@Lindahl two totally different libraries, if you are looking for big orchestral strings, do not buy session strings, it's a more dry, studio style sound. It's not going to compete with an orchestral library in my opinion.
@SoundsAndGear True, its just easy to misstake it for a natural string library when it has a more imo unrealistic popish sound to it. But of course it comes down to personal taste and use.
@MRDOCTORGONZO1971 suite comes with all the instruments and devices, so if you want all the stuff like sampler, operator, tension, analog, and all the extra sample based instruments, go for suite. If you just want the daw and not the extra devices, go with 8. I have Live 8 and not suite personally.
I am thinking of buying Komplete 8 Ultimate Standard Version. I was under the impression that Kontakt 5, which is included in that collection, would feature VSL strings and horns--am I wrong about that?
I would still think that Komplete 8 has an awful lot to offer--including its own strings and horns--
Just wondering...
Does anyone know just what all K. 8 U. S. V. features as far as strings and horns?
@derek4ur there is no ultimate standard version, there's just k8 and k8u, yes kontakt 5 includes some vsl orchestral stuff, it's from one of their older collections but still usable. Then you get session strings pro, which is the larger version of what's in this video.
@lMJAFO check the settings on your mbox, you may need to increase your buffer size a bit higher, especially if using patches with reverb on them, etc.
@IMJAF0 could be your latency/buffer settings on your soundcard. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause that. I don't have the pro version yet, but that's what it sounds like. Or maybe you're running out of ram. Does it only happen with session strings?
@TheMusicDude1997 or To all FL Studio Producer...Hi, would you happen to know if SessionStrings is compatible with FruityLoops Studio??? If Yes, How could I install this onto FL Studio???
@thc420xtac I don't use flstudio, but you install like any other plugin. Install the product, then point flstudio to whever you put the plugin file, kontakt.dll is the plugin. Most have a central folder for plugins, I think flstdudio has a plugins folder, you can put it in there.
Hello ! I've got i BIG problem. everytime i go to Garageband and open a project that has session strings in it it gives me this message : Loading 'instruments has failed, as their libraries aren't installed on this computer.
@TheMusicDude1997 tell kontakt where the library is, you can remove it and re add it. As far as not being able to register, not sure about that, it should be registered in service center, you may need to contact NI support
I would categorize Ni SS alongside the toy casio's and yamaha's you play with at wal mart and sams club.
I suggest this for toying around or laying demos 4 fun on your computer but for production. No Way!
If you want something with some REAL string sounds for production I suggest LA strings and EWQL. Those two have rich sound that sound exactly like it's coming off a violin and cello. Those two worked perfectly for me. Opinions may vary but I am just being real from the heart so peace.
@cyberhmoob yep, they are both dope libraries, I really don't dig the east west stuff but lass is nice, I like kirk hunter too, and some of the vsl stuff. I find the east west to have too much ambiance printed into the samples. I wouldn't even put these strings in that category though, they aren't even trying to be the same thing.
@SoundsAndGear I agree with you. On a NOTE I think it didn't work for me because my music tended to be very thick and SS didn't bite through very well but yeah I think all 3 of them are in a category of their own.
@cyberhmoob yeah I agree, these aren't really something you'd use for "main event" strings, I tend to see them as "background" pads really, not something where strings are the main theme. They say they are more pop, I don't know, but they definitely aren't made for big orchestral sounds. Like you said, they don't "bite" enough. But cool for what they are.
@theiammike123 have the kontact player installed its freee on the NI website then goto the Service Center intalled with it, use the Key emailed to you when u bought it and activate it
@DJDangerBeatz once you run the installer they will show up, or in kontakt in the library tab just select "add new library" and point to the folder you installed these in.
Just got this. Word of warning: There aren't any key-switches like in the Kontakt 4 orchestral patches, which makes it a bit of a bother to use if you want to sequence changes between articulations. :)
@nickweston can i ask how is it possible for ppl to get away with downloading? i thought you require a license. Use of samples are prohibited in film/tv or commercial uses without it..so way are jerk offs not getting sued? I never hear of any successful cases...don't NI hire ppl to hear out for their samples??? Wait a min, it must be that they have no talent..therefore no chance of getting their music published. So they don't worry. that must be it.
Nice review, covered all the main parts and sounds of the library with well paced commentary. Thanks for taking the time to post it, reckon I might just spend that Xmas voucher NI sent me on this.
@bally28 Sorry already used it on this product and deleted the email it came with. Have a search round though and keep checking NI, they seem to be having quite a lot of offers these days.
@chasseurdechasseur57 cool lol, they are supposed to be more along the lines of the disco/pop sounding strings as opposed to some straight orchestral sounding stuff. Like anything else, everyone has different tastes, these don't seem to be what you're looking for.
@SoundsAndGear It's just for the tastes, but in our time, business factory will do better that ! I do not agree with the theory of the musical style, it"s a bad argument...
@compositeur57 uhhh okay, don't know what you want me to say lol, if you don't understand how sounds can be geared towards a specific genre of music, we have nothing more to discuss, thanks for the comments...
@BackBurner144 it's a plugin, if you can use plugins in FL you can use this. Kontakt is a plugin as is the free Kontakt Player that comes with this product.
is session strings worth the money if you already have kontakt's strings? i have this voucher from komplete and im wondering what to do with it, that is if komplete ever finishes installing haha.
@blazemizzle so 30 people work for months to create this and you think you should get it for free? It's this attitude of entitlement that is ruining music, software, publishing and film. Go get a job and buy it sonny boy...
@nickweston can i ask how is it possible for ppl to get away with downloading? i thought you require a license. Use of samples are prohibited in film/tv or commercial uses without it..so way are jerk offs not getting sued? I never hear of any successful cases...don't NI hire ppl to hear out for their samples??? Wait a min, it must be that they have no talent..therefore no chance of getting their music published. So they don't worry. that must be it.
@nickweston The music and film industry has become exploitative bullshit. Don't preach mate. I personally prefer to pay for things but just don't preach, the poor need to educate themselves anyway they can!
Session strings is good to have if you are doing a hip hop, pop, rnb and the like and you want a some nice strings to spice it up without spending 4 figures. It's also a better alternative to aampling string lines from records. It is very good purpose built library
@trulynot how about because it's not something I'm interested in doing? It wouldn't matter if you were Kanye "incognito" you're assuming I have a desire to work with him lol, I do not. Not everyone that does music has the same goals and desires that's all, nothing personal lol.
@SoundsAndGear Ok ok ok , forget Kanye, who do you want to work with ? I could be that person "incognito". I could be your ex wife looking for signs of change in the vain hope that you have change, looking to give you a second chance. Now you will never know. PLUS you missed out on a whacking some strings down on a great Massive Attack Unfinished Sympathy style track. So puck you and your funny voice.
@trulynot hahahaha, I don't have an ex wife, happily married. Don't be mad that I don't want to work with you man, move on, stop trolling youtube to find someone to "play strings on your track " lol. Go out, buy the program, and play them yourself. The people I want to work with, I work with.
@trulynot actually I am not being mean, I was simply answering the question, then you got mad when I told you no, and started talking about my ex wife and my funny voice lol. I told you it wasn't anything personal when I said no, it's just something I wasn't interested in doing is all. It's not that serious man. I'm just not into random collaborations is all, like I said, nothing personal at all. If it's really an issue of bandwidth, hit me with a private message.
@BonzoMuse I would imagine so, I think now days we all use the same products pretty much. It may not be the "go to" for exact realistic string orchestrations, but for what it's used for, pop/urban string sections, it's good.
whoa...hold on a min! whats the specs of your computer and memory?? when i load the samples it takes my laptop 10-14 secs to load.! yours takes less than a 100th of a sec! something is wrong..
@SoundsAndGear i7 with 12gb ram? i hav dual core with 3gb..lol..think u've answered my question right there....sometimes even modesty sucks lol could you tell me how you go about getting a full symphony string sound...i was thinking i could open about 8 instances of say legato 'performance' and pan each one accordingly with reverbs on the same midi channel..that might work?
I was thinking about getting this, but with your review you help push me over the edge. I will pick it up really soon. Too bad its not as good as EastWest Hollywood Strings, but it works for R&B and Pop music. Thanks again! You are always helpful with your reviews!
@gclef101 yeah it's not the same league as HS or other large libraries, but it works really good for production, whereas those others are awesome for straight up solo string, or string heavy orchestration
of course anything can be used in any situation, but HS is like 1300 or something lol, this is 120 bucks :) Majority of producers will probably go with something like this, unless they really need the hollywood sound of bigger libraries.
