIFE to your creative musical thoughts. A big THANK YOU to this company.

If someone reading this is considering buying the product. I did and the after service and help you get is outstanding. Do not doubt. Buy this library.

sweet. despite being an older library this is still my go-to string writing tool!

It's crazy how realistic these instruments sound.

Holy, this is a HUGE update! That Marcato finally sounds like marcato! and Low latency legato, that's crucial !!!

Jesus Alex!!! This would have been so much work. And for a free update! You are a god-tier developer! Can't wait for an opportunity to give you more money!

Incredible work Alex, super stoked for these fantastic updates!!

Forget about the amazingly improved new patches, what a beautiful piece at the end. Gorgeous Alex!

Wow, not sure what magic went on behind the scenes but those marcatos are absurdly good! Along with the updated non-vibrato legato/crossfade and the new mics, this is kind of my dream update. Thanks Alex for spending so much time and energy improving an already exceptional product!

Awesome! Thank you for all that hard work. Please do the Cinematic Studio Percussion some day soon. Once we have all sections it will start to clear the templates of other libraries filling in.

Always loved CSS. Many reasons more for that showing up here. Thanks, Alex.

Thanks for the new updates ,, css is my favourite strings , this library always amazed me in any project that I worked on.. and so excited about this update .👌

The passage showcasing the vibrato control is incredible. Great work !

Your strings prior to 1.7 were my favorite. I'll bet I'll love them even more now. I've had so many people believe that my strings were recorded live. But not only do you make an amazing product, your compositions and demonstrations are beautiful and impressive.

This is nothing short of f***ing astonishing. This update has my jaw on the floor.

Sold. This upcoming November I will be a Cinematic Studio Series owner. Thank you for your incredible dedication, integrity and mountains of hard work.

Amazing, thanks for continuously improving your product.

The ensemble patches, marcato and runs sound so fun to write with

Amazing, especially the new non-vibrato legato transitions! Can’t wait to try it out once I’m done with my current project! Thanks for taking the time to update an already amazing library!

Oh that control over the vibrato sounds very natural! It's such an obvious meat & potatoes type of option to have, it's all about the phrasing :) . Very glad you've updated this, fantastic work!!

Awesome demos and I sincerely appreciate that CS keeps improving their already excellent libraries. Also, a big shoutout to the customer service. Always quick to respond, helpful and really making sure that the user is satisfied.

Just fantastic! Such an amazing product with a world-class update. Thank you for the fantastic attention to detail and for creating and continuing to improve this incredible series. 😊 CSS is absolutely the best!

We're all here to say thank you - what a fantastic collection of orchestral libraries you've created, maintained and updated! So excited to update on the 30th.

This is why CSS will always be my top library.

Alex, thanks for listening and perfecting. It sounds much tighter now. Those latency issues have always been a challenge :). I also found CSS Marcato to be a little bit spare. I think this now makes it far more useful and I can now see it being used as a useful performance and accent patch. Thanks for your hard work, diligence and improving a library that has always had so much potential.

Thanks as ever for an incredible product Alex! Best in the biz. Can't wait to try this.

The new short notes sound really good, especially with the basses! I also loved that low rumble effect from the basses with the low latency legato!

I’ve used CSS in so many records, my favorite library! Looking forward to updating

that low end is still amazing.

Amazing strings, amazing library, beautiful piece, bravo, thanks

Sounds stunning, Alex. Can't wait for these improvements or similar to make their way over to Solo Strings as well :)

L-O-V-E-L-Y!!!! Amazing working on this. I can't wait to download the update. Keep on leading the industry with your vision for powerful music making tools. Good stuff!

Hell yes! Love everything Alex comes up with. Great work! W.

Wow, just wow. I have the deepest respect for all the work of love you have put in this library. The demo's you write really speak for themselves and to me they sound beyond awesome. I can't wait to get going with this update. Hats off for you and your team for pulling off this amazing update.

Thank You so much, that You stand by Your brillant library and keep making it better! 👍

Amazing Mate! Can't wait to include the update! :). you're a legend!

Incredible company, fantastic library, outstanding composer! Thanks Alex!!

When I received the email regarding the update, I was working on a cue using the CSS and it made my jump up from excitement! Thank you so much for spending the time to provide these enhancements at no additional charge. Those runs sound GORGEOUS! My utmost respect to you and your team. - Leon

The best just got better.

My favorite string library just got even better. Bravo! 🙌

WOW!!!! I LOVE DAWs!!!!! I need to learn more.

Whoever composed these :) gave me goosebumps!

Sounds truly fucking amazing. Thanks so much for your hard work Alex!

It’s been a couple of years or more since I’ve ever tried CCS, and really far apart from being an amazing product this sets you guys at the top of the industry. Updating an amazing product is priceless, well done and congratulations.

This is truly amazing. Still beats every other string library out there, hands down!

Really lovely! Excited for the update. Thank you for all your hard work 🙏

Unreal, sounds so good. Saving up for Brass next!

Much gratitude ! I always like your compositions very much.

That new piece is sooooo beautiful 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Finally!! 🤘😎 Thanks Alex and team for the hard work! Can't wait for Aug 30 :)

Looking forward to the update! Sounds fantastic

Thank you so much for this update

You're a legend Alex! This is awesome! Just keep it coming brother! Much respect to you.

Ein wunderschönes Stück. Bravo!

Superb work, Alex.

I’d love to write a more eloquent comment here, but after watching this demo all I can think is “dayum!!!” 😮

Amazing piece at the end! Thanks so much for all the improvements! 👏

Outstanding!

To Alex, you've earned the industry's respect on how you take care of the CSS users with incredible product updates. I already have CSS, CSSS, CSWW, CSP, and almost done saving up for CSB. I love how integrated every library is with each other. Oh, by the way, with CSS 1.7 update, would you still recommend copy-pasting midi regions between CSS and CSSS and CSW?

This is just perfect. Man, you're a legend.

Amazing! Thank you for this Alex!

Fantastic, Alex. Many thanks for all your hard work! Can't wait to download this new version! And I will also download and study the midi file of your piece, impressive!

The very best just got better.

The best of the best just got better. THANK YOU!

This strings has a good potenzial with realism sound. I hope Cinematic Studio Brass, can add new instruments and new sound for new additional Trumpets, Horns, and Trombones (Tenor and Bass)

Very interesting and well done. JM.

Thank you Alex for your and team's hard work and dedication! Sounds amazing! As usual!

i would love to have this! out of my price range right now but hopefully someday!

Amazing - thanks Alex!
