Sadly the tenor doesnt work...Alien Drum $10: ALIENDRUMXX1214
Tenor - likely expired:
I got it for 20$ and to be honest I'm quite disappointed. Very little of those parts are actually playable as they are mostly effects and quite random to be honest. I wish I didn't get it. It could be nice to give this final touch with one big bam but to have a separate library just for this is worthless for me.
Sorry to hear, but they are indeed effects library for hybrid scoring. Playable they are not nor should they be.
I believe the Soundpaint version would be the Adastra Ensemble strings . You should be able to get a crossgrade pricing, but I think this code (50% off) should still be working for all soundpaint adastra strings (ensemble, chamber and solo). The coupon will only work once.
The Agitato library is “related” to the Anthology series, which in turn have been ported to Soundpaint as Adastra strings. They were recorded in a church IIRC. So Agitato is not a direct ancestor of Adastra so a crossgrade might not apply, but 8Dio Support are usually very kind and helpful so make sure to ask. And maybe that 50% off code for Adastra Bundle I posted downthread still works?
(There are currently no other 8Dio string libraries ported over to Soundapint).

The Soundpaint woodwinds are ports of the original 8Dio Claire library, which I think were not recorded on a soundstage but rather in a studio. Not entirely sure. Maybe their creator @Colin O'Malley can chime in as he has done before in this thread.
Century Brass, another library recorded by O’ Malley, was recorded at Zlin, like the rest of that series and a whole bunch of other 8Dio orchestral libraries.
They can all be used together without any issues, just make sure you create a sense of space (using the mic mix options of each library, in combination with a reverb) that glues the various parts together.
Mixing tip: Sonokinetic have Impulse Responses of Zlin as a free download. I sometimes use those in a convolution reverb when I want to blend in other (drier) non-8Dio libraries with some of the Century stuff.
I am really enjoying the Agitato All Bundle and will look into Adastra Ensemble Strings. Thanks.
Yep really excited! Hope we dont have to wait a long time...
