Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Audiobro LA Scoring Strings.

Comparisons

  • Users note that Audiobro's Symphony Series String Ensemble, made with Native Instruments, is a lush alternative with mod wheel dynamics but lacks esoteric articulations compared to LASS.

    Source
  • Audiobro LA Scoring Strings 2 is suggested as possibly contributing to a detuned effect similar to older virtual string libraries, a characteristic noted in recordings over a decade ago.

Features and functionality

  • Heavyocity Novo Essentials offers a cheaper string section patch with unique sound design possibilities, ideal for EDM, though not as flexible as LASS or Spitfire.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • Cinematic Studio Strings are praised for professional quality at a lower cost, needing a bit of top-end boost and hall reverb for optimal sound.

    Source

User experience

  • Some find LASS thin and warbly if not handled expertly, emphasizing the need for post-production to achieve professional sound quality.

    Source
  • Owners highlight the challenge of replicating real musician emotion with sample libraries, emphasizing the difficulty in capturing articulation and dynamic playing through MIDI.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Output Analog Strings are suitable for EDM-style pop, but it’s more of a synth/pad library, not for programming realistic strings.

    Source
  • The melancholic and dramatic character of certain orchestral recordings is linked to live musicians' techniques, such as sliding, vibrato, and varied bowing, which are hard to emulate in samples.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • Seventh Heaven’s Scoring Stage preset can enhance dry string libraries, providing airiness beyond traditional convolution reverb for a more expensive sound.

The library excels in realistic legato and provides a practical first-chair solo player option, enhancing expressiveness in compositions.

LA Scoring Strings (LASS) Review

musiclibraryreport.com

Audiobro's LA Scoring Strings (LASS) offers an impressive suite of articulations and cutting-edge features like auto-divisi, making it a top choice for composers seeking realism in string arrangements. Its intuitive new engine and Auto Arranger streamline the orchestration process, while updates in LASS 3 enhance legato and workflow efficiency. However, the lack of controllable vibrato in First Chair patches is a notable shortcoming. Despite the high price tag, its quality and versatility make it a worthwhile investment for serious musicians.
