As a non-guitarist, this is definitely intriguing to me.
I think it's because they feel they've already covered their orchestral bases, and are moving onto some more niche products before they revisit any updates.Whoever is doing CineSamples market research is off the mark big time IMO. Last two new releases have been very lackluster - met with tepid responses here. Maybe CS has a huge user base that isn’t represented by Vi-C but I think they should be leaning more into refreshing their tentpole libraries and bringing more things out that are recorded at SONY, which is one of their unique value propositions.
I get the line of thinking, but I fear they may not be going niche enough. Ambient cinematic pads and guitar patterns for film and trailer scoring feel pretty safe when there's a wealth of different rare "ethnic" instruments out there, or even rarely sampled articulations of common orchestral instruments. It feels to me like they're kind of missing the mark here, but that's just my personal opinion of course, I have no idea what the sales numbers on Soundscapes were, or how this new library will land.I think it's because they feel they've already covered their orchestral bases, and are moving onto some more niche products before they revisit any updates.
And yet their orchestral libraries are trailing the big boys in terms of articulations, scripting, and instruments now.I think it's because they feel they've already covered their orchestral bases, and are moving onto some more niche products before they revisit any updates.
Indeed!Seems... expensive?
Spitfire and OT have had a lot of success by offering many different "flavors" of orchestral sections and concepts. How many string libraries has Spitfire released alone?? About 180?I think it's because they feel they've already covered their orchestral bases, and are moving onto some more niche products before they revisit any updates.

That's the thing, I don't think I'll ever buy another guitar library again. None of them truly get it right, and if I need a real player, there's millions of them, all with direct line inputs into their USB interfaces willing to record. I can't think of a more oversaturated market - samples aside.perhaps the orchestral market is oversaturated as it is.
