What's new

Out Now: Nucleus - The Orchestral Core (MusicTech Excellence Award 10/10)

I'm so tempted, but the Spitfire Announcement is around the corner, Orchestral Tools will be releasing their new player/shop at some point this year, and Cinematic Studio Woodwinds are expected later this year too... I just don't know if I need Nucleus, or just want it for it's ease of use, wish there are more demos and reviews of it already

Although Orchestral Tools' products are excellent, they are optimized for performance and energy efficiency. I hope to be like Performance Samples.
 
Performance Samples products are amazingly playable :) (y)
I'm thinking about doing the cross-grade deal from Jaegar(surely tempted to get Nucleus)
But i hope this is not just another basic library with good packaging and amazing sounding demos done by pros !
 
Since intro price starts at September 6th, I'd assume that's when it will be available.
Edit: I was wrong as stated below.

I'm tempted but will resist this time.
As a lightweight package, I already have BO1+2 and I won't pass on Genesis via NI this month.
I also have the chance to get LAMP for 50% off (including EDU discount) which is highly tempting and then there will be Spitfire's new thing on August 28th... I need three more jobs :/

I'm still unclear on the samples... Are they the same as Jaeger for the overlapping sections or new recordings? It would seem that they are the same as there're still no legato for violas and basses.

Was a few pages back:

Content-wise, we did quite a few new recording sessions to really make this a complete product. This newly recorded material includes additional Strings (Pizzicato, Soloists), all-new Woodwinds, additional Brass (Soloists), a significant amount of new Percussion (Timpani, Xylophone, Marimba, Glockenspiel), an all-new choir, and then we also added all-new sound design just to round it off.
 
As a Jaeger owner I've decided crossgrading to what is supposed to be a 'lesser' product (!?) with only essentials doesn't make much sense. Sure, there are now woodwinds and some solo instruments, but the amount of articulations is limited. An expansion to Jaeger is what I want, so I might be skipping this. Nucleus looks like a great option for those who have no library yet though.
 
Will there be any walkthrough videos posted before launch?
Very intrigued by this but would like to see a more in depth video on it before I take the plunge.
 
Pretty cool sounds and great demos so far. I really enjoyed them. Man if I would start of know again without having any libraries, that would definitely be very high on my list.
 
Just picked it up. I believe it will be a good addition for my travel pack.
I hope I don't forget by the 8th that I bought this. :grin:
