Very true, Prodigal, and I have of course no problem to make many allowances for ChristianРІР‚в„ўs and PaulРІР‚в„ўs view on what a string library of theirs should deliver, but when it reaches the point where that view, or the result from it, is clearly at odds, and even in contradiction with how they market and sell the library, somethingРІР‚в„ўs very wrong, in my opinion.

It's clear that Christian and Paul's workflow and stylistic preferences doesn't necessarily reflect the workflows of some of the more discerning members here. Prodigalson wrote: РІвЂ вЂ 10:02 pm (.)

Linos, I'd like to have a go at this - also will have a go at it with SSS for comparison, seeing as that is (one of) the other major string offering(s) from Spitfire. I must say that whole part you highlighted does not live up to Spitfire's usual standards in my opinion. Piet, yes, there is that phasing-ey sound again in Homay's video.

I'll probably rather not hear this phrase rendered with Spitfire Studio Strings, but if anybody wants to have a go I'll happily provide the score and/or the midi file. In this case I even prefer it over CSS, which I originally used to mockup this piece. Gosh, I am a fan of Light & Sound's sound signature.

When Christian writes all of his music by conceptually separating shorts from longs and recording them as such, is it much of a surprise then that we don't get libraries conceptualized to attain the zenith of playability and technical achievement or legatos capable of playing anything more than what you might hear the latest 'scandi noir' TV series? I also think its important to view these libraries through the lens of who is creating them. (And to a large extent I undersand that, the internet is a snake pit). Why would they take major criticism of a library on board and implement any changes when their business plan is to crank things out? One only has to watch a handful of Christians vlogs to get a sense that they don't exactly take forum opinions seriously. However, I just simply don't think they're listening. On the one hand I'd like to say we we should keep them aware of the concerns we have about this ( and other) products.

How could they take a breath for a second to ruminate on this release when they have, what, 3, 4 more major releases to come this year? (I say that without knowledge, just a guess). It is this focus on realism, combined with simplicity, that makes our libraries stand out from the crowd.I feel like this library has given evidence to a theory Ive had for a while that with the amount of libraries they've been releasing of late there is simply no way for them to stay as invested in the return each library is giving to their customers. While auto-tuning is always an easy option, we opted instead to tune the entire library manually, by ear, rather than stick rigidly to perfect tuning. To do this, we left much of the natural performance of each instrument intact. Tuning: Throughout the entire production process of every library we create, great care has been taken to make sure the tuning of each instrument is as realistic as possible. We feel that itРІР‚в„ўs worth the effort this is a fundamental aspect of the library, and will not be changed. This requires practising playing your melodies slightly ahead of the beat, which will become natural after a short while. To achieve this, we incorporated a delay system, whereby each new note you play in a legato phrase will be delayed by up to around 1/4 of a second.

Latency / Delay: All of the libraries in the Cinematic Studio Series have been designed to maximise realism, especially when playing legato.
