Really useful demonstration and explanation Beautiful composition too

Thanks for sharing these insights. You emphasize the importance of the human touch in samples and managed greatly to let those details shine even in the Spitfire Symphonic Strings. So I was shocked of the clean string machine sound of the new ARO Symphonic Strings -even in Your presentation. Buyed them and love it now, but use it only with mixes Mids and Close (in Your great AIR reverb), to save the last remaining humanity in this library, but don't understand the thoughts behind that concept. Anyway, I enjoy seeing You taking more time now to compose and be close to your roots (and Your customers ;-) ). Have fun.

last year YT feeds me a Talented Lady who Sings Japanese Minyo - Asakura Saya 朝倉さや from Yamagata prefecture, she keeps and re-invent the traditional Minyo all over 47 prefectures and lifted to other level, hope Spitfire Audio will issue a New Lib. from her.

Great video - thanks Paul!

Very Barber's Adagio for Strings.

Love the breakdown video! Always interesting to see workflow and thought process from an experienced pro like yourself. Thanks!

For very free-flowing and organic timing, I find the constraints of time signatures in sequencer's very challenging, particularly if you want to start by just playing something in. How does one even map such performances to beats and bars and time signatures and tempos, after the fact... especially if there are lots of intuitive pauses, or notes that you would intuitively time early or late to introduce tension and feel? I'd be curious about your thoughts on this. BTW. I've been having fun working with the SSO and appreciate your videos.

what is the piano??

Fantastic story Paul Thanks for sharing and carry on with the great work.

Gorgeous!

Epic mate !

This is pretty cool! But.... some people have mentioned wanting to use their BBCSO library with this. The thing is, those kinds of libraries already come with reverb from a different space, as opposed to drier libraries such as Studio Strings so, I wonder, how to use wet libraries with this plugin without turning them into a mushy mess? What settings would you use, both on this and, say, on BBCSO?

17:24 this sounds really good!

Really interesting... thanks for sharing your journey :)

So Spitfire kind of started on VI-C? That's really cool!

Thanks for sharing your backstory! Well done, Paul!

Interesting story, Paul - thanks for sharing! BTW, purchased the album and sample library. Really enjoy listening to the variety of songs included - and the sample library is a nice bonus.

Very inspiring, Paul, thank you for sharing your sampling journey with us ❤

Such a fantastic journey. Thanks for sharing, Paul.

Awesome Paul - thanks for the insights! "More complicated solutions..." LOL

Thank you for this interesting video, Paul. Isn't it paradoxical to say "make your own sounds, your own samples to sound unique" and having developped a business to provide ready made sample libraries ? ( 😄just for the sake of discussion, don't get me wrong, I'm one of your happy client)

This was really great, Paul. Love hearing the how of it all!

Love to hear your stories. Love your book!

Are you planning to do a Logic session breakdown of any of your tracks from Journeys? It would be great to find out exactly where and how you used your own samples. And a totally unrelated question: At 2:50 is that Trevor Morris in the middle row of the Class of 99?!

Thanks for sharing part of your life story Paul! This was quite fascinating to hear. I liked your assertion about recording the room with samples to give them more life. I've read quite a few write-ups and books by the masterful Bob Katz and he made the same argument that you get more realism from recordings with the real room as opposed to trying to put them into a fake room convincingly with reverb. Also loved the tip on using extra studio time! 👍

Awesome to hear of you, Paul!

I love the story but can I have the distressors at my doorstep please ? 🤣🤣❤(also the appassionata Violins 1 and Violins 2 from BBC pro works literally 105%)

Thanks for sharing Paul. Its very interesting to hear your story and how sampling evolved as you did too. I also really liked the example of Genius of charles darwin with the wine glasses. It sounds so warm and mysterious. And also the Journeys - cello drone also. Dark, with a dune feeling. Sound nice. I might take use of it.

Which microphone are you using in this video dear Paul brother ??

Amazing video. I have learned a lot from it and will try to make my own guitar instrument. BTW download is not available anymore. It says Transfer expired. Sorry, this transfer has expired and is not available any more

That is amazing! I can not wait to get my hands on this.

Awesome video Paul. thanks for sharing.

32:15 daaaaamn

Thank you Paul....insane

Great video Paul -- it's lovely seeing that you follow generally the same procedure as us regular folk !!!!

Now do one for the free Decent Sampler plugin.

Thank you so much for sharing this 😊

Thanks Paul for a very useful video.

I too prefer ProTools for sample editing, I am on Windows so no Logic option for me, but Cubase, which is not bad, but PT wins hands down. Also, better to untick Absolute path when saving the Kontakt instrument, that will prevent Kontakt complaining about not finding the samples if you ever have to move your instrument to a different folder/disk. I like to put my samples in a different folder so that everything is neatly organised, and also I need to start putting the instruments into their own folder as well 🙃

Nice James Trussart Telly there!

This is such a useful video, thanks for making it! I appreciate that you share knowledge like this even when it isn't directly tied to sample library promotions :)

Whoa!

Thanks for this! Impeccable timing as I was just thinking about looking up a video of this exact topic and here you are with the upload.

Excellent video Paul. Thanks! Off to make my sample....

Great demo, but I'd REALLY like a trial before buying this. Aside from making sure the verb would work with a variety of instruments; CPU usage is one question I have. THANKS!

And definitely Kontakt is a pain in the tailbone when you compare to EXS24/Logic Sampler... 😁 When I make my own sample instruments I almost never use Kontakt. Too 90s for me .

Nice video!❤☕️

God I hate Logic so much...so freaking much especially when the word ''Kontakt'' is in the equation .Although I use it often in friends studios because they can't live without it (!!) .But other than that great video man ❤

Hi Paul...When I pan within the GUI, i do not hear any changes at all...does the plugin change the pan of the DAW...similar to how MIR works? Thanks. Sounding great otherwise.

Nice addition of Laney amp. :) Great choice. ;)
