Vir2 Instruments Q - Sound Design Software For The Big Screen

How would you rate the orchestral elements, specifically?

The drum hits during the first 25 seconds sound like crap to me.

@nsmadsen Actually most of this doesn't sound that great as I make my way through the video.

[atayado]

do you need to use a midi controller for this?

[timespace08]

@atayado It's not vital to have a midi controller as you can use your mouse and keyboard but hitting a real keyboard lends a completely different feel to it, giving it a more human touch than using the mouse and keyboard.

I wish they would include useful legato for the horns and things. Those patches just sound useless to me. The rest of it is very interesting and could be useful.

This is a seriously lacklustre package.

I gave it a test run today and a lot of the sounds are very dull indeed, and the overall sound qiaulity is quite second rate.

The demo in this video is pitched at making it sound good, but in reality its simply not worth any of my money.

I made the mistake of getting it thinking it was a combination of raw sounds (srtings, horns, and other "cinematic" sounds) + pre-composed soundscapes. Its mainly the latter. Ambiences, fills, crashes, sound FX, textures, loops....oh yeah and a few (and I mean very few orchestral sounds). So if your looking for a cinematic orchestra plug-in with some great extras, this is the wrong instrument for you. If your looking for Ambiences, fills, crashes, sound FX, textures, loops get this.

This is a great collection.. but like so many of the newer instruments that are being released now.. they lack the newer Legato algorithms like those found in "LASS" or "Mr Sax' >>>>>>>>> It's hard to justify dropping big dollars on "static' sounds when there are alternatives that sound like the real thing... no diss to VIR2 again "Q" is awesome... just listen to it...
