New String Refill "Chambre" from Softphonics

Any experts on string-libraries? 

I have heard a lot about Miroslav. 

What are your thoughts about this one?

[craven]

haha, that wordplay is worth it alone

A Reason for Strings

In some of the demo there seems a ton of reverb... Makes me a bit suspicious...
Everything sounds better with reverb!

I'm interested in whether it is better than Euphronic Strings. I'm planning to buy that sometime, but "Chambre" is cheaper than that

[Yonatan]

Agree, me too do not like reverby demos. Will have to investigate my sound gallery to see if I need more strings.
A few things in this item seems interesting. Too bad one cannot "try" refills beforehand. For €30 it might be worth it.

Yes, that price is definitely better!
Thanks for that!

Euphronic has a demo refill

The demo tracks sound pretty good.  I really wish I could try it out before buying.

[Yonatan]

Yes, you are right, I actually tried that before buying. It is a nice thing to do.

Maybe if it were instead an IDT, that would be possible

Having it as a RE helps protect against piracy and allows users to try it...

Well, they are strings.. strings and reverb go together like guitars and distortion.

There's a video on YouTube with Andrew Skelton running through some of the patches. Not the same as trying it out yourself but might give you a better idea than just the demos alone

Good find

[SoulState]

Just bought it. Waiting for the download...  

At €29.95 that's a cool price. :t2018:

[Shed69]

Really tempted to get it too after I get off shift later!

Make sure you buy from his site - not the prop shop.

Please report back how you like it!

As well, I don't think I got what the REX files are doing in there... Maybe I spaced out during the video...

First things first.  My Mac couldn't unzip the downloaded file. So I emailed them.
They replied saying " Macs have a problem unzipping large files ".

So I had to find an alternative Zip utility(from the net); which I wasn't happy about doing - never keen on installing random apps from the net.  Anyway after trying 3 different Zip apps; one managed to unzip the 5gb refill.

Not a great start!  

I think I'll need to go through some of it's Rex files for some quick gratification
 I'll test out the individual string sounds, articulations and variations later...

Thanks for the update! A mac user here as well... What app did work?

Looking forward to hear more!

Good ole' WinZip. Think I remember the Props recommending it once.

Great! Will keep that in mind in case I go for this one!

I'm thinking about getting this one, too. I've been wanting to upgrade from the stock strings and this looks like a lot of good stuff for a great price!
Thx for sharing about the zip problem. Hopefully I will remember if I do end up getting it! Also, I hope my slower machine will handle the patches ok...

[eusti]

Thanks, Andrew, for chiming in!
