Muse Strings Reviews

The working version of Muse Strings uninstalled itself from my drive. As I try to reinstall it over Muse Hub, the download keeps stopping at under 10%. How can you fuck up an app so bad? Nothing works anymore! Trying to add notes via the alt + number command instantly crashes the app. But I guess now you can profit off the app that used to be free and working fine huh? Greedy pigs.

Downloaded, but can’t get my Musescore to play these sounds. Downloaded Brass and Woodwinds at the same time and they play just fine.

Works and sounds great!

Lovely sound

aside from some minor problems, this is better than some of the paid versions; I would recommend getting the paid version of solo insrumens for the winds.

Honestly i really prefer the base soundpack that musescore can give

When a certain rhythm is played fast (such as eigth-sixteenth-sixteenth) for two measures, there is a considerable delay compared to the other instruments during playback. There may be other rhythms for which this issue occurs, but I have not found any.

I've used it almost for every track I've made, but there are some things that could be improved, like the Glissando. And It would be great to have a solo contrabass.

The pizz sound is very aggressive and Bartok sounding on random notes. Doesn't sound like pizzicato

there is random bartók pizz even when i dont need them

random pizz in string section…despite I don’t need them

"There is a bug in the new update where you hear the pizzicato sound along with the regular string sound."

just like rorycraigcomposer!!!!!!! Always pizz!!!!!

Not sure what's happened, but the default articulation for any note entered is now Bartok pizzicato instead of arco! I've tried changing the articulation using sound flags but to no avail. This also happens with other sound libraries such as CineStrings. It also applies to both the solo and ensemble libraries. I've tried restarting the app and even my computer but still, nothing has changed. Have you guys made a mistake with the Muse sampler somewhere?

The sounds are good, but there are some problems with pizzicato sound in group strings. Pizzicato sounds sharp and clappy as if the string was pulled hard. I hope you will fix it

portamento on solo strings ruins string quartet. I gess this is the way they have to make you pay for well done products, since this issue would fail any basic test..

Every note is played glissando in the solo violins and it doesn't sound good

So far pizzicatos are great, except when putting a staccato to pizz cello and contrabass but it still vibrates is bugging me. There is also an issue the contrabass pizz is too quiet to be used for big band music since contrabass is used for that type of music as well.

Violin 1 (Section & Solo) is too loud Viola (Section & Solo) is too quiet Too much portamento on solo instruments No Contrabass (Solo)

The balance between Violin 1 and everything else needs to be edited so they're more equal.

These are among the best strings sounds I've ever worked with — better even than some VSTs I've paid for. However, there are a couple of things I'd suggest for improvement. First of all, it would benefit from a solo double bass. This would be useful in some classical contexts like chamber music or double bass concertos, but also in jazz. I'm currently using the CineStrings solo bass for these cases (although I prefer the Muse Sounds solo strings for violin, viola, and cello). Second, there are some volume balance issues. Section Violins 1 are louder than Section Violins 2. More notable are the volume issues with the violas and solo cello. Since originally writing this review, the solo viola has since been adjusted to a more suitable dynamic, but the viola section is still too quiet at louder dynamics. The solo cello was also made louder, but I think it's a bit too loud now (no solo string should be louder than the corresponding section if both are playing at the same dynamic).

I was clearly not expecting such quality. Awesome there! Keep up such amazing work Muse team! <3

Even the Violins 1 are much better than before the Hub's update
