    The fact I bought this in one of their sales and never. looked. back.
    My god this is one of the most beautiful sample libraries literally ever

  • @jhardindrums
    @jhardindrums ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Really love the amount of articulations! Been wanting to expand my library for some dedicated solo strings to use in compositions - this would be a killer addition!

  • @cherrysound
    @cherrysound ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow! Such an impressive sound is in this library! Thank you for this deep dive into it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  • @TravEllerZero
    @TravEllerZero ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this video. This is an instrument I've been interested in for awhile, so I appreciate you showcasing it.

  • @AndromedaX8
    @AndromedaX8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That's a really beautiful solo violin! It's awesome that there are 5 different moods for the legato, I think I especially like the emotive style! This would fit really well into the music I like to write. It's also great that it includes other articulations as well and I actually really like that it comes in a dedicated plugin. Thank you for your great review Chris! :)

  • @1teodebeo
    @1teodebeo ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I'm 61 years old now and creating a stunning rendition of Danse Macabre by Saint-Saëns is on my bucketlist. The whole backing track is finished but no virtual solo violin has cut it so far. I have this sumption that the Bohemian Violin could finally help me out..🤞

    • @dgcmusi
      @dgcmusi 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Let us know if you bought it 💥

  • @FFStudioMy
    @FFStudioMy ปีที่แล้ว

    This is great for highlighting the solo part in a song. Naissss sounding solo. Good job!

  • @lachocolatchaud
    @lachocolatchaud ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This library sounds so good! I'd honestly use it for most of my stuff, its very versatile and would fit in well with many moods and styles.

  • @extraplanarmusic5792
    @extraplanarmusic5792 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I heard this in someone's piece a few months back and its was incredibly impressive. I've wanted it since to use in some of my more mellow, lyrical compositions. Great review as always!

  • @mbaudio2574
    @mbaudio2574 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love this instrument and I would certainly use it extensively in my orchestral work. Thanks for reviewing it Chris.

  • @fearlessfreddy1000
    @fearlessfreddy1000 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I've been searching for an appropriate solo instrument for my favorite projects. this is what I need. It's sounds like a virtual instrument that could actually leave blood, sweat, and tears on the stage floor.

    • @DanaVastman
      @DanaVastman 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Exactly! It IS! I've used it on many songs and they do leave me in tears... Good ones...❤️

  • @Prodzechezra
    @Prodzechezra ปีที่แล้ว

    This sounds extremely beautiful

  • @GuilleSacido
    @GuilleSacido ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice video Christopher! Sounds greattt would love to add it to my orchestral template

  • @jackyagerlinemusic5117
    @jackyagerlinemusic5117 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a beautiful library, thanks for the great review! I would probably use this for soloistic passages and delicate moments in the fantasy inspired orchestral music that I write :)

  • @rbingraham
    @rbingraham ปีที่แล้ว

    Sounds fantastic. Thanks for looking into these libraries. I've been wondering about how they sound and how well they work since they invested a lot of time in building their own plug in and reworking all these instruments.

  • @embereyes
    @embereyes ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been interested in this library for years but haven't been able to invest as yet. I'd use this library on everything! I remember watching a Daniel James stream years ago composing using this library, and I remember being blown away by it! All the best Chris

  • @Makotae777
    @Makotae777 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really amazing sound. I love how expressive and responsive it is. Would love to use it. Seems quite versatile and would work well in a lot of what I like to write.

  • @christiangarcia01
    @christiangarcia01 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome library, I would love this for more quiet pieces such an emotive instrument

  • @seungwonlee8704
    @seungwonlee8704 ปีที่แล้ว

    Such a lovely virtuoso solo sound

  • @NelsonSantoni
    @NelsonSantoni ปีที่แล้ว

    It's on my wishlist since I've discovered it a few months ago! I think it would be perfect to be my go-to solo violin for most of my scoring projects!

  • @nigelandreola
    @nigelandreola ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Switching between fingered legato and rebow with up and down bow samples is a great feature and sounds super convincing! I've been looking for a violin vi that can do this. Thank you for the review. :)

  • @fs6263
    @fs6263 ปีที่แล้ว

    The versatile articulations sound like a great addition to any template. The clear sound would be great to add realism to a string ensemble, making it appear more lifelike.

  • @jobvankuppeveld400
    @jobvankuppeveld400 ปีที่แล้ว

    Im just in love with the sound of a solo violin! And this one especially sounds sooo special to me!! I would love to do a Schindler's list mockup with this one🤩

  • @StevieG777
    @StevieG777 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have their cello and love it. I’d love the violin to fill out my compositions. Nice review Christopher.

  • @InfiniteAO
    @InfiniteAO ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I would love to use this for a symphonic suite - like you say, the Joshua Bell solo violin is great, superb even, but very specific and I agree, sometimes simplicity is king - this was a really nice walkthrough and the musical motifs you sprinkled throughout this video were also really enjoyable! (:

  • @la2z029l
    @la2z029l ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the sound. Great alternative to Joshua Bell Violin. Hope I can get this for my birthday! This will be great for my next emotive music!

  • @SnakehornMusic
    @SnakehornMusic ปีที่แล้ว

    My go-to solo violin has always been the Emotional/Intimate Violin from Harmonic Subtones but, this may soon take it's place. Thanks for the review! Sounds amazing!

  • @lesfuller5984
    @lesfuller5984 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another nice run though Chris! I've seen many people saying great things about this one. Versatile and a little bit different to other solo violin libraries.

  • @JohanSamuel
    @JohanSamuel ปีที่แล้ว

    Had my eyes on this library for a while now, it sounds amazing.
    Would love to layer it above some string ensemble.

  • @aleksamrkela831
    @aleksamrkela831 ปีที่แล้ว

    Virharmonic is amazing when it comes to both the sound and its playability; no corners cut. Glad you gave it a go! ;)

  • @AdrianKuipers
    @AdrianKuipers ปีที่แล้ว

    It is really touching. I would love to use it in combination with my piano compositions. 🙏🏼

  • @Fabrizio.deitos-navalesi
    @Fabrizio.deitos-navalesi ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome library ! I would use it as solo violin to texture the string section of BBCSO Pro or just for melodic part 😀. Great review as always !

  • @paulthiebaut
    @paulthiebaut ปีที่แล้ว

    This is definitely one of the best violin solo library out there ! Since it sounds quite dry, with just a bit of mixing, it should allow it to blend in any orchestral piece very nicely.

  • @jowisenv2
    @jowisenv2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This violin has so much character I love it

  • @thedolorpolar
    @thedolorpolar ปีที่แล้ว

    This would really suit any piece as a true upfront soloist. Beautiful sounds and good legatos

  • @iancurrie3763
    @iancurrie3763 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love this style of playing, the vibrant vibrato appeals to me. I’d love to use this to mock-up 1950s style pieces from Heifetz etc,

  • @bandbyoneMIDI
    @bandbyoneMIDI ปีที่แล้ว

    This is nice. Would make a great emotional impact on any track.

  • @blueglassbottles
    @blueglassbottles ปีที่แล้ว

    I can see myself using this for some gypsy jazz and the number of articulations is great!

  • @stationorchestra
    @stationorchestra ปีที่แล้ว

    Really versatile and powerful solo violin!

  • @jrettetsohyt1
    @jrettetsohyt1 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great! Thanks so much! Now you gotta do Harmonic Subtone’s Emotional Violin!! And finally, a comparison of these too 3 violins. Thanks!

  • @stephanelarocque77
    @stephanelarocque77 ปีที่แล้ว

    My favorite violon and the cello is great too. They gonna have a viola soon.

  • @paulosinetti
    @paulosinetti ปีที่แล้ว

    A good "all purpose" violin library! Even when using chamber formation, it sounds very nice.

  • @aryehlitt2787
    @aryehlitt2787 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This violin has an incredibly clear tone. It reminds me of something from Lord of The Rings. I would definitely use it in an orchestral or solo context, it certainly has that flexibility.

  • @dannythekey1
    @dannythekey1 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love this! Would use it solo melodically in front of a piano accompaniment!

  • @sircadogan6362
    @sircadogan6362 ปีที่แล้ว

    One thing that my template is lacking.. a good solo violin. The sound quality of this instrument will blend perfectly with my orchestra and would put that extra splash of color when needed! Thanks for this giveaway and overview!

  • @PytoX
    @PytoX ปีที่แล้ว

    It's a really great violin! also btw they have also the cello which recently came out and soon a viola is coming 🙂

  • @nickrozzell2841
    @nickrozzell2841 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would use this library for string quartets and piano trios which I love composing for

  • @wavynocturne
    @wavynocturne ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been looking for some good reviews on this Violin vst, Only to hear more of this Vst. Definitely a lovely tone. I've been wanting to get this one for awhile since It really works nicely for my compositional style

  • @dbmusicproductions9181
    @dbmusicproductions9181 ปีที่แล้ว

    There is no one solo instrument that replaces all solo instruments, but this would be a nice addition to my library. I don’t really have a dedicated solo violin library yet.

  • @normal.username
    @normal.username ปีที่แล้ว

    Sounds nice, with some nice variety in play style. Obviously I'd use this as a distinct solo instrument. Probably in a metal or ambient drone setting.

  • @imbliss2
    @imbliss2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! It would be nice to play long soaring melody lines.

  • @mgmax_00_14
    @mgmax_00_14 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've discovered this library a few weeks ago, but it's still a little outside my price range since i am mostly using free libraries. I'd love to use it for all kinds of orchestral pieces, or just as solo violin with a piano accompaniment.

  • @m4ciekw
    @m4ciekw ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't have good solo instruments so I would use this library as a solo violin along with bbcso. I hope that would be a good combination. Thanks for the review. 👏👏👏

  • @estolad
    @estolad ปีที่แล้ว

    A solo violin always comes in handy, hopefully it would be a go-to when needing a violin.

  • @henrikpetersson3463
    @henrikpetersson3463 ปีที่แล้ว

    These are amazing. The violin is the only library that has been able to impress my violinist friends.
    Bought them on release and they were amazing then, even better now.
    The most realistic results with the least amount of effort compared to other libraries.
    But it does have some quirks of course, and it is a bit over the top in some settings. But it’s worth the money many times over in my opinion.
    Waiting for the viola. But they are quite slow with their development so I might have to wait for some time. But with the result they get it is truly worth it.
    Funny that you were scared of it not being a Kontakt library. To me that’s a big plus. 😄
    They actually said that they would not be able to do this in Kontakt.
    I’m a bit sad that they left UVI, but I appreciate the much improved loading time.

  • @RegisCaron
    @RegisCaron ปีที่แล้ว

    The amount of sensitivity you can reach on this solo instrument is pretty impressive

  • @tylerskrovemusic
    @tylerskrovemusic ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a library I've been looking at for a long time, but the price always made me hesitate as I don't have a ton of pocket money at the moment. However, I couldn't pass up on the chance to win it for free. It sounds amazing!

  • @micheleduritto
    @micheleduritto ปีที่แล้ว

    Simply the most "fool me" violin sample library and also it seems super easy to play and program.
    What i would use it for?......every solo exposed violin part most likely...like every one of them.
    Also thanks for the video and thanks for the giveaway, and good luck everyone.

  • @ricardodasilva9184
    @ricardodasilva9184 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is perfect for playing improv even, great fluency.

  • @benoitgeorges7927
    @benoitgeorges7927 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow my favorite violin !!! Expricivity seems to be easy to play with their engine . Cello is also wonderfull 👍

  • @romualdphillip666
    @romualdphillip666 ปีที่แล้ว

    First of all, thanks for these giveaways. I’m going for this one and if I were to win it this would be my very first solo violin library. Seeing that it offers so much I guess it could even be used as an all purpose solo violin library that would fit well in various genres.

  • @Gustavarts
    @Gustavarts ปีที่แล้ว

    would love to win this library to combine with my solo cello to add emotion to a piece!

  • @gebla5189
    @gebla5189 ปีที่แล้ว

    This would just be my workhorse solo violin. The expression is amazing.

  • @maplefoxx6285
    @maplefoxx6285 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I looked into this a long time ago it looks really nice how the performer works similar to josh bell violin, different tone completely, I like how this library can turn into an ensemble as well. Very useful library that I think anyone into this stuff would love to have. Their Cello is supposed to be upgraded sometime as well isn't it?

    • @DanaVastman
      @DanaVastman 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Cello is upgraded. Viola is soon to come out and available at a very good price at this point. They are by far the most expressive of all instruments. I spent many thousands on string libraries. This is in a class by itself

  • @dk60ish
    @dk60ish ปีที่แล้ว

    I first learned of this library in 2020 & that early version sounded great, so it's mind-boggling how such the perfect sounding solo violin sample library has flown under-the-radar for so long, maybe due to it being non-Kontakt or Joshua Bell sounding like the end-all be-all so no need to look for anything else, but in this case that's the wrong mindset!

  • @akihirvikangas
    @akihirvikangas ปีที่แล้ว

    I really like to write for solo violin but it is very hard to get even mediocre sound with cheap libraries. This looks very versatile and would be a huge leap forward!

  • @ld3263
    @ld3263 ปีที่แล้ว

    So realistic the best bank in this category with their cellos. I would use for many styles but right now more for wedding music. ^^

  • @jaredwalker9325
    @jaredwalker9325 ปีที่แล้ว

    Could definitely use this if I wrote a period or fantasy score🙌

  • @stevegalante
    @stevegalante ปีที่แล้ว

    Sounds pretty nice, I'd like it to compare it to other libraries

  • @N-JKoordt
    @N-JKoordt ปีที่แล้ว

    Usefull where ever a solo violin is needed - in the more classical style.

  • @MrOpus17
    @MrOpus17 ปีที่แล้ว

    My Wife will reach this year her 30th birthday and I wonder whether I can write some string quartet for her! This library will definitelly helps me to reach romantic, intimate vibe of my orchestration

  • @Cherry_Blossom272
    @Cherry_Blossom272 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been making orchestral music for 2 ish years and i've just come out of collage. i'd love to have a more upfront at emotive violin plugin for my work.

  • @Roan256
    @Roan256 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would use this for passionate solo performances that I want to stand out a little bit in front of everyone else.

  • @c-c-laurin-lenschow
    @c-c-laurin-lenschow ปีที่แล้ว

    Had my eyes on this for a while, but never pulled the trigger due to the high price. Seems to be absolutely worth it though!

  • @ChrisMuellerMusic
    @ChrisMuellerMusic ปีที่แล้ว

    I‘ve already got the violin and it is AMAZING. I featured it in the emotive mode in the only one song I have released on my channel on TH-cam. I’d love if you listened to it and told me your opinion.
    It is easy to use and sounds good right out of the box. The automatic articulations are a breeze and one can just focus on playing. I am looking forward to the viola and I will get it with the cello on the same time.

  • @alfredohuerta7039
    @alfredohuerta7039 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sounds like I could really use some of those articulations in my music!

  • @alexibanez1096
    @alexibanez1096 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would use this together with Bohemian Cello in my music.

  • @jakeskate1998
    @jakeskate1998 ปีที่แล้ว

    i would really love to win this and have it become my new go to violin. its so deep and theres so much you can do. I currently have spitfire solo violin, i dont love it and i dont find the tone to be super great. This would be a big upgrade for me

  • @ImTehPhilip
    @ImTehPhilip ปีที่แล้ว

    I could really use some of those articulations in my music!

  • @PJ-ee5mc
    @PJ-ee5mc 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hey Chris. I am enjoying my new Bohemian Violin very much. Thank you for your demonstration. My only disappointment is that it does not appear to be 'NKS compatible' (works with Native instruments). I have the new Native Instruments S61 Mk lll Keyboard on its way which has very powerful features for working with not only its own N.I. libraries but also 3d part libraries. The only catch is that they must be 'NKS compatible'. I wondered if you had any insight into this.

  • @electedmusic7685
    @electedmusic7685 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello friend, one question, can you select, for example, legatos, and have them remain permanently marked? I would like to play the selected legato, but without having to hold the key down with my finger all the time, do you know how to keep it fixed?

  • @theinvitation1198
    @theinvitation1198 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi Chris, I'd really appreciate it if you could answer this - Does the Bohemian violin have multiple dynamic layers? Has Virharmonic recorded the instrument at different volumes, so it has a silky soft feel when quiet then a more sharp and bold feel when louder? This is my only gripe with some other solo libraries from other companies, they have excellent legatos etc, but either no authentic dynamic layers or dynamic layers which aren't smooth, so you have less control. So my question is does this violin have smooth dynamic layers? Many thanks!

  • @zofo264
    @zofo264 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sounds like the violin from Schindler's List. I would love to use this in my orchestral pieces :)

  • @johnnythomas-compositeur9634
    @johnnythomas-compositeur9634 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It's the best for long notes indeed! But the best violin sample library for short notes is Solisti from Salm Audio Tools! Three short articulations that flow together perfectly! 3264 real samples, 16 round robins and a purely dry sound! 😎

  • @gurumajuindonesia
    @gurumajuindonesia ปีที่แล้ว

    which one is better compared to SWAM? this one sounds amazing too

  • @julianokhoshaba1
    @julianokhoshaba1 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Can this do micro tuning ? And I don't see pitch bend wheel cab you use pitch bend wheel of an external keyboard controller ?

  • @moreausylvain
    @moreausylvain 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    it's fully sample base correct ?

  • @DanaVastman
    @DanaVastman 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yes.... Joshua Bell is pretty close but for ultimate expressiveness... THIS is the one. Virharmonic has continued to refine and update their products over the past several years. Updates are free! It's an amazing small company creating wonderful instruments like no other.

    • @mystylez5687
      @mystylez5687 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Have u tried Taylor Davis violin library? I think is the best

  • @JDH_MUSIC
    @JDH_MUSIC ปีที่แล้ว

    Pretty good - but I still think Vienna Instruments solo violin is the best. I bought it way back in 2013 I think

  • @AhmedBehiry
    @AhmedBehiry 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    don't you feel the legatos are a bit out of tune? .. the Bohemian Cello is perfect.. I just don't know why the violin and viola can't be the same !

  • @isleofdeath
    @isleofdeath ปีที่แล้ว

    Hm, strange, I subscribed but got not informed. And again missed the give away. And now I GIVE up.... Concerning the sound, I like Joshua Bell violin better.

  • @mystylez5687
    @mystylez5687 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think Taylor Davis violin library is the best

  • @HaddonMusic
    @HaddonMusic ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I almost feel like I would actually need to learn the violin to give this library justice 😅 I don't have a solo strings library yet haha but I would use it to create softer more intimate pieces.
