Currently 4. Currently 2. CLEAN 5. Currently 3. Hi can you tell me how can I use audio track recording in nuendo. I'm using 01v96 digital mixer To compensate for this and provide more economical alternatives when writing, the 'Xswitch' Instruments also make use of the Crescendo Controller, but the switch between velocity layers is sometimes obvious, although a combination of 'Xfade' and 'Xswitch' instruments can mask this.
The advantage of 'Xswitch' Instruments is that they only require one voice for every note played, and the fact they're able to preserve the Crescendo Controller data makes them useful as economical substitutes.
I found the Crescendo Control itself very sensitive, but with a bit of practice, you can achieve some incredibly expressive and realistic results with the 'Xfade' instruments. The last control category is described as 'Velocity with Pitch-bend' 'VelPB' , which is a neat way of combining the 'Xswitch' and standard 'Velocity' Instruments by taking advantage of the fact the pitch-bend wheel has a default central position.
With a 'VelPB' Instrument, velocity determines the initial volume and layer, and you can use the pitch wheel to increase or decrease the volume and layer while the note sustains. An important point to mention with the legato Instruments is that, unlike on just about every other high-end sample library, they are all looped — break out the champagne!
Sample-library developers often hotly debate whether the tremendously involved task of carrying out all this looping is worthwhile, but there's no doubt that from a player's point of view, looped legato samples are great for trying out ideas. One feature that adds a great deal of realism to HSE as it does to other recent sample libraries like Sonic Impants' Symphonic Strings is the use of release samples, which capture the sound you hear after the physical action of playing the note has ceased.
And, of course, the release samples also capture the character of the space used to record the samples. I'm sure there's a reason for this, but when performing with the release samples, I found that they didn't sound if I held some notes, pressed the sustain pedal, released the notes and then released the sustain pedal. A standout programming highlight can be found in the Combi Instruments, which are available in each section, and bundle one of each articulation within a single Instrument.
However, rather than just using the standard approach to key-switching for switching between the articulations, Wizoo and Steinberg have been slightly more cunning. When you load a Combi Instrument, the default articulation is legato, and pressing a keyswitch allows you to change the articulation that's played — sounds normal so far.
However, the non-legato articulation is only used while the keyswitch key is held down — releasing it will resume the legato articulation once again. In addition to the Instruments that can be loaded into HSP, HSE also provides a set of Instruments for loading into Halion, for those users who also own a copy of that program.
Part of the reason for creating HSP is that Halion doesn't support the advanced crossfade modulation features or provide the necessary facilities for automatic bow-alternating, for example, so it goes without saying that these features are missing when using the Halion Instruments. For this reason, it's recommended that you use HSP for string arranging and Halion for more brutal sonic manipulation, although apparently a future version of Halion will eventually be able to fully load and support the HSP Instruments.
When it comes to short bows, only a spiccato articulation is provided, although this is somewhat compensated for in the large number of variations provided. Firstly, as with the legato Instruments, there are 'A' and 'B' variation sets, this time supplemented by up and down bow sets as well, with the 'A' variation producing a lighter sound with a firm attack, and 'B' offering a thicker woody sound, which is particularly fierce on the cellos.
The bass spiccato samples are only available in one down-bow flavour, which is suitably aggressive and should move a fair amount of air in your subwoofer!
However, HSE goes one step further with its spiccato articulation and offers an Instrument featuring automatic up and down bow alternations. Admittedly, HSE isn't the first library to offer this, but it is the first library that doesn't require additional programs to be set up and used alongside your sampler, a fact that highlights the advantage of self-contained libraries running as virtual instruments.
The automatic Instruments offer a number of key-switches to change the bowing to only up or down bows, or to begin alternating again starting on either an up or down bow, which is very, very useful indeed.
The manual claims that up to nine velocity layers are used for each bow direction, although I have to say that I certainly couldn't discern that many individually. However, what you can hear is a brilliantly varied and realistic spiccato texture that avoids, as the manual puts it, the 'machine-gunning' affect often associated with short-bow string samples. The pizzicato Instruments are available in loose and tight variants for the upper strings, tight and very tight which could be painful!
Seriously, though, it's not that easy for a group of bass players to control a tight pizzicato sound, which isn't surprising if you consider the length and thickness of the strings — you could probably get a tighter pizzicato sound with an ensemble of upright Hoovers! Overall, the pizzicato Instruments were nicely rounded with a musical character that just cried out to be played.
The samples used in Halion String Edition Volume One are taken from a three-year sampling project started by Wizoo at the beginning of to sample a complete symphony orchestra, which is to become The Claudius Bruese Orchestra. The primary aim of this gradually developing sample library, as demonstrated by Halion String Edition, is to provide high-quality sounds that are easy to use for any musician who requires access to an orchestral palette.
Claudius Bruese with orchestra during the sample recording sessions. In addition to his work with Wizoo, Claudius is a trained composer and sound designer who works in both Cologne and LA, composing for film and TV, and specialises in producing realistic-sounding orchestral mock-ups for himself and other high-profile Hollywood composers. If you already own a software sampler and would like to use the sounds from The Claudius Bruese Orchestra without buying the full Halion String Edition Volume One, some of the programs are available for download at www.
At the time of writing, the legato, pizzicato and tremolo programs are available, with marcato, spiccato, trills and senza vibrato programs coming soon. However, it's worth stressing that these are just ordinary multisampled instruments; they do not come with all the extra functionality of Halion String Edition Volume One.
In fact, the HSP interface is basically a stripped-down version of Halion's macro view, which takes away all the complication sometimes associated when using higher-end libraries with generic sampling software. HSP retains Halion's four pairs of stereo outputs, losing the additional four mono outputs that are obviously redundant in this context. Initally I thought it was a shame not to have five pairs of outputs — one for each section plus full strings — but you can of course run as many copies of HSP as your host supports to get the number of individual outputs required.
The overhead of running an extra instance of HSP, compared to the overhead of just playing the Instruments, would be negligible. The user is left with very few decisions to make in the operation of HSP, and the only settings you can make are those affecting the quality and performance. As with Halion, you can select between a variety of quality and resampling options, where better means more processor intensive.
Halion's 'Preload To RAM' slider for controlling the balance between disk streaming and RAM-based playback has been simplified into five presets from the same settings menu as Quality and Resampling.
