Interesting! Do you think these might sit in an orchestral template while waiting for Cinematic Woodwinds?
Oh, thank you!Since 8Dio has a bit of a reputation for "overdressing" their demos, and since the instruments are presented here with a geeenerous amount of reverb (except for a few short moments where they actually are raw), and since this product is marketed as "intimate"---
And since I recognize at least two of the demos from brilliant fellow VIC forum members
@DarkestShadow @leogardini (bravo gents)
I wonder if it would be possible to hear those demos naked, i.e. just the woodwinds isolated and with a minimum of processing so that we can see the more intimate side of these instruments? Or, if not those demos, any naked examples of these winds please?
Much obliged! Perhaps bone dry might be too exposed, like one of those concave mirrors that magnifies the pores in your face. I wouldn't ever use a library that exposed.Oh, thank you!
I can post a naked example later with 0 processing and other instruments. It's very dry so get some water before listening! :D Beta version only had close mics.
Same here... but was there ever even an announcement about them coming? Or being in production... :/I'm holding out for Century Winds. But if this is any indication, then I can't wait!!
I just really REALLY want Cinematic Studio Woodwinds to come out

Ah, already did the dry one.Much obliged! Perhaps bone dry might be too exposed, like one of those concave mirrors that magnifies the pores in your face. I wouldn't ever use a library that exposed.
Maybe the best thing would be to have an example that is in room, but just a reasonable amount of treatment to get a realistic intimate performance like it is in a small scoring stage?
I apologize that I'm kind of asking you to do 8Dio's work, but they don't have any presence on the forum.
Now you have my attention...Not in so many words from the 8DIO chat. But I do know they’re working on them. And also makes sense to complete the Century series. They may have used this intimate recording session to piggy back for the ensemble winds of century. I’m speculating if course, but would make financial sense to do that.
They ARE on sale. $100 off reg. price.I think this might be their best in this series just from listening to the demos and walk through vids and DarkestShadow's dry example. Sounds great!
I like their Intimate Studio Strings but that one is more of a niche sound. It won't be your goto for that traditional or even cinematic sounding solo string like Cinesample or CSSS or any of the other solo string libraries but it has a character that can't be duplicated by those others. I wish I could find a review on this I read once on a blog that described these strings perfectly.
My take so far is that whereas the Strings seemed to be more of a niche in sound, these woodwinds seem to be the opposite and therefore likely to be used more often in a template.
One day I'll pull the trigger on these and the brass to complete my collection. Only when on a sale though
Yes they are, but I'm not ready right now. Priorities. This one does have me reconsidering those priorities though.They ARE on sale. $100 off reg. price.
