Lass... This was always on sale and i cannot buy it, cause this library sounds awful...
I dont understand, why Lass was so hyped by so many out there...
I think, the old VSL silent stage libraries are better, than LASs..
So why are you all into Lass. What are the benefits with this ultra dry library.... And why is the legato so awful... I don´t understand the hype for Audio Bro... Look at the Symphony Strings by NI... They are unusable and wow awful... So whats so great with Audio Bro?
PS: Apple M1...please wait for the next generation coming with the mbpro16, Imac and more...
I tested my friends arm Mac and for audio and espically sample libraries... Its not worth it, cause of many reasons...
Well, I can’t speak to taste, how we all hear things is ultimately up to us. I am a long time LASS user. I use them all the time. I don’t even eq them much, I just accept the way they sound. Obviously, modest use of modwheel is the key. This has been discussed to death.
Lass can sound ugly, brash, especially that upper mid range on the violins. But so can the real thing. This is what actually impressed me the most when it came out, finally a library with the guts to give you the tools to make things sounds ‘on the other side of pretty’. It does not always work, it is not always the best choice. But it brings life to the mockup, the cellos are especially great. Ok maybe they have been strongly eq’d, they sound really forward in the midrange, but boy can they punch.
In the right hands, with the right arrangement, this is a libray with the capacity to emote very strongly. This appears to be an Audiobro trait, same as their brass. No training wheels or safety belt, you don’t program them with respect, it will suck. So don’t suck.
Your loss is my gain.
I do hope there is a balance between the rawness of the old, but with some potential for added finess in the new lib. I for one will buy it as a no brainer. As was expressed by a fellow colleague here, my ROI on this lib has been ridiculous, LASS has paid for itself a hundred times over.
Looking forward to the new lib, I’m sure it will be fantastic.
