Composer Anne-Kathrin Dern discussing Strings Libraries

Kony said:
Just wanted to also say thank you to @A.Dern for the YouTube videos - even though they cover some of the ground I'm familiar with, there are also some very useful additional tips - so I've enjoyed watching these, although you look cold in the latest videos, as if the heating has broken in your studio?

Ha, I can't run my heater while I record videos because it's too loud. But it does get quite cold here in LA at night since it's a desert and I'm also close to the Pacific Ocean.

Hi,

I found this Youtube video by Composer Anne-Kathrin Dern very helpful, and interesting. She is discussing Strings Sample Libraries in Part 4 of her series on Sample Libraries. Hope this is useful.

Cheers,

I know she is accomplished, but a little more humility would serve her well. "Just dump the other libraries you have been using" is not something it would ever even occur to me to say, even if I were far more successful than she is.

Does she actually say that?

I didn't watch the whole video but the sense I got is more like "these are the libraries that work for me".

She actually says that after taking about Cinematic Strings 2 and Cinematic Studio Strings.
 
How dare I make a tongue-in-cheek joke in my videos. Please cancel me for I lack humility. Seriously, I don't know why this needs to be said but obviously don't throw away your $5k worth of string libraries because I said so in a joke.
 
Thanks so much for making these videos. I find them loaded with useful information, and a wonderfully refreshing point of view.
I love the anecdote about how R2D2 got his name.

Thanks again,

Jim

Maybe a little less trigger happiness and preachy-ness would serve some people well, regardless of level of accomplishment or success?
 
Oh, come on! Somebody invests hours to create not just one helpful video in their spare time to help others and then gets "burned" for something like this?

I am dumping my shit regularly off hard drives, because why should I waste space for libs I don't use anymore? Even IF I would still need them again, it is not that they disappeared in a black hole. Nowadays you can download a 60 GB lib in 15 mins.

Eat this humility: I recently sold a Prophet 12 and a Matrixbrute because it was collecting dust! Ou Am Gee.

Well I've already dumped them because you quite clearly told me to, THANKS FOR NOTHING! :mad:

I also watched a youtube video recently where someone said 'shit the bed'. I'm starting to have trust issues with everything I watch on the internet.

Maybe I am dense, or it is a cultural difference but it wasn't obvious to me you were joking.
 
Late to this party, but thanks Anne for sharing your story and advice (and a lot of common sense!). Really enjoyed your Fearless video btw, go girl :thumbsup:!

It's too late - I've deleted all of my string libraries now because I took you seriously (and I can't think for myself). If only you had shown some humility!

I think it was obvious to just about everyone.

Whether it's obvious is irrelevant, though, because the bigger question is (as I've asked too many times before), do you really, really, reeeeeally have to say every judgmental thing that comes into your head? I mean ... other than to annoy literally everyone else in the thread, what's the purpose? Can you show me any value in that post? Or do you just enjoy taking jabs?

Maybe just let people enjoy themselves without your judgements of whether *they* need to improve themselves, whether it be "humility" or whatever else you've anointed yourself to be the judge of. Doctor heel thyself, as it were.

Pot, meet kettle. And it would be nice if once in a while you held others to the standards you hold me to. Others do it far more than me without a word from you.
