Critic Reviews

UVI IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 Review

musictech.com

UVI IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 showcases a compelling blend of traditional and avant-garde sounds, offering 16 deeply sampled instruments captured in a dry setting that may initially feel abrasive. While the library excels in unique textures and detailed articulations, some users may find the polyphonic legato and dynamic controls occasionally glitchy or abrupt. The lack of individual mic control might frustrate those seeking more nuanced mixing options. Nonetheless, this collection shines for those looking to push boundaries in their compositions, making it a worthy addition for adventurous musicians.

Review: IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 from UVI | Audio Plugin Guy

audiopluginguy.com

UVI's IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 offers a wealth of orchestral sounds with over 550 playing styles played by professional musicians. While the sound quality is top-notch and the collection is perfect for seasoned composers looking to create modern, intimate pieces for film or TV, it demands a certain level of expertise to navigate effectively. Novice users may struggle to achieve desirable results quickly, which could be frustrating. Priced at €299, this collection is a serious investment that caters more to professionals than beginners. Overall, it shines in skilled hands but may leave newcomers feeling overwhelmed.

"I bought IRCAM Solo Instruments 1 as soon as it came out. It was the solo instruments library that dared to go places that others dared not. IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 is the sequel that is somehow better than the wonderful original, and I can use my MPE controllers now. Unique!"
