Hello, Can you explain me, what's diference in sound of Appassionata and Orchestral Strings, please? I own the Orchestral Strings I with the Extension library. This sounds me very close (like close mics) on demo songs on vsl web too....
This and other forums are full of explanations.Sometimes it would be better to offer examples...
In this case I can offer two sound demos for comparing the sounds of all VSL-strings
Go to http://www.beat-kaufmann.com/demos/index.php
1. Choose "Music B. Kaufmann" and select "Irish Strings VI08"
- 00:00 - 00:49 Solostrings (Viola starts with the melody)
- 00:50 - 01:33 Chamberstrings (Viola again..)
- 01:34 - 02:19 Orchestra Strings
- 02:20 - 02:50 Appassionat Strings
- 02:51 - End mixed Strings
I used the same articulations for all strings, the same reverb, no EQs, I just panned them a bit to right and left...
Funny to see how agil the Appassionats can play the pattern...
2. Choose "Various Composers" and the "BK_BWV_622_Oh_Mensch_bewein..."
- 00:00 - 01:09 Solo Viola
- 01:10 - 02:18 Solo Strings
- 02:18 - 03:02 Chamberstrings
- 03:03 - 03:44 Orchestra Strings
- 03:45 - 04:33 Appassionat Strings (Orchestra Ctr Basses as well (a bit enhanced and fited to the Appassionata sound))
For all strings: I used the same Reverb, no EQs, Panning yes (individual)
BTW, I often mix the Strings:
- App + Orch
- App + Chamber
- Sometimes I also add the Solo Strings with the Apps
So maybe the title here should be: Appassionata and Orchestra Strings?
Have fun
