    There is no one else on RUclips who can bring sample libraries alive like Kevin Kuschel! Developers, take note! Get Kevin to give an overview of your new library, and watch your profits soar! Great job Kevin!

    This is such a great video. It's gonna be the first recommendation I will give someone when they ask me about the differences of the Ark series. I'm very impressed. The explanations of each Ark here are easy to understand and straight to the point, and the editing oh man, it's great. I also really like the fact how you included a great demo for each Ark, they are a very clear example to what they have to offer. Keep up the great work!

    This is a very very great review! It is definitely the best sample review that I've ever watched in RUclips (and I watched so many reviews). The explanation, video editing and the demo tracks are all well done and produced. I can totally see that a lot of effort was put it in this video. The only bad thing about this video is that it made me wants to empty my bank account and buy all of them haha Your channel totally deserves more views and channel! I have subscribed to your channel and will help to spread the word! Thank you!

    How would you compare the choirs in Ark 1 and Ark 5? Just different effects?

    • @KevinKuschel
      @KevinKuschel  2 года назад +1

      Ark 1: Legato with Aahs, sustains, marcatos, some glissandi. Overall sounds a bit more far away.
      Ark 5: Legato with syllables, sustains, pad-like sustains, crescendos (long/medium/short), rips, glissandi and shepard tones. Overall sounds a little bit closer to me but not sure? Ark 5 also has a third mixed choir patch (male + female).
      Ark 5 will do better at supportive textures and swells than 1. Though the legato can also go quite loud.
      Check the product page -> Instruments for both Ark 1 and 5, they have demos for each patch. Hope this helps!

    *_Ark 1 is pure Fortississimo (THE CHOIR). Ark 2 is atmosphere realm. Ark 3 is also Fortississimo but you must be "high-leveled" (Perfect for composing something discordant, lol, for the sake of the theme)._*
    *_Not sure for 4 and 5. 4 sounds similar to 1. 5 is a tool of hope._*
    *_I'm not even sure to save up for Ark 1 since I followed a fellow musician who uses Ark 1 too (I'm rivaled with Oceania 2 and Symphonic Choirs, or 8dio's other tools)._*
