Pacific Strings - user demo thread

As there's a lot of hype around this library and the intro period is quite long I figured it makes sense to have a dedicated thread for user demos so that anyone who has not decided yet has quick access to a bunch of demos. I am downloading the library right now and will make a couple of videos about it and post them here; I hope other early adopters will join me.

I'm also taking video requests, so if there's anything specific you'd like to see/hear, just let me know! :)

Would love some comparisons between other string libraries !

Here’s a possibility—-any chance you could make it a blind comparison? The human brain is plagued with inherent selection bias when we know which example is which. Why not make it blind, and see if most people pick Pacific as the best, without knowing? That would be a useful thing for people still wondering if they should buy.

That would be great - I can post something here and attach the midi and you can render it with your ones!
@Montisquirrel are there any specific instruments or articulations you'd like us to focus on?

Great suggestion, will do!
 
Oh wow! It is released!

Can someone confirm if the March 30th 2023 intro is the same date for loyalty discounts? If so, that's a pretty generous period. I don't want to miss out on loyalty pricing and will probably need till March to justify the funds.
 
Pacific strings and harp + CSB solo horn:

CSS version is in signature.

With Pacific it sounds much less MIDI-like, I think. More natural.

Strings are just out of the box (but with Close mics panned).
With harp I'm only using the AB mic (so no Close mic) - this is to push it back in the mix.
Nothing's added plug-in-wise except a limiter on the master bus (the stock Cubase one)

Would be nice to hear each section, one at a time, without any reverb/EQ and no chords – just single notes. Actually, maybe even without the AB microphone. The Blakus live stream was very interesting (check the violas here) – but the bottom line is how controllable the 'room' in all libraries are.


Don't get me wrong, I'm already very impressed! :) The 3 violins FFF overlay (one dynamic only!) is also very impressive:
