    Dominus Choir (Fluffy Audio) dynamics knob issue

    I'm just working with a simple controller at the moment, which doesn't seem to have a default cc map registered with Logic X. Most GUIs I've worked with provide a way to adjust each setting by clicking and dragging directly on the GUI, so I was wondering if there is a way to do that for Dominus...

    Dominus Choir (Fluffy Audio) dynamics knob issue

    Hey guys, I'm new to the Dominus Choir library by Fluffy Audio, and I'm having some issues changing the dynamics setting in the GUI. I figured it would be as simple as clicking in the dynamics region and dragging up/down or left/right to change the setting, but nothing seems to be happening. I...

    Course recommendations for beginner composer?

    As I said, there's nothing suspicious about their pricing. You just have to think of it as their face value is actually $12 or $15. It's really a common tactic to list an inflated price along with a "discounted" price to make the value seem more attractive.

    Which String Library For an Intimate Tone?

    I must say both CSSS and Tundra sound great. Although, I do agree Solo Strings gives me exactly the type of sound my ears are craving. The atmosphere from Tundra though...

    Course recommendations for beginner composer?

    One thing to note is that Udemy really is always on "sale." It's a common marketing tactic to have something listed with a high "original" price then offering them at a "discount."

    Which String Library For an Intimate Tone?

    Interesting library indeed. Thanks for the suggestion! Given the strings I currently own, what do you guys think would be more beneficial for me to add between Tundra and a Solo Strings library?

    Which String Library For an Intimate Tone?

    I really like this description, as it perfectly describes my impression towards Tundra. Could you shed any light on why 8dio Violins (presumably Adagio) didn't work out for you?

    Which String Library For an Intimate Tone?

    I was looking into 8dio Violins (Adagio) as well, since they have smaller sections (3 or solo). What was your main issue when using these in an intimate setting?

    Which String Library For an Intimate Tone?

    Yeah this is exactly what had me considering Tundra in the first place (along with the discount :P). I had a sense that it could work due to the softness of Tundra, but as you and others have stated, I was worried the size of the orchestra (I believe the violin section is 38 large) would...

    Which String Library For an Intimate Tone?

    Hmmm... So I may need to reconsider taking the offer on Albion V... How does Cinematic Studio Solo Strings compare to Chris Heins Solo Vioin + Viola? I want to also note that I only have QL spaces and Valhalla reverbs as I didn't want to spend too much on reverbs. Although I am considering...

    Which String Library For an Intimate Tone?

    Do you think the strings would be a bit overwhelming if I were to go with Albion V? I've been considering grabbing it since I have the discount coupon. If I could get somewhat of an intimate vibe with Albion V, I'd rather take advantage of the discount then pick up a Solo Strings library (maybe...

    Which String Library For an Intimate Tone?

    Hey All! I've recently discovered Olafur Arnalds and took a liking to the atmosphere he creates in his pieces. I'm starting to work on a piece that resembles the ambient nature of works by Olafur, and was wondering which library would work best for creating an intimate atmosphere between the...

    Mike Verta: Counterpoint 1

    TBH, I think you'd only find Theory 1 helpful if you have no Music Theory background whatsoever. I'm by no means a music major/minor (I only took basic theory and some composition in college) and I'm pretty much self-taught, but the material covered in Theory 1 was too basic for me. With that...

    Albion v tundra for pop music?

    Nah. I'm just thinking if you were looking for strings to mainly do pop, Spitfire might not be necessary. For pop, I'd think you'd mainly have the strings sit in the background, so you probably just need a library that's good enough?

    I have both and like both. I'd say the Ravenscroft is a bit on the soft side compared to the American in the True Keys bundle. I haven't played around too much with the Italian or the German, but I think the American on its own would be worth it at the price. Can't complain about the playability...
