Bernard Hermann Composer Toolkit.Sorry - What is BHCT?
I deleted it from my System. Never liked using it, not my kind of library. Actually, I dislike using this type of libraries. One of the worst purchases I have made. Others seem to like it a lot.I don't own it, but it seems to be highly respected. I don't doubt it. It seems like a very well crafted kit, just not my kinda thing.
Damn, shots fired.I deleted it from my System. Never liked using it, not my kind of library. Actually, I dislike using this type of libraries. One of the worst purchases I have made. Others seem to like it a lot.
Go figure.
What is your top favs that kept you from buying today?I bought nothing (again), I'm very happy with my existing libraries.
I understand Spitfire Studio Orchestra (pro) goes well with it. I believe they are recorded in the same room. It is recommended to get the pro version because of the extra mic options.Damn, shots fired.
BHCT was the biggest spitfire purchase I made, and while the sound is nice on its own, it is difficult to use in place of individual string/wind/brass sections (Though the ensemble brass combinations are pretty cool). I might try to use it for better mixing or if I'm going for a very specific vibe but, when trying to learn orchestration nothing can really beat having individual sections.
I'm surprised, but the studio is complaining unless I set the buffer to 256, then it seems to play nicely.That won’t even touch a Mac Studio lol
Actually, I’m pleasantly surprised by what I’m hearing in Pro. No the extra mics don’t make the brass shorts any snappier, assertive or less round/flubby, but it does get rid of all the muddy buildup I hate in mix 1.Oh but I loved Core too, so don’t get your hopes up! I think Pro is a different ballgame IF you like Core. Probably not otherwise.
It actually would've been a pretty good deal. Whatever you get is substracted from later purchases towards competing the set. It's how I'm collecting them piecemeal whenever I have some cash left over.Shame as we would have liked to have got the Studio bundle at 50% off but they do not include bundles (always forget that in their sales) and made little sense only getting one for the sake of using the offer and having to choose .. woods/brass/strings? ... not even sure we can ask for Edu 50% on a bundle neither as I think they only do seperate products. Ah well we want to save up for Komplete Ultimate upgrade for next year anyhow.
If you don't mind me asking what other percussion libs do you have and how do they compare? I've considered Spitfire Percussion many times but then I always think I must already have percussion mainly covered via CinePerc and HZ Percussion and BBCSO...I bought Spitfire Percussion. It sounds really good so I’m surprised it’s not mentioned more often!
Originals were not included in the sale?I ended up buying a couple of the originals, the Cimbalom and Firewood Piano. At this low price point it's hard to resist.
As soon as I fired up Firewood Piano, I found it has the same issue as most other Originals pianos (except for Mrs Mills), ie. weak/soft 5th and 6th octaves (compared to 4th being the middle octave) at the higher velocity setting. Who does Spitfire insist on making piano libraries that are consistently weak in the treble register, where the melodi is? Having consistent dynamics/loudness across the keyboard is such a basic feature for a piano library, and other sample library companies are consistently able to get this right, but not SA. Plain stubbornness, I guess.
The problem is if you play these libraries at the higher velocity layer, your left hand accompaniment will drown out the melodi in your right hand. It's such a waste, because these pianos have a gorgeous tone, and begs to be played like a proper instrument.
