A basic but very usable string library that is, thankfully, recorded dry, which I’m a big fan of from a mixing perspective. At the intro price it’s pretty much a steal. A really great layering library as well, to give those “too soaked in reverb” libraries a nice dry little boost. Great work.

Vivid Strings provides a very unique musical sensibility compared to the other libraries and instruments out there. I really like the variety and sonic choices available that Pulse Audio products provide. For the price – this is a great value.

Incredibly intimate and expressive library that far surpassd my expectations. This will be seeing a lot of use in the coming months. I can’t wait for the next installments and hope once they’re done we get some new articulations!

The shopping experience was great !…No problems there ! A really nice sounding program, especially for the price….The only feature that I would like to see would be an adjustable sample start knob so that you could adjust how fast or slow that you want the instrument to initially start to play….Having a set delay doesn’t work for me…

This is an excellently priced and superbly recorded set of libraries so far (vioin and celli). Looking forward to completing the collection, as it’s very versatile and sounds great!

Nice collection of orchestral string sounds with violins and celli so far. I like the various vibratos and great intro pricing, I am looking forward to the other sections.

BTW I purchased VIVID Cello not Strings. The library is good, haven’t had the time to use it extensively yet, but it sounds neat/decent compared to more pricy ones.

I had an issue with one of the vivid strings instruments, and was helped to the very end solving the mystery….Great libraries, and great customer service !
