I'm so glad Spitfire Audio is having a 50% campaign for "Studio Strings", because it led me to find the master of Sample Library reviews! You are very impressive Cory! You manage, more than anyone else, to make any sample library sound as good as it can performance-wise, and you seem to have a proper grasp on composition, so you're able to show short but proper examples of all styles, instead of... well, let's not go there. It means that every library gets a fair shake, so the short-coming can be put into proper perspective. I hope you'll do many more videos, and on any subject you like!
Thanks for showing us all this. I have almost everything Project Sam' makes. All I can say' to those who haven't purchased a lot of their stuff (compared to other software) is, they always seem to be over-priced' compared to the competition, and they always include sounds that I would NEVER use. Having said that', I accept the higher price for Project Sam' software (like Swing! More) because the realism is almost always there. They create presets that are musically-friendly to work with. Yes, they never seem to go on sale' so we're stuck with paying more. Their True Strike 2 library is a great example of this love-hate relationship. It has everything I'll never use on my musical works recorded at the highest quality' so on the surface' I say to myself: I'm not interested in that. But Project Sam' also included one of their Dystopia' libraries on it (which are incredibly useful to me). So I think they saw that Ethnic percussion is not very sought-after by most customers - so they added something to get you to open up your wallet and buy it. It's this type of business practice' that Project Sam is doing to maintain our attention.
@Cory Pelizzari By the way, really want to know your opinions on the Fable Sounds Broadway Lites 2.0 library which is also on sale right now (at VSTBuzz). How do you compare the Swing! Bundle with that library? Thanks.
I don't really do much jazz scoring but libraries I think are awesome for jazz vibe are the Premier Sound Factory libraries, Session Horns Pro and from what I've seen, Birth of the Trumpet.
@@SheldonTam depends on your budget and your deadline. I think those are pretty economical I was thinking about getting both but I think I can just deal with swing more. This summer there seems to be a lot of 50% and 40% off deals with different Developers
Very cool Enter the Dragon stuff! Do you think this would be a good choice for that sort of 1970s funky, jazzy scoring? I don’t do traditional big band stuff, but I’m looking for a good extensive library that can cover funky, jazzy stuff from 1950s-70s, but particularly jazz-funk.
This is pretty much made for that type of thing. Other libraries that can enhance your palette are Double Cream Drums from Loops de la Creme, Scarbee Funk Guitarist and Blue Street Brass from Indiginus Samples.
Cory Pelizzari Thanks so much for the info and additional suggestions. I’m thinking of picking up both Swing and Swing More during the summer sale and have my eye on the others you mentioned as well!
I wouldn't say need, but they would definitely help. I'd say try out what you have first and if you feel there's a gap that this library can fill, then pick it up.

Awesome review style, gonna binge the rest of your vids, I fear for my wallet!! 🤓🙈 Much appreciated though, keep up the great work!!
Hi, thanks for the video! Will the height of acute notes of the saxophone be extended?

17:10 Enter The Dragon?!
Yep.
GREAT
Awesome review as always. I'm curious, what would be your go to library for "jazz scoring"
I don't really do much jazz scoring but libraries I think are awesome for jazz vibe are the Premier Sound Factory libraries, Session Horns Pro and from what I've seen, Birth of the Trumpet.
Thanks. There's currently a NI sale and your walk through is very helpful
Have you bought? I am still thinking...
@@SheldonTam no. But I'm leaning to swing more. There are so many sales now
@@jonathanparham Right, even on sale, those are not cheap though...

@@jonathanparham Too tempting, got both...

If I have Komplete 13 CE which includes Session Horns Pro, and I want to get around to making some Swing Jazz music,
Do I need this?
I wouldn't say need, but they would definitely help. I'd say try out what you have first and if you feel there's a gap that this library can fill, then pick it up.
@@CoryPelizzari Thank you very much
God, I miss this channel.
Me too my friend...
2:34 lol
omg ? OMG ! xD
The Schiffrin "Enter The Dragon" Bruce lee's theme made my day at ua-cam.com/video/I18iJg87sf0/v-deo.html
It's always good when someone actually picks up on the little homages I slip in to these videos.
whats the song at min 18.42?
Just something I made up.
@@CoryPelizzari you should consider to work on it
@@CoryPelizzari I got some ODST vibes from it ahah
