Thanks so much Danny! Love your work.

Live string sections do not sound great without some work...I'd rather have a raw sound to shape, rather than anything that has been processed to someone else's liking.

​@@jaketanner109 And that is a totally fine opinion to have! If you have the time, energy and most importantly the knowledge and equipment to make libraries sound top notch, then raw libraries might be fantastic. My point is only that most of us already have enough of those libraries and IF you have the knowledge, equipment, etc to actually make it sound really good (and do it fast), you don't actually need yet another string library that pretty much does the same thing, right? :) I think it's save to say that Alan Meyerson his final outputs are absolutely on point, so I would personally find it somewhat more refreshing and useful to have libraries that somewhat reflect his decades of experience (or other professionals who are in this line of work for decades) in a well processed and good sounding set of instruments out of the box. But hey, that's just my opinion ofcourse. After years of composing/producing and often having to work with extremely tight deadlines, I would personally prefer to have more time to focus on the actual composing/producing aspects, rather than spending countless of hours "fixing" individual instruments. :)

@@AndriesdeHaan I get your points for sure...I am a recording and mixing engineer, so I usually prefer to sculpt my own sound. :)

@@jaketanner109 Completely understandable! :)

@@jaketanner109 I think what would be lovely is having both a Natural and a Mixed sound offering like how Audio Imperia did on their recent orchestral products. That would truly be the best of both worlds 😁

I'll give credit where it's due. At least they're honest about it tbh

If VSL never processed their sounds, no one would have bought the library. With drier libraries, it's really a must to demo it that way. I agree in principle, so I'd just demo both ways instead to avoid the problem.

Just a touch of Seventh Heaven Large Hall A reverb

did you bought it? can you please share some thoughts?

@ It sounds very realistic, it's not wet like spitfire but not completely dry, very even sounding - doesn't have notes popping out or unwieldy notes. Probably leans more towards tv, production, soundtracks etc.

@@chapbot2023 awesome! would you please record some longs (all sustains) without any 3rd party fx and send me in email? thank you in advanced:)

@ allow me to redirect you to this forum the library is being discussed in detail and people will probably put demo clips up: vi-control.net

I can't help but play that with each new strings library.

Flexrouter multyscript can help in any similar case: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMqUitV23MeynYE.html

@@VadimKupriyanov This is perfect, thanks so much!

Yeah I agree :P

That's where expression automation comes in, not compression

Thanks! Yes there's legato rebowing when the sustain pedal is on. No vibrato control.

He specifically mentions rebowing at 4:43

@@AlexNiedt yes, but.. I hear not true bow change, but something like a simple RR in this demo

im on the verge too..sounds good but i dont like the fact that he is not going through every sound (havent seen him go through sustains?)..i want to see more of the library not him 😅

As I see, there is Gullfoss on the stereo out which can be cause a thinner sound. Anyway, I really like what I hear. For me, legato and vibrato are much more sophisticated than in most String libraries.

It is unusual, but I kinda like it because we are actually watching the developer demonstrate his own instrument.

It's because he is faking playing it. You don't even need to look that closely. Cubase is running. I like the sound but I'm nervous to purchase without a 3rd party review.

@@chapbot2023 I'm not sure I want to watch any developer demonstrate his own "instrument" :D

@@BulletHolder You have NO IDEA how many takes it requires to play audio examples perfectly in a "live" walkthrough video. The ones I do often cut several hours of material down to 15 minutes. Pre-preparation in a DAW is essential for a good flow and to make sure viewers hear the best examples possible. Try it yourself sometime!

Welcome to the modern world. Some people fake it better than others is all.

You kidding? Dude looks handsome and confident af
