Happy new year all!
I have been working with SE vol1+, VI pro, and MIRx for sometime in Sibelius writing Orchestral concert music, now I want to do the next step and start do proper mockup in a DAW, so I want to purchase new libraries and software.
Considering my budget, I am not completely sure what to buy, I am thinking in Symphonic cube standard, and getting full libraries for some instruments (Orchestral strings, flu 1, Cla 2...), next I am not sure if I should go for MIR pro, or just use MIRx, suite pro, and use the money for more samples (I am thinking Dimension strings for layering, and more full libraries).
I am a beginner when it comes to mixing and mastering, so I am not sure if I will be able to use MIR pro to it's full potential, alternatively I can use MIRx and Vienna suite pro, so my questions:
1- What would you prefer, more samples or MIR pro?
2- Can I achieve using MIRx and Vienna suite pro similar result to MIR pro? Using EQ presets for instrument character, and the algorithmic reverb in Hybrid reverb instead of Miracle? (I should be fine with the fixwd positions in MIRx.
3- I also have a smaller project I want to do with Synchron sound as I am using smart sphere. Is the sound of VI instruments in MIR pro Synchron stage Identical to the Synchronizd libraries?
4- Is there MIRx Synchron stage coming soon?
5- I know starter editions are sampled in whole tone, Is Symphonic cube standard library sampled in semitone as well or whole tone?
Thank you and best wishes for 2021!
