Spitfire Audio - London Contemporary Orchestra Strings

I don't have that project open so I don't remember all that I used but I do know I used the Spitfire Symphonic Woodwinds and the Spitfire Hans Zimmer Piano. When I have time tomorrow I can go into the project and give you the other list. I am not sure but I may have also used Cinebrass. Here is one other track that uses LCOS, Hans Zimmer Piano and Spitfire Woodwinds.
 
Thanks so much. You don't need to go digging out old projects to satisfy my curiosity. This piece (Dreams) tells me everything I need to know. Very nice as well. I do like the sound of the Hall.

thanks again, Steve

Glad to help. I agree with you, while there are some issues i have with the piano module (velocity dynamics can be tricky), there is something magical about the sound of the hall / piano that make it worth the price. It inspires me to play.
 
I do find myself wishing that the lib included legatos, but for now I'm finding that I can fake my way through with CSS and some judicious EQ. How's everyone else working around the lack of legatos?
I try to fake it with the Release control. But yes, the addition of an Extended version including true legatos and some other crazy articulations would be really appreciated.

I agree with you that I would love more articulations. This library provides so much excitement to a score but does require Eq/ reverb magic to integrate it with other libraries properly.
 
I did some tests with combining the LCO Vivid Violins with some legato patches from other libraries. These are the LCO Violins alone:

[AUDIOPLUS=https://vi-control.net/community/attachments/legato-lco-vivid-mp3.19298/][/AUDIOPLUS]

Together with the six violins of the VSL Chamber Strings, they resulted in a too big ensemble (despite the much lower volume I mixed the VSLs in):

On the contrary, only two of the VSL Dimension Violins worked fine, with the right ensemble size and the LCO timbre prevailing in the mix:

The VSL Dim Violins alone, with the performance trill patch selected:

All placed in the Teldex wide via MIR. No patch changes, only the raw ones.

Thanks for the examples.
 
I've tried an organized review on the LCO Strings. English is not my first language, so it may not sound always clear, and I apologize for this.

LCO Strings Review

I hope I can post this type of links in the forum, and in particular in the Commercial section. The review discusses of this library, the final evaluation is positive, and contains some additional examples, but the information and examples are out of the control of Spitfire. Plus, while it is an amateur page, it contain links to advertising. And posting here might be seen as an advertisement to my web page, attached to a commercial announcement.

If posting this link here is not allowed or considered fair, please let me know.
