    Orchestral Tools: Junkie XL Brass—new update for solo horn and horn sections available

    Hey guys, are you still having issues with those crackles? I just realized that I still can hear them when I use Sine within my template in Cubase but not when using Sine in standalone mode. Was just wondering if somebody found a solution for this. Will send OT an email as well to ask if...

    Should I get Berlin Strings, CSS, or Something VSL?

    You can setup shortcuts to deal with the various CSS legato speeds and put them into one macro shortcut (at least in Cubase) so that it deals with all of the different legato speeds at the press of a button. You just play them in at the velocities you want, quantize them to the beat and with...

    This Is Berk(lin Brass) - HTTYD Mockup

    Right? Learned so much from doing this, to see how he spreads the chords around the various instruments or having various rhythms going on at the same time etc etc. Really interesting stuff! That was coincidence dude! But like previously mentioned, really cool to see other´s take on it. That...

    This Is Berk(lin Brass) - HTTYD Mockup

    Bedankt man! Agree with those points when listening back now. I had the feeling that the bassoons stood out sometimes in the original as well, but listening now side by side I agree I went a bit too far :whistling: Will adjust a bit. The choirs in the beginning are @StrezovSampling Wotan and...

    Aaannd yet another HTTYD mockup o_O Took me forever to finish it off between work and kids but would love to get some feedback on this! This one was done using the Omni Music Publishing score. So cool to be able to see John Powell´s writing in such a detail. Thanks!

    Orchestral Tools: Berlin Series on SINE now!

    A grace period sounds very reasonable. Actually wouldn’t mind to pay something of a fee but already paying 80€ more on those 4 libraries if you buy them for Kontakt and then another 10% of the full collection price for an upgrade to SINE, I think is excessive.
