True.

Yeah have checked the Monster Staccatos, haven’t had a massive play with them, but so far so good. Its a cool thing for them to do.

no need to apologize I just want to make sure Alex gets credit lol, yeah… a dedicated library will usually sound much better than a multipurpose one.

I think they sound awesome.

Oooops!
I’m sorry! I still like the quality of the sounds, some of the other software applications, their orchestral sounds quality is pretty dyer.

Yeah no doubt man! The VSL strings in Kontakt are pretty decent, I just like the way these sounds a lil bit better, something sounds a bit smoother with them.

But you could definitely record to audio or something…

The super machines are here…we just don’t all have them lol. i don’t think you can buy a new computer that isn’t 64bit from best buy etc anymore lol…but I don’t have a 64bit machine yet!

Did you checkout the Monster Staccatos free download? It’s pretty coo

I suppose you could always use Kontakt’s Strings to quickly get idea’s down, replacing them with the Cinematic Strings to get the sound just right and bouncing an audio version for quicker workflow when working on other parts of the track.

…until the Super Machines come along! lol

sup sup! Well, I don’t think NI products are high at all actually, but this isn’t an NI product, it’s just a library that’s in Kontakt format, which a lot of them are (which is why I love Kontakt)

I’m not an orchestra dude, so I’m not really sure but I think 1st and 2nd violins relate to how they are setup in the orchestra lol… maybe their location or how many is in the section?

Yeah man it’s very tweakable, the memory issue is there, just like with most large libraries. I had 5 parts loaded and it was using 1.15gb lol… with 64 bit machines becoming common though, it may not be much of an issue…just make sure you have the stuff loaded before you start, they take anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute to load depending on which patch it is…not quick for the workflow.

But I like em.
