Hi
Just received an email from Dan at Hideaway about his new Kontakt Library called String Collection - Nothing particularly new but I had a listen and decided to buy because I thought it sounded really good and it's only 10 pounds....

Nostalgic...loverly...and cheap.

Pretty nice sounding for modelled strings. He sure did a good job. I'm a little on the fence with this one, but by the end of tomorrow I've probably picked it up anyway

All Hideaway's stuff sounds pretty good and they are ALL CHEAP - some of the single sound stuff for Kontakt are only 1.50 pounds each!!
And Dan's a really nice guy which helps.

These will sound fabulous mixed in just a tad with a "real" legato string package.  Adding just the right amount of warmth and phatness.

Thanks for the heads up. It's one site I had not seen before, it looks like there is some pretty interesting stuff there.

These do sound nice!  I kept on thinking that the GUI and web page layout with other instruments for sale below looked like it was a Hollow Sun product.  Listening to the audio it sounded like it was a Hollow Sun project, but it is a Hideaway Studio project.  THEN I read the credits and noticed that Stephen from Hollow Sun was credited for layering engine, GUI and Graphics.  What a nice collaboration.  Warm and evocative use of a Novachord and other string synths.  I may have to get this one.

Did I count correctly? - 17 instruments in their total collection and you can get the lot for 71.50. (UK Pounds)

The Pentodian Resonator Choir for a tenner has got my interest.

Thanks for the heads up, the demo sounds great.
 
I have the S-VX and orbitine Collections and really like them. Very warm and lots of creative possibilites.
 
The pricing is also great!

I have most of their stuff - the Pentodian Choir is one I have actually already used on a couple of occasions  - just seems to "fit" where I was having issues with a couple other libraries.
Haven't used some of the other stuff, but am planning to do so on the next project.
Cheers
