i'd love to see a tutorial or two on New Orleans/Dixieland style compositions someday.

[@AlexBallMusic]

Use these libraries quite a lot, they are very handy.
Enjoyed your breakdown!

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

I can see the visuals moving in synch with this incredible music already.

[@selezneo]

Stunning!!!
(Still an issue with the strings quality persists, but your job is great!)

[@murahachibu]

A third volume in the Swing Series would be amazing.

[@ProjectSAMCinematicSampling]

What would you like to see in a third volume?

[@murahachibu]

I feel like we’ve got a great base to cover everything well through the 1950s-60s. Maybe stretch it out further to be able to better cover the funky and jazzy 1970s TV/film scores.
More solo instruments
Baritone guitar
Wah guitar
Flutes (including bass flute)
More flavors of jazzy horns and brass
Disco strings
Harp (jazz style)
Orchestral drums
Male and female vocals
You guys are the best I’m sure you’d come up with amazing content. There’s nothing on the market that can do that stuff with your level of quality.

@@ProjectSAMCinematicSampling to add to this, we would love to have female african american vocalists singing phrases and jazz harmony lines in the third volume, particularly because their voice adds so much character in jazz and blues that classical vocalists just cant get. maybe a legato patch too with dynamics, expression and vibrato control for those who want to use the patches for other genres cause why wouldnt you ;) . you guys have already cracked the code of making great sounding libraries, just an addition of good male and female jazz vocals would make swing 3 the complete package anyone would ever need!

[@MamaSymphonia]

@@ProjectSAMCinematicSampling I'd buy Swing 3 in a hamster's heartbeat if it had more woodwinds, especially flutes.

[@Hotwire_]

@@ProjectSAMCinematicSampling please add vocal samples to Swing More and More!

[@Swizzenator]

YES! YES! YES! YES!

[@pauls-audiolabor]
