Re: Berlin Solo Strings - Orchestral Tools
……on paper, this library should be it. With OT’s experience that is a statement that could be valid. However, to me it’s mainly the overall sound that has a feeling of samples rather than musicians. The repetitive vibrato seems to be the main reason why this sounds like samples. I will dust off my f ...

Wave based reverbs?
Possibly an interesting (new?) development for reverbs.......
Obviously the guy in the vid has his bias towards this new wave based reverb clear, and you may want to skip some parts as he can be a tad dramatic, but interesting nonetheless

Re: Sequoia ready?
Thanks GR Baumann, it’s a minor bummer in so far as it’s not a main issue, but I do use them sometimes. It’s that increasingly updates never seem to go as suggested. They are more complex as they develop, including the eco system it’s buit into. Let alone 3party software like Native Instruments that ...

Re: Sequoia ready?
Updated to Sequoia too. But not without bumps. Main remaining bump is Apple Logic’s loops & sounds. I moved it to a separate disk as Logic allows you to do from Logic’s menus, done that before the update to Sequoia. But now Logic thinks all sounds & loops need to be reinstalled….. And my startup’s di ...

Certainly much more than a rompler.
The drag and drop functionality on various ‘jobs’ makes it more user friendly
Hmmm….getting tempting to go for the upgrade

OT brass I don’t own, but BWW ( the original) I still use whenever I need bread& butter woods. As a section they work well due to a fairly consistent overal volume and arts.

Arturia BF deals (till December 10th)
As title says....
Don't know the regular deals for new customers, but depending upon owned products ....mine is € 149,- for V collection X.
Looks attractive.
If you are interested in Arturia, have a look at your offers if you own some of their products I'd say.

Re: 48h Flash-sale (50-60% discounts) over at Klevgrand
I’m not a fan of sequenced shaker and tambourine tracks — no matter how many options you get for humanizing the performance, it always sounds wrong to me —, but if you don’t have such misgivings, Shaka is a good choice. Like all things Klevgrand, well thought-out, intelligently designed and solid so ...

Re: 48h Flash-sale (50-60% discounts) over at Klevgrand
Does anyone have experience with shaka, the shaker plugin?
Is it flexible enough, soundwise and in sufficiently sync with metronome ( not all rhythm based plugins work well when in a bigger project)

I don’t think in my lifetime I will ever own one, but whenever I had the chance to play on a Bösendorfer it has become the golden standard in my taste. The warm tone and the subtle timbres possible especially when playing softer passages, together with its excellent mechanics made it such an ac ...

Re: Streamtech Music Legacy Horn - Solo Horn intro price
Well, Linos and Piet’s ‘walkthrough ‘ say it all.
Maxime Luft seems to have a neck for these kind of libs, although his violin didn’t do it for me. This horn will join my SSD and will live a happy life there.

Sounds interesting….but apart from various written info there’s no walkthrough yet. Guess you are up Linos, on behalf of all of us ;-) Haven’t found in the written info whether it has dynamic layers, or if it’s ‘faking’ it with filters or so. At the end of the short teaser you hear a dynamic change…. ...

All true on all points. Personally I'd take all those limitations 100 fold to have phrases that actually sound natural and join up. But is there anything else out there I've missed?

The Sound Force manufacturer is also interesting , be it very specific models for specific virtual synths . My main aim is for use with Diva, Avenger, so I’d ...
