Berlin Strings Reviews

Sounds are great, maybe they should add more techniques like "bartok pizzicato" and others.

Has a great timbre that resonates well with me.

Although not the most cinematic or warm sound, these strings have great articulations and dynamics, and are especially good for articulate and technically passages in orchestral music. One thing to note is that the violin is SIGNIFICANTLY quieter in the lower notes. The cello is pretty good though

I've been looking for a string library that has that Hollywood flavor on MuseHub, and I found it. Thank you, Orchestral Tools, for putting so much soul into this library.

There are probably better packs out there, but for the price I'm not complaining. Please fix the glissandi, I'm begging you.

Really nice and warm sound.

A good main driver, with supplemental muse or other strings.

I have some sounds that sound weird : cello and contrabass in staccato (F, G, A1, Bb1), they squeak. The expression in volume is too much strong between mp and mf and f. The sound itself of chords is good.

The sound is very good and clear. I think it's the best strings equipment. The dynamics are also very detailed like staccatos and trills. For example, a symphony with Berlin Strings sounds amazing

It has a fantastic tone quality - very realistic and expressive - I really like the sound of the violins playing high melodies but also great as a complete section.

Not really better and much less complete than the free Muse Strings.

Just burned $30 on this, basic legato strings don’t work at all and are poorly balanced. The dynamics do weird swells and drops seemingly at random so it’s pretty impossible to use. The free Musesounds strings are 1000 times better.

My projects sound amazing with Berlin Strings, I love the audio and think that the samples are great. Brilliant tone and articulation. However, the Bugs are there and do limit the capabilities of what I feel Berlin strings is capable of. Its not there yet, but it will be soon and I look forward to that day!

I’m a newbie so don’t take this for gospel, but the Berlin Strings feel pretty rough to me, I mean the actual sound - a bit scratchy, loud and a bit overwhelming. I’m going to try Symphony Strings to compare. You should look at the two articulation videos and see what I mean. Doesn’t Berlin seem coarser than Symphony? Just my opinion. I’m so glad all these products are coming out.

The samples are great, but there are bugs that hinder playback. Major ones being that the Violas are too quiet, and all the spiccatos are quiet.

I have no doubt that with just a little more programming, mostly with equaling the volumes (for some reason MS4s engine doesn't like violas), and getting runs to sound more consistent I would say that this could be amazing for MS. I hope to see this and the other sound libraries continue to be worked on because this has the potential to be amazing. With all that said though, I would say before purchasing to understand that there is some work that needs to be done but the actual sounds are good.

Dynamics are not balanced whatsoever, it sounds like a muddy mess and lacks many, many playing techniques required to make it even remotely competitive with the free library, with all its problems and limitations. A shame to be honest
