Session Strings [2 CDs Set]

Multisampled pop strings(violin, viola, cello and contra bass)performed by Stockholm Session Strings. The ancient ambiences, ritual rhythms and shaman sound effects on this CD will elevate your music to another level. Or just make it a little more interesting.

Session Strings is a multisampled strings toolkit for producers of all sorts of contemporary music: pop, R'n'B, dance music etc. Based on masterfully played and pristinely recorded live performances, these carefully edited program files turn you and your sampler into a tight and versatile string ensemble. Session Strings gives you four different instrument groups, each with its own set of playing styles.

The material on Session Strings was performed by Stockholm Session Strings , a 12-piece String ensemble renown for their work with artists such as Celine Dion, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears and Westlife.

All instruments were recorded using Neumann U87 microphones placed at a distance of approximately 1 meter/3 feet. The end result was created by blending the "dry" signal with room ambience picked up by two Bruel&Kjaer 4006 microphones.

The formats on the CD: HALion, EXS24 and Kontakt.
