Never trust the living
Just looked it up. Yes, they were all recorded at Air One.Isn't it the same room they used for the Studio series?
I've heard lots of demos with it and I very much like the sound.

I haven't yet spent enough time with the Neo strings to say for certain, but I didn't notice any abrupt breaks. By comparison, the brass has an awful break when the flugelhorn is added to the ensemble for instance. I don't think the winds are feathered per se, but they manage the transition well. The ensemble patches of SCS are generally quite good in this respect as well, thoughHave you and sense of whether Neo give you the same "feathered" feel in its orchestration along the lines of OACE?
Ensemble patches are great for sketching, but in practice you probably don't want all the instruments of all the time just because they happen to be in range.
Wheres when you, for instance, play an ascending melody on OACE the feathered orchestration has a lovely sense of good sections entering slowly - ie not all the violas entering immediately when you hit c2, and so on.
In practice I find it give a much nicer balance that I get with conventional ensemble patches. Which is where I would an ensemble patch in Neo might be more like OACE that SCS.
No, not an Albion, but the metaphor does convey something of the relation of the libraries.I would not characterize BHCT as an Albion. It has individual section ensembles, some of which are very good ie. Trombones, Concert Flutes, Piccolo and Flutes, Mixed Flutes, Timpani, Horns, and others as opposed to a Brass and Woodwind patch. Some of the orchestrated combinations I don’t find as useful IMHO but there is plenty of substance to appreciate in BHCT.
Since we're on the subject of BHCT, It got me wondering how well it would respond to IR's (especially considering the type of space it was recorded in), so I loaded up the flautandos and did a side by side comparison, one with just the tree mic, and one with just the tree mic plus Spaces 2.
Thoughts?

It's the Dortmund Concert Hall A TS FR 3.4s. Out of the box.@Mike Fox , the latter hands down! Which preset did you use with Spaces? I'd like to try it out as well with that + BHCT.
I don't, sorry!Do you also own Waves IR-1 and AltiVerb? If yes I’d love to know your thoughts on AltiVerb compared to IR-1 and Spaces II.
I also like Nr. 2 much more.
But flautandos are not a good test for this purpose; almost anything sounds good on longs. If you try some sparse shorts and listen precisely to what happens in between the notes – you will then hear the room / reflections / tails.
A bit naive...If anyone thinks that putting their music onto this Forum is gonna get them a gig I’d be stunned if that happened. I don’t see anyone self-promoting on this forum. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen unintentionally or intentionally but doesn’t seem to be what this forum is about unlike LinkedIn where one gets bombarded with endless self-promotion.
Bro, do you have anything positive to contribute?A bit naive...
