library

Hello ! I m really curious to get a sense on how most of you are managing/searchin within your own instrument libraries. Plugins as VST IMO do not necessary require it because they ll all appear and can get organized within the daw, beeing all VSTs (beside pt). Libraries are another story and...

Hi, what is the source of the human voice here?

I adore Rhodope2 from Strezov Sampling for various reasons. I would in fact call it my favorite choir library overall. It's just soo well done (like their other choirs). From my perspective, there is a lack in more high quality / flexible (therefore not just pre-recorded phrases) ethnic choir...

So you get a track accepted by an exclusive library. Then what happens from there to your track now being used from a company like Mercedes-Benz (or any other company) on one of their tv ads? Who are the ones calling the shots saying, "yes, I'd like that track for our next ad?" Just curious...

There is so much good info on here, tips, life lessons, personal experience, what to do, what not do but it's a bit over whelming and my brain can only process so much at a time lol. I'm looking at Amazon and there is so many options. Which book would you recommend for a starting off composer...

Hi all, I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Tremosphere. While writing for a recent film, I needed a few sustained beds for some cues. I was tired of reaching for my usual string sounds and wanted something a bit more unique and different that gave the same effect. As a...

Hey everyone! Jan from Treeswift Audio here, or sin(x) around these parts when I'm off-duty. I'm super excited to share some recent news with y'all – we just released our new soundset for u-he Zebra2! It's cool! And it's on discount! Oh boy! (Sorry, I'm running on too much coffee at this...

Apparently no one has really made a thread like this so I decided to create one. Imagine a plant identifier app, but for sample libraries. Rules: 1. Reply with an audio file 2. Fellow VI members, help each other out

I'm seeing a lot of recognition for this underrated instrument recently, but does it exist virtually?

Hey everyone, In my quest for niche 40s/50s/60s super-romantic strings, I've been looking for a really particular sound / playing style that pretty much doesn't exist in any library. It's basically super expressive playing, rich, fingered, almost chaotic legato transitions, and passionate...

Hello, I'm working on a composition where I want to use nordic library/VST, but I found on web libraries like DARK Era, that it's wonderful, but it's sold 250€ and I can't buy it right now, so there are some nordic libraries or free samples? I already downloaded something from pianobook. Thank You.

This week I started experimenting with layering different orchestral libraries together. The outcome is usually pretty cool, but I've been having a hard time lining the begginings of the notes for maximum impact. I'm still a begginer in orchestral music, so I'm not too sure what to listen for...

I wanted to buy the first car in my life. I chose a well-known brand, but the dealer told me: - If you lose your key, you won't be able to travel until you buy a spare key that costs half the price of a new car :( ...... so I've decided that I will build myself an "Orchestral vehicle". Now I'm...

Hey, can someone recognize & say what kontakt library / vst could the guitar in this track be? It sounds cool. here is the example, thank you:

Hey, I really like those saxophones sounds and playing style Which libraries could give me similar results? Please listen to these beautiful tunes and let me know ;)

If you use orchestral libraries a lot, like me, you probably encountered a bug where the notes keep playing even when the music is paused. I've encountered this bug sometimes and after some research, i think i found out the culprit, and i'm going to share here my findings to anyone who might be...

I'm going crazy. Hours and hours of comparisons. All these libs have great sweet spots, but to me none of them seem to stand out from the other. I just want a romantic & versatile solo string quartet. I don't know what to choose. Now you guys decide. I'll pull the trigger on the winner of...

Hey, I like the sound of the instrument in 0:03 and then in 0:09, doing beautiful lick Is that a saxophone? or any other instrument? Which kontakt library or vst could give me similar effect to this one? Thanks ;)

Hey, can you recommend me some guitar vsts. libraries with which I can improvise and make some good sounding solos? (I can also use guitar rig 6 for the sound) And I don't really mean like hard metal solo or anything like that. I think of guitars with which I can improvise on a beat like that...

I don't have hundreds of songs and tracks licensed for TV, movies, or games. Heck, I don't even have a single major placement. However, I'm blessed to be able to write the music I truly enjoy writing, and help others with their musical endeavours in any capacity. I grew up listening to Disney...

Hi everyone! I posted a thread a couple weeks ago about what orchestral plugin was best for me, and everyone helped me decide in just a week! :dancedance: Now I'm here with a more specific question, which one of these do you think is the best vocal plugin for each category? Choir There are...

Hi there! I'm thinking of purchasing the Spitfire Hans Zimmer Piano. The demos and the overall sound is more than just promising, but I have one question: The library is quite big, so I looked on the Spitfire page, where it says the library is 211gb. My friend who owns the Library claims that...

Has anyone used The Orchestra vst instrument? Has anyone had any paid projects using it (film, tv, library work) ? How do the samples compare with other libraries?

Hi guys here’s my review of ‘Stone’ a Kontakt library from new developer Murst Instruments -

Does deleting and reinstalling a library via the Spitfire App solve this? The Support seems to be very slow right now. I would simply try it, but we are talking about 600GB BBCSO download size...

In your opinion, if I wanted to make a mockup of a piece from the soundtracks of "Dinosaur" by James Newton Howard, "Avatar" by James Horner, or any other soundtrack with a feeling of African rhythms, which libraries would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

Apple has a new sampling plugin called Sampler; it comes as part of Logic 10.5. In this quick video, I give the new plugin a spin, and use it to create an EXS version of my Box Violins Sample Library.

For me, this would probably be... Room tone and mics from BBCSO Legato engine, dynamic range and crossfading from Cinematic Studio GUI from the NI Symphony Series Articulation management from Orchestral Tools Capsule Number of articulations similar to SA Chamber Strings (I guess more is always...

I´ve came across these two libraries when looking at some of Alan Meyerson´s videos on YouTube and found out he probably mixed LA Modern Percussion. I´ve got two questions about the libraries. 1) Does anybody use LA Modern Percussion? I´ve partly watched the walkthrough and they seem pretty...

After I composed I had a very positive feedback and some of guys suggested to make my own Zebra 2 sound library. Before I start to make it, I wanna say, that it will be top notch and one of the best on the whole market for sure, but it won't be really big, because each sound takes a lot of...

I have many orchestral samples libraries but not so much hybrid ones (HALion Sonic SE...) I'm looking for some bass (sub-bass) samples like this one @1:35-1:50 I'm on Cubase Pro with Kontakt (Full). I could probably with some tricks, create my own sound, with Retrologue2, Charlatan, Reaktor...

Hi everyone. After having carried out some research I realized I can sell my Damage library. I’d want to do it because I’m considering to purchase the ultimate komplete 12 bundle. This will cause a duplication. So if is there anybody who’s interested to buy Heavyocity’s damage for 160$ please...

When you record a brass melody with long notes and sustain articulation and in the end of each note you wanna have a couple of 16th notes which leads into the next long note. Like: Baaaaaaaam-Bam-Bam-Baaaaaaaam-Bam-Bam-Baaaaaaaam Do you play the Bam-Bam (16th notes) also with the sustain...

Can anyone recommend a good but affordable orchestral percussion sample library? I'm particularly after a good xylophone, bells (high) and chimes.

I've found myself really liking very focused individual sample libraries. While the Komplete's and Ominispheres would be nice, I can't always justify $400, $600, $1000 purchases. One option is to save up, but I feel I'd be saving up and not doing anything. Examples of what I am referring to in...

Hi I am making this library of analog synth sounds. Because I want it to sound super analog, I've done a lot of sampling, even duplicate sampling of same notes with random sample triggering - anyway, my point is that just one synth patch makes a huge multisample (anywhere from 50Mb to 1Gb) and...

Does anyone have a library to recommend for New Age ambient ? I'm mostly thinking choirs, but am open to others sounds. The quicker and easier to use, the better...
