im really freaking excited for this library!

Very good legato, it sounds natural, bravo!

Note: No external reverb, EQ, or processing was used on this example, aside from panning the close mics. Featuring a beta version of Angry Woodwinds Pro.

Selected Test/Private Development - Six Violins RR Legato [ROUGH]

Minus Twenty-Two


I’ll dance in the icy streets till my nose is blue
And man I’ve got cold feet but not about you
Bring on the blizzard, bring on the storm 
We’ve got each other, we’ll keep warm 
Snowflakes are falling, we take our time
Baby I’m all in, and you’re all mine 

Snow is falling, snow is falling
Me too, me too 
There are sparks from the heart of the fire
Me too, me too 


I’ll dance in the icy streets till my nose is blue 
The cold wind is biting and bitter but there’s nowhere I wouldn’t go with you
Uncertainty’s an avalanche but it’s certainly a thrilling view 
You still have me melting when it’s minus twenty two

Come and dance outside in the falling snow 
I’ll love you forever, I’ll go where you go 
And to everyone else it seems crazy I know, I know, I know 
But when I look in your eyes I don’t notice the cold

Snow is falling, still falling
Me too, me too 
There are sparks from the heart of the fire
Me too, me too 


You’re a winter cover
You’re my cup of tea
Sweet cream on cocoa 
And June melodies 
You’re a ray of sunlight
You’re an ocean breeze 
You’re the sapphire sky above the palm trees
We’re an endless summer
You're my favorite place to be 
You’re my favorite place to be 

Snow is falling, still falling
You too, you too 
There are sparks from the heart of the fire
You too, you too 


I thought I’d set the bar so high 
Then over it you flew, you flew
Better than my wildest dreams so what’s a girl to do?
I can’t stop writing love songs, honey they’re all about you
You still have me melting when it’s minus twenty-two 
You still have me melting when it’s minus twenty-two 

Come and dance with me in the falling snow
When I look in your eyes I don’t notice the cold 
You’re pulling me in, you’re holding me close 
I’ll love you forever, I’ll go where you go 
I’ll go where you go

Voyage - Vla+Vc+Db Sordinos, p dyn (decca, no EQ, verb, or processing / VERY early PRE-alpha)

New spiccato example from Voyage development. 

Very early, rough version of one of the NEW cello spicc patches (there are multiple types). Along with another type of bass spiccato (also very early). These particular bass spiccatos are rather clumsy and were re-recorded, so they do hold back some of the nimble nature of this demo a bit. Dynamic xfades and timing isn't finessed yet for the cellos. 

I suppose I'd call this spiccato style "motion spiccato."  It's a bit more cohesive and connected (for between-pitch material as well, though this is a challenge) - it has a long way to go still, but it's a step forward from the more basic spiccato patch in the library. If I were to re-record this vc patch I would have gone for slightly higher hand position (the A-String on cellos is a predictable issue, among other things), but there's a good number of shorts patches to choose from and a variety of options. I might re-record this particular spicc style for vc, but we'll see - no promises.

As of posting this, longs in the strings are up to 15 dyn and shorts up to 13 dyn. EDIT: 14 dyn on shorts.

No processing, EQ or verb on this example. There are a LOT of harmonics, noises, as well as a degree of "pre-note" (as some people call it) on these particular shorts (and the library as a whole), so if you are particularly sensitive to those things you'll definitely want to avoid this library. Those things are part and parcel of capturing from performances (especially the particular, faster performances I'm having them do in some cases), and oftentimes basing the sampling process around "how can I get the cleanest recordings" compromises the performance.

All subject to changes.
