Stefano is a man who gets his back into his work. Way long after release he is still adding updates and new libraries for this instrument ..how cool is that … this reflects enthusiasm for the product and a great sense of sensitivity in relation to customer satisfaction.🎖🎖🎖
This library is amazing! Omnisphere with the EXP libraries and the incoming SoundPaint are great of course, but this library is Cheap, and so powerful! One of the best buy ever for me!
I use this library with some of Stefano's Ethera Gold Vocal Samples. It seems to never come to an end finding new sounds with these incredible tools. Simply amazing quality and versatility.
Many Thanks for this Review. Just an additional info, keep in mind that the Cello Sound Staccato are tempo synched. So are not a classic "staccato" sound. But are tempo synched with these misures: Half, 4th, 8th, 16th. Thanks Guys. These are the official Tutorials Many Thanks: ruclips.net/p/PLocItwJfp_VqONmRdSFKxrUSwBYH2KxRb
@@rabornjohnson Don't Worry. I know it's a complex Library, and to understand it in deep, needs time. You did a FANTASTIC review. Many Thanks for that.
Unfortunately, I've only used Ethera Gold and Intimate Vocal 5 times since I purchased them in December 2020. It's almost a year and I still haven't fully utilized both libs. Just bought Elements 5 mins ago and I can say that it will help me use the Ethera libs again. I really need to focus writing dramatic underscores in the coming months using these libs.
@@StefanoMaccarelli Thanks for your response! A i7-7700K with 64 GB ram should be more than enough. It is for every other VST I own - and I have a lot of them (like Spitfire Audio, Native Instruments etc). I’m afraid this VST is heavier on the cpu than others. At least, that’s my experience. Using not more than one instance & rendering in place is a viable workaround. A 512 buffer helps indeed, but gives a considerable latency.
@@Larsmannetje66 We are in 2022, and a 4 Core CPU like your, is an old processor ( The Ram in this case it's not a problem) .A lot of users are working in a fantastic way with this library, I've a lot of nice feedbacks about that. Personally, I have a much newer processor than your with 18 cores. And I work at 512 samples. I have no latency issues. I can compose without problems. Working at 256 is really hard for any CPU if you have a big template. I use Elements also on my LapTop that is a I7 6 Core, and I can work without problems ( of course on my Desktop it's better). Also, compare Elements to other libraries such as spitfires is not a good thing; perhaps you have not understood what we talked about. And the engine behind it. With Spitfire, Can you change the sound as in Elements? Can you change the Time ? The formant of the sound? Can you create sounds from scratch? Can you mix 3 layers? At the moment Elements has the MOST powerful engine to manipulate the sound with a Kontakt Library, no many other similar libraries on the market. Also other NI Libraries have a nice and esoteric GUI but the sound possibilities are poor if compared with Elements. Elements is not a simple library to play a sample. So you are in wrong if you make this comparison. I repeat, your system is OLD, and you should consider working at 512 of buffer size. Remember that there is an ELEMENT LITE for the low-performing machine like you. Elements Lie works on my old Mac of 2012 with out any issue.. You have less sound controls...of course. on this version, and is not compatible with the free Exp Presets Like Dunescapes. Then I repeat, set KONTAKT to work with the multicore. And set your system to have a low DPC latency on Windows. I suggest to you to follow me on my RUclips Channel, so maybe you can understand what this library can do. Cheers
@@StefanoMaccarelli In an old system like his, and mine, with an i7 that has just 4 cores and hyperthreading to make it look like 8. Do you recommend to keep the hyperthreading on? or should be better turning it off and let the 4 processors do their best without HT !?
I think it is a very bad idea to integrate graphics in the interface. It looks maybe nice but interrupts processing, and can result in hiccups and distortion

You can do everything with this library 💪

This is the best Zero-G release in a long time...great review!!
So glad to see these guys are still around. I grew up hearing their samples in Silent Hill.
Elements combined with Ethera Intimate Vocal Phrases is jaw dropping gorgeous.
Agreed- love what the developer is doing
This is an outstanding and ispiring Library. Thanks for the Video!
You are welcome T thanks for the comment and support
heard it before release and felt in love emediatly. So I had to bought it on release day.
Awesome thanks for sharing Stephan - we are loving this releae

I didn't remember that, Stefano. So glad you cleared that up!

@@StefanoMaccarelli thanks for all your great sound design work and for sharing it with the composing community!

Amazing Library, and the free Presets EXP pack from Stefano, are super great Value! Just Amazig library. It's a gem,.
can't figure out how to download extra libraries :-(
Jeezuz, this is amazing! 👍👍👍
Is this likely to be in version 14 incantation of the Collectors edition?
What's with those CPU spikes? I saw it flashing from anywhere as low as 6% all the way to 41%, just in the intro alone.
Is that wrong ?
I love Zero G libraries.
And insanely affordable. Makes you wonder what NI charges for the honor of being available in their main browser.
I love the sound, but experience severe cpu spikes (and pops & ticks) with this. Not with other libraries. Any one tips?
Your Cpu is not the best, anyway Use 512 Buffer Size. And Set Kontakt to use the Multi Core.
I don't have ANY Spikes. See my Tutorials Please.

You and Don sound like brothers
Holy sh*t I didn't even realise it wasn't Don!
@@PaulOwenMusic at one point, I thought Don just made up different names
@@CRASS2047 🤣 until proven otherwise, I'm going with this theory.
Nice

The graphics do not create any problems. Set Kontakt to take advantage of all multi cores.
