    Let's take a moment to appreciate Dom's amazing playing. No matter what library he plays (it could even be silent samples), he always finds the right piece to play, and way of playing it.

  • @marcelouz1
    @marcelouz1 Před 10 měsíci +11

    The piece you play at the beginning is part of the Monteverdi Orfeus opera. Incomparable genius of the late renaissance and early baroque music originally played in strings.

      EastWest has been killin it lately. Everyone is always excited about Spitfire/BBC and VSL. But to this day EW has the best brass Library by far. This new Fantasy String Library is the best Fantasy String Library I've ever heard. I just wish they would record an Ocarina and a Nickelharpa sometime in the future. What sets this library apart is the minimal noise level in the background and the clear crisp sound of every articulation. The low Celli is absolutely ridiculous in the Library and I haven't been able to stop playing it! 😂

    This is one of the videos that sold me on the library. I picked up the full set and a new NI S61 Mk3 keyboard. Now I’m trying to figure out how to use all this in Studio One 6. Can’t figure out how to use chord tracks with it, and can’t get a feel for setting the bpm to what I want to play. Lots of learning to do.

    Although the piece you play is from Monteverdi's Orfeo, I am sure you know the gems in Monteverdi's "L'Incoronazione di Poppea" are also incredible. The whole opera is amazing! And I bet would sound wonderful on this library!

  • @Cchogan
    @Cchogan Před rokem

    Okay, I have taken the plunge! There was an installation bug, but the team sorted it and I am now working through the library. Interesting that there are no "stage" position mics or "vintage". I also think it could do with a couple more instruments, for instance the nyckelharpa. The longer sounds are definitely improved by working the Expression controller. I am looking forward for the Woodwinds in June.

  • @Cchogan
    @Cchogan Před rokem

    I am interested what they are doing with the price. They have brought the intro price down TWICE since launch. Also, the various updates appear to be cheaper. ($99 each for brass, perc, orchestrator, etc). With the Orchestrator not coming out till the autumn, I wonder if the price will be revised yet again for the complete set. I would love this, but realistically, I think I will wait.
    I am currently creating a new Cubase template for myself for the current Hollywood Orchestra that focusses on keyswitching rather than having everything there at once! It also has all outputs routed ready (though only Main enabled) and I will probably do a dolby atmos variation at some point. But really, the fantasy library should be added too. If they get the price balance right, I suspect it will be popular.

    You play like a keyboardist, that’s why your examples doesn’t sound satisfactory. For exemple your insistence in left hands octaves that doesn’t exist in those instruments you are sampling. As a professional, you must do some research.

    • @DomSigalas
      @DomSigalas  Před 7 měsíci

      You miss the point. What I’m doing here is playing these libraries live. The instruments are played within their ranges. I have a masters in musicology trust me I am aware about ranges. This would be played by two musicians I just play them with both hands.
      Also, this is a fantasy piece not a renaissance or medieval music clone as I say on the video. If you research this kind of music then THIS is the sound you get by default.
      Nobody pretends that libraries can replace real musicians.
      Now if you think you can do this better on the keyboard, I’ll be waiting for your video. 😊
