This highly depends on your skill as a composer/orchestrator, and what standard you're shooting for. For example, the guys at Northern Sound Source and VI Control absolutely need those extra articulations, since they are composing on film, TV, and game projects that are supposed to sound like real symphonic orchestras--anything the composer/orchestrator can think of must be included in these highend libraries. In fact, most composers find all of these libraries still lacking in what they need.grymmjack wrote:I don't understand why these uber expensive and giga sized orchestras are so popular. Are people honestly exploiting them fully? They need every single little nuance or articulation? I'm doing lots of great things just with the GPO pocket in dimension pro and the orch stuff that comes in Kontakt2.
Seriously how can you justify the disk space/cost? Unless you are some kind of incredible composer what is the point?
Sorry just asking.
East West? Roland Fantom x?

in a phrase for violin, i can easily use many articulations. the violin is an extremely agile (agile? it has dex 20, hehe) instrument. and so when i do my best at imitating that, then it is easier to be fooled into thinking that it is a real violin.grymmjack wrote:ok. But is the client actually saying "that orchestra violin doesn't sound like a real _____" whatever articulation?
even when nothing specifically is noted, a real violinplayer "switches presets" alot... because he is making the music.. musical. gah, too early in the morning to try to make a good explanation.
