My bank account shakes in fear every time you make one of these videos, Dom! 😂 I love these kinds of libraries. Always inspiring.

Great video Dom! I think what also matters is you actually play these instruments as they’re intended to be played which adds to the realism. Many musicians don’t realize that you have to imagine you are playing that instrument and know about its scales and what it can and cannot do to make it sound its best.

You are awesome Dom!! Love your comments & insights!! Well done!!

Great video as always Dom. Your playing is awesome. Can’t wait for part 2. Thanks!

Loved part 1, looking forward to part 2.

Thank you, Dom! I would like to see a part 2 of more instruments like these.

Hey Dom! Massive fan here ❤‍🔥 Your video featuring the Rhodope Bulgarian choir VST from a while back was a game-changer for me. I've been a huge admirer of composer Kevin Penkin, especially his "Tower of God" soundtrack. Thanks to your video, I finally found out where he got that sound from. I'd definitely recommend checking the soundtrack out. I think you'd like it a lot. Anyways, keep the awesome content coming and have a nice rest of your day🔥

Please Do the Part 2. I'm so happy I found you. You play with so much Passion. WoW.

Thank you, Dom! Please make, part 2!

one of the best library video out there 🔥🔥❤️❤️🙏🏻🫡🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for this video , yes please do part 2

love your work always Dom need part 2.

Loved the new library...... All instruments, are unique.... Love from India 🇮🇳🙏

Even, with a kazoo, you could make something beautiful. Looking forward to part 2.

Incredible.

Nice demonstration Dom, inspiring!

Thank you for this beautiful intro to awesome instruments.. it woukd be awesome to hear the rest.. very inspiring..

I love this one!!

Awesome demo's - love it !

Amazing video ❤️

Beautifully recorded and beautifully played, Dom. A few of these samples would fall flat without your consummate playing skill. Superb!

Thanks Dom, great previews.

Wonderful 👏👏👏

Hey Dom, hope you’re well my friend. Just purchased Cubase 13 from logic, your videos are really helping to understand everything in the software…. I appreciate you

And YES PLEASE MAKE A SECOND PART ❤🔥

i love the use of the duduk by Bear McCreary in his scores, especially battlestar galactica

Some really inspiring stunning sounds, serious talented fingers Dom, you make it look so easy! Such a great nimble pianist. Something that I’ve often thought about whilst playing string/real instruments via midi, is that it’s often difficult to know ‘how’ to actually play them, in order make the instruments sound more realistic. World Instruments are often a little more complex in technique aspects as well as tunings. I’d love to see some dedicated explanations of different ‘playing techniques’ of these sounds. Brilliant production as always Dom! Fantastic and interesting video.

Thanks for sharing some good libraries.

Muchas Gracias ....Hermoso

Thanks!

DOM PLS DO A PART 2 THIS IS SO AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing the knowledge

Aaaaand Here we Go , that's the video for me 😂 thank you Dom ❤

Nice one as always. waiting for part 2

Dom thanks a lot for you huge effort ! 🤝👊 big BOOM 💥!!!😊

Yep, this is a great video! Thx

Thank you friend ... we loved you and we admire you and if you want later with the mandolin we will send you a small bouzouki.... baglamadaki ... stay at the top for us too...!!!

Above all i commented below i am sincerely congratulating Dom for his love for the Diversity of Humanity coming thro his playing itself based on careful listening to various national specific pieces and then reproducing the music and its Spirit throughout this inspiring production. It is a great pleasure to listen and to discover the mosaic of Humanity having Dom as a gifted guide with a Golden Heart matched by Golden Fingers❤🎉🎉🎉

awesome! part 2 for SURE!

Bless up Dom. Great vid as per. 2:13 'World Music' is a better terminology imo. its fusion in many of today's genres renders the term 'ethnic' redundant. I'm a sucker for a nice Duduk, Instant goosebumps every time. Great selection highlighted. 'With great musical power, comes great terrabytes of SDD responsibility' lol Liking the image comp on your video, saw this on one of your past thumbnails and thought wouldn't it be good if.......then you brought it to life. Nice one dude!

Great Music 😊❤

Fantastic video! I love them all and I have them all, haha.For Part 2, try the Ethera Gold Atlantis 3, Sahara Voices, and Prometheus libraries by Zero-G, you won't regret it. They are among my favorites. Amazing True Legato, lots of vocal phrases, and a lot of passion from the developer, who is a great guy.

@@michaellazaridis942 Yes, to use the Ethera Gold Series ( Atlantis III, Sahara Voices, prometheus ) yuo need Kontakt Full, but are amazing, check for the Stefano Maccarelli videos ( the developer)

Excellent content Dom. Do you think you can do a video on mixing and mastering with headphones using Steinberg's headphone match and comparing it with dSoniq's realphones and maybe sonarworks? Thanks and keep making these very helpful videos.

Dom man, you just played "Djurdjevdan" ("Lily of the valley day") from Goran Bregovic, this song in our Serbian history is very important and thanks for this man, totally unexpected

Part 2 please, and thank you.

Cheers for the demo tour! From what I've gathered, most of these Persian and Ottoman libraries do not have playable authentic quarter scale tunings available. Some microtonal articulations in the samples get close but not quite enough.

Incridibles VST! thanks a lot for this video Dom! I subscribe your channel! Swane

thank you for doing what you do.... and like one of your other subscribers said my wallet will fear me watching your streams lol

i would say,anatolia strings and breathe,also east west ra,PRECISIONSOUND kantele etc.sonokinetic kemence

Hi Dom, please please you could do a video on transferring our steinberg software from the dongle to steinberg licensing ? some seems to work, others dont, and some like my absolute 3 seem to not have the option. I am sure I'm not the only one who is a little baffled and would really appreciate your help. love your videos and have been watching for years :) All the best !

As always a great video, as always (at least) one new purchase ;) I've never heard you play Zero-G libraries, I think they get far too little praise, especially the price-performance ratio. Sahara Voices and Atlantis are definitely among my “world music” vocal favorites

dude has brilliant keyboard skills

I like to play piano 😊 I'm still learning to play the piano, it's not easy, but I'll continue until I master it💪🏻😁

The strings sounded like an Italian theme song. And a bit of Persian flair.

As a musician from Russia, I'd say that you display a big Russian soul when you play the balalaika! 😊 Upon watching this video, I noticed that themes from the 'Sherlock' movie used an Indian instrument. Wanna see next part! Thank you!

19:50 I like this emotion

Dom I'll for ever be grateful for your channel you've not just made me good producer but a unique producer ❤❤❤❤❤when am producing in Cubase my friend wonder how i do it 🙏🙏🙏they all produce in FL studio 😂

I looked for other videos discussing your physical desk workstation. I would love to know what you did to make your setup usable with that S88 cover, mixer, and large screen setup. I struggle with back and arm pain with a S88 sliding from under my desk and computer above desk with 32” screen on top of desk. If you talk about your ergonomics in your setup, it would help me and probably many others.

Hey Dom, thank you for all the videos, i learn a lot from it! 😊 i discocered the following Cubase 13 Problems: The Vocoder seem to doesn't get the right Midi Chord Notes sometimes. And Cubase (13) doesn't add new songs/projects to the index, so it's not possible, to find it with F5 / Mediabay - is that my fault or can you reproduce it?? greetings, Alex

It looks yu love netflix alot.. So large screen. Fit for watchin movi pnly

I love ethenic liberary

Byzantine music has 13 different types of keyboards to cover the whole repertoire. Each keyboard covers a number of modes and possible modulations...

part 2 please.

pls do part 2

Dom. Not sure you use or ever demoed the AMAZING VST from Eduardo Tarilonte Best Service. They are in a league of their own!!! All of them

I still prefer the Emu Sound library from the early 90s, they just sound so real.

As always, a very interesting video, Dom. I didn’t know some of the libraries at all. However, I’m surprised that you’re showing „EW Silk“ but not „EW Ra“. Just didn’t have it on your radar, or do you really believe that EW Ra is worse than the libraries you showed? Greetings from the Vulkaneifel.

these first phrases bouzuki riffs sounds like a latin requinto or portorrican cuatro

CLASSICS !!!

Fantastic video my friend. The theme you are looking for is the theme from Jesus of Nazareth series by Franco Zeffirelli.

Great video but...I need this screen! Oh wait a sec... 😀😁

Maybe VSL in part 2? They have some nice ethnic woodwinds and drums.

Molto interessante. Grazie. Per il duduk quale consiglia per realismo e flessibilità: duduk della sonus o della Ilia? Grazie

Would be great to see a video on the evolution series world percussion libraries. They just released 3.0 there this month.

PART 2 PlZ DOM

Interesting design have that master keyboard :-) who is manufacturer? (I use Kurzweil Forte, i don't need it, just curious.)

Hey Dom, I know this is not related to this video. But I'm having issues with my Steinberg UR816C when I try to use my Warm Audio VCA Bus Comp as an external plugin, the outs from my comp go to the ins of the UR816C but when I run the Outs of the UR816C back into the Comp I get this high pitched feedback look and then the whomp whomp. I'm wondering have you ever experienced a situation like what's described above. Now if I just send the Outs of the Comp to The UR816C there are no issues and send my MPC to the ins of the Comp it works fine same as when I use a Send and Return on my Behringer Xenyx 2222 it works fine. I would greatly appreciate any input you have because I really want to use it as an External plugin. Cheers. Look forward to hearing from you or someone who has Knowledge about routing with Steinberg's DSP Control software

The Duduk always reminds me of the Myst games.

Hi bro.. followed U thru tiktok also.. great videos bruh . May I know where to get that screen of yours? Cos regular monitor/screen will not show much for kontakt library , most of the time I can't see anything even on my 32 inch screen

Bouzouki is maybe a bit too clean. It could have a left hand modifier named “Ouzo”

So … yes, Part 2 please 😁 I personally have UVI Audio’s Quadra - Traveler. I got it because of a particular project where I wanted to evoke “Blade Runner as if it were set in Constantinople”. This gave me not only a lot of non-Western instruments, but also selected synthesised tones. Several of the presets combine these elements and thus could create instantly that image in mind. Once again, very nice job on the playing where even if you are using a keyboard, you are considering the instrument you are meant to “play” and will play accordingly (i.e. so many notes in a run on a guitar, the fact you have to breathe every now and then on the aerophone instruments, etc.).

10:58 is the theme from the movie of jesus, the old movie

Hi Dom . Where can I find a Kabal sound?Have you got any idea ?

As you get to a certain age, ones eye sight warrants a 48inch 4k asus rog monitor 😂 to be honest it looks like a video fx zoom plugin

Hello, I would like to ask why Cubase does not have this feature?supports ctrl+z operations (recording all parameters of VST), but Cubase is not working. Additionally, I am unable to select multiple tracks on Cubase for unified adjustment (not precise enough). If these two issues are resolved, I will not hesitate to use Cubase/nundo. How did you solve this problem? Adapt to it? Is there a similar setting?You are the most professional and official engineer/music producer I have ever seen on KZread. Please help me!

Sweet video Dom. How is the large monitor treating you? What make and model is it?

For a second there I was going to say welcome to the club of giant monitors (I have a 43" LG 4K) but then I noticed a little glitch on the top left! ;)

PART 2!!!!

Are there rhythms given by East West or by Gypsy? There s a great number of rhythms in Arabic music...tens of them. Ottoman music has about 22 rhythms. What are the years of these libraries? New Editions as well??

Thanks for the libraries suggestions , they all sound great The theme you were looking for must be the theme from Jesus from Nazareth By the way the greek tunes are "perasmenes , mou agapes " by Mary Linda and Manos Chiotis (a legend in the history of the bouzouki instrument) and "Vrehei fotia sti strata mou" by Stratos Dionysiou. (At first i posted the videos but then i thought it might cause you trouble with the demonetisation so i changed the post , still doing the job though for anyone who wants to look for the tunes .)

Hello and thanks for your videos, because you're an expert in Cubase. I have a problem with the Quantize. Why doesn't Cubase quantize properly. I create a simple 4/4, 1/16 rock beat with a simple steady kick and snare. Once I hit quantize, Cubase randomly places everything everywhere else and sounds ridiculously off. Please help

Hey Tom, great video. Btw, do you have Greek roots? Your surname seems Greek to me (i'm Greek too), and your "bouzouki" playing and the examples you chose are too obvious for Greeks.😄

Great stuff! Btw take it easy on "ethnic" it is a delimitting term for a cultural region. These regions have their own sounds, instruments, rytms, grades, expressions. It is a scientific term. To love it or hate it, it stays there anyways.
