@Guy
I already asked for it, but never received an answer. Since you have the full version could you post a brief comparison between standard and full library? That would be so nice.

I've only used the Full version so far, what this screenshot shows is about as much as I know regarding the difference.

Thanks. I know it's only the microphones which differ, and that's the interesting part for me. How do these additional mike positions improve the sound? Couldn't you just simply turn the additional ones off for a comparison?

Good luck with your different direction. (Hmmm.. I wonder what it is ?) :whistling:

Well, my orchestra is based on Spitfire, and I realized I want to focus on that to get an effective and easy setup workflow. And I don't even have time to learn Vienna Ensemble or the new player. So a bit quick on the "buy button" I guess.

Spitfire Libraries are wonderful.

You can always re-purchase Synchron Strings I in the future, especially after they have the new Synchron Player, and the library is completed. :)

+1.. exactly, I am also interested in the sonic advantages of buying the full version vs. standard if 3D audio is not on the table. Thanks Guy all the same.

In general, the additional mics contained in the Extended Library add more depth in the mix - surrounds and high surround mics are capturing more detail of the room.

STANDARD LIBRARY: The Decca Tree can be seen as a mixture between the direct signal and the room response, and you can influence how close you want to get to the ensemble by adjusting the volume of the Close mic (the ensemble leader) and the Mid mic (in front of the ensemble).

EXTENDED LIBRARY: The surround and high surround mics are designed to capture the more defused sound of the room, adding a great sense of space.

You should use these microphones in all surround formats.

The more room microphones are added to a stereo mix, the more compact the room ambience appears.

So the different room microphones change the overall character of the room amount in your mix.

Actually I'm very curious about the rear mic - back of ensemble :D

Thanks Guy.. just what the doctor ordered :) so far I am using the room-mix and mid (L/R) mics together.. I think I will give a try for a mix between the close and mid mics and see how close that gets me to the ensemble.
Would you please publish “unchained”* with just a room mix and probably a mid mic? Would be really great if you can.
Thanks again.
* i’m thinking there is lots of room (sorry for the pun :)) for ambience in this composition.

Spitfire Audio Libraries are wonderful
 
Hi,

Here is an interesting video I found while browsing Youtube today, showing VSL Synchron Strings I demos, and some live playing examples of various patches, and the various mics options.



Cheers,

Yeah I posted it a couple weeks ago because I thought it sounded wonderful but good demos don't seem to be popular in this thread lol! The good ones get ignored and bad ones get talked about forever.

Hi @Casiquire ,

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It sounds very good, and it is very helpful.

Oh.. on a side note, I noticed you are using Sonar, So...have you decided which DAW you will be switching to in the future ? :)

Apologies for being unclear, I did not make the video, I found it on YouTube and posted it on this thread as an example of how nice the library sounds. It was largely ignored. Might have had more hits if I wrote "Wow listen to how bad this library is!"

Oh.. I see, I thought you meant you made the video.

Anyways.. Thanks for clarifying, and ignore the Sonar comment ;)

I wonder if the maker of the video is a member of this forum ?
