Instant Steel String Guitars has expired. They're doing a new deal every 48 hours so this one is replacing the guitar one.
By the way I have the Agitato Sordino Strings from a previous sale (paid more than this though) and it's very good. It takes a bit of practice to make it sound realistic but the actual library sounds great, and is hard to beat for $18.
I haven't tried it (just bought it before i posted this), but I suspect that it will not be as good as the bigger (and more expensive) strings libraries like cinematic studio strings, or berlin strings, but for $18, it's hard not to buy it. :P
I wish they did this when they were younger (5 yr anniversary = $5?) :P
8dio have a stack of different string libraries. Their Century Strings are the latest ones but I haven't tried them.
I own the Adagietto ones - they're the basic set for simple compositions but less control/flexibility.
Adagio is the big brother with more samples, articulations, etc. I don't have this one.
Agitato are the specialty strings, including these sordino strings. They're not necessarily for general composition (although I think these are fine for it) but often are used for specific styles of composition.
There are heaps of amazing sounding string libraries out there but I balk at paying $700 for a string library, when it's just a hobby! Virtual instruments have a pretty low WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) in my experience.
@tophorus:
You should hear the demos on cinematic studio strings man. Best legato transitions at the moment, and definitely not a$700
But I completely get you about having it only as a hobby, and there are plenty of other priorities when you have a family
I have been wanting to get that CSS for some time, but couldn’t justify the cost as well, hopefully this $18 one can fill in for a good use in the mean time
I bought both so had not expired for me - must have just scraped in and managed to score both!
Thanks for this!
no prob
hopefully there'll be another interesting sale from 8dio tomorrow!
Also $18 (11,800 samples = 6.01GB) for Instant Steel String Guitars and New Forgotten Voices Francesca is also $18 (0.9GB)
