Thanks again so much for taking the time to do a stream about Nucleus today Daniel! So happy that everybody enjoyed the library. Cheers from the Audio Imperia team: Jan, Tomas, and Simon
As someone new to orchestra libraries, I'm more glad every time I open Nucleus (my first full orchestra library) that I pre-ordered at $350. It's definitely competitive above that price, as well, from what I've listened to.
I have watched this video before purchase of this library and while the review itself is great, I cannot stop myself from yelling "Jaaaaan!" each time I have even the slightest issue with it. My name is also Jan, so thank you for that. My wife now thinks I am yelling my own name when I am at my computer :D
One of my favorite Daniel James first looks. Great balance of showing us All the Things; enthusiasm for the product; light comparisons against other libraries; and discussion of weaknesses/gaps. I don't have Nucleus, but I keep eyeing it (and Areia) due to my love of Jaeger. Maybe next sale!
I've been recommending Nucleus before I watched this video. Absolutely correct Daniel, this is definitely worth $449 and certainly puts questions on other libraries that do not give as many instruments and less articulations but with higher prices.
I'm really considering this as a first library for me to get since I have been working with free libraries. This can be a birthday(November)/Christmas gift for myself haha.
Thank you very much Daniel. Ur awesome as always. I had expected the library to be good based on Yaeger but the solo offerings and the woodwinds still managed to surprise
Mate, this sounds excellent! Super helpful as I look for a cinematic orchestra library outside of the Spitfire stuff. Brilliant having one of the developers in the chat as you do this as well
Daniel, I am going to challenge you to write a song that has woodwinds at the center of the piece. That way it is a moment to learn instead of keep saying "I never write anything for woodwinds." Strings can accompany and the song will be 3 1/2 to 4 minutes.
I've been thinking about investing in this library for awhile and I think this stream sold me :) Note: Also what reverb do you usually fall back on? Is it Black Hole?
do the strings from nucleus and jaeger sound pretty much the same right out of the box? like are the sustain strings in jaeger pretty much the same as the sustain strings in nucleus assuming you don't mess with the default mic setting? or do they have a slightly different timbre?
Random this but just curious. The little melodies you’re doing to test out the strings was reminding me of some of the pieces for the anime’s “to your eternity” composed by Ryo Kawasaki and “Vinland saga” composed by Yutaka Yamada. Just curious if you’ve heard them? If not it’d be interesting to get your opinions on them
Awesome stream, definitely tempting me to get the library although I don't need it haha. How do you stream with Cubase? I've noticed that Cubase audio routing can be difficult to work with when other applications are involved (like streaming software)
one of the first modern vsti that actually simulates after-touch, like the old hardware synths used to do. - oh, but adding the same reverb to each sample does make the sounds sort of same-y.
Hmm, if someone has Jaeger, is Nucleus worth getting (I saw that the opposite situation was discussed earlier)? I see that Nucleus has some solo instruments which seems nice, but they seem limited in articulations. Would Nucleus be a worthy complement to Jaeger, or is there a better alternative? Thanks!
Awesome video Daniel! I loved the pads with the solo instruments. I just got Nucleus myself and I'm loving it. Do you find that there aren't enough velocity layers in in the timpani and gran cassa samples?
Hi Daniel, i have a very important Question for me. Do you use a Expression-Pedal in this Video. All your Fingers on the Keyboard, but the Dynamics-Knop is turned.... Thanks a lot for your nice and inspired Music. Perfect
Hi, I think Nucleus Core, Berlin Orchestra Inspire, and Albion One have the same price. Which one is the best, especially Berlin Inspire has single patches, ensemble patches, and percussion which is the same feature as Nucleus?
at this point ... what I think ... is that it should be modified or transformed ... the QUADRICULA ... which is already very old for this same action ... without the use of a score editor
So i'm curious - what is the difference between Nucleus and Jaeger. I mean - if i buy Nucleus - why would i need Jaeger? What is the most obvious benefits of Jaeger? More mic positions, Meredith vocals, more round robins may be, what else?
You'll have more control over the sound with the mic positions. Nucleus comes with two mix mic positions only. So if you're looking for an all-in-one hybrid orchestra Jaeger is a fantastic choice. If you're looking for a your first orchestral library or something that you can use on your travel rig/laptop: Nucleus is a fantastic choice.
@@AudioImperia sounds interesting but if one buys nucleus, is jaeger same sounds but with more mic positions? is there an upgrade path from nucleus to jaeger then? if not what other differences are there on the actual sound?
you could show how to work from a score of a string or wind quartet ... even if it is something short of 20 measures ..... and how to work with the different joints in the DAW ,,, from a sibelius for example .. ..thanks since now .
Seriously considering this one. It sounds expressive and I'm not forced to pay for the full Kontakt version first and deal with the inferior library bloat. More companies need to make packs like this.
@@alexandrebaroni1057 Oh nice. I'm just starting out and currently thinking Nucleus might be the best start but don't know really. Do you know the difference between this and Jaeger? Any suggestions welcome, cheers :)
So how do you install this? I downloaded it and it created a folder but also about 21 samples in .rar files. Am I supposed to extract those to a specific folder then open up my DAW and make sure it’s in there? There’s no real instruction on how to open these up in the DAW or correct way of installing these
You have to put each rar file on a CD and play each CD in your car's stereo while driving at exactly 21mph for 21 hours. A stupid comment gets a stupid reply.
Jet Lag damn that was super insightful and it actually worked! Thanks man! Thanks for your amazing comment. It’s good that you love to help people that have questions. Wish more people would be like you. Also like how you’re tough behind that little keyboard. Basically a tool that nobody likes. Douchebag replies get douchebag replies ;)..keep on being tough behind that keyboard bro lmao
DJ: one point you are doing imho wrong.. you play multiple notes on a patch that already consists of multple instruments. E.g. 2 flutes or 2 oboes patches, when you are pressen two keys, you in essence are hearing not 2 flutes but 4. There is no auto divisi in this library, so it only adds up the amount of audible players. Doing 3 notes will in reality be 6 flutes! not 2. So please, for realism sakes, use the patches as should, only triggering one note, not multiples at the same time. (unless you want multitudes of instruments as given in my examples)
Rogier van Gemert I actually mention this in the video, I say it’s one of the perks. Because even with 12 player playing 3 notes it still sounds great. You probably couldn’t afford that many players in real life but you CAN with samples, meaning you can create sounds you might be financially restricted from trying in the real world. So I don’t think I am doing anything wrong, I am however doing things that might be expensive to translate to real world. My approach is: if it sounds good, it’s good. Don’t needlessly restrict yourself when you have the ability to experiment!!
@@DJLA Thanks for the reply. I thought you where talking about going beyond the range of an instrument, and not that it adds up the amount of players in a real played scenario. But now i see i missunderstood what you said in the video. :-)
Thank you for your talent in demonstrating these incredible sounds, but I have a further comment- The beautiful music you play and the fowl words you speak are like placing barflies on a beautiful cake- please do us all a favor (yourself as well) by respecting the power of uplifting music by using your english appropriately...
@@jetlag1488 I would just put a notice that the video contains swear words and then people can use headphones in case children are present. I agree with peoples right to express themselves. its just that I didn't know it contains swear words and I have young grandchildren so a warning would have been nice. I love the video and Daniel never fails to impress.
Thanks again so much for taking the time to do a stream about Nucleus today Daniel! So happy that everybody enjoyed the library. Cheers from the Audio Imperia team: Jan, Tomas, and Simon
Sounds like a belter, might do a video myself if the Mrs will let me move some funds around haha. Great work peeps

Be honest, you called that product "Nucleus" so that reviewers can claim that it is "the bomb"
Hi...are the strings in Nucleus taken from Jaeger or completely different recordings?
@@jaketanner109 Everything you find in both are the same samples. Afaik this applies to Areia as well.
I record my own violin/cello for my cues but GOOD LORD those solos are on point. Might give it a cheeky buy just for when I'm feeling lazy setting up!
Hey, look who it is! Love your stuff, dude
I have watched this video before purchase of this library and while the review itself is great, I cannot stop myself from yelling "Jaaaaan!" each time I have even the slightest issue with it. My name is also Jan, so thank you for that. My wife now thinks I am yelling my own name when I am at my computer :D
Dammit Jaaaaan, not now 😂
I watched this live stream and just finally bought Nucleus! :D Thanks again Daniel.
One of my favorite Daniel James first looks. Great balance of showing us All the Things; enthusiasm for the product; light comparisons against other libraries; and discussion of weaknesses/gaps. I don't have Nucleus, but I keep eyeing it (and Areia) due to my love of Jaeger. Maybe next sale!
The call back to Medal of Honor: European Assault - one of the best soundtracks that have ever blessed this nation. 1:13:15
Hey man, just had the time to check your video. Great job as always! ... and yes, Nucleus rocks!
Thanks for the time you took to demo this. I made a purchase on the full version because of this!
>Play Lord of the Rings
>I don’t know how to play it
Instantly plays the theme
That’s my boi Daniel
well it's easy to do with such a simple melody
WOW this library is SO GOOD. I can literally get it right now but ima wait one more month :)
Wow...this is fantastic! Comparing this to Spitfire's BBC Orchestra will be interesting.
As daniel said. Great sample library for starters. BBC-SO is a masterpiece for masters in digital scoring.
Jim Rieder how so?
I've been recommending Nucleus before I watched this video. Absolutely correct Daniel, this is definitely worth $449 and certainly puts questions on other libraries that do not give as many instruments and less articulations but with higher prices.

Thanks for all videos and content you put out mate ! So helpful and massively entertaining also !
43:12 check out the Octobass. Its a 3 string bass that goes a whole octave lower than the standard contra bass c. So its C0 at around 16hz...
Thank you very much Daniel. Ur awesome as always. I had expected the library to be good based on Yaeger but the solo offerings and the woodwinds still managed to surprise
Mate, this sounds excellent! Super helpful as I look for a cinematic orchestra library outside of the Spitfire stuff. Brilliant having one of the developers in the chat as you do this as well
So great they included solo instruments! Audio Imperia rocks!!
Man! From second-one in.... BAM! I love your energy, friend!
Daniel, I am going to challenge you to write a song that has woodwinds at the center of the piece. That way it is a moment to learn instead of keep saying "I never write anything for woodwinds." Strings can accompany and the song will be 3 1/2 to 4 minutes.
44:10 Godzilla's heard through the encroaching mist.
This library is an absolute steal
Thanks Daniel! Great video, as usual!
I've been thinking about investing in this library for awhile and I think this stream sold me :)
Note: Also what reverb do you usually fall back on? Is it Black Hole?
It's a Good library yea
Thanks Daniel. What are the advantages of running Kontakt Full vs the Free Kontakt Player with NUCLEUS?
I bought it before the end of the video, just love it!
howd you get money?
@@YoungBlaze working? Its not that expensive.
@@ZombieHorror666 of course you say that while driving around in your new Lambo with your Golden Iphone
Is there any chance that we will get the missing legato articulations on some patches with an update?
do the strings from nucleus and jaeger sound pretty much the same right out of the box? like are the sustain strings in jaeger pretty much the same as the sustain strings in nucleus assuming you don't mess with the default mic setting? or do they have a slightly different timbre?
JAAAAAAN! 😂 Great stream, very entertaining. Product sounds awesome too! Look forward to the next stream.
Jan as in Hay ?
I vaguely remember the “Arrival to Earth” theme being played in a NUCLEUS demo, so I had to hunt down this video. Found it: 40:15
Random this but just curious. The little melodies you’re doing to test out the strings was reminding me of some of the pieces for the anime’s “to your eternity” composed by Ryo Kawasaki and “Vinland saga” composed by Yutaka Yamada.

13:00 beautiful!
The main theme, called "Dogs Of War", from the video game 'Medal Of Honor - European Assault'. By Chrisopher Lennertz.
Amazing. I dig the sound. Thanks Daniel for this great demo. Gonna dig under the sofa now to find some bucks.
Great work Daniel .....Jann! Jaaan!! ..the man with a plan!!!
Nucleus Lite is already a complete no brainer for a beginner, and this is a no brainer upgrade down the line
Great video! How would you compare Nucleus against Albion One? I'm looking to invest in one but not sure which one to go for! Thanks :)
Awesome stream, definitely tempting me to get the library although I don't need it haha. How do you stream with Cubase? I've noticed that Cubase audio routing can be difficult to work with when other applications are involved (like streaming software)
Fancy seeing you here, Timothy!

Nice line from the planets in the oboe... :)

I see that Nucleus has some solo instruments which seems nice, but they seem limited in articulations. Would Nucleus be a worthy complement to Jaeger, or is there a better alternative? Thanks!
Audio Imperia is doing a good job. (important to be Kontakt Player)
Awesome video Daniel! I loved the pads with the solo instruments. I just got Nucleus myself and I'm loving it. Do you find that there aren't enough velocity layers in in the timpani and gran cassa samples?
Love the sound of Audio imperia, I have 8Dio and enjoy the sound of that too, could they be mixed?
I love your overviews! Let's see what's up! ;)
28:34 Risin' up, back on the street...
Hi Daniel, i have a very important Question for me. Do you use a Expression-Pedal in this Video. All your Fingers on the Keyboard, but the Dynamics-Knop is turned.... Thanks a lot for your nice and inspired Music. Perfect
He has a controller with faders placed underneath the MIDI keyboard that he controls with his thumb.
Hi, I think Nucleus Core, Berlin Orchestra Inspire, and Albion One have the same price. Which one is the best, especially Berlin Inspire has single patches, ensemble patches, and percussion which is the same feature as Nucleus?
Daniel - I can't feel my arse cheeks.....YAAAAANNN!
Jan - Noted
SilhouetteDemon hahahahaha
Will there be Jaeger extensions ? I think.... This year ??? Thanks. Great library.
Awesome, Daniel could u compare the Nucleus brass with cinebrass etc.? that would be awesome.
Definitely have nucleus on my wish list!
This.. this is magical. I loved this so much. Great job man - does this work in Ableton?
Horns are epic
at this point ... what I think ... is that it should be modified or transformed ... the QUADRICULA ... which is already very old for this same action ... without the use of a score editor
I spotted the 5:15 reference to Sayuri's theme from Memoirs of a Geisha. Intentional or not?
2:24:20 that would work for the red wedding
So i'm curious - what is the difference between Nucleus and Jaeger. I mean - if i buy Nucleus - why would i need Jaeger? What is the most obvious benefits of Jaeger? More mic positions, Meredith vocals, more round robins may be, what else?

Thank You! 👍 And german the language can be spoken softly too 😉
Thanks for the test daniel
Did they ever add the ADSR to the interface?
well done

Seriously considering this one. It sounds expressive and I'm not forced to pay for the full Kontakt version first and deal with the inferior library bloat. More companies need to make packs like this.
What your suggestion? Get this Nucleus or start to collection the Cinematic Studio Series!
Did you buy anything yet? Still deciding?
@@TomHelps I Got CCS. All. In fact I havo other libraries. But for more complete orchestra and beginners, Nucleus is the way to go.
@@alexandrebaroni1057 Oh nice. I'm just starting out and currently thinking Nucleus might be the best start but don't know really. Do you know the difference between this and Jaeger? Any suggestions welcome, cheers :)
@@TomHelps Go to Nucleus. It´s the best workflow and have all that you need, including choirs
Can you shar you cubase temples with etc and everything loaded??
Daniel, is there reverb on the strings or is that the room sound? Seems like a lot.
There is reverb on it - the room should be as dry as in Jaeger. It's the same room and for many instruments the same samples.
1:18:10 Solid Snake would be proud!
i didn t get how I can change the fixed key range of instruments....
wow awesome..
So how do you install this? I downloaded it and it created a folder but also about 21 samples in .rar files.

Hey Daniel what kind of sequencer are you using?
S M Cubase 10
THAT JOKER NEVER REPLIES HE IS AN ARROGANT ASS !! :D
2:10:44 ... goosebumps. everytime. :D it's the sound of a easier time in live
So good. However, I just bought my first orchestral/choir from EastWest, It was 50% for labor day.
Yo... you played Jurassic Park... I'm in love already.
thanks mate !! awesome as usual !
Cool! Been wondering about this one!
How would you compare this to Ark 1?
Am I missing something or do these libraries all sound a bit dead... Or am I expecting too much.
those french horn players must be circular breathing to play that part. LOL
1:43:13 so funny as a german xD
I Got it for $179 cross grade from the Lite version
"I like writting in D...", I see what you did there,sir
strings sound very hyped and synthetic...like Hyperion Strings do. Not for me...but best of luck with the library.
Make sure you try the Classic Mix!!!

A big lack of articulations...
Very good sounding tho
