I don't even own a DAW, I'm just a troll.
It's a moving target and IMO, in part, it depends on what string library you were working with immediately prior to auditioning the next one.
Here's an example:
NI Symphony Series --> Albion ONE = Yuck. These Albion strings sounds like a synth.
Albion ONE --> NI Symphony Series = My god. These NI strings sound thin and raw. Yuck.
The ear likes to fool us. FWIT, I like the sound of both Albions. There's also the pack mentality of VI control influencing our opinions. Read enough posts exclaiming that the strings "sound like a synth" and you'll start to "hear' it too.![]()
He's right imo.
