Hi all before I ask my question I'm not referring to 'layering' different libraries (unless that's the only way to do it). What I'd like to know is how would you go about using an orchestral section from 1 wet library and using that with the other sections of another wet library. Say for...

I hate to be mean, but someone has to say it. Most sample library review videos on youtube are useless. There are exceptions, and I don't want to name names, but I can't be the only one who thinks this, surely? If you're going to make a sample library video on youtube, make it a demo or a series...

I believe there are five main frontiers in orchestral sample library realism. Essentially, these are the big dead giveaways that you are hearing samples rather than the real thing. These five things still need improvement and will define future big innovations in future sample libraries. 1...
