Yes, they sound perfect all together, which highlights the very problem you stated, that no one library here can do it all on it's own. But KUDOS, because I was happily surprised in light of what usually happens when you try to combine string sample libraries for a massive sound; Hans Zimmer should have taken notes from YOU before he sampled all of those strings for that huge disaster of a library done a while back for Spitfire, a shame considering all of the resources & expectations that went into that project!!
Thank you for your comment! It was rather encouraging. I wish I knew the new tricks I know now to help build that full sound using several libraries. I have not used the Hans Zimmer library, but I do notice anything from Spitfire is a bit...odd. I've never found myself a fan of their orchestral libraries enough to invest too much in them.
The comparison should have been done using Cinematic Studio Strings instead of Cinematic Strings 2. The latter was superseded by the former some years ago. One key difference is much better legato in CSS and it could have beaten the other ensamble libraries hands down. An example with CSS: ruclips.net/video/_g8iCdY34jc/видео.html
Cinematic Strings 2 legato is actually superior to Cinematic Studio Strings i.m.o. Try the patches and see how difficult it is to write legato slow or fast with CSS legato patches. Regardless if you enable or disable the intelligent legato engine. Using the Classic patches are even better. But in legato for composition and playing, Cinematic Strings 2 is actually fantastic!
All mixed together sounds really good
Cinematic Studio Solo Strings is definitely the winner followed by Cinematic Strings 2 :)
Thanks, this is very helpful and the track is impressive.
thank you for this comparison!
Any mixing involved in the last example or just a multi? Really nice sound!
Yes, I mixed the one with all of them together. Some libraries are naturally louder than others and so I had to balance them.
@@empyreanma Ah cool, I'll have try programming some stuff like this!
Fantastic!
Wow, the '' all mixed '' sounds awesome 😱😱 but...the goal is to make a choice, not to buy all of them ! So... We've got a big problem 😂

Very true, just haven't gotten to buying the new version yet. Need to invest in other libraries other than string libraries :)
