Folk music does not use glissandos like traditional orchestral music. This makes the Muse Strings the wrong plugin for Celtic, Bluegrass, and other types of fiddle music. Also, like many users mentioned before, the solo contrabass is missing for ensembles like the Bluegrass band, or if I replace choir sounds with strings. Please make sure you actually fix these issues in your next update.

the best strings money can't buy. my only two complaints are: solo viola is too quiet when compared to the rest there's no solo double bass

So far pizzicatos are great, except when putting a staccato to pizz cello and contrabass but it still vibrates is bugging me. There is also an issue the contrabass pizz is too quiet to be used for big band music since contrabass is used for that type of music as well.

Violin 1 (Section & Solo) is too loud Viola (Section & Solo) is too quiet Too much portamento on solo instruments No Contrabass (Solo)

The balance between Violin 1 and everything else needs to be edited so they're more equal.

These are among the best strings sounds I've ever worked with — better even than some VSTs I've paid for. However, there are a couple of things I'd suggest for improvement. First of all, it would benefit from a solo double bass. This would be useful in some classical contexts, but also in jazz. Second, there are some volume balance issues. Section Violins 1 are louder than Section Violins 2 (same is true for Solo Violin 1 and Solo Violin 2). More notable are the volume issues with the violas. Solo viola is far quieter than the other solo strings at all dynamics, and the viola section is too quiet at louder dynamics.

I was clearly not expecting such quality. Awesome there! Keep up such amazing work Muse team! <3

Even the Violins 1 are much better than before the Hub's update

These, and all other muse-sound free sounds are very very realistic sounding. I have noticed, with strings only, there's a good bit of "white-noise-like" feedback when notation reads for the sections to play any quieter than at a Piano level. But, the playback clarity is still just fine! Just adds another layer of noise to the music that may be overwhelming for some.
