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.

Doesn’t sound anything like a violin. More like someone playing on a saw

Good ensemble performance, while solo needs some improvement (especially both violin I and II solo which sound really weird). And, yes, a more aggressive play option is welcome.

If this pack had an option for strings to play a little more aggressively, it'd be perfect

All seems to be well. The Violin does sound a bit strange, but leaps better than the MS Sounds Violin. It sounds much better in full sections than in solos. If you frequently compose using string-sections, this is a must.

The sound is weird. i feel like its different from previous update but i couldn't pin point what's different.

bad solo strings

I LOVE Muse sounds and the idea of having free great sounds is amazing, but I feel they have been made worse. It seems that now you guys can charge people, you are making them sound worse. I hope this is not the mistake, as I LOVE Musescore and use it for writting soundtracks that might one day be my source of income. I have a project coming up that needs beautiful string melodies, but now that legato sucks, I don’t know what to do! I have no budget, and I wish I had never updated the strings. I don’t want to stop using Muse Sounds, but if you don’t do something about this issue, I just might have to. I’m sure many other people feel the same way, so please, unless you don’t want people to trust you and maybe decide on their own to buy products, you should stop making these stupid mistakes.

it’s really dissapointing that now muse score has become a profitable app they’re downgrading the sound quality of their free stuff to make you buy thier new string libraries like spitfire,berlin etc. Before muse hub became what it was I loved the muse string library. It was better than most of my paid string libraries. But ever since I updated it and muse hub has become bigger, The sound quality has gone down tremendously. I have audio recordings of when I used to use muse strings compared to how it sounds now and you can really hear the difference (even though an updated version USUALLY means its better sound quality). If you’re new to muse strings, you won’t really notice unless you’ve been using it for a while but they’re slowly just making the quality worse and worse. It’s just sad

The Muse Strings library needs a lot of improvements. First, the solo strings sound as if two people are playing together. I also need a way to remove the vibrato and glissando to make them suitable for fiddle music (Celtic, Bluegrass, Old-time, etc.) Like many users mentioned before, the solo double bass is missing for bands of different types.

It sounded good but I updated it and I feel like it sounds worse
