Final Fantasy Inspiration ? :O Awesome Video Thanks !!

Sounds beautiful. I am using BBCSO Core (non legato) layered with sample modelling strings. I prefer the sound of BBCSO and the programming and flexibility of Sample Modelling.

Not enough usable sounds. Would be best for games and effects. Not for mainstream music composing

I wasn’t too sure about this until I heard your demo…..just purchased it. I’m trying to calm down on sample libraries this year..but unfortunately not a great start lol how many do you roughly buy a year? I know some companies send you libraries to review…many thanks Steve

sounds great!

Thanks for the review Tom! So glad you’re enjoying Blackwater! We really appreciate your deep dive. 🙌

This sounds so good, I for sure have to get CSSS

Hey Tom, Thanks for sharing! is the PreSonus audio interface essential for writing orchestral music? ( considering I am not recording live instruments/I don't need any microphone for my compositions and I use only MIDI input? Thanks!

Exceptional as you say. This will be going into my toolbox too.

I appreciate you reviewing essential aspects. Mine is on the way. I've been missing out getting the most out of several libraries.

Great video, thanks:)

Nice explanations, very detailed. Your piece is a bit reminiscent of Ralph Vaughn Williams, I hear hints of Barber's Adagio, but I don't think that's it. I have Glass Strings and it does sound great right out of the box so-to-speak, which is nice. I have many other orchestral libraries and solo instruments but CSSS are really good.

Wonderful piece Tom. I love some of the crunchy harmonies your counterpoint yields. Very nice writing and orchestration. The mockup is also very good. Must have taken quite a while to produce.

very enjoyable

What notation software did you use? That sounds great.

Do you teach too on online ?

Wow it’s like real sound and amazing

Thanks very much for the review. I’ve been looking at this one. I have a few of these one-button-wonders that can provide underscores, mutating textures, and orchestral embellishments. For a music hobbyist like me, this one is very nice, though a bit pricey at $200 (regular $250). Still, it is on my wish list as a someday-maybe, perhaps if it goes on sale for 50% off.

Would you consider doing a template video?

You mentioned you have East West ( I’m guessing you mean the composer cloud subscription) do you not like the Hollywood strings? And what do you use from EW?

Saw that same video a couple of months back. A few weeks later I ordered one. My Conductor MkII came in ~2 weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE it. It's built like a tank, but with some of the smoothest faders I've ever used.

The thing with altiverb, is it's the sound of an empty room. When there is an audience and when there is an orchestra playing, the hall sounds totally different. Altiverb however shines in audio post for capturing environmental rooms to be used for ADR.

have you ever tried MTurboReverb ? I think its amazing, despite the awful user interface.

Tom, did you get the Fluid Shorts III library and is that what you've demo'ed here? I've been looking at the Performance Samples catalogue and had my eye on Fluid Shorts offering (rely love the bite and the attack) - but undecided on which of the three they offer. Thanks, G

Not sure if you noticed, but you can open Trillian within Omnisphere. This would apply to Keyscape too.

Have got any Westwood Stuff?

Really informative video Tom, I really enjoyed. I have BBC SO Pro and just picked up CSS, so can't wait to try blending them like this. I see you're using the LUXE plugin, I was looking into this also, do you use it primarily for extra sheen on the high frequencies for strings. Klevgrand also have a Pana plugin (similar to Panbox) - do you find the Panning plugins a real benefit for positioning instruments? Thanks, G

awesome video I need more videos on altiverb there are not many out there

Thanks for the video! Nice complete presentation! I put a long comment on the official video too.

Sounds great but I can’t say I want to use pre written music

you my good sir have got yourself another sub. never seen you before and yet i watched the whole 40 minutes with ease - and amazement. and inspiraiton. extremely well done

Amazing Library! I Must get this one for Christmas! Keep up the Good Work!

Great library!

Thank you for checking out the library!

Liked + subscribed + saved. Very educational. Thank you.

That was magical.

nice video :-) I use afflatus .and css strings. but need much EQ change . in de mid range ... but I also a korg kronos with the Epic Composer Private Collection . it sounds good without EQ change.

I had the privilege of playing a gig in Mechanics Hall years ago and that amazing experience drove me to the Seventh Heaven Professional version. It has a setting for Mechanics Hall as does Altiverb, but for much cheaper. There are also some Bricasti M7 IRs floating around the internet that will work in Logic Space Designer if someone is looking for that specific hall. Thank you for sharing your early reflections/late reflections approach. Always informative when I get the chance to watch some of your videos.

I will be honest. Initially, I thought, "Who is this guy?" Then I checked out your website, and immediately became interested when I saw the video of the live orchestra performance. From there, it only got better. What I like most about your studio is that it's not over-burdened with gear. The more theory, harmony, counterpoint and orchestration knowledge I acquire, I feel the less gear I need to accomplish the end goal which is simply (but perhaps not so simply) writing quality music. *Subscribed*

Nice set up. Nice video.

Great studio tour Tom! I love insights into other composers' studios. I've subbed 😊

Anothe question: When you import the midi into logic, all you do is record the expression and modulation?

Hi Tom! I have a question...What string library do you recommend, LA Scoring Strings 3 or Cinematic Studio Strings? Thanks for the video!!!

The scores to the left are probably the most exciting bit for me haha. Also, love the Omnisphere box sitting there! Sometimes I miss the days of buying things in actual boxes...

for this piece though, i prefer bbc so more. reason is that it is more classical live performing sounding, less hollywood hyped mixing. Also it has way less slurred legato's, and lots less dramatic vibrato.

Hey there, liked your video, but I'm new to sample libraries and there are many, but I love the way performance sample libraries sound not that it means anything for As beginner ears. CCS is aloud MM also good, etc. What would be a best string library you start with that not difficult to understand or work with. Also, what screen moderator do you use?

Tom, I have a question for you: which Ominisphere patch are you using for your mono bass?
