Does anyone here have experience with OT Glory Days? I can't seem to find too many in depth reviews on the web, and I'd like to know more before taking the plunge.
I purchased Glory Days about a month ago for some jazzy scores for animation. I was pulled in by the company's reputation and the stunning demos.
I like the wah, shake, etc. effects. I'm quite disappointed by the lack of round robins, the stuck notes and even some VI's that seem to randomly flip between articulations. There is also not a lot of range in the dynamics cross fades. I found that's true of a lot of products from other companies too.
Of all the issues, the one I'm most puzzled about is the lack of round robins. That's so 1999! I think I might have been happier with Mojo but I'm still exploring Glory Days so maybe I'll find more to like.
I'm planning to pick this up on the next sale (reissue on SINE?). I agree that Teldex is just a little too big and verby for this kind of a library, too bad. But judging from the video's, love the agressive playing style. Should work well in Cinematic style also......The room sound is pretty but way too much for jazz. The other downside of the wet recordings is that even the close mics have a lot of room sound. So when I try to use the release setting to shorten the notes, I'm also chopping the reverb!...
