Really nice!!!! I just put this on a track with Albion Tundra because that is what it reminds me of. It layers very nice. Love the libraries you are coming up with, Ben. Keep up the great work!!!
Man this is outstanding. I like the way your mind works in terms of breaking things down logically and packaging the expressions up in a simple efficient user interface that just makes perfect sense.
What a sound!, , great library, & congratulations Ben for the great work, and I hope you’ll manage in the future to spread it across all the possible platforms.
Hi Ben I’ve just bought your latest cello instrument for Kontakt and it really is superbly versatile….. I was promoted to revisit previous libraries you have produced and had forgotten how good they are…plan no is to produce an ensemble from your creations. I will let you know when I post the composition …🙏🙏🏿👍🎩👏👏🦄
Really nice sound, I am really excited when I hear the bow changed which is not noticed by lot of manufacturers. Why not make legato strings with different bow change mode?
Hi Yuyao, I'm just seeing this now --I don't check TH-cam comments very often. Thanks! I haven't done much legato except for Oscillation Strings, which uses a special kind of legato.
Quick question: For the swells (which have a bow change at the climax), if you have the sync feature on and change notes halfway through the swell, will the library play the decrescendo portion of the sample on the second note? I've been searching for a library that will do that for ages. Keep up the good work. I've enjoyed playing pattern strings and string flow cello.
Ben Osterhouse Perfect! Time to purchase. In case you’re taking input on new library ideas, I’d love a library with melodic ostinatos. I’m thinking alternating intervals-major/ minor 3rds and 2nds, perhaps 4ths and 5ths time permitting. It’s a staple of a lot of minimalist scores (Richter, Olafur etc).
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! For the recording I just picked as dry a space as possible and focused on getting the best close mic position and playing style.
Hi Ben, I purchased Sospiro Strings from lootaudio in 2020. I have 2 questions. I'm still on version 1.1 and wanted to know if after updating to version 1.5, the instances will load correctly in my projects? Second question, Is there a way to get the 1.5 version without using the Pulse software? Unfortunately, i've had really bad experiences with Pulse on my system. I hope for your understanding.
Hi, thanks for reaching out. Just seeing this now (Needed to turn notifications on). If you'd like to follow up on this, you could shoot an email through the contact form on osterhousesounds.com.
This is awesome. I know you programmed this natively for Kontact but is there any possibility to convert it to VST? Maybe a fundraiser? I know, I know, I’m just an optimistic. Anyway, this is incredible, congratulations, I wish I was a Kontact user only for this.
I've been thinking about making this one player compatible so it works with the free version of Kontakt, but I'm not sure yet, and there are some things to possibly revise before I do that.
hi ben love the sound of your sospiro strings...a quick question how big is the download as I cant see it on kontakt hub...also is there any discounts if I buy two or more of your products...cheers and keep doing what your doing
Thanks! For size, it's 3.19GB. There are a few discounts coming up soon on Kontakthub. Also if you haven't checked out vstBuzz, there's a really good deal on String Flow now.
@@ben-osterhouse Great! I will try to wait... You sir are very clever to have figured all this sampling and coding out like you did. And play each instrument alone. Huge respect! Please make some more. You would make a terrific team with David Hollowitz. I know you specialise in strings, but do you plan on doing some brass or woodwinds libraries in the future, just for fun. Maybe with a collaboration. Could be nice. Just saying... thanks again and I will follow your next realeases for sure.

Good to hear. Thank you!

Thanks! A lot of thought went into keeping it simple.
@@ben-osterhouse I can tell.
I just picked up the Sospiro Strings and the Gamba. They sound amazing. Really unique I think.
Me too :0)

Great!
Incredible stuff, Ben. So well sampled/recorded.
Thank you!
I cried man, Holy shit... that was emotive alright.
Fantastic work once more. I love it.
Thank you!

Yes, as long as the notes overlap.

Thanks! I've been playing with some ideas similar to what you're describing.
I felt in love with this library! Ben may i ask you where it was recorded? It sounds AMAZING...
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! For the recording I just picked as dry a space as possible and focused on getting the best close mic position and playing style.
Absolutely brilliant and currently stupidly cheap on Plug-in boutique. Can we buy from you direct?
Just seeing this now. Thanks! The best place to buy it would be from Loot Audio.
Awesome! Could have used these when I worked on Miscreated for that "Dead Island" sound.
And that’s a buy!

I think I was using The Grandeur for the piano.

@@ben-osterhouse i grabbed sospiro and viola da gamba the other day and they are great..will grab a few more of your libraries soon...cheers
@@ben-osterhouse Hi Ben, do you know when there will be another sale for Sospiro Strings? Black Friday maybe? Amazing sound! Thanks
@@jonathanbougie-lauzon4583 Thankyou! It is 3.19 GB. I'm not actually sure about sales, but I'm sure it will go on sale sometime this fall or winter.
