Hi Everyone.

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best string / orchestral library to mix with a heavy metal band?
I’m thinking a Sceptic Flesh / Fleshgod Appcalypse vibe.
I’ve tried EW Hollywood and Symphonic orchestras, Sonuscore’s The Orchestra and BBCSO which is my favourite so far.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

The Audio Imperia libs fit really well into that category. Nucleus or Jaeger would be my choice.

Whatever you do...Don't hire the Portsmouth Sinfonia!

iZotope is just about to release Striiiings. In one of their vids, they showcased it with some metal track. Note that i's introductory priced until December 6.

That's UJAM, not iZotope.

Yes, thanks. Both creating great-sounding products aimed to help musicians. Wonder if they'll merge some time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Fleshgod does use keyboard samples, probably VSTi I'm sure. So why don't you just find out what they use? Technically, you wouldn't be ripping them off either because.. it's uhh.. orchestra sounds.

FWIW, Here's a thread on Striiiings. I have no idea what strings and metal sounds like, but as you can see in the vids in the thread, there are a number of string setups in this package, and easy peasy to use.

Note that the intro price ends tonight!
