Comparison of Emotional Cello, Synchron-ized Solo Strings, and SWAM-S (Cello)

1. Score Recognition I'm currently receiving remote lessons from my teacher on Elgar's Cello Concerto, but in my spare time, I've started gradually inputting Schumann's Cello Concerto in A minor, Op. 129. This piece, along with Dvořák and Haydn (No. 2), represents the pinnacle of the cello...

Saint-Saëns' "The Swan." It's the 13th movement from the suite "The Carnival of the Animals." I imagine this piece inspired many people to start playing the cello. It's an absolutely legendary masterpiece you just want to play right away. ...That said, it's surprisingly difficult, and at first, the opening...

　I have been studying the cello sound source "SWAM-S" which I recently acquired.　I have chosen a subject from a selection of cello pieces, the first of which is Fauré's "After a Dream".　Originally the first piece of the song "Three Songs Op. 7", it is a beautiful piece often played by cellos and other stringed instruments.　In the middle of the...

　I have recently acquired SWAM-S (cello), a physical model sound source from Audio Modering called SWAM, and have been researching a small cello piece as a subject. 　I am currently using "Emotional Cello" by BEST SERVICE and "SYNCHRON-IZED SOLO STRIN..." by VIENNA.

　Audiobro's "La Scoring Strings" has been upgraded from 2.5 to 3.　I immediately got it and tried it. (Albinoni Adagio) The user interface has been changed significantly, and it uses the same interface developed for the recently released "Modern Scoring Strings" from Audiobro...

　I have been reexamining the solo violin sound source.　I am currently using the "Spitfire Solo Strings" as my solo violin sound source.　I think this sound source is quite good in the way it handles, but sometimes the soundstage and localization are unstable...

　In fact, after I started learning the choro, I learned that Bach's Suite for Unaccompanied Choro is called the "Old Testament" of the cello and Beethoven's Cello Sonata is called the "New Testament" of the cello.　Now that I see it, I wonder if that is indeed what it is.... 　The unaccompanied cello sonatas go all the way up to No. 6, but 1...

　I decided to try to type the Prelude from Bach's Suite No. 2 for Unaccompanied Cello, which I am just now reviewing.　Interestingly, when I was reviewing the score in detail with this intention, I began to see new sound structures that I had not paid attention to when I was simply practicing...
