I realize I've said this before, but I'm beyond pleased to see you, Christian, back and speaking to us with your usual excitement. No one, representing any other company, comes even close to what you give us. I look forward to many more years of The Crow Hill Company videos and products. Thank you ever so much! - Cheers! - Brian Cooper, Shinkai Studio, Japan
I just bought Glass Strings.. I'm supposed to be making supper and...well...it`s been almost 2 hours of exploring the presets and getting lost in new ideas and ..yes...feelings! what a treat!!! thanks to you and the whole team at Crow Hill !! just simply amazing 🙂
Does anyone else feel like you can trash all the other thousands of dollars of strings libraries, make more hard drive space, and just use Glass Strings?
Well that was top top notch..it's amazing and simply outstanding how all the gui and the strings there (all) where not only played perfectly but the overall quality it's just up to market for the best strings ever created probably Ps. Also let me add this..at 8:46 I instantly hear some kind of technique Trevor Morris used in a lot of his ques in the Vikings Series , the fourth season or the last season can't remember now but this is exactly how it sounded
What an honest, intimate, and beautiful sound. Chamber ensemble strings is my absolute favorite classical ensemble, and this is just beyond gorgeous. What an accomplishment!
Five minutes into this video and I'm now £149 poorer. I really didn't think I'd be tempted by YET another strings library (I have too many of them as it is) but, wow, the sound of this just instantly blew me away.
These sound beautiful. I've just laid out on two different Ostinato string libraries - If this had included rOstinato rebowing options I think I would have cried. This will be my next purchase for sure, well done on another stunning library.
One question I forgot to ask. Over the years, you've talked about many different expression and modulation stand alone controllers. What are you using now, and is it your opinion that it's the best you've found? I look forward to hearing back from you when you have time. Thanking you in advance.
I'm not going to lie this seems like a really nice library and I want to get it. The price is very reasonable for what you are offering so i just need my boss to give me an extra 6 hours of work (7 hours really after they take taxes out) sometime soon so that I can afford it, if the groceries don't go higher more, and my rent doesn't get raised again, or the price of gas doesn't go up again. I will let my friends know that I'm interested so if they wind up with any extra money maybe they will get it for me for Christmas. It is a great library though!
Instant buy. This will bring me so much closer to what I want to achieve by miles. But having fun while doing it. Another great library. Full of creating energy to explore. Gestures, Murmurations, Nocturnal and now Glass. What a quartet of superb innovation and human understanding. Thank you all on Crow Hill. I am so looking forward to the first wood wind library. :-) That must be next, right??
Love you guys at crowhill and ofcourse Christian too but I am waiting for the vaults series to get back because I am waiting for more instruments in that series 😊✌️
It cokes with straight samples, right? I can appreciate articulations, but if it's going to play notes & phrases (gestures), that I haven't, I don't think it's for me! Articulations like glides to a known note and so on, I can see usable. But if it's just going to "meander" a phrase in a given scale, that's NOT what I'd hire an orchestra to do. How many scales and modes does it have? Are these pentatonic ads libs? What am I missing here? But if it will play the notes I actually ask it for, then I am in... How does it differ to the very first one you released?
The basic articulations sound fantastic. The gestures also sound good, but too much worry for professional use because of potential copyright strikes (and lots of contracts these days specifying use of "one shot" samples, only). Those bots are listening.
@@jjolsson1863 Yes, but as soon as someone else uses one of those gestures and incorporates it into a track, the bots will notice the next person who uses it and might generate a copyright strike. That's the problem with phrase samples (and that's why some organizations that need music for media contractually specify that phrases can't be used). It's a gamble.
I've asked about this before when they released the first one. Amazing tools but I can see them having quite limited use out there once you've heard on tv once or twice it will become far more noticable than others
Sounds majestic, absolutely incredible, does it have legato? that is this and other controls I find in other libraries like vibrato and expression Are you planning on adding NKS support or decent sampler? if not, will your sampler support clap?
What about the "be yourself, everyone else is taken" statement, which is quite frankly, an awesome quote haha,. But with the "everyone else is taken" brings me to the gestures, once they have been "taken" by someone else, and the AI bots have flagged it, can we still use them? Are there going to be these copyright infringements because these gestures have been taken already by others? It's a really intersting question i think others do have, and only time will tell right? But on the other hand.... no copyright infrigenemts have been cropping up with other gestures libraries or indeed synth presets? How safe are we as composers in the future to use these pre baked things? And how many gestures will you get when you press the same chord? Just the one? 2? Once you've made a couple of tracks with this product, will you then end up having used everything? Maybe i should just buy it and see.... or wait a few months for others feedback.... There's no denying it sounds beautiful however and looks extremely fun to riff with. But how long can you riff with it until you feel like you've heard all it can give?
Immediately bought this. The sound quality is obviously amazing but the Glass feature is the single most innovative feature in any strings sampler I've seen for years
Hmm. Didn't really show us alot though. How does the glass fx sound with chords? Why didn't the glass know smoothly transition when turning it up, looked choppy.
Important question... Are we still yet able to adjust the time in which the Murmurations happen??? In the previous two string libraries this is the only thing that has prevented me from constant use is that I'd love to shorten the time in which the murms happen!!! Waiting a whole bar isn't it!! lol thanks!
I'd like to know too. I was keenly watching the Gestures sections but did not find any mention of tempo syncing... So, I am very weary about getting this even if the Strings sound lovely. @CrowHill please could you clarify?
Okay, went through the manual and found this: "New to Glass Strings are some motoring gestures. These will seamlessly lock to your host tempo even if your tempo map changes gestures will follow glitch free. For the purists in you all gestures were recorded at 100bpm so straying 20-30bpm may produce artifacts (especially when straying south)" Now, how many of those gestures are motors, I am not sure. These are the available gestures: • Beautiful Thing • Gliding Angels • Leapzilla • Maximism • Octavia • Misalignment • Rubbing Shoulders • Scoopy Doo • Spring Flowers • Movements • The Individual • It’s Drooling
It's really beautiful but then again to my untrained ear, all sample libraries sound beautiful. And as for gestures, I just love the concept but think it adds a layer of complexity to composition that adds a small negative to quite an overwhelming positive. One other point, Christian talks about realism and how things are moving, but doesn't that open up the old conversation about just how good sample libraries sound compared to the real thing? I'm a hobbyist and this would make me sound actually quite good, but surely the jobbing composers out there are using libraries in their finished commissions as opposed to real orchestras?
Traditionallly samples were used for "mock up" and people still call them this. BUt i think there would be MANY many tv shows featuring only or largely sample libaries these days.

Wow! There's a lot of personality in these articulations. This is unlike many libraries that are just boring TV music. Bravo!
That GUI is makin me Gooey 😊
Looks like the helm of a starship
I cannot wait to play with this!

No. Nothing has yet to replace orchestral tools.
Was that Allison!!???!!!😊
That was my idea, I posted you about working with her over a year ago.
This sounds amazing 😊

Oh wow. My head is stirring with ideas already! Can’t wait to play around with this.
What an honest, intimate, and beautiful sound. Chamber ensemble strings is my absolute favorite classical ensemble, and this is just beyond gorgeous.
What an accomplishment!
this sounds amazing
Just when I think I'm done buying new string libraries, Crow Hill comes out of no where and slaps me in my face with this. Phenomenal sound 🙌
This is why I’m skint
Fantastic work !!
What an amazing instrument! Breathtaking
It sounds incredible
one word, incredible
There you go this is for real the definite string library !!!! If samples are going this way tools will be very interesting!!!
Dude stop, this is phenomenal but I only have so much money!!
Klarna would be a nice option
Be yourself, Everyone else is taken. For me, that's a creepy Phrase to put on a String Library Trailer. Mmm what have you done Fellows?
Well done. Congrats! Bought it straight away because of the feel and the textural detail. Hurray for visionary perseverance Christian 🎉

I like the part that has strings in it.
Sounds beautiful. This product is full of life; well done. BTW, I was really surprised with your psychedelic glass, Christian 😅

How does it differ to the very first one you released?
Gestures is only one of the options this offers, there seem to be quite a few "straight" settings and articulations you have full control over.
The basic articulations sound fantastic. The gestures also sound good, but too much worry for professional use because of potential copyright strikes (and lots of contracts these days specifying use of "one shot" samples, only). Those bots are listening.
What do you mean. Isn't this library free to make and sell whatever you want with it?
@@jjolsson1863 Yes, but as soon as someone else uses one of those gestures and incorporates it into a track, the bots will notice the next person who uses it and might generate a copyright strike. That's the problem with phrase samples (and that's why some organizations that need music for media contractually specify that phrases can't be used). It's a gamble.
@MaxxBigg well looks like I don't know. Don't like phrases anyway. I use orchestral tools stuff. It's god tier
Good thing no one listens to my music!!!
I've asked about this before when they released the first one. Amazing tools but I can see them having quite limited use out there once you've heard on tv once or twice it will become far more noticable than others
Sounds great mate. Sold. And coming to a film score soon 😊
Beautiful library, I'd buy it right now, but it looks like there's no compatibility for my older MacBook running 10.14
Congratulations! It sounds absolutely amazing!!
Appreciating this library so far. Was wondering if there's a way we could assign both the expression and timber to the mod wheel at the same time?
sorry if it was mentioned, is there cross grade pricing for owners of the rest of the catalog?
Are those string scenes Tempo synced?
Any discount for somebody who already bought the other string libraries (and the brass)?
Nope, but there is a promo price up to December 1
Love it 🔥
Sounds majestic, absolutely incredible, does it have legato? that is this and other controls I find in other libraries like vibrato and expression
Are you planning on adding NKS support or decent sampler? if not, will your sampler support clap?
I think your blag sheet has 2 modular blag sheets instead of a modular and a scales sheet
Oops!
Love this !!! ❤❤❤
Amazing sounding library. Did anyone catch the make of fader controller?

I reckon i'm worrying too much and it will be fine, and just have fun using an awesome product
Sounding great!!!
beautiful as always :D
❤ wonderful 😊
Please allow different currencies in your online store. Otherwise it's a guessing game as to how much your products will actually cost.
Awesome!

Hmm. Didn't really show us alot though. How does the glass fx sound with chords? Why didn't the glass know smoothly transition when turning it up, looked choppy.
I was saving up for Murmurations, now I'm unsure if I'll go for that or for Glass Strings. Any thoughts?
I'd say Glass Strings because it's generally more usable.
Important question... Are we still yet able to adjust the time in which the Murmurations happen??? In the previous two string libraries this is the only thing that has prevented me from constant use is that I'd love to shorten the time in which the murms happen!!! Waiting a whole bar isn't it!! lol

It varies a lot based on the budget of the project.
