This library is genius. If only because when I do this style of music for a film, my sounds are too perfect. Orchestral Tools, Cinesamples, Spitfire, Project Sam, they all have the same instruments that sound too perfect for this genre. This library gets that tone that you need, even though some of the legatos and the playability could be improved. But the idea of taking Morricone’s instrumentation and using it for other genres is also intriguing. A guy shouting “Yip!” From the back of the room? Who thinks of that? But with his writing it works well, like percussive chirps at just the right time.
I like the songs you wrote for this, very cool (Although I would add more reverb to a few things to nail the style of mixing). But what’s missing from this video is your list of pros and cons. It’s what I really like in your videos and it gives them a tag of “here’s what I liked and didn’t like, and here is why”. This is what sets your videos apart from others, like SLR, that tend to show off the library, say “oh, yeah, it’s great” because they know the developer and are trying to help them. Rather than thinking “If I had limited spending money would I spend the $200 for this?”
For this I would, if. I had it, which I don’t. Which is too bad. They are a few instruments I wish were better. The trumpet (although the piccolo trumpet is the perfect tone) sounds good but doesn’t seem to play as well as others I have. The electric guitar also doesn’t seem to play great, but I have a lot of choices with other libraries. Most of the woodwinds, voices, acoustic guitars, and drums seem spot on and would be for me my gotos for those times I want to add a Morricone touch to any film soundtrack.
I also know Paoling is one of those developers that will improve any issues over time, which will make it a killer library. He has nailed the tone in the samples, which is really the hard part to imitate any other way.
