I recently bought the Sample Modeling Strings after owning East West Hollywood and some VSL Libraries. I highly recommend using cc11 for dynamics over cc1 for vibrato. You can go from ppp to fff with now noticeable crossfades. That's huge. What's great for Ensemble strings ist, that they are build from several patches with different humanization settings. So runs sound very natural. Once you know how to use the library it's MUCH easier to program than any other library I have. BUT the short repetition of the lower (solo) strings can sound machine-guny

Tripple stops - not an issue but not so doubles. An exhaustive overview of solo strings there Michael - thank you for your time and showcasing the options. I think I will just expand what I have when I can and go the Cremona route.

I'd recommend Chris Hein Solo Strings over any of these. I own Spitfire Solo and BBCSO Pro, but Hein is is so deeply and vastly sampled it's mind-blowing. It does have a particular tone you should check first, and by default the dynamics are controlled by velocity on the key, but they're so incredible. So many instruments in the Extended version too. 4 different Violins, 4 Celli, 3 Violas, 3 Basses, and ensemble patches using them. It goes on sale once a year I think, and yeah, it's my favourite library hands down.

I have waited for a comparison like this. As a violin-player I think, that still nothing comes close to the real instruments. Meanwhile I realize string-quartet recordings with the cello-part programmed using VSL Solo strings, but I record the upper three voices live. In the past I have tried to program all parts, but with VSL alone it sounds stiff and lifeless. Now when I listen to all those libraries I think, that Samplemodelling is capturing the dynamic range of the strings much better than the other libraries, while the sound seems to be a bit artificial. Soundwise I prefer Spitfire. In fact string-instruments are much harder to recreate via sampling than many other instruments.

If I'm not mistaken, SampleModeling and AudioModeling were the same company that split. AudioModeling now makes the SWAM stuff, which has great woodwinds and solo strings but the brass isn't great. SampleModeling has amazing solo brass on the other hand, even though it doesn't look as good as SWAM in terms of UI.
@mrdali67
@mrdali67 Год назад
SWAM is absolutely amazing for their expressiveness if you can control it well. Still think the base sounds of sample libraries is better. Propably also a matter of opinion tho. But I really don't think at least non pro's could afford a full orchestral library of it. Expensive stuff 🤥

I love that you can change the speed of vibrato in the cremona series. Random speeds across patches that dont relate to the musics tempo or feel is all that most libraries offer and that's not really how vibrato is played a lot of the time right? Normally in time in 8ths or triplets. Or even speeding up and slowing down with the swell.
@ComposerMichaelDow
@ComposerMichaelDow Год назад
Lower volume, slower vib, getting louder and faster vibrato for more intensity etc

For SampleModeling, it's almost impossible to manage all the settings with sliders. That's not the right approach. I'd suggest using a breath controller or MidiPaw software that works with a LeapMotion. I use the later and can control 9 different CC in real time and EASILY! MidiPaw is amazing. I move my hand up to make level up the dynamics, and progressively turn my hand while doing that to add vibrato. So natural, so easy, so expressive. I set different hand moves for different CC, and that makes the instrument very expressive and real. Also know that you can EQ your strings if the tone is not perfectly what you want. And don't use SampleModeling dry, with a good convolution and reverb plugin, their violins are unbeatable in term of real term performance and musical expression.
@matthiasrother9743
@matthiasrother9743 Год назад
I recently bought the SM-Strings to use in Dorico. In the Expression Map editor you can set any cc Parameter or key switch and assign it to any notation marking (like "no vibrato", "Pizzicato", legato) and even can set the note length relative to notated length. Along with the playback rules that are becoming better every year I can just notate my music an load the SM-Strings. So around 80% of my music is done. And than I export MIDI to finish it in cubase. Great. I also recommend the Aaron venture WW and Brass. Similar approach.

As Guy mentioned, it depends on your taste, your feeling, your purpose, your ease of use. I would add to the price, because you can get some products at a discount at very good prices, and some are almost never discounted. Sound vs. price plays a significant role for most of us. There is no obvious winner in libraries, and a skilled and talented musician can create a masterpiece even with a relatively poor library for a few bucks. BTW Audio Imperia Solo is another very good sounding library (without double bass) just for a more lyrical purpose. Additionally I like 8Dio Anthology Strings.

Very nice! QUESTION: considering that different instrument sets may make different articulations available in different ways (e.g. different patches vs mod controller), how would one go about turning a composition produced using any of these instrument sets to an orchestral score that could be followed by a real orchestra? That seems like it could be a challenge, with a different approach needed for each different instrument set. Is there any known software solution for cracking this tough nut?

So they will be a good pair of libraries to have. It really has a nice sound with Tokyo Scoring. Very Anime sound. The Virharmics solo libraries are super nice too.

Can you explain how you deal with the latency of the Cinematic Studio Solo Strings? Do you just nudge to get them in time, or are you strictly playing it in live and leaving it as is?

Thank you, Guy. This is so helpful.... hmm, hearing these all back to back, and being a composer cloud subscriber, I realize that I probably have the worst sounding string library 😛 that's not a good realization. Unfortunately my wallet doesn't support my tastes 😄

should have done Sacconi strings quartet from Spitfire. it's really good sounding, i am picky with string sounds and workflow too, i don't have Saconni strings yet but i know it's good, it was used in a video game i play all the time, Celeste. in the Farwell DLC part

How is it possible to clip the Spitfire library by itself? How much CPU does it require? Thanks for the video.
