In front of my camera
I consider myself fortunate. Over the last years I did have the opportunity to meet some amazing talents in front of my camera. I hope as a result the client did walk away with images they liked. Some of these great people I captured with my camera are in this short video.

Showing Alembic Fretless Finger Bridge
Dan Dean Signature Bass Collection is an unique collection of 5 different bass guitar libraries, each with its own and different sound.
Available for a short period of time in Jan 2017 here: https://audioplugin.deals/ref/18/
Dan Dean is a multitalented artist, achieving national and international recognition as a bassist, producer, composer, educator, software developer and recording engineer. As a Jazz bassist, Dan Dean’s performances are distinguished and varied, having worked with artists such as BB King and Dionne Warwick.
Included are
Alembic Fretless
Alembic SlapPop
Fender Lull Jazz Bass
Fender Precision Bass
Fender Tele Bass
Dan's instruments are velocity sensitive with up to 7 layers per note (4RR). Dan did include for every instrument different presets and for each library one multi instrument. While recoding he worked hard to assure a low noise floors. On top of the presets dan included you can also apply your own effect using the included reverb, delay and skreamer. For many of the included presets Dan has been running the signals captured through classic outboard amps/cabinets.
Full Kontakt 5.5.2 (Kontakt Player is not supported) and above is required, you need 3.1 GB on your hard disk to install the different Kontakt Libraries.
audioplugin.deals did send me a free copy of the collection before its release.

Embertone Solo Strings Bundle now for a limited time period for just 199USD here: https://audioplugin.deals/ref/18/ (Affiliate Link)
To show off the String Instruments Embertone send me some of their key midis to show the expressive instruments.
Embertone Solo Strings Bundle contains Friedlander Violin, Fischer Viola, Blakus Cello, and Leonid Bass. Back in February 2016 Alex and team from Embertone complete soloist library for their Intimate Strings series with the release of Leonid Bass. All four are expressive solo string instruments. The Solo instruments are designed to help you to write for any styles of music.
The four different solo string instruments have been released over a period of time and Embertone has in the same timeframe enhanced their recording and programming skills of the Virtual (Kontakt) Instrument. Currently older solo string instruments are in the progress to be updated or have been updated to get all string instruments on the same level and close to the quality of the Leonid Bass. The Bass is one of the detailed String Bass libraries available on the market.
The instruments have impressive timbre, bow position and dynamic control. With the color mode you can use the instruments to produce a huge spectrum of tone colors by choosing where their bow goes between the bridge and fingerboard.
All four instruments have been recorded dry which makes them great instruments to process and mix with other instruments that are delivered with built in reverb.
These are different patches available in terms of CPU/RAM usage. Embertone’s speed responsiveness script, and adjustable portamentos require that the majority of the instrument be loadeddirectly into RAM. And their scripted vibrato has a multitude of background modulators running all at once. All of this combines to create an exceptional instrument. Embertone also provides you with lower ram demanding instruments version to reduce the footprint. Those with less powerful systems should use the included 16-bit samples, for those with a normal setup or a better performing DAW would select the 24-bit samples which are included.
The included ensemble comes with humanization settings that should help vary the accuracy of your virtual player. You can change the Tightness to make the ensemble less precise with their timing. Similarly, when changing the Intonation the players become less exact with their intonation. There included features allow you to reduce the level or expertise of the simulated player. This comes handy when you would like to show the audience how a rather bad/medium player would become a better player. You can take the same footage and the music played provides the illusion of a medium to great string player. There are also features that help you to increase the pe

8Dio Agitato
ProjectSam Lumina
Berlin Strings: First Chairs
Spitfire Sacconi
Metropolis Ark 1
I did use the midi file that was shared by 8Dio (http://8dio.com/#blog/orchestrating-with-agitato/) and mixed in the Berlin Strings: First Chairs as well as Spitfire Sacconi in combination with 8Dio Agitato, ProjectSam Lumina and Metropolis Ark 1.
Please keep in mind that the midi which was careful done for 8Dio Agitato and used key switching which I removed or the other libraries. This means that the other strings could sound better if more time is spend.

The questions did came up which Taiko has the least baked in reverb. When I look at Percussion I like to see how they can sound epic in most cases. So I am ok with backed in reverb.
Keep in mind this is about which Taiko has the least amount of reverb backed in.
