Hmm. I'm just starting out so I don't have even a percentage of what I've seen in this topic, but I guess for me it'd be something like:
Red Room Audio Palette
Damage
Symphony Series Essentials: Brass, Strings and Woodwinds
you are in an advantageous position to add libraries judiciously from the wealth of experience on vi-c.
you can do a lot with what you have.
welcome!
it's a great group here, everyone is so willing to help.
Oh yes, I really love it here ^^. It's very motivating and I'm learning a lot, even if the last week has been more about learning to navigate the treacherous waters of plugin sales .
I do find myself having come down with this strange infection that makes me want to ignore my budget constraints and just get things like Novo and Forzo, even though I won't be needing anything of the sort for at least the next 6 months. Strange, that. May need to get that looked at.
Don't have USE, but they sound stunning... very Eastern European!It wouldn't really add anything to your palette if you already have Berlin Strings and CSS.
I utilize USE as a bread and butter library, layering CSSS on top for more expressiveness.
Auddict USE is a criminally underrated collection of strings samples.
The Fluffy audio woodwinds sound great,richCSS Strings or Hollywood Strings, depends on which day you ask me
Hollywood Brass
Fluffy Audio Woodwinds
True Strike Percussion
Embertone Walker D
And because I must also have at least one synth that can also do choir, Omnisphere 2.
I did a quick noodle through the Legato, Sautille and Pizzicato articulations here.
Legato: V1/V2 in octaves, Vla/Celli/Basses tutti.
Sautille: Tutti
Pizzicato: Tutti
This is unquantized, the shorts are ridiculously tight so any lagging
behind that you may hear stems from my poor keyboard skills.
No modwheel action, all of the articulations utilize the softest dynamic layer.
This is using the Outrigger mics, my favourite out of all the microphone positions.
There's a splosh of ValhallaRoom added, the Outriggers are actually quite dry.

It might be a fun exercise to randomly pick five VIs and see what you make with them.Just realized that I would need different 5 libraries for every new project.
This might be a fun exercise for the New Year - randomly pick 5 a month and make something with just the five.It might be a fun exercise to randomly pick five VIs and see what you make with them.

I’d say there’s plenty you can do with 5 string libraries, as long as they have plenty of articulations and FXThis might be a fun exercise for the New Year - randomly pick 5 a month and make something with just the five.
Probably need to categorize them first. It will be hard to make something with five string libraries
This is true, though I would like some percussion.I’d say there’s plenty you can do with 5 string libraries, as long as they have plenty of articulations and FX
Is anybody else looking at most of the lists and thinking "nice combo - I could work with that"? Fact is that there are so many high quality libraries out there now. It's like Mozart choosing his wigs in Amadeus; why don't I have three heads?
