N3 Sounds Woes (and Solution?)
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2009 6:02 pm
Greetings and Salutation!
Well, it is becoming apparent that there are *many* problems with the N3 sounds. In addition to what has already been discussed, I would like to add:
1. The oboe sounds like a clarinet in its middle register.
2. The solo violin is tinny all around and the solo cello is also tinny in its higher register.
3. The attack on the staccato techniques is far too hard (much better in N2).
4. There is an inconsistent delay in the start of trill techniques (some delay so much that no trill is heard at all on shorter note durations or at faster tempos). Trills should start immediately, with a way to evoke an optional delay, if desired.
That said (as well as what has already been pointed out elsewhere), I would like to offer up the following suggestion:
Although Disk 2 provides a healthy amount of N2 sounds (none of which so far has exhibited the problems encountered with the N3 sounds), it does not include *all* playing techniques for those of who purchased all of the N2 Sound Kits and have incorporated many of the techniques not included on Disk 2 in our existing scores.
Therefore, is there *any* way that the Notion wizards (and please believe me when I say that I think you all have done a *great* and Herculean job with N3) can figure out a way for us to access *all* of our installed N2 Sound Kit sounds/techniques (even through a quick-and-no-frills Vst) for use with N3 kinda ASAP? It could really be a quick solution for those of us who want to work with N3 while you spend quality time on fixing the N3 sounds.
Just a thought that I hope is given serious considertion,
DrH
