    I've been on a sample library hiatus for a little while, as I focused on further theory and orchestration study. Now, I'm back using sample libraries. I must say the Cinematic Studio series is currently my most used library set. It's simple to understand, easy to use and sounds better than all other libraries I've tried. I'm not just referring to the strings, but the brass and woodwinds, as well. Now, it doesn't have every articulation, but it covers the bulk of what I normally use. I look forward to more libraries by them.

    I'm a HUGE fan of the Cinematic Studio series. All of my latest scores have come with Cinematic Studio Strings and Cinematic Studio Solo Strings. They are seriously the best strings I've ever heard!

    The narrower CC curves at the end reassure me as with BBC SO Core I often find myself having to exaggerate the width of these curves to hear a noticable difference, but then often I don't want to go all out until the big climax of the song, but other libraries like this seems to offer the dynamic range I'd love to have

    I have never seen anyone not raving about CSS. I was looking for some strings with legatos and was going to buy Abbey Road 2 by Spitfire but this video has convinced me that CSS is the next purchase for sure!
    Plus I’m Australian so I’ll be buying a local product 😍🇦🇺😍
    Thanks for the comprehensive video Chris 👌🏻👌🏻

    Thanks for this video. So now I am sure, that CSS is the best string plugin I own. Very clever concept in programming and great sound. Two tips/remarks: 1. You should be aware of giving the regions the right negative delay for good timing. 2. If you use only spot one and two, you can simulate a divisi a2, that's quite cool. Keep on with your great work here on RUclips Cristopher.

    I know it is a completely different UI but I do hope to dive into the learning curve and get adept at programming them.

    I have tested out and watched quite many libraries but if I hear correctly, this one has the best spiccato. It is detailed and sharp. Others sound too soft or blurry. Not really sure why.

    My biggest gripe is it lacks real Sordino and pretty much any other articulation type. No Sul Tasto, Sul Pont, Flautando, etc. None of the more interesting articulations.

    IMO this is the best sounding library. I use Nucleus to sketch and then I transfer the midi on CSS patches, the difference is day and night.
