KONTAKT - 17,2 GB
Light and Sound Chamber Strings is a highly detailed and flexible chamber string library (6,5,3,3,1) recorded by expert recording engineer, Debbie Smith, at Windmill Lane, Dublin. A range of exciting and revolutionary techniques for recording longs, as well as freshly conceived scripting concepts allowed the natural dynamic movements of the musicians to be maintained, while remaining playable and intuitive.

Windmill Lane is a uniquely wonderful scoring stage, used on many orchestral, film and TV projects. Utilising the dryness of the room, Light and Sound libraries feature multiple mic positions with natural air absorption. In line with the Light and Sound philosophy which celebrates maximum flexibility, the sound can be shaped more freely than with samples recorded in a more ambient environment.

To recreate the natural bleed of a real recording environment, the close mics of all sections were left open and set at their natural panning and levels while recording each instrument section. The "Bleeds" mic adds a unique and realistic flavour to mockups and compositions.



Features
For harnessing ultimate control over the timbre of all Light and Sound instruments, the "Split Slider" is a groundbreaking new feature which intelligently morphs the crossfading between dynamic layers in real time. Combined with a range of other features found in Light and Sound instruments, you truly have completely control over your compositions.

The demos sound promising (except the basses).

Anything that is NOT CheatFire/S*itLiar is much appreciated.

Exacly as bad as their first release of this library!

Charge € 272,80 (yeah I know it´s for sale - € 120 atm) for a string library that sounds so bad and has been scripted so awful is amazing - just MHO!!

You can get Spitfire Studio Strings for €249 <---- That makes much more sense to me!

Thanks for the test - appriciated
You can't have everything; where would you put it?

Interesting. I find Spitfire Chamber Strings to be only good for shorts and legato for me. Still can't figure out why they're so hyped. To each his own i guess.

Subject is chamber strings. Is there any better chamber string library than Spitfire ? or is there any library longs better than Spitfire ?

Light and Sound dont know how to make good string library. Short's too short, longs have too much release hearing like reverb, legato script is bad cause notes mixing also there is no slide/glide samples and layers very limited. If there is round robins then very limited cause there is machine gun effect. You cant play anything soft cause even with low velocity sounds like marcato (even with 0 modulation=softest velocity layer). They put many mics but still ambiance mics not hearing like real tree, decca ambiances.

Everything script-wise in this "Light and Sound Chamber Strings 2" is a disaster, and the sound recordings as well!

If you guys here are so impressed with this library I can recommend "Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra" which is a free orchestra!

And my comment was about Spitfire Chamber Strings. I don't know who told you that i am defending L&S Chamber Strings. I never said i like them better and i never said they sound great, so no need to write me a novel about how you broke up with them.
