for what version is this instruments package?

[CakewalkSoftware]

Studio Instruments is a standalone product. It can also be used as a plug-in for most DAWs (Mac or PC)

will this work for sonar7 home studio edition? thanks for the info!

[CakewalkSoftware]

Yes, In SONAR, on the main menu go to INSERT > SOFTSYNTHS . STUDIO INSTRUMENTS > SI Strings.

Hi, Robin Kelly!

[babbchuck]

You would think that Cakewalk would normalize the volume of their video a bit better - his voice starts off about right, then gradually gets quieter and quieter, then suddenly twice as loud at the end. Sheesh...

ok cartoon gui but string samps are nice for todays productions maybe more nuances and human touches would be nice

[glenngrabcello]

sounds fake, buzzy, phony...like a 50 dollar keyboard...

Now dimension pro (full strings) thats a flac sample of a real orchestral string.. or is it from this plugin? Thanks... Reason I ask is I bought Dimension pro for the full strings cause they sound great, but the attack time on them is too long.. plus the higher notes begin to sound cheesy

Horrible

[allenheresy]

@JSSJR90 They are. Personally, I use them for the "orchestra" effect; and put 2 or 3 EWQL Solo violins on top; mix to taste. It helps trick it into sounding better. Also, a real violin ontop of everything couldn't hurt either.

hmm after listing to the strings in the video...sounds like shit.

@11secure Like I said, generating sound isn't a main thing. You also need filtering. Reverb, delay, decay, echo, attack, etc. Digital audio data stores sample codec that pre-cal what level of sound it should be producing next.

Have you ever wondered about the audio file's codec and bit-rate? The lower they are the harsh sound they produce. And when you hit 8kbps, it sounds like: 8 bit samples. 4 kbps? Pure sample wave sounds. The sine, triangle, square and clip.

@binbashLinuxAhole however, i admit that it might be hard to reach it, but it still does not sound realistic. you cant "generate" an instrument, its much more complex as a program can ever make it. for me, a real violin player it's just a shame, dont take these critics personally, im regarding your work!
