Miroslav Classik Edition review
The Miroslav Classik Edition instrument is fairly simple, operating in both stand-alone and plugin modes. It seems to cover a thorough range of instruments, including all the major orchestral sections and a fair sampling of solo versions of the major instruments. As for sound quality, it’s pretty darn good. Nice rich sounds; far better other synth and sampler instruments I’ve used.
Pros:
- Rich, realistic sounds
- Cheap: $200.00 for a decent orchestral library ain’t bad
- Decent selection that covers the entire orchestra
Cons:
- IK Multimedia’s registration process is a frustrating nightmare (note that you can’t just authorize installation with an admin account while logged in to a regular user’s account; you have to be logged in as admin to authorize. That one cost me a few hours)
- Sounds are so rich and idiomatic that they may be recognizable as being from this particular sample library
- Limited to the classical orchestra with no option to add other sounds
- While it covers the standard orchestra well, it doesn’t contain anything truly exotic
