Hi,
I have made some examples of fast down- and upbow scales for violins here*.
I was interested how different string libraries (in this case the violins) would behave in these
situations. It concerns four scales upwards and downwards over more than
two octaves.
Velocity settings: from 50 to 125 upwards and back to 50 downwards. Verb used: QL-Spaces, Northwest Hall TS FR 2.6.
To make things not too complicated I have indicated when a track is non-layered, layered (2 libraries) or
even more layered (3/4). I have done my best (with limited time as always) to choose the best patches for
the different tempo settings: some libraries offer more articulations
than others (which doesn't mean that this is always necessary imho).
To prevent listening with the common prejudice (as I would do myself
also, I guess) I have decided to make it a kind of "blind" test. In this
context it seemed interesting to me how other people rate these tracks.
So I have included a nice star rate contest: you can give (anonymously
of course) your vote to each of the tracks (only once). After voting you
will be rewarded with the outcome of your contribution and those of
others.
Within two weeks I will give away all specific details. Only one of the libraries had to be a bit positively manipulated (EQ) because of evident recognition on forehand btw.
Anyway VSL Orchestra Strings is also nominated!
So readers of this forum: your votes please............
Best,
Erik
