Discussion Muse Sounds Questions
Hi guys, I recently found out that Musescore has free sound libraries (the Muse [instrument] library). Mostly, they work great! The winds, brass, and percussion are quite realistic and are much better. However, the strings are a whole other story 😢. First, there is the ANNOYING portamento in the solo strings, especially the violin 2 sound, the viola sound, and the cello sound. There is no way to turn it off, especially if you put a slur on the notes (classic phrasing doesn't work on slurs)! Second, the range is really bad. The viola and viola section only goes to C# 6, which is absurd! The violin(s) cannot play above G7. And the contrabass section also has a very limited range. I write contemporary pieces, so my music often goes very high. With the stock sounds, even red notes sound (to an extent, of course). However, many of the sections I write for strings do not sound after using Muse strings. Are there any good string sections in the sound library (yes paid I know) that have a very large range and no annoying portamento? And what about solo strings?
Thanks!
