Celli sound outstanding....

People don't be shy in applying liberal amounts of H-Shelving @ 9 Khz (like 6 to 8 db) on strings of VSL in general (except on Con Sords)

big boys do that all the time.....

(I really like the string piece)

yeah [;)]

Vienna .....great celli

Guy - I am always nice!!!!!

(just ordered mine)---Where is it, it is not here yet


Rob [:'(]

your Piano concerto sound like a genetik manipulation of Liszt,Bhrams and Wagner
having a party in the same SPA ! ooooo !

ok just kidding...you use the piano on is best side...i mean..sharp,snappy and
firework...but the pianissimo lack some presence..but again that piece show
your skill as a pianist and composer and the orchestration sound beefy and juicy
hum...wow !

keep going..you got it !

Great job on both of these demo's guy - the Appa strings one is my favourite!

I think this demo showcases the piano much better than the classical pieces I don't know why, I find this much more interesting to listen to than the moonlight or mozart - perhaps there is more freedom in your performance on original pieces?? I've said that before I know and not as a critisism... but the piano sounds brilliant here. This really is a great piano sound you know - quite astounding, I would go so far as to say, from my experience (and I havne't heard all possible sampled pianos out there) as a classical instrument, this is the best piano I've heard ever - and naturally true to it's intention it blends perfectly with the rest of the VSL library... cool! It really sounds like a recording but still has that studio gloss on the attacks as well and sits inside reverb perfectly - and there is a real depth in the image too which I think is coming from the piano not the reverb. So congrats Guy for the demo and VSL for the piano and instruments. The Appa strings are especially hollywood aren't they (in the best sense). Great!

Miklos.

Thanks Miklos for your usual generous compliments, it's always a pleasure to hear positive feedback like that and I'll take it any day, even Sundays! [;)]

Guy sent us the final version of his official Appassionata Strings demo.
It's divided into three parts.
First one is a slightly revised version of the previous April Farewell demo.
Second part features a lot of different articulations, and the third part is based on clusters and random pizzicato effects.

Sunset, Dream and Nightmare!

The second demo
Anaheim Appassionatas
http://vsl.co.at/Player2.aspx?Lang=13&DemoId=4992

was our official demo at NAMM show, composed by Christian Kardeis.
It features the Appassionata Strings with orchestral accompainement.
This demo was featured at the show running live as midifile in Logic on one computer.

Thanks a lot Guy and Christian!

that midifile would sure be interesting to see [:)]

Wow this new demo - Anaheim will sell hundreds of copies for you. Just installing mine now - can't wait.


--where's my epic trumpets!!!!!!!!!




Rob

Were both standard and extended used on those demos? 50/50? I would like to know please?!

Best strings i ever heard. Obviously! [:D]

Man you are good at that nightmare stuff Guy but I really loved the first two movements even more.

Christian - what a great demo! I really enjoyed this one also, both of these really exciting love the mixes a lot and wow the library sounds GREAT!

All the Best both of you,
Miklos.

Excellent demo, both!

Christian, are u using exclusively AP strings all over the place?

Was this demo performed on a single computer?

Thks,

Iván

Listened to both of these demos again - It never ceases to amaze me of the level of skill that Guy, Christian, Jay and so many others put into these demos.

This latest release of AP is just one more confirmation that I decided on the right orchestral library 2-3 years ago. Thanks to all at VSL for such and nice product and retaining the skills of these demo makers to show off your products accurately and honestly.

Rob

Now, now Rob - too much talk, too little cellos...

You know I would have made you something by now [;)]

I think my AP will arrive monday or thuesday.

Christian,

This is a SAD story but I haven't even played around with the copy that has been here since last night. A client push up a schedule that was already too quick. You may hear the celli's before I do [:'(]

--anyone else help Christian out


(maybe if I get this done by Monday afternnon - sorry I know that is terrible)

hehe ok... [:)]

Svon to the rescue!

OK - Christian. I couldn't stand it. I had to load them up and try at least one matrix (Perf Legato Combi)


Here is a VERY quick (5 min) demo of just improvising - running through a few keyswitches (leg, sfz, and prog vib) and riding a pedal controlling velxfade. Straight out of box no eq, simple IR in Wizoo w2.


If the rest of this library is like this, we are all in for a treat [[;)]]

Sweet thanks - sounds good.

Thanks again.

Your welcome Christian - I wish I had time for more but now I am really in trouble [*-)] I can't wait to try the violas as well. They really did a great job on this from the little I have tried here in the studio.

I can easily see taking a few hours to really go through this one.
