Hi, I was wondering if in the logic project you demonstrated in airstudioreverb, did strings use css? How do you set up the microphone? I feel that my css is a different sound than my own, yours is closer to the sound of the instrument record, and each of my strings sounds mushy together, my English is not particularly good, thank you

Do you know if the newer M Chips M2, M3, M4, the newer generations seemlessly run the software you have been using or are there issues. I bought a Mac Mini M4 16GB Ram 256GB SSD, and a 2TB SSD external Hard Drive. I would expect that the newer chips would not create problems.

Very cool I write rock music for fun and I have written dabbling with some orchestral peripherally in some of my music but I bought a mac mini thinking I would get deeper into orchestra music.

The great music made me forget the Mac mini !

Hello why my JV 880 no sound

Finally someone who uses this for audio production....incidentally Studio One is my go to DAW..Thanks Broh!!

Thanks for your honest and impartial review!

Beautiful. The arrow sound effect is very well done! And the ending gave me chills. This is added to my favorites.

I've been searching around for the right specs, and I'll see people say you need 196 GB of RAM or a 6k Mac Studio to run orchestral sample libraries, but that can't be it. I'm glad to see the 16gig M1 run as smoothly.

Well thank goodness the user manual is in it's proper place now.

Damn, this might be just as good or better than Izotope R4.

I’d really like to see how you switch to a new composition while keeping the instances alive. I’m having a load of trouble with this, maybe I’m doing something wrong.

this is such a cool sound love it

Thank you for making this video. I am in a very similar position, although I am a windows user. Do you have any advice or tips for building your own server to run VE Pro? It isn't something I have ever tried, but it sounds like a great solution if I can get my head around what is needed. Many thanks!!

Too many people overthinking it. If you're a creative producer and you can't make use of this fantastic tool something is wrong. 😎

Thanks, interesting!

I thought Audiogridder would help me but then I realized you can't automate on another computer, well that doesn't help me with Ableton live. I hope this helps with that.

It’s very nice. How you did it.?.. Can you send more details about it. ?

Bought a Bee Link pc about a year ago. Now I can hear the fan in every room in my house. Have to retire it.

My first Spitfire library also. Fantastic and also moody. You have good tastes sir.

There's so much more under the bonnet of this plugin, and sounds fantastic if you know what you're doing. It's great and importat that you can adjust the EQ on each instance, brlliant piece of kit. It puts the instruments in the room and makes them come alive. Worth every penny. 8Dio choirs, Adastra, Majestica, and Soundpaint libraries, Noire, Woodchester Piano, Midnight Grand, all sound fantastic. Of course, the danger is not to create a space within a space. Close mic's need to be backed off a bit within the orchestral plugins. After all, players instruments do not come with their own built in reverb, do they!

Well, it did not just come in a bikini. So, take U time.

A good video, but you forgot one thing: Using only close mics with IRs always doesnt sound very good. You need to get a fair mix between Tree and Close to get a somewhat "good" sound, im not a big fan of IRs, only for tails its somewhat usable. I always prefer working with the room tone a library already has, except if the rome tone is completely different to a library i would like to use alongside.

gave up listening after 5 minutes. You were talking over the very end of the reverb tails. wtf.

Great First Look video!! Thanks for that valuable comparison - especially showing the effect on a full track!:) I really like the combination of two reverbs. May I ask you which preset of Cinematic Rooms you are using in this example? And do you always use predelay on both reverbs?

Unfortunatley there is no Demo version. I am quite dissapionted with the BBC Orchestra. Bugs, and when needed problems with loading ....etc. So it´s nice to have it on my external harddrive....for nothing.

VSL still far superior, and so are the liquidsonics plugins. This one is nice but not practical, because it needs a really, really expensive computer to be able to run it on individual tracks, that's also why they won't let you trial it.

great - thank you

Helpful content. Thanks. What is the orchestral software you are using?

yeah ... I would love to hear compared to a couple of reverbs .... yeah I was also impressed ...

Thank you - very helpful!

Very fine composition and arrangement!! It sounded cleanest with Spitfire solo 😊💙💛

This might be a good piece of software but what Spitfire does not understand is that it does not fit with their original approach of focusing on recording their libraries very wet, within the particular hall they chose. While other companies, such as VSL especially, but also others like Audiobro, Cinematic Studio Series to name a few have chosen smaller, more direct sound. These libraries become the perfect candidate to be properly processed later with any reverb of your choice much easier and sounding more natural. With that being said, Spitfire have put themselves into a corner. You can’t expect under any circumstances to take a close mic recording which captures all the detail of a close proximity that you would otherwise never hear and stick that into a convolution reverb (or any reverb for that matter) expecting it to sound natural. It will not. It is fundamentally wrong from a recording perspective, mixing perspective, listener perspective, you name it. You need a source that is free of detail, has natural tone that can only be captured from a further distance. Don’t believe me? Try sticking your ear right next to a playing guitar or piano or any instrument. Stay at around one foot away but not more with one ear pointed at the source and shut your other one with your hand. This is what a single close mic “hears” too. It will be unnatural as it will lack the detail that our brain will always look for to determine certain information that defines a source. In recording theory spot mics have always been used as an additional source that can be gently blended into and not used as a main source of information. That’s not how our hearing works. Thank you for demonstrating this product additionally to what Spitfire is trying to show us!

Great input, love your presentation!

This sounds very nice. I thought it would give the same vibe as the libraries recorded by Spitfire in the hall, but it doesn't

Altiverb is still years ahead of this but I like where they are headed

Is it the same as the Vienna Mir Pro 3D?

Thank you very much for your video, Blake. The only question I have so far is whether you can put the source in the galleries. So far both Paul and you only have put the source under the canopy. It would be nice to know, as Hans does place instruments up in the galleries in some scores to get more height/a more distant sound to the mix.

Came from the Air studios review because I loved that small section you showed for this song in that video! I loved this track T.T

Can you share your thoughts on why you have Cinematic Rooms Pro + Air Studios Reverb both active? I saw a couple of people mentioning this method 🤔 Also question, what machine are you on, how's the cpu taxing with Air Studios Reverb?

Thank you for showing what the full orchestra sounds like!

Pretty "doggo"ne good, eh?

can I connect this to my Korg MicroKorg Synth? Or maybe my MicroKorg already has these sounds from the JV-880? And it also seems like a few of my Yamaha keyboards have these sounds as well.

sounds like the ending of a very big film!!!! great work!!!!

Thanks for this video! Helped me make my decision.

Should put affiliate link to get some $

Hey grizzled musician, I recently discovered your channel and have found it sooo helpful! I am wanting to upgrade from a MacBook Pro 2015 and am hoping to pick up up an M3 MacBook pro Max and am trying to decide between the 36GB 14 core option, vs 48GB with 1TB SSD. I was initially wondering if the 36GB might be a bit tight for use with sound libraries, but now seeing you run a Mac mini with 16GB, I am now not so sure that 48GB is necessary. My main main Daw is Logic Pro and I am hoping to get some of the spitfire and East west Sample libraries. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you😄

Finally a video that answers my practicality Questions...My Old HP Z 800 with double cpu has to go...the Energy consumption isn't worth it anymore...so I was very skeptical about these mini PCs. Guess I am old now! Amazing tech. Thanks for sharing!

so 16gb ram was enough to run 400 track project. damn

The composition was great!
