The sample library “Belarus” features a new and interesting upright piano sound. Most of those pianos were popular not only by being cheap and accesible, but also as being easy to detune and not so ‘beautiful’, compared to a Steinway piano. Still we captured the sound of a typical “Belarus” right after tuning (and as you can see tuning is not perfect because the instrument is quite old) – you can use it in soundtracks, pop music and experimental electronica. There is only one mic position, a mixture of 4 mics that were places as close to the strings as possible. It has 6 dynamic layers and 1 round-robin.
The viola has an incredible depth of sound, a warm, rich low range and a singing, fragile high range. We think it gets shortchanged too often, and that’s why we upped the ante with ours! You get more control, more simplicity, and a breathtaking dynamic range.
Hyper-realistic steel-string acoustic guitar instrument, Virtual Guitarist AMBER. In this video tutorial series, studio music guru shows you how to use and create authentic sounding acoustic guitar parts for your songs and productions. Eli starts off with a fly-by of the interface to give you a feel for the layout. Then he demonstrates how the Phrases and Notes key switches interact with the chord trigger notes. Eli now reveals which notes are necessary to trigger various types of chords, and what types of chords are generated when AMBER is set to conform to a specific key. With the basics covered, Eli explores three ways you can vary the timing and feel of AMBER’s guitar phrases and how the Position, Tone, Source, and Shimmer controls can shape the instrument’s sound. Next, Eli explains how to use the Fret Noise, Drop D Tuning, and Doubling functions for more creative sounds. After that, you’ll see how to use AMBER’s effects and how automation can add nuance and variation to doubled parts.
