Cool. No doubt that will happen. I mean, what are the odds...Had a dream last night that someone finally nailed that Max Richter vibe/capability.
Yes. It was a nice one minute “premiere”.Right out of the gate, these are sounding a million times better than Intimate Studio Strings.
They do sound as if they’d blend in nicely with the Century stuff. Now, let’s hope the Century Woodwinds will also get a release. Recently I specifically asked and I received an answer that they at least are on some roadmap or other. Also, wasn’t Century Strings 2.0 scheduled for a Q2 release?Short but sweet. The portamento still feels a bit canned but everything else is really nice.
I don't own any of the Century libraries but Troels posted a video in January stating they would be released in Q2 of this year. If these have louder dynamics then I'd imagine they might also be good 1st chairs, but I have a feeling that's not the intent and they'll stick to the "intimate" string quartet route.They do sound as if they’d blend in nicely with the Century stuff.

True, by the sound of it it is very much intended as such. Does the “Studio” imply a particular dry recording style? 88 articulations sure sounds like a lot though...I don't own any of the Century libraries but Troels posted a video in January stating they would be released in Q2 of this year.

It does seem like 8Dio is looking to improve the quality of their libraries of late. The players they are recording, along with the programming improvements, is making my wallet crawl out of the dark depths of my breeches.
Yes I am in the same boat. The OT one initially got some rave reviews here, but the enthusiasm waned quickly. Now, it may have a totally different price point than this one of course. But I’d rather invest in a library that truly sounds good. I have a lot of strings sounds at my disposal, but that true legato sound is still missing. I’ve been considering the Cinesamples “3 for 50% off” deal (two Tina Guo volumes) and Embertone JB. But I think I’ll wait until later this week to learn more about this one, e.g. sound of other articulations, price point per instrument, release dates for the other three, etc. Then I’ll wait for some actual user reviews as well this timeThe Violin sounds great. Price ? Library Size ?
Oh.. I Just noticed that they will be releasing the rest of the quartet instruments in the coming weeks.
I was thinking about buying the OT-Tablue Solo Strings but so far didn't do it, but this Violin from 8Dio sounds much better, richer timbre, not nasal sounding.
Good points!It sounds great, but I hope "ultra deep sampled" and "88 articulations" are different things.
Wide, seamless dynamics, lots of round robins for both shorts and longs, flexible attacks, releases, transitions and rebowing... that's ultra deep sampled.
88 articulations? Well, ok, but it's a freakin' violin....
Yes, so far that’s the most intriguing part of the teaser: the quality of the vibrato and the tone...I really like how the violin seems to transition into vibrato very naturally.
