SAMPLE TALK: the classical natural concert sound
As you know i had a radio broadcast for mockups. I have been compiling the best CLASSICAL mockups ever made. One of the future videos will be about this topic.
I noticed that cinematic studio strings and VSL are always there, next to the Spitfire orchestras. I think that – despite almost any library being able to achieve „a good realistic sound“ SOMEHOW – you should take this seriously, and perhaps me too, when it come to a standard classical concert sound. I don’t want to make you buy it, and I think the reverb and balance is so key still, but just trying some scientific observation here.

I personally achieved great results with low budget samples as I started. Curiously, not the full classical concert sound was my goal, but a mix with the studio sound. I heard too much about negative delay and CSS so I forgotten about it… A huge part of my template was made by an excellent free library that no one talks about and I gonna adress it.
Later i started flirting with EW again, and now I built a template exclusive for score input with cc, and I am considering to sell it on Patreon if i find it convincing. A test is shown on my Instagram.
Key take away:
If you have money consider this combo for a classic and natural sound: CSS + Mir Pro.
Now a big footnote: good sound doesn’t equal good workflow. For example the choice of cc11 for dynamics in EW instruments i find not good, since most libraries do this with cc1
