The sound quality, particularly in the piano/piano-forte range sound terrible. Dynamics are crazy and must be edited in the mixer. The legato isn't very noticeable. The solo strings, however, sound pretty good and the legato is pronounced. A solo contrabass might be a good future update.

Description
We set out to record both sectional and solo strings, performing an in-depth palette of articulations with a modern yet expressive playing style and recorded with great studio gear. After almost a year of painstaking sessions, recordings, editing and programming Muse Strings is ready to take your compositions to new levels of realism. The collection is designed with a consistent set of articulations across all sections and instruments. Expressive sustains, true legato, portamento and fast run samples bring your melodic lines to new heights. Trills have been recorded up to a perfect 5th, which can add a wonderful colour to your score. There’s an array of short notes, with speed controlled staccatos and staccatissimos, pizzicatos (including snap/Bartok pizz) and col legno to add energy and motion into your composition. Marcatos, accents, senza vibrato sustains, as well as sustains played “sul tasto” and “sul ponticello” round out this impressive collection. From energetic action sequences to romantic scenes, Muse Strings brings emotion and realism to your score. Muse Sounds require no set up or effort to work with - simply write your music and push play. Best of all, Muse Strings is completely FREE for you to use in your compositions. Made with ❤️ by Muse.
