Grinders 4 is a glitchy modern horror and sound design album with terrifying hybrid textures, brooding drones, killer drops, heart-stopping surprises, bone-chilling scary ghostly screams, evil whispers, and sinister, ominous undertones from the depths of hell.

COS053 - Grinders 4

Twist Of Fate

Vanguard

Ulterior Motive

ODYSSEY - Behind The Myth

The Death Of Many

www.audioimperia.com

Capturing the sweetness and softness of a Chamber Strings section has long been a dream of ours. Recorded in collaboration with our friend Jasper Blunk from Performance Samples we have now made that dream a reality.

Dolce is our definitive romantic Chamber Strings library with 7 1st Violins, 5 2nd Violins, 4 Violas, 3 Celli, and 3 Double Basses. We selected our favorite players all of whom we've worked with on many other projects and recorded a large selection of articulations to really offer something that will be a well-rounded tool in your arsenal.

Audio Imperia - Dolce: "Moment’s Past" by Christopher Siu

The Butterfly Effect

The Sixth Element

This example is very early - before take-selection (selecting the best/most natural takes that work with the rest of the material), any finesse, tuning and so on. This is the V2 solo cello which is the re-record that has improvements on the V1 solo cello (which will also be included of course). Light external verb used.

Vista II - Solo Cello V2 - Improv

Notes: mp dyn only, external verb, early version/unpolished

Vista II - 12 Violins - Legato Early Version MP Dynamic (unpolished)

HIGHLIGHT: 12 VIOLINS LEGATO MF-F

Track by Jasper Blunk. All patches from Vista 2 (brass and harp is bonus in the library). External verb used but nothing else on the master - all patches are extremely early. Brass isn't tuned yet. Violins have a bit of take selection but not much finesse yet at all. In this particular track legato patches used are just one dynamic so it doesn't show the dynamic range yet (just volume on mod-wheel), however up to 12+. dynamics have been recorded for legatos so far. The challenge was to try to write a quick piece in a brief period of time with just Vista 2. From my recollection all mics were decca. - JB

Vista II - Speedwrite - With early lib (notes in description) - by Jasper Blunk

HIGHLIGHT: 7 VIOLAS LEGATO MP-MF

Example was basically just improvised in with a couple note changes after the fact. Patch is extremely early with next to no finesse or take selection. Sustains are not finalized either (sustain grafts, etc). The movement you hear in the sustains is to a degree representative of what will be in the final library, but will be somewhat masked as well by other dynamics playing at the same time and certain finalization protocols that have yet to be completed. But yes, there will be movement. In this particular example the legato patch used is just one dynamic so it doesn't show the dynamic range yet (just volume on mod-wheel), however up to 12+. dynamics have been recorded for legatos so far. In the current mapping this is dynamic 7 out of 12, meaning 6 dynamics below this one and 5 above. External verb used. Close + Decca mics.  - JB

Vista II - 7 Violas Legato (MP-MF)

HIGHLIGHT: 6 CELLOS LEGATO (~P/"soft")

Patch is extremely early with zero take selection for this dynamic. Sustains are not finalized either (sustain grafts, etc). With the softer dynamics, the intervals begin to get somewhat less "intentional" at this dynamic and below (as you can perhaps contrast with the louder dynamic example posted previously). The "piano" dynamic is rather subjective, but that's my rough estimate here. 

The movement you hear in the sustains is to a degree representative of what will be in the final library, but will be somewhat masked as well by other dynamics playing at the same time and certain finalization protocols that have yet to be completed. Some slower playing so you can see how the movement affects the intervals fading back into the sustains (admittedly, at this extraordinarily early stage).

In this particular example the legato patch used is just one dynamic so it doesn't show the dynamic range yet (just volume on mod-wheel), however up to 12+. dynamics have been recorded for legatos so far (10 for cellos). In the current mapping this is dynamic 5 out of 10, meaning 4 dynamics below this one and 5 above. External verb used. Close + Decca mics.  - JB
