I've never heard it quite like this in any other strings library, including Spitfire's earlier releases. The oak-y, amber-y, beewax-y sound of these strings. Perhaps not, but what, for me anyway, sets this library apart from everything else, is the recorded timbre. Tack wrote: ↑ 7:33 pmNothing revolutionary here, nope.(.) Spitfire’s player and packaging seem a very distant second to OT’s Sine to me.Įssentially it seems to me that if this were an Honest Walkthrough (a la Honest Trailers) it would say “hey everyone, we got the legato right this time, as long as you don’t play fast”. But Soaring has that really rich Molte layer too which seems absent here, to really get into that 30s-50s vibe.Īlso minor grumble - we are locked into just one version, one big 80gb download without being able to select, say, the mixes or the individual mics as they offered in Sable. Although tonally it wouldn’t be quite as useful a match with SSS / SCS, it is essentially doing the same job. First - what exactly is Impulse Legato? Is it in fact what they used to call Adaptive Legato? What is actually going on with the smoothing that you can add? What is that second legato articulation that - unless I missed it - never even gets a mention?Īnd funny you should mention Soaring Strings, Larry. I’m finding that video to be mildly infuriating, terribly effusive without explaining much or anything. Yes, they’ve not exactly rowed back on the hyperbole, have they? Clearly this ensemble should be marketed as excellent SLOW legato, not the be all and end all they claim it to be. Once again though, I find the marketing REALLY annoying. I’ll shoehorn it into my template and try to blend it with the outstanding SCS ensemble shorts. To be clear, I may very well buy this if I decide it competes favorably with, say, Soaring Strings.
