AHi all,
Currently, I'm using Steinberg Iconica for its ease of use and I'm thinking about graduating to a better sounding orchestral library (Iconica is great but is somewhat limited.)
I'm looking at the Spitfire Symphonic Orchestra with the Chamber Strings instead of the Symphonic ones.
How coherent are the libs between each other? Typically, when I set a CC1 of say, 80, on the violins in Iconica, I know it will play with a mezzoforte dynamic. The same value of 80 on the horns will also be mezzoforte. Is this the case with SSO?
I like the instant gratification of using Iconica as everything is recorded in the same hall, has the same programming across the board, etc.
Thanks!
EDIT: I'm not stellar at composing, I've been at it for less than a year, but here's an example of a track I've done with Iconica:
As there are no SSO trial, I'm also wondering if I'd achieve a much better sounding result. For the price of the lib, I would not like getting the same result (or worse!)
