    What a beautiful library

    This library is superb and one could easily justifiably say this is all one needs-depending on one's style.
    There is nothing that comes close to this and the sounds can be gorgeous. Stunning!

    Thank you so much for you video, I just needed a confirmation video of my will to buy and use immediately this library for my scores, and you did it.
    I’m curious, would you be so kind to share what are your go to libraries ?
    Best regards from a French composer and long live your channel

      Thanks so much for the kind comments! This one really is a great library, especially for the kind of work I do. Speaking of which, I do have a lot of go to libraries, so it depends on what I'm being asked to make. What kind are style are you wanting to know my go to libraries for? Would be happy to oblige!

      @ that’s really kind of you. Just being curious of what is your go to librairies for scoring TV show/documentary/trailers, just to know what’s your favorite tools 😉 that would help me also to perfect my arsenal or to discover some I don’t know 🙏

    Can I use this with a midi guitar or is it best triggered by a keyboard?

    Also, I do not get the conclusion “unprecedented amount of control” when in fact one needs to play TO the phrases. What am I missing here? I love the sound, but I do sincerely wonder what you mean with “unprecedented control”. Could you elaborate? Thanks for the review.

    • @thesampleist
      @thesampleist  День назад +2

      Cheers Temne! It’s the “glass” controls. Check out how Christian explains it on their video! It’s makes more sense when he does it!

      @@thesampleist So in terms of the sound itself- gotcha. Because when it comes to controlling -as in mastering- what I’m doing with gestures in general is where I feel the library plays me ;-)

    He actually said it’s…. “Everything you need for media composition”!😂😂😂

    • @thesampleist
      @thesampleist  19 часов назад

      "He" certainly did. From a string perspective, if I was to score a tv drama for example, it would be everything I would need. Obviously, other non string instruments too!

  • @GuyVignati

    I think this library is obviously too specific to be considered a complete string library. It’s good for doing some kind of stuff using especially long articulations, but if you want to write in a more traditional way it’s too unpredictable and hasn’t enough articulations.
    Plus what I don’t like about these libraries is this sort of the sensationalism for the product itself, due to the aggressive marketing of the company. I mean it’s still a tool, it’s your writing in the end that matters.

    “Be yourself everyone else is taken.”
    What a joke! Everyone sounds the same because of these kind of libraries. Gestures mean you don’t have to actually do any writing or playing. Great fun but we’re nearing saturation point I think.

    • @thesampleist
      @thesampleist  18 часов назад +1

      If you use gestures properly and they are tempo synced, there’s a lot more to the art of composing than simply playing them and expecting the sound like everybody else

  • @TemmeSikkema
    @TemmeSikkema День назад

    So no need for a legato patch Pete?

    • @thesampleist
      @thesampleist  День назад +1

      Hey Temme! For the work I do, I honestly do not feel the absence of legato. If you must, I guess you can layer in a legato patch from elsewhere where, or even first chairs or solo strings. I absolutely love how these strings behave. Also with the gestures and different articulations like circular bowing, you get that movement in the performances. For me the articulations presented will cover what I want to get done!

    • @TemmeSikkema
      @TemmeSikkema День назад +2

      @@thesampleist Cool, thanks Pete. I’m not really in need of (another) legato patch either, but in order for this to be any sort of “definitive” string library I figured that would be one of the main “negatives” for most people

    So far every video seems to kind of rush through the shorts. Doesn't seem to be a strong point at all which is the first thing I look for.

    Any library that uses baked-in, preset motifs has a very limited shelf life. In only a short time all the variations would have been heard.

    • @thesampleist
      @thesampleist  19 часов назад +1

      That is one element of the library, plenty more going on which is user generated. I have to say though, the gestures are a whole lot of fun to use. Isn't that what all of this is about? Having fun? I love nothing more than working with libraries that put a smile on my face. Glass Strings does just that! Cheers for the comment!

  • @jammypockets606

    It all feels icy.
    It's mostly a baked library with a scandi feel.
    Gestures get limited out of C.
    And as with the previous gestures libraries, it all sounds the same after a week unless you don't use gestures, and then its even more limited with techniques.
    It should only be used as a sketch pad for ideas or for people with limited keyboard or composition skills to get an instant musical buzz.
    It feels like a toy. A very nice toy, but still a toy.

    I really hope Crow Hill Buries Spitfire Audio for what they did to Chris, who simply expressed is own opinion on social media. They caved and booted him. Spitfire is Anti Free Speech. Pathetic. I will NEVER stop being silent about this. Support Crow Hill. Boycott Spitfire Audio
