Writing with new Performance Samples: Pacific Solo Strings, Vista II Solo Cello & Fluid Shorts III

I bought three new excellent string libraries from ‪@performancesamples‬ the other day, and I thought I'd write a new short piece only using these libraries to review them. Come with me as I talk you through my process of these incredible string libraries. THis video is a half-review, half-look at my composition process.

The short piece is unmixed, so you can hear exactly how these instruments operate. I paid for these instruments myself, and this video is not sponsored.

The instruments I used are
► Pacific Solo Strings https://www.performancesamples.com/pa...
► Vista II Solo Cello Legato https://www.performancesamples.com/vi...
► Fluid Shorts III https://www.performancesamples.com/fl...

All of these are heavily reduced on the Performance Samples website right now if you buy them as a trio—it's an incredible value!
