So in this tutorial we’re going to look at Symphonic strings. That is, before you hype the bejesus out of it.

ACTION STRINGS TUTORIAL HOW TO

Immersion in great music will help the us non-trained individuals how to instinctualise good writing & arranging as opposed to studying it. The other thing I’d recommend if you want to program realistic string parts, is listen to good string music. This will restrict your options in a way that channels you toward reality. We suggest these rules not because they can’t be broken, it’s just when you’re trying to create realistic mockups of real instruments the first and easiest rule is to empathise with what they can do. We discussed that any string band is essentially five voices, and that violins can play high or low, but must always play above the violas, cellos and basses. Where strings are concerned I would say anything between a couple of players, to around 25 strings players would qualify as Chamber. Last time we looked at chamber strings which we established is not in fact a form of music for sex pests, but merely refers to an orchestral band that is smaller than a symphony orchestra. So here’s the second part of my tutorial on how to program realistic strings. I can’t really read music, I don’t know much theory and I didn’t study this at college. I’ve done a bunch of orchestral scores but there’s just one catch.

However, even without that, this library stands on it’s own in sound quality and phrase variety, as well as the instant usability.Hello my name is Christian Henson and aside from my work with Spitfire Audio I also moonlight as a film, TV and Games composer.

That matched with the staccato patch and the phrases would really have made it an even stronger cinematic string toolkit. The one thing I think would have taken it to the next level is the inclusion of a single sustained patch of the entire ensemble. I give Action Strings 4.5 out of 5 subs, it’s an instantly usable library that’s simple to use and yields great results. If you know what you’re looking for when you look at this library then I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

The bottom line is this is a great sounding cinematic orchestral phrase library. The inclusion of a playable staccato instrument is also very appreciated. I also like the fact that they sound good at multiple tempos thanks to the built in time stretching in Kontakt 5, really allows you to work these into pretty much any type of production you need. The phrases themselves are very flexible and divers, from basic chords to more dense arrangements and runs, you can really come up with some unique and epic sounding tracks quite quickly. Having access to the reverb and eq as well as being able to boost the dynamics easily makes it flexible even for static audio phrases. I love that you can change the mic location from stage to far to suit your taste as well. I really like the actual sound of the recorded phrases, they really have a nice acoustic tone to them.

These are actual audio phrases that can be used at various tempos thanks to Kontakt’s 5’s Time Machine Pro alghorithm. You can switch through the phrases with keyswitches on the lower end of the keyboard and play the phrases in either single notes or chords on the upper end. These are live string phrases played in an epic orchestral style for movies, games, and general music production. The whole concept behind this library is to provide you with a flexible collection of cinematic style orchestral runs and phrases.

Today I’m checking out the new Action Strings library from NI I’ve been getting a lot of requests to review this one since it came out last week, so here it is.
