Oboe comparison: Acoustic Samples / Aaron Venture / SWAM
Музыка
An informal loose comparison between virtual oboe's based on physical modeling.
The comparison is about the sound. Every VST has lots op options to sculp it's sound , but I didn't use these, more or less out of the box. Maybe a little reverb now and then.
- Acoustic Samples VWinds
- Aaron Venture
- SWAM
Lazy recording, no sheet music. One, two takes with the TeC breath controller. No quality control.
Music inspired by one of Bach's famous aria's. I played a lot with it's chord scheme but I forgot the exact melody so there are a lot of mistakes in it. My bad.

The Acoustic Samples one knocks it out of the park. The legato is flawless, the shorts are great and there's tons of room for tweaking. ;)
Acoustic Samples for me.
Thank you for the comparison! It really helped me make a decision :)

@@Peethoven I decided on the VWinds. I like the sound of them, more so than the others. I know Aaron Venture is working on an update for his Woodwinds (and Brass, too), but, as of now, I like VWinds sound more.

@@LloydeSorrow Good choice! If you have to spend your money once, this is the one I should also choose. Although in some ways the SWAM has also it's qualities. You can have more pronounced attacks with it. The one from Aaron Venture sounds the most natural, but I can't play defined thrills with it. It has the most latency of the tree, but hopefully the update will improve on that. Enjoy your choice and make music with it. I checked out your channel, very good!

@@Peethoven for the trills, you should keep one note and trill only the other one, like a wind player does (you play the trill in the video like a keyboard player :-)

I tried myself the three libraries, Acousticsamples sounds very good with some reverb, but Aaron Venture is very good too. I love Aaron Venture Clarinets, I wonder if I need the new clarinets from AS... 😀
Acoustic Samples is definitely a cut above the rest, the second ones really good too, if the automation programming was a bit better could be a contender. Swam just sounds synthetic to me

I think I'll agree to a certain extent. The 'not so good programming' was actually 'not so good playing'. I never used more than two takes. No editing afterwards. The latency of Aaron Ventures Infinite Woodwinds made it harder to play. The SWAM could use a little more vibrato on some notes. But I don't think it sounds synthetic and it has a beautiful quack that the others are missing. :-) The Acoustic Samples is indeed the best all-rounder. In plonkability and in sound.
Acoustic Samples win!
