| 07-23-06 / 07:45 PM : Audio Impressions DVZ Strings Library (cjed) |
 Sonicstate provides an article (including videos taken at the Summer Namm) of DVZ Strings Library from Audio Impressions. This library (5 Go) gives access to all articulations, can dispatch notes on right sections, and change mixing of samples from the various microphones to alter the ambiance (better than traditional reverbs). Even in the demo it seems better than SO or VSL. No information yet about pricing and configurations. |
