More demos of appassionata strings 1 ?

[rpaillot]

Hello,

I'm thinking of purchasing VSL appassionata strings 1 standard edition but I still have some doubts :D 

Some demos sound pretty convincing ( the simon ravn,  martijn spruit one ) , while some others seem rather synthy ( appassionata strings articulation demo by beat kaufman for example, sorry Beat ;) I think you've done much better demos !  ;) )

I would love if someone could post some isolated demos of every group of strings instruments, cellos, altos etc...

If someone could also make a demo of appassionata performance trills ( only available in the extended edition ) it would be great ! 

And if I could test Vienna Appassionata strings for 1 or 2 days it would be even better but I don't think it's possible =( 

Thank you

Hello  and welcome Romain,

more demos will come for sure [:)]

Where do you live? That might help in finding a place to check out the Appassionata Strings....

Best,

Hello Romain

What is a good demo? I always try to take as little effects as possible for the demos for VSL. 

Maybe the reverb (Altiverb, Vienna Konzerthas Large Hall) was no great shakes for the articulation demo.

What ever...

I can offer another version of the articulation demo with another reverb

http://www.beat-kaufmann.com/Appassionata_Strings_1_Articulations_VI08.mp3  

and specially for you the same piece without any effect!!! (beside the pannings)

(try to take your favorite reverb and EQ-preset)

Here are some other Appassionata1-Demos

(another version than in the Articulation-Demo > I tried to simulate Mantovani's style > melting violins)

and specially for you an excerpt of the strings

(incl. a Synthy[:)] - Bass)  

More Appassionata-Demos?

As Paul mentioned above... 

There is a demo in the pipeline which shows all four string libraries (solo, chamber,

orchestra, appassionata) in the same piece - same effects, same room, same mastering.

So even if you feel the mix and the effects synthy: Nevertheless, they will be used for all

strings and you can compare them anyway. It should be a help to select the string library

which could be the best for your tasks...

Be a little patient... 

 

All the best
