Fluid Shorts II - Destiny 2: Grasp of Avarice - Arrangement by Diego Leal E - Performance Samples

Wrongtools - Nodal

A quick comparison of string section patches from 4 different Kontakt libraries. It's cool to see how each developer approaches their sound differently. From the rooms, to the musicians and playing styles. Which one do you like the most? Each section plays 4 notes/chords, then the whole set repeats. Products used: Cinesamples CineSymphony LITE, Spitfire BML Sable Ensembles, NI Session Strings Pro, ProjectSAM Orchestral Essentials.

String Section Patch Comparison

Oliver's second exploration of this incredibly unique library... Contextual using Sable strings and other treats from the Spitfire catalogue.

A couple quick tracks I slapped together using Spitfire's excellent new LCO orchestral library. Neither are what I would consider finished tracks and they weren't composed with anything specific in mind; I've only scratched the surface of what LCO can do, but it's a super playable and intuitive library and I can't wait to use it more. It's been a while since I've used a library that's inspired me this much right off the bat!

Both tracks use the same three “extended technique” patches; Violin, Cello, and Basses + Celli Long Techniques. The first track uses the ‘Vivid Long’ articulation for the Violin and Cello patches and the ‘Long Harmonics’ patch for the Basses + Celli. The second track has the same layout aside from the Cello, where I used the ‘Long Harmonics’ articulation.

Very, very minimal processing. No EQ or compression aside from a limiter on the master bus that I didn’t wind up needing (ceiling set to -0.6db, threshold untouched) and some light saturation just for a tiny bit of added ‘shimmer’ courtesy of the IVGI plugin by Klanghelm. I routed the strings through some reverb (Freeverb 3), though I could have easily just relied on LCO’s existing reverb. All the patches were played with their default mic load-up and stereo width. I panned each channel a little bit, but again, it was minimal -- highest was just upwards of 10% right or left.

I bought Adagietto in the sale from *dio and thought i should give it a run on the same piece i used for my other library comparison. I think it is a good sounding library and very real sounding for the money. The Violas are a bit weak as is often the case libraries.
