If you'd only use this library for its beautiful shorts, you'll be glad with the close microphones: Crystal-clear! The CC1 is extremely jumpy and it just doesn't feel intuitive. No matter what I tried, I just can't get it to sound right, let alone musical.
The ultra-clear recordings make it feel as if the violinist is sitting right next to you. I can see this library being a great tool for film composition. Just toying around with all of the quirky samples is really inspiring. From whispering flautando to aggressive bartok snaps, and from brushed spiccato to long sul tasto. Spitfire Studio Strings Pro (SStS) win in the category "alternative articulations". Long legato lines, a traditional big sound Spitfire Audio Studio Strings Pro ~ €450 inc VAT That is the one reason why I purchased this library, and I am very glad I did. The samples are beautifully dry, and I appreciate how realistic the legato sounds. The various microphones are OK, I have yet to discover their added value.
The bartok snaps and col legno sound good, nothing wrong with them. I particularly enjoy the ease of use for the CC1: It's cross-fading is very gradually, allowing for a smooth blending of dynamics.ĬSS doesn't do short samples too well, I find the pizzicati to be laking in strength. I would consider this my workhorse for most strings parts, as the legatos (both classic and advanced, the latter allowing for long, medium and short legatos) are just beautiful. Aggressive articulations, modern compositionĬinematic Studio Strings (CSS) sounds extremely musical, if that makes any sense.
