Orchestra String Instruments By Size

Lots of articulations that play well together. I also find the synchron player easier/faster to use than Vienna's older Vienna Instrument player or Kontakt based sample sets. Note that Elite sits somewhere between Chamber and Pro/I orchestra in terms of number of strings. I find that the number of strings in the Pro/I orchestra is enough that you lose some of that sense of 'bow on string'. With Elite you still hear some of that 'bow on the string'. Layering Elite on Pro is also really useful.

a great closely MICed string ensemble. great for small orchestra work. Definetly a learning curve to figure things out, but rewards when you do.

I use this mic to record string and wind (brass mostly) instruments.  The different patterns make it effective in a variety of spaces depending on whether you want to reject other sounds or include reflections.  Versatile and great sound quality.

This mic sounds very nice for vocals, plucked string instruments, and woodwind instruments (at least that's what I've tried it on). I highly recommend it!

If you're at all interested in The Orchestra just get it when it goes on sale. It's awesome.

A few years ago manufacturers were charging north of $80 for one of these gear rings. Now for $2 you get a ring that works perfectly with your follow focus unit that can be split down further into two separate rings. It's the perfect choice for turning your photo lenses into perfectly compatible cinema like lenses for your AKS system. I am using it for my Mamiya 645 glass which was the 72-74mm size. Super easy to measure what size is for your particular lens. Take a string and wrap it around the focus barrel of your lens. Where the string touches itself, straighten the string out from that point mildly taut and measure with a ruler.

If you work in the orchestra field, these reverbs are mandatory.

A quick way to not string cables across the stage.

Great size - Great Price and very versatile uses - not just for instruments on-stage, including securely holding recording equipment, saving space on the console or desk stop

The recrding quality and size of he isomax 2 microphones make them the perfect choice for recording percussion instruments like frame drums, udus and other instruments that create internal sound which are hard to capture with an external microphone. The best result often is a mix of internal and external micing; my choice for he internal part is isomax
