Re: Orchestral Tools: Monolith (first recording at Air Studios)

Richard Harvey’s percussion apparently is “permanently stored” at Air and is too fragile / valuable to move, according to OT. That’s why they recorded there. I do not think this is anything more than that.

Re: Bunker Samples Intimate Viola “Iremia” has now been released (and it is indeed lovely)

Sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine there aren’t more interested potential buyers out there. Sometimes there are so many concurrent releases it seems people get distracted by all of it. I know I have been on occasion. Keep at it. Maybe some well known composers with a bit of a following can do a dem ...

Re: New (very nice imho) Bunker Samples Intimate Viola library available for pre-order

Intimate Viola Iremia has seen an official release and is now generally available.

It is also glorious.



Demo’s sound great too Nicolaj. You did an amazing job. I congratulate you and hope you’ll sell a ton of these.

Re: Abbey Road Orchestra - Violins 1 announced

To stick to just facts: modular libraries that were sold as such in the past, that were eventually wrapped into a bundle: yes - insincere marketing.

Their current modular range: let’s wait and see what will happen and call it insincere if and when there’s an actual reason to.

I wouldn't use it either. Side note: Anyone else find these SA videos of using the latest library a drag?
Yes, I do.

Re: Spitfire Audio / Trevor Horn's "Jupiter"

As for The Police, I hear you. What makes Ghost In The Machine so great is One World (Not Three), and especially Copeland’s drumming. I don’t think I’ve ever heard such a groove (and a lovely recorded one at that) on a rock record.

Re: Spitfire Audio / Trevor Horn's "Jupiter"

My favourite 1980s albums are made in 1981 it seems. Ghost In The Machine. Tin Drum. Sons & Fascination / Sister Feelings Call. All share very diverse yet gorgeously recorded drum sounds and exquisite use of synthesizers. Of course the bass playing is also ridiculously good on all three. And then of ...

That $99 deal is indeed fantastic. The strings are great and the harmonium is even greaterer. Lovely musical instruments that I actually use quite frequently.
