    Thanks for watching friends! Please note - this was recorded prior to Sonixinema's new legato cello library. If I had it here, I would have included it! It's definitely among my new favourites. :)

      Thanks for the heads-up on this new cello library! There aren't many reviews online yet, and I'm considering buying it while it's still on sale. Do you happen to know if the long notes are automatically (and very obviously and to my ear unmusically) re-bowed after about 5-6 seconds, like the Spitfire Total Performance cello (which to be fair I like otherwise)?

      Can you do a vs video between that and Tina Guo?

    How come you don't know about bohemian violin by virharmonic? It's clearly the best vst violin available. And emotional cello by best service is far better than Tina Guo cello. I have both, and belive me, emotional cello is far better.

    Currently writing a soundtrack using the Cremona Quartet from NI at the moment. Really digging the sound of those right now. Based on your demo, probably the most comparable in sound to Tableau Strings, maybe with a bit more reverb out of the box. Nice video!

    JBV is my MVP for solo violin. Audio Imperia Solo actually did a very impressive job with their solo strings. Only one velocity layer though. TG cello legato is arguably the best, but the ancient Nocturne Cello is on par with it and I like its short articulations more.

    Very surprised you don't have the Joshua Bell Violin on here. Probably the greatest solo VST of all time.

    For some reason, the first violin library is quite expressive but doesn’t have the timber of a violin in my opinion. Sounds almost like an erhu to me

      @ChristopherSiu  Рік тому +1

      I know what you mean! I think a bit more scratchiness and more presence on the transitions would help.

    • @ChristopherSiu
      @ChristopherSiu  Рік тому

      There's some portamento-style transitions in the library, but you can't really control it manually. It just happens when you're playing in context of a phrase and a larger interval!

      It's a perfectly capable library and 100% safe choice with great interface but it's less emotionally evocative than other products. Comparing cellos, it just isn't as passionate as TG or Nocturne Cello.
