no argument with that!Not if the product was spectacular, they wouldn't.

Agreed. Its a lot of money. I need to see far more walkthroughs and videos and hear many more demos before im parting with $599.
I was burnt badly by Synchron Strings, and i'm not letting a company do that to me again.
It still surprises me that more sample companies don't do demos or free trials (ie maybe just some articulations with limited ranges etc).
I agree that they should do more demos, however, Audiobro doesn't have a track record of providing detailed demos and walk through videos. I spent countless hours, weeks, ok actually months trying to decide on LASS because I did not want to part with $1k without being sure. The info provided by Audiobro IMO was too lackluster to make a decision so I turned to user compositions on soundcloud and various user forums to decide.
New “Closer Look at Horns” video is up. Scroll down a bit on webpage:
"In this video we'll take a closer look at the horns in Modern Scoring Brass. We'll look at unmuted, muted, and stopped horns and provide numerous isolated examples so you can hear how they will sound right out-of-the-box."

Touché sir. Very good. Thanks for clarifying. I took it to mean that ppp was at 30-40, but now I understand, the lowest layer just isn’t there. Cheers.its just not that low of a dynamic - brass tone changes dramatically from pp to ff - it's not just a matter of volume. I don't think I need to explain the irony of your user name asking me that.
But to clarify:
you can reduce the volume of a horn playing at fortissimo all you want, it'll never sound like pianissimo
you can increase the volume of a horn playing at pianissimo all you want, it'll never sound like fortissimo
CSB has absolutely stunning crossfades of the higher dynamics - but very little ACTUAL low dynamics to work with, sounds dull and low volume - rather than golden and mellow.
I’ve only been here a few months, but this makes me feel very integrated, so thanks. Turns out I was confused whether they had recorded the softest layer of dynamics or not in addition to an extra fade out, but you know what, I’ll just let the username irony stand this time haha. Cheers!Nigel : You’re on 30 on your CC1, where can you go from there? Where?
Marty: I don’t know.
Nigel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty: Put it down to zero.
Nigel: Zero. Exactly. Even softer.
Marty: Why don’t you just make 30 louder and make 0 be the smallest value and make that a little softer?
Nigel: (pause) These go to 30.

No no I thought it was perfect!Ahah, please don't take this the wrong way, it's just your username made the whole thing very funny Cheers !

Having heard the horn walkthrough I took the plunge this morning. Downloaded the entire 160gb library hassle-free in under 2 hours.
I'm pretty gobsmacked. The range and depth is phenomenal, and the tone almost entirely throughout sounds gorgeous. I think the one thing I didn't like in the demos was the trumpets when played divisi at high dynamics, for me this is where that metallic thing comes in, or perhaps a better description is too flat. I find adding vibrato pretty much does the trick to just get some movement going in there and get rid of that oddly sterile tone. For me it doesn't seem to apply to the other instruments (and the vibrato, by the way, works FAR better than I feared it would).
I've posted about a dozen short audio clips of some first impressions of the different instruments over on The Sound Board, playing the legato / longs patches. In time I'll do a proper video walkthrough or two which I'll post here, but I'll leave that til I've properly got my head round all the options. It's a busy few weeks so bear with me!
But in short... I've grown an extra arm just to give this three thumbs up. Can't believe its only $599, bargain of the year IMO.

understood ,driscollmusick mentioned he didnt have the manual , just pointing the way ,post not ment for non owners (no mal intent)That doesn't help much if you don't own the library but you want to learn more about its capabilities.
