Much better, thank you.IMO
Because
1. This excerpt does not a good job of representing the main focus of both libraries, in practice most
ect...
Joking aside, get MSS and use Close Mics.Enough of this. Here's a far more important question. Should I get LASS and spend the next few years trying to alchemize it into what I want?
Went ahead and quickly hammered out the lick from the below video in SCS so you can hear how the molto vib layer punches through.How's the strongest vibrato layer of SCS against Elite Strings? I am still waiting to hope to hear an example of a soaring line of Elite Strings with max vibrato to hear how it sounds.
Have to agree. I'm hearing a sound in Elite that I have not heard out of any sample library to date. And, VSL has elevated scripting to an art form.I own both Elite and SCS, I’d say Elite really set the standard of what chamber sized string should be like. With VSL’s Synchron Player, you can really create any presets that tailored to your workflow.
Sound wise I’m much preferred Elite over SCS, the multi mics of Elite open the endless possibilities to sculpture the sound, from lush to intimate.
And of course there’s no doubt regarding the superd playability of VSL libraries.
It seems to me there are lots of "new" libraries coming out all the time, but not all developers are figuring out new things to do, or are they raising the bar. We're kind of at a point where the technology is somewhat mature. We've had good libraries/tools to work with for some time now. I'm at a point now where I've got so many libraries, I look for reasons to talk myself out of buying new ones. Everyone's mileage may vary, but the sound of Elite really impressed me. I really like the warmth, presence and the depth of resonance. I can really hear those wooden instrument bodies vibrating. For VSL, I also think it's an interesting contrast to their Dimension Strings, which I've always liked, but thought they were on the bright side of the scale (which is certainly useful in the right context).Elite is def more high quality in sound, but it makes sense considering it's what I consider one of the first
"new gen" libraries, where we're basically starting to approaching absurd detail in the samples.
Hi, any chance you could show us a short example comparison between VSL Chamber strings and Elite? Or at least talk a bit more about your impressions about it? I do have the VSL Chamber strings, trying to decide about Elite...imho. VSL Synchron Elite Strings is the best sounding VSL Strings Library at this time, and It sounds much better than VSL Chamber Stings, and Spitfire Chamber Strings.
I use a lot Synchronized DS Strings to beef up other VSL Synchron Strings or Note performer 3 Audio exported and that the best Strings Library I ever found for this task, whatsoever working with the Synchron Player with whole released Synchron Strings, I and Pro makes me happy, surely will I add the elite strings to the VSL palette.It seems to me there are lots of "new" libraries coming out all the time, but not all developers are figuring out new things to do, or are they raising the bar.

I think Elite has that “responsive” legato you don’t prefer, where the transitions happen almost instantly. I’m not doing another MSS with Elite!What about some music @ all the library owners? I'm still missing a real walkthrough, especially for the legatos.
I think it’s got great sound. I also hear the criticisms of the legato for “romantic” passages, where it becomes a little challenge to connect all of the intervals into a phrase the way a musician would, but I still am glad I have Elite.It seems to me there are lots of "new" libraries coming out all the time, but not all developers are figuring out new things to do, or are they raising the bar.

I have no problem with this, I'm an absolute VSL fanboy and have nearly everything from their catalogue. Prefer VI libraries though. Think it's still the best legato.I think Elite has that “responsive” legato you don’t prefer, where the transitions happen almost instantly. I’m not doing another MSS with Elite!
Can you elaborate on the "scripting" feature. I'm a newb and potential buyer.Have to agree. I'm hearing a sound in Elite that I have not heard out of any sample library to date. And, VSL has elevated scripting to an art form.
