Spot on! I really appreciate the balanced and down-to-earth approach to your review of this library. Especially the fact that you didn’t shy away from pointing out the weaknesses in the legato patch. (My initial impressions from listening to some demos and watching the official walkthrough were actually quite similar... I thought something like „Lovely voice, but mmmhh... there’s something strange happening with some of the legato transitions.“ ...until seeing your video, I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was exactly, though.) It‘s a bit of a pity, actually, because some (most?) of the other/older vocal libraries from Soundiron don’t seem to have that issue. But then again, those also come with a different price tag...
Are you the dude who did the work for Tina Guo? Think I remember seeing a video from you a while back and absolutely loved it. Thanks for the review mate :)
I think the legato transitions are like that because they messed up at the recording stage, but noticed it too late, and couldn't go back because of budget blown, so they tried to fix it by using another transition. That's not okay in my book. Listen to Ivy Audio's fre vocal library called Claire, even that has better legato transitions (a FREE vocal library). (Not to diss on Soundiron, I they they have some truly excellent libraries, they harp is my favorite harp of any harp library for example, but I don't think it's acceptable from them to sell a buggy fix-it-after-the-recording type of library, they did the same thing with many if not all of their vocal libraries. Pitty.
Thanks for the review Chris this the first time I've heard of this Library and I'm a soundiron fan. I can definitely put this to good use
Chris Aschenbrenner My pleasure Chris. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for taking time to make this very useful review.
You're welcome!

Hey Manuel, I really appreciate that, thank you! Yes, I'm hoping they can fix that in a quick update :)
Great walkthrough. Lovely sound.
Thanks Cubic!
Thank you for the review!
Typo I wrote, sorry.
I meant to write:
Ivy Audio - Clare Solo
(the free vocal library, with better true legato transition recordings)

Yes indeed! Thanks a lot George :)
@@ChristopherSiu No thank YOU! I learned so much about supporting solo instruments from that video. Your channel deserves so many more views mate
good review

Would you say that this librbray would be useful for writing epic orchestral music or is it only for gentler stuff?
David Brussard Hi David, I’d definitely say it excels in softer passages and more emotional scoring. For epic orchestral, I’d look at AI’s Hangar 4.
@@ChristopherSiu Thank you very much :)
once AI gets good enough all the singers would get replaced
