“I spent virtually no effort moving it over, I just replaced all the CS2 nki’s with CSS nki’s and it just worked. Remarkable how playable it is with minimal programming.

All I had to do was apply around a -100 ms offset to the tracks to get it to line up.”Nabeel captured some screen grabs of each of his midi parts which I have posted at the bottom of the page as well as rendered out each of the 4 mic options for both Cinematic Studio Strings and Cinematic Strings 2 for us to hear bare with no other instruments – below.MIXED MIC OUTPUTSole Theme – CSS Cinematic Studio Strings Render (Mixed Mic)Sole Theme using CS2 Cinematic Strings 2 Render (Mixed Mic)“Absolutely nothing was mixed, or tweaked. Cisco set top box cracked. Everything was normalized to 0.0db mic volume, -6.0dB Kontakt nki volume (the default). No panning or EQ, no external reverb. What you hear is exactly what comes in the library when you launch it.”CLOSE MIC OUTPUTSole Theme using CSS Cinematic Studio Strings (Close Mic)Sole Theme using CS2 Cinematic Strings 2 (Close Mic).

I don’t consider CSS a replacement for it, I think they both have a solid tone that’s useful depending on application. On a pure value perspective for the composer who doesn’t have all the money in the world, I’d recommend CSS to any newcomer simply because it’s a little more refined in the interface and has a wider set of articulations.As a listener myself I agree with Nabeel’s findings and hope to get a chance to do an in-depth review of CSS to share with you sometime in the future.Big thanks to for sharing his comparison!
