For me - owning multiple strings libraries is driven by the wide range of projects I am working on. For example, I am just starting reel 3 on a feature and ALREADY I have tapped into 5 different strg libraries to achieve what the client is asking for. Which is the reality for 'snapshot' recorded performances that are what we have. If we were standing in front of musicians in a live session - we could 'ask' for exactly what we need - BUT - with lower budget projects (non-live) it is what it is.
Having said that - at this point with so many 'options' - I am really only excited about anything that offers a differential advantage - over what I own - or in the rare case - something uniquely new and fresh.
They're modern compared to Rinascimento and Dominus .Also not exactly sure what’s “modern” about these strings. It just sounds like another string library to me (albeit a very nice sounding one!). Looking forward to seeing more about what it brings to the table that isn’t covered in the 8 million string libraries on the market.
If your doing a Teaser for visiting Venise, that works great. If your doing a teaser for a string library, less so. Just my opinion...It's a teaser! Actually the whole teaser idea was an excuse to do a beautiful video. There's something in videomaking that reignites the same creativity stream as music and programming libraries do.
Looks fantastic, Paolo! I'm very much looking forward to the release and the inevitable walkthrough!Hello Everyone!
We are ironing all the details, polishing stuff here and there, meanwhile collecting beautiful demos from our demo makers, discovering Simone (our new employee) composer's skills, Olmo is doing some videos for a proper walkthrough and I'm trying to setup everything for a shiny release. This time we'll be using Pulse to download the library, to avoid our customers download the library through a long list of .rar files (there will be this option anyway).
I can share something that may interest you:
"
This library will be a "traditional" kind of core string library. The main stuff is there with some little things that you may not find elsewhere. We have an automated modulation system for all the sustained-like sounds, so you can create some custom articulations that can morph from a tremolo to a flautando, in an automated, controlled, or semi-random way. There will be arcs "a la" 8dio (can I cite other developers). Staccatissimo samples extracted from a real fast performance to perform ostinato-like stuff, time-streatchable staccatos (with Up-Down alternation and RRs), and there will be glissando, legato and bow-change legatos. Also rebowing on the same note. The main artwork, by the talented artist Sofia Bolognesi (https://www.artstation.com/sofiabolognesi) doesn't take space, since it's a panel that hides some custom features for each of the available articulations.
The idea was to create a pleasant to look GUI, with basic functionality, but let the user explore further the possibilities of the library with the "advanced" controls.
We finished the main editing phase last November, then we spent months playing the library and fixing the stuff that we thing that could be improved, and so on. There are like 120.000 samples in this library (54 gb compressed in NCW)!
The GUI itself is still subject to little additions, we may add some features before the release, but the main point is that we want it to be the best as we can.
The price won't be something unreasonable I think, something on the line of our most expensive libraries (which are not as expensive as the most expensive libraries of other developers).

Great question! I wish somewhen this month! Actually the first planned release date was last December :-ODo we have a release date yet?
