I constantly read differing opinions on the use of Portamento String slurs and I’m curious why. What is it that people don’t like about them, hate about them? I’ve even read that people think that a String library should not to bother even including them!
Is it a snobbish thing? An elitist attitude? A technique that isn’t used by real players as much as people that write with sample libraries so therefore people think it’s not “valid” music (whatever that means). Personal dislike? Just thinking out loud.
Coming from a Rock background to recently trying to write music with Orchestral instruments (and going down the path of studying composition, Harmony, Orchestration which is obviously a life long journey etc), I genuinely don’t know why some people hate them and interested to hear some reasons why.
I should add, I love the sound of them and I have now decided I will endeavour to always have at least one in every piece of music I write, for the rest of my life, just to annoy the “haters” haha!
