What's new

Out Now: Areia - Cinematic Ensemble Strings

Hard to tell really...those demos don't really give any sense of what the strings can do. Didn't like the naked demo at all...there was a weird buzzing sound all the way through...reminds me of Hyperion Micro Strings...hated those.. LOL But hopefully I'm wrong. So far Jaegar and Nucleus sound better judging by the demos.

So many string libraries being released over the next months that I feel like it's best to just wait until they're all released.. LOL
Maybe the weird buzzing sound is from Soundcloud. It has that effect on my music.
 
I love Audio Imperia, and I really love that they popped this out with no warning while other developers are ridiculously dragging their feet on string libraries that should have been released six months ago LOL. However, you can't really tell anything from the demos but at least now we know what's coming.

agreed...just release them.
 
@audioimperia ,

If it is possible to post demos of this library on Youtube as well, which I feel has much better quality than Soundcloud you would give us a much better representation of how the library actually sounds, than Soundcloud, which imho. messes up too much with the original quality of audio files.

Also, more exposed demos of the Strings, since this is a Strings library, it would be better to have less distractions to better evaluate, and appreciate them. Too much brass, and perc. doesn't help much to evaluate the strings. Naked Strings demos, and some in context would be perfect.

No processing, just the library loaded into the DAW with a bit of the built-in Kontakt reverb. Real sustain sordino, not emulated.

Initial impressions is it sounds like the soundcloud examples (especially the sordino sustains one) are distorting from being recorded too hot? I hear a distorting sizzle on the whole thing like the other member said sounded like a buzzing. That said, It does sound like a nice sounding library may be hiding underneath there somewhere and that naked viola legato sounded tasty to me. I also want to hear all the articulations gone through without backing tracks that aren't from this library.
 
Same here. I'm glad they developed their own dedicated Strings Library.

I wonder what it offers that is unique, or special besides the sonic quality/timbre of the strings. I guess we will know more soon.

A first glimpse at our phrase sourced measured tremolo! Realistic sounding measured tremolo passages that are super easy to make to speed up your workflow. ZERO time-stretching, 100% multi-samples, works for any tempo.
