Critic Reviews

ERA II Medieval Legends Review

musictech.com

Eduardo Tarilonte's ERA II - Medieval Legends is a treasure trove of unique soundscapes and ancient instruments, delivering an impressive 20.9GB of content that transcends typical medieval themes. The new Best Service player enhances usability, allowing for seamless integration into any DAW. However, while the collection is vast and sonically rich, those who own the original may find it less compelling given the overlap in content. Additionally, the limited edition extras may leave some wanting more. Overall, it's a fantastic resource for producers seeking to infuse their work with historical depth and originality, making it a worthy addition for newcomers to the Era series.

Medieval Sample Library (Era II Review) – Professional Composers

professionalcomposers.com

ERA II – Medieval Legends offers a rich tapestry of medieval sounds, perfect for creating authentic fantasy folk music. With 25 GB of samples, it excels in capturing the rustic charm of ancient instruments like the hurdy gurdy and tagelharpa. The plucked strings and winds are standout categories, providing a delightful sonic palette. However, the review acknowledges that nothing can quite replace the warmth of live recordings, suggesting the library is best used as an enhancement rather than a complete solution. While it's a remarkable collection for genre enthusiasts, it may fall short for those seeking purely authentic tracks. Overall, a valuable resource for composers willing to blend digital and acoustic elements.
