I just received this and so far, 20 minutes or so in, I am really, really loving it. If I turn of the reverb and stereo mic and load the close mic, and pan properly, I think I may have my new "go to' woodwinds.
The sound and flexibility is great and I find the legato really playable. I will be reviewing this for macProVideo.com and I can already predict it will be very positive.
Looking forward to this review! can you let us know when it's available?

Why should one has to turn off mics that are supposed to fit standards? Also that means that something is missing to work appropriately out of the box within spaces (halls) or is it a matter of taste...? And not every woodwind ensemble is supposed to play in a church. ..OT BWW, and new released Sonokinetics WW have a very decent room mics that doesn't color heavily the original sound of the instruments.

If you've read this far, sorry for the long-winded post.
Time to decide whether to go the piecemeal route and possibly invest in a convolution reverb, or stick with one brand for easier blending of libraries. Since my current library is still relatively small, what approach is best?
Comparing some wood instruments, including Bass, ContraBassoons, Bassoons, Clarinets, Oboe, different Flutes. Solo and in an Ensemble from SoundIron, 8Dio, Orchestra Tools, Spitfire Audio, Fluffy, Cinesamples, and Project SAM.
This small comparison may help in finding the right tune when you compose and wonder if the gras is greener in that other library.
The whole session starts with one Piano and ends with a Piano (both from 8Dio)
Rodney, you are the man, let me see what I do tomorrow)With all do respect, my friend, and thank you for taking the time to demo your woodwind libraries, perhaps a comparison of single legato lines with some added short articulations would be better suited when comparing Woodwinds rather than a part featuring the idiomatic writing of the piano?
Looking forward to it!Rodney, you are the man, let me see what I do tomorrow)
+1 for Rodney's comment. Chords don't really come into play much for these kind of libraries. Thanks for the efforts with the demo though.Rodney, you are the man, let me see what I do tomorrow)
