Wow. Absolutely outstanding. Beautiful composition, but those results really blow me away, even though the real orchestra of course sort of breathes warmer.

Rare who can unveil the true potential of CSS and you Oliver are doing it. If you could share a video of your midi programing your modulation expression etc.. that would be liquid gold. Thank you very much

You know what is sound easier to tell the difference between the software and the acoustic recording, the Brass instruments. Because unlike strings that have sounds easier to replicate. Brass instruments have far more articulations and specific flavors of sounds, that alot of the VSTs still struggle to replicate just right without sounding overprocessed right out of the box, with the limiters, and the equalizing.

Are sample libraries better than real orchestras? I'd say no. But they are close enough, and certainly more convenient for those of us that like creating this type of music yet don't have a full orchestra on speed dial.

pretty hard to believe as long as Cinematic Studio Strings library has few milliseconds gap due to the script complexity. If you check other demos no one note is quantize perfectly.

You realize that all of your legato notes are off the beat by a few hundred milliseconds, right? The legato transitions are starting on the beat, but it should be completed on the beat. In the CSS documentation, it says that when using legatos to pre-delay the tracks by a few hundred milliseconds...

When you nor reference beat to play on it's not important if ALL his strings start a few milliseconds late because they are sync (on beat) again because they all are delayed the same amount. afterwards for the comparison it's just important to sync the two audio files exactly over each other!

Slow string orchestras do not play to a predefined click or beat. If you analyze them they're is always an ebb/flow to the tempo. Thats why subtle tempo automation during a slow strings passage is a very wonderful trick to add realism on top of dynamics and vibrato. Read the Evenant article on it, it's very informative.
