performance samples

I know I'm oh so special coming here to ask about strings sample libraries, but I want to throw my situation into the ring: Despite being a college student with times when I'm financially stable enough to buy new libraries being few and far between, I've amassed a decent-sounding virtual...

How do Performance Samples brass libraries differ from one another? What are the key differences between Caspian, Angry Brass and Pacific (other than ensemble size)? I am considering getting a library for typical heroic brass stuff - anything between staccatissimo and marcato that can do the...

Hey fellow musicians, this my latest (and probably the last) attempt of the Imperial March from Star Wars Episode 5. The total project time is 5 hours and 30 minutes, in my estimation, 4 hours of this is actual working time. I tried to stay as close as possible to the original sound, I am not...

Here is my Epic Version of The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom. And here is the list of the Librarires used for it Cheers :) WOODWINDS Flutes Spitfire Symphonic Woodwinds Piccolo Spitfire Symphonic Woodwinds Clarinet Spitfire Symphonic Woodwinds Oboe Berlin Woodwinds English Horn...

Short little piece featuring Dolce, and other libraries! Thanks for listening. :) Cheers, Chris

Hey guys! I recently picked up Pacific Ensemble Strings and have been loving it! I made a mockup in collaboration with a close friend of mine, who prepared a score for this project. Would love to see what you guys think of it! I would really appreciate any thoughts or opinions on it. :) Also...

Hi guys ! I bought Performance Samples Pacific Strings very recently and I have to say, I'm really impressed with this library. I used a lot Cinematic Studio Strings and Afflatus Strings before that. And I definitely intend to replace them with Pacific Strings. Here's the mock-up : I did also...

Sadly I completely missed Solo Violin B last year during PS's winter sale, lasting until late February or March (don't remember). Does anyone know if such a sale will happen this year? Is there any sales "schedule" with PS or is it completely random? Btw, for some reason I can't subscribe to...

A brand new video from The Sampleist. Marcus Manderson takes us through the stunning news sounds of Pacific Strings by Performance Samples. Performance Samples was kind enough to provide us a copy of the library for review. 

I'm a bit confused about Continuata Products (e.g. Performance Samples). Maybe I've overlooked something, but I couldn't find any information about what happens if I "loose" my downloaded Samples (Broken Harddrive, Screwed Up NKIs, or whatever). Can I just redownload them with my original...

Hey, I've made the music theme for a YouTube channel called Addicted To Adventure. Here is an overwiew of the reaper session. List of instruments used in the video description but it features a lot of Audio Imperia's stuff like Fluid Brass and Woods, Aeria and Nucleus among others. Here also...

I'm in the market for an epic choir library, especially for short staccato notes. I already have 8dio Lacrimosa for the sustains which I am happy with, but the shorts leave something to be desired. I have it in my head that I want the Sterzlov choir package because Storm Choir ultimate seems...

Got this news in an email this morning: https://www.performancesamples.com/reintroductionsale Caspian and Fluid Shorts 1 both return at 38% off. The five Con Moto string sections (but not, apparently, the bundle) return and are 24% to 34% off. No word on how long the sale prices will last.

So as the title says, what is the best way you utilize them? Do you use them as 1.A layering library 2.Full blown Workhorse library 3.On a as-needed basis approach 4.Just to add Life and Sparkle 5.Secret Weapon ( Won't tell anyone) 6.As Sketching Tools 7.I need to have it to complete my...

Hey there, friends! Today I'm sharing with you a short mockup I quickly created using Fluid Shorts II from Performance Samples. Really love the tone, details on each mic signal, and how well they articulate at multiple speeds. Mic mix: Close and Main No external reverb applied Track: Grasp of...

Speedwriting/testing the dynamic range and beautiful tone of "Chamber Violins - Classical Shorts" FREE library by Performance Samples. Available at: https://www.performancesamples.com/chamberviolins-classicalshorts/ Mic mix: CL = -4.5 db AB = 0 db AM = -3.5 (No reverb, No EQ applied)

Hey guys, I made another comparison video of CSB and Sample Modeling, and this time, Angry Brass. Three very different libraries, two highly esteemed, one free. This video features trailer-style music, with brassy horn ensembles, fast repeating trumpets, and low brass ostinati. For anyone...

Hey guys, I'm getting back to composing and I'm basically starting over with building my libraries collection, from zero. I've had this idea, but I don't know of it's a good one, so I need some of your thoughts to help me out. Now here is the thing, I could get Albion ONE as a nice all in one...

I was considering buying Caspian as I love Performance Samples' style of performance based sampling where its focused all on playability and there is no need for keyswitches. I have Oceania, and Caspian seems to have the same philosophy of playability behind it. But I see that Angry Brass Pro...

A short cue that I wrote with Oceania (Choir) and some of the freebies by Performance Samples. Would love to hear your thoughts! Cheers!

I have Oceania and love the ease-of-use and performance based sampling (no articulations or keyswitches needed). Caspian has the same thing going on, which makes me interested in it, and I need a brass library. Kind of a shame it doesn't have a tuba though. Do you guys think it's worth it to...

Heads up , I just noticed a 72 hour flash sale going on over at Performance Samples if anyone is interested. Caspian Brass $149 Oceania Choir $149 and Fluid Shorts $49 https://performancesamples.com/

So this just showed up on Facebook! :) Thoughts? Is this the library from the alpha-demo on Soundcloud?

I just bought AS (after reading this thread among others (thanks @NoamL!)), and love them so far! Also I got Caspian a while back, and want to build a really efficient and easy template with maximum playability and less fidgeting to focus on composing. As a beginner, I don't have huge demands...

Hey there, Time was tight this week so the Samplecast is a little bit shorter than usual. However, I've still managed to squeeze in news, bargains, freebies and a review of Performance Samples' Con Moto Cellos. Aside from Samplecast stuff, I've been busy with writing and video work, including a...

After watching Mike Verta's Template Balancing class, I was convinced to finally set up my own proper orchestral template. I've been reluctant to do so for a number of reasons but time is short and I'm not getting younger. After playing around with the Active-Bow Tech Demo and River Harp from...

The strings are cool too (great octave patches - very lush and symphonic!) but the brass knocks it off! A lot of you might already have heared about the library but for those who didn't... there you go. http://performancesamples.com/legacyselection/ Here is how it sounds. (No Downloads. Links...

We had the pleasure of testing Performance Samples' brand-new orchestral brass library CASPIAN! Caspian features 12 brass players of the renowned Czech Capellen Orchestra. In style and design, Caspian follows the company’s philosophy of creating easy-to-use, all-in-one instruments. This approach...

Hey all! Here's my overview of Performance Samples' Caspian. Love what Jasper did with this one. Really intuitive and playable.
