Hi all! I tried to make a more or less fair comparison. First one trumpet. first a loud passage then a quiet one 1 is Tom hokelborg's brass. 2 is afflatus brass. 3 is cinematic studio brass. no verb on the instruments, mics as they load, added seventh heaven large hall verb at -7db aprox...

@StrezovSampling I missed the live cause of a deadline, so couldn't get my question there. I already purchased the library, but I am curious...how do you thing the negative delay can be managed in this library? i saw you have some patches that have longs and shorts. I'd love to use the KS...

Oh man....Just finished building the new template using OT Tom hokelborgs Brass, which I was liking quite a bit lately, and substituted CSB for me, even though I dont do that much of the big epic it seems to be more intended to. My question, since I use afflatus strings a lot in my template...

so, it seems like nobody has this issue :emoji_grin::emoji_grin:

Hi again! I use a combination of pre-made exp maps and some custom, I think I see most of them use direction, and have latch activated. Thanks very much for your input!

Hi all! I've been searching in the forum but couldn't find anything related. It's something I've been living with, but it's pretty annoying. I have many expression maps on my cubase template for many libraries (BBC, CSB, CSS, etc...), so not all kontakt related, and the expression maps many...

Afflatus saved the day on many scores of my own already. Don't say too loud, though o_O

they lost me a couple of super mega sul tastos ago...

Thanks very much! but in a big template you can’t go track by track reseting the articulations every time you playback... It’s not a small issue for me, I usually work on tight deadlines, and printing demos with wrong articulations, cause I dont even check the prints usually since it’s all...

so...really nobody??

Hi all! Tried searching for this, but couldn't find anybody with this issue through the forum. I'm on cubase 10.5 , latest BBCSO plugin. I'm liking some of the instruments in the plugin, but I find it unusable just because when using the expression maps that come from their own template...

Oh, great, thank you very much! Will do! So, in general seems you people are pretty happy with the performance.

Hi all! Jumped off the thread some months ago, got to work on some tvshows and used my older template without BBCSO. These weeks I got some time to redo the template, and after setting everything out...I get so many clicks and pops is pretty unusable. Have the latest version of the plugin...

Or anybbody that could recommend somebody?? thanks!!

Hi all!! I am, as many of you, a film composer. Have a studio 32 core theoretically monster pc , and a nice laptop, and getting lots of click and pop problems on both machines. I know all the basics, ran latencymon and stuff, and can't still find the issues that might be going on. Not sure if...

ok thanks!

nobody?? Thanks again!

Hi all!! I'm sure many of you will know about a quick way around this. I'm a film composer, been using midi CCS, libraries, etc... forever, on cubase. But when I need to automate a lane for reverb send, or a group volume, for example, I always do it with the mouse, since I don't really do it...

hi! just a quick one...I'm getting lots of clicks while playing JXL. I'm on a 7960x 32core machine with 128gb RAM, Antelope interface, windows10, Cubase 9.5. Kontakt runs obviously smooth, but getting lots of clicks on the sine player (once everything is loaded, obviously). Seems fine when I go...

Yes, please! I am not judging at all composition, musicianship, etc...! Just talking about midi sounding midish! It's very easy to critizise when you don't do it yourself. In return I'll try to do something with it when I get it and get smashed in the forum. :grin: Glad you are still...

were the brass players asleep when somebody asked for fff in those sessions?? Can't understand...

I can't understand...were brass players in those sessions asleep when somebody asked for fff?? a coherent pppp experience I believe :)

it's the best one yes...but still a lot of blocky midi fanfare thing, no nice transitions, very detached and not a great legato in my opinion. I mean...it sounds nice but doesn't leave much the realm of midi mockup, for me. I do a lot of medium budget movies (supersmall for LA standards, of...

I must say...I preordered cause the long walkthrough seemed good to me, but....guys, listening to those demos is making me have lots of 2nd thoughts about if it was really worth it. I do have hollywood brass, CSB, BBCSO (even though I'm about to erase the entire brass of that one)...I guess to...

something's wrong with that Harp Tom :) you got the Debussy chord right, though :2thumbs:

Yes! Must say, was impressed you quite nailed it at the first try. Must admit, after listening later I guess it was not as hard as I thought it would be, but anyway, good ears guys!. Will do a harder one next time. The truth was... 1 CSB 2 Cinebrass 3 Real 4 BBC 5 Eastwest Hollywood Brass...

Hi all. I know all you nerds out there are gonna love this one. Pretty simple. 5 small excerpts from the famous Jurassic Park French Horn intro. A B C D E . Each of them contains 2 phrases. One of them is Cinebrass, one BBC Spitfire, one Cinematic Studio Brass, one Eastwest Hollywood Brass and...

This is kind something that I saw everybody would do while working at remote control. You get used to writing cc11 with one finger and cc1 with the other. That's cause you usually want more dynamic change that what cc1 will provide, so combining both you can reach the soft and louder parts...

woodwinds?? Come on... "winds are for girls" :grin::grin:

not that I can see. They are only plucked one shot samples. release trigger just after note on.

well, what they call c-1 is totally c-2 in cubase. A bit of a shame, because no way to play from the keyboard then. Yes, can be changed, but manually from each instrument for all the articulations??

I'm a bit dissapointed, must say. I was hoping for something that would help me get rid of many other kontakt libraries, but doesn't look like. No sustain pedal control or something on harp or celesta?? come on, they are just one shot samples!! yes, you have damped samples, but no way to truly...

Doesn't seem so. I guess I'll continue with Afflatus for moving chords and things that need polyphonic legato, but for the rest this seems pretty awesome. Hope to trash a lot of kontakt stuff after this!

Wow, it's sounding really beautiful! Just had a question, seems a bit confusing to me, when he talks about controlling vibrato...but it seems more like just the traditional dynamics with some extra vibrato when you push it up, not a real vibrato control, am I wrong? Later Paul plays flutes a3...

Thanks very much!. How stupid, looked everywhere and not in the actual documentation folder for the manual. Seems to be working fine now, even though I do get some bugs every once in a while where the legato on/off won't switch properly or the short notes will go to sfz instead of my repetitions...

Hi all!. I am working on a new template including CSB, and I'm finding some trouble setting my expression maps on cubase to work with it. First of all, could maybe @Alex W help us providing where the different articulations and options are mapped in the cc58 ? They don't seem to be the same...

Orchestral tools symphonic Harps is in another league for me! Just trashed all my other harps. Even though they might not have sales and is not cheap...

just bought it and can only say...WOW!. Finally might get rid of Hollywood brass (and no other library till now made me think of that yet) Just one stupid thing...why is the bass trombone transposed an octave comparing to the tenor bones??

I've been using sphere for a long time, but symphonic harps is a whole other level. Sphere is really nice but has a lot of hiss in quiet passages. The newer one is simply amazing in all levels.

Sure, will go with that then, thanks!

Thanks again!. Really valuable info here. You are spot on, @Sami , I don't want a beast, and my years of geeg computer went past a decade ago. I want a machine that will be reliable, that won't limit me when I got a bi crazy on a cue with VIs, and that will last for a while. With that in mind, I...

Wow! Thanks very much @Pictus !!. That was really useful. I am just a bit hesitant cause this would be a not super expensive build that seems pretty powerful, just so bad that I only get 4 slots for ram. I guess I can still use my i7 5820k with 8x8GB of ram as a VEP server, and 4x16 on this new...

Ok, so I guess I'll return my 1950x threadripper I got for a good deal, and go for a 9900k. Just worried to get now 64gb of ram and to have to get rid of them by when 128 are affordable, since it's only got 4 slots. Any advice on what motherboard?. And what ram and cooler would you get?? Thanks...

ok, thanks very much! but still, I don't see cheap 32gb ram dimms, so it'll be pretty expensive to get 128gb on these 1151 machines, but if you think they are really so much better I'd go with 64gigs of ram for the moment, I believe.

Thanks very much to all of you!. So, why are you recommending 1151socket chips instead of 2011 chips, if they don't allow me to have 128gb of ram and the 2011s do? @Sami , @Pictus , @oivind_rosvold

Yes, as I said, I use VEP also on my main machine, but am also retaining myself a bit to not load tons of stuff to avoid problems. I'd like to have a machine that allows me to work fast and put much more stuff without worrying too much.

Hi all!. I came to look for a bit of advice, a bit lost on what's out and what works well now for Cubase / VEP setup for filmscoring. I've been jumping around the forums, so I would not repeat a lot of answered things, and still have some clear doubts. I have an i7 5820k around 3 years old...

Absolutely, I hope scoring remains the fun and final step of our jobs as much as possible! :)

I did around 20 movies and tvshows this year, and approx. Half of them with real orchestra. It’s a different thing, I’m not questioning the musicianship and what real guys can bring to a production, but, in modern scoring, between the electronic stuff, the hans-like music that doesn’t really...

purchased a couple of days ago... I'm sorry to say I'm about to throw away most of what's on my template. This sounds amazing, it's really easy to use, and can cover most anything I need on strings. People say they miss stuff...Come on, you've got almost every "normal" thing strings do, and in...

Just a couple questions for the ones who pulled the trigger :) Can anybody say how does it deal with the delayed legato response? I mean...can we quantize and just delay the whole track and the begginings and mid-legato sections will sound more or less on place?. CSS and the rest will have a...

i do create my own!. Mainly in longer tv projects where I’ll use things consistently and will b much quicker to build a simple kontakt than to re record every time. Have also done it with longs, pizz and spic for string orchestra to help “glue” edits on a tv show where we recorded the music...

c'mon!. People already complaining...It seems to me it's got a ton of options and they tried to cover lots of ground. I'm all after being friendly and quick, my young years of nerd programming went past some time ago...and seems this can get decent results without loosing an afternoon...

Thanks all for your time!, there are some interesting options, I'll explore and give some feedback if I find some better solutions!!

yes, that's my idea, even though I'd run into note on/off problems on repeating notes in a melody...thanks all for your time!.

Thanks very much George. yes, I know, and use it all the time!. But, as I stated, the problem is that legato libraries have delay in the legato transition, but usually not in the first note of the melody, so the setting is less useful. We'd need to program something like a macro that detects...

sometimes...yes...15 mins a day. Won't say out loud though. And probably not my best music...but yes. That's why the workflow becomes crucial.

Thanks everybody for your responses!. Of course I know doing versions is possible, but won't work for me. We sometimes write a feature in 3 days, and the orchestrator will do the parts in 1 or 2 days. It's a small team, we work very closely and make life easy to each other. It takes me no time...

Thanks very much!. I used to do that, but we don't have time to deal with several versions, and with the customization of software possible nowadays I don't see the need for it.

Hi all! I've got a couple of small issues that I'm sure some of you guys have solved well. I'm on cubase 9.5, btw. I found myself using very different approaches when I know I'm gonna record live than when I need to do a realistic mockup that will stay. Anyway, lately I have to try to achieve...
