The trade-off (and I think it's a fair one) is that it's not good for most other things. There are mono spot mics (called close in this version) but they aren't as strong a sound as you'll find in the closer mikings of some other libraries.Ĭinematic Strings 2.1 is a great library when you want the sound of a big hall baked in and like to work quickly and easily. No, it's not possible to use Cinematic Strings 2.1 as a very dry library. And Cinestrings? That's not even in the same league.īut naturally, that's just my opinion, and, of course, providing that budget is not an issue, because otherwise, it may not be nearly as clear, given that Cinestrings is now priced at five hundred bucks, while BS or LASS, as the case may be, is double that price I just saw this.
CINEMATIC STRINGS 2 VERSUS CS 2 REVIEW UPDATE
Cinestrings have recently got an update with some nice features, but it's nothing substantial enough to change my view on it in comparison with BS.Īnd a final face-off to top it all: I'd say that LASS beats BS in pretty much every conceivable aspect (perhaps with the exception of out-of-the-box playability). If you don't mind tweaking the sound a lot, I suppose you could make Cinestrings sound great, but then again, if you could make CS sound great, I'd be pretty sure you'd make LASS sound nothing short of amazing.Īs for shorts, neither library impressed me, but with the fixed programming issues, I still think BS would win in my book. From what I gather, legatos and sustains are supposed to be the forte of Cinestrings, yet I find BS strings warmer and more pleasant-sounding. Reason? While they are both fairly demanding (especially RAM-wise) on the system, I find the sound of Berlin Strings much more appealing and authentic.
If, however, you are hell-bent on choosing just between those two, I'd probably recommend Berlin Strings, that is assuming the updates have mixed most of the scripting errors (like missing RRs on Cel Spic), which I think they have. Go for Cinematic Strings 2/Spitfire Albion and/or Mural/LASS instead. I'm not a maven by a long shot, but anyway, my frank answer would be: neither.
