Description

CineStrings Solo is a collection of solo strings recorded at the world famous MGM Scoring Stage at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles. CineStrings Solo enhances the ensemble CineStrings library with masterful performances by some of the greatest LA scoring musicians. The library also functions as a wonderful and cinematic voice of its own in your sound palette, complementing the rest of the CineOrch line or standing alone as an intuitive and versatile collection of detailed solo strings. CineStrings Solo Muse Sounds Edition is derived from Cinesamples’ flagship CineStrings Solo library (available for Native Instruments Kontakt direct from the developer’s website), utilising the Full Mix microphone position created by Dennis Sands, but totally re-programmed and reworked specifically for Muse Sounds' totally unique playback engine. This library features true legato transitions, a sampling technique which records the musicians not just playing a note, but also changing from note to note. This is sampled for every possible note change (both up and down) for up to an octave. This crucial detail is expensive and time-consuming to sample, but adds a massive amount of realism during playback by recreating the sound of the musicians smoothly connecting notes within legato lines.

Solo strings from free Muse Strings sound a lot more realistic. They also have more techniques.

Everything is good, but harmonic symbols make the note sound 1 octave when they should sound just as written. Please fix this as soon as possible.

Everything else I love, but the staccato (and the other articulations) seems to be very aggressive when all I am asking for is short and detached.

Sound quality is very good, but there are issues on dynamics levels - marcato, etc. (especially on cello and doublebass) that are too much loud! Please fix it. Thanks.

The recent updates have made this better than the free muse sounds, especially at low dynamics where the other sounds struggle. However, the lack of harmonics is an egregious oversight, and needs to be fixed as soon as possible. It is unaccetpable.

MuseScore’s String samples have far more options for free.

The section sounds are good, but the solo instruments-explode on staccato notes by sounding almost 2 dynamic levels higher (with unassigned accents as well). Don't know if this is a CineStrings Solo issue or Muse playback engine, but it needs to be fixed.

I am giving a thumbs up just because the over sound is good for the price. There are some problems that prevent me from using the library though. In particular, the dynamics can be very uneven. For example, the D above C5 is very quiet, and some other notes above that D have the same problem. The staccato is a bit extreme and mf is very loud compared mp, but f is only slightly louder than mf. If the dynamics can get fixed, this will be a solid little library.

The title explains the issue. Otherwise, great muse sounds

CineStrings solo sound is a bit cold (violin), but strings sound more realistic than Muse strings solo, have les distortion (vibrato), but aren't very stable. I had to re-launch app 3-times to make them reappear.
