Nucleus

I normally don’t leave reviews like this, but after more than two months of being ignored and stonewalled by Audio Imperia’s support, I feel it’s necessary to share my experience so others don’t fall into the same trap. As someone who creates professional orchestral music and relies heavily on licensed libraries for legal distribution, I had high hopes for Audio Imperia’s products. Their instruments sounded promising, and the branding was impressive — but unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. I reached out to them over five times across two months with critical questions regarding licensing rights, particularly for commercial and streaming use. Just a single reply. Not even an automated acknowledgment. For a company selling premium tools to professionals, this level of negligence is unacceptable. Worse, they couldn’t provide a clear, verifiable license that would legally protect my use of their samples in distributed content. I was unable to proceed with my album release. Time passed, opportunities faded, and my reputation was impacted. All because I trusted a company that doesn’t care enough to respond to their own customers. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on what now feels like a complete scam. The lack of transparency, the absence of customer support, and the inability to obtain proper documentation are dealbreakers for anyone serious about their creative career. Avoid this company unless you're ready to risk your money, your time, and possibly even your professional standing. They market themselves as a top-tier provider, but in practice, their operations are amateur at best and outright predatory at worst. It’s not just about losing money — it’s about being ignored, disrespected, and left stranded as a paying customer. Do better, Audio Imperia. This isn’t how you treat artists who trusted you.

Can something be done about the dynamics. The sounds are good, but have to manually adjusted. String pizzicatos blast out and Violas are almost silent.

kinda regret spending 70 bucks on this purchase. the staccatos for all instruments are unusually loud and overpower everything. The sound quality is also not as good as advertised on videos. Hopefully they fix this in a future update but I doubt it

Base Musesounds is higher quality and gives more options, this is not worth the money

The sound mix needs to be improved, its sound is very compressed, perhaps the classical version sounds more flexible for different works. More articulations in some instruments would be ideal.

The free Muse Sounds are better than this. I truly regret this purchase. Just stick with Berlin.

I quite like them. If you want to just use the notation and have it come out in a clean and consistent manner, I think that they are great. I think it is a really big step up from the MuseSounds. If you want all the bells and whistles, get the Kontact version. I dipped my toe in and just got the Solo set and after hearing them, came back and got the full Nucleus. My only complaint is that I would like to have another set of the sections with half sized ensemble.

Lacks most if not all the heft one would expect/demand from a large-scale “cinematic” orchestra, the articulations are largely indistinguishable from one another, and the instrumental palette lacks critical instruments (piccolo being the most glaring oversight. Needs a hefty amount of work to be worth it, especially with the $60+ price tag.
