However, VSL is simply not a library I’d be likely to load if I wanted to write fiddle parts (there’s no non-vibrato interval legato, for instance) or certain ethnic styles and there are certainly times where a piece I’m working on benefits from a different take on vibrato than the library offers (either less or more or sometimes simply different in timing or timbre). With that said, keep in mind that there are large overlaps with the performance of classical music in other places, such as the United States or Russia for starters, and that a lot of film scores have been built upon that. If you wanted performances with less flexibility but more specific expression built-in you’d have to look to another library, especially if the styles you were looking to work with fell far outside the Western European Classical tradition. When your sampling target is a pristine and consistent product with performances consistent with a Western European classical aesthetic, provided with maximum mixing flexibility and user control and minimal ambience, that means that there are certain things people might want or ask for that would take a lot of effort to create with the library. Differing Viewpoints Now, it’s that very consistency that sometimes can be a polarizing point for people in regards to VSL’s sound and approach.
