Igudesman Solo Violin by Orchestral Tools — https://www.orchestraltools.com/store...

This is the first time I've put any effort into going "on camera" for a YouTube video. Learned a lot, next time it will be better.

Summary: This violin is not for everyone. But sound designers and seekers of unique sampled instruments might love it!

That said, I had many "technical issues" recording this on screen product demo that you will notice, so I might as well mention them, so you know I know they exist:

• The audio is crappy mp3 compression, but it's adequate for most of the articulations, except for the gorgeous high sustains that got brutally ruined.
• The video and 6 separate audio tracks kept going out of sync. Argh. I spent a lot of time editing things to be on time but they still got out of sync in the final render. I've read that this sometimes happens when you start working in 4K and I might need to begin using proxies to edit.
• I have "bed head" ... the three previous video takes had nicer wardrobe and hair. And I was shaven in the previous takes. But this take (the next morning), turned out to be the best demo ... even though I look the worst.

The audio is my biggest concern (to get sounding better) moving forward, because I can certainly look better and get things in sync, eventually. It's weird because the audio doesn't sound at all bad when I play back the mkv output from OBS ... but I could not for the life of me export (remux?) it into decent audio for some reason. Oh well. I am a recovering perfectionist. So I will post this for now and move on ... nothing's perfect.

No sponsorship, I bought the instrument with my own money and these are entirely my own thoughts and opinions.
