I see this constantly as a facebook ad. Is it new?
They sound pretty good.
https://www.performancesamples.com/pacific-ensemblestringsDoes anyone have it?
Not new (they are from December 22) but they are on sale right now!

They are probably the best strings you can get along with CSS and Spitfire's AR One.
The shorts in particular are the best ones I know.
Only thing it doesn't do good is runs, I use the CSS marcato legato patch for this, or should I say "used", since the new Abbey Road Violins by Spitfire are just stellar.
The mix of Pacific Strings is very film-score like, much clearer than CSS.
If you want to do a "bread and butter library " purchase I would recommend it, but with the new Abbey Road series by Spitfire coming now those will be the most deep sampled strings to be ever made, but therefore much more expensive (and more resource heavy, Performance Samples libraries are extremely low on resources.)

2 years later and I have to do a couple of midi mock ups, that's why I bump this thread again.
How exactly do you do that?
I have Cubase 12. Do you know where I should look at the manual?
Well the easiest way is slowing down you project tempo (the bpm) and then return to normal speed once you finished recording the midi in.
I also recommend using step input, you can take all the time you need and everything is quantized (which is good if you're working on the grid and not good it you're normally off the grid)
Retrospective Record is also very cool, it saved my improvisations a lot of times

English translation of the caption:
This concert dedicated to Howard Shore brings several iconic soundtracks to life: the soundtrack to Peter Jackson's first installment of The Lord of the Rings, of course, but also the soundtracks to The Fly and Naked Lunch, two films by David Cronenberg.
The Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France is also using this tribute weekend to honor Howard Shore as a concert composer. Thus, his "Fanfare for Organ and Brass" and "The Forest," a concerto for guitar and orchestra, can be heard as French premieres.
For this decidedly cinolastic concert, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France performs under the baton of Ludwig Wicki. Gathered around him, in addition to the Radio France Choir and Youth Choir - respectively conducted by Lionel Sow and Morgan Jourdain - are guitarist Miloš, organist Karol Mossakowski, saxophonist Stéphane Guillaume, soprano Jiyoung Kim and tenor Cyril Verhulst.
Program:
Fanfare for Organ and Brass (concerto, French premiere).
"The Fly," music from the film "The Fly" by David Cronenberg.
"Naked Lunch", music from the film "Naked Lunch" by David Cronenberg
"The Forest", concerto for guitar and orchestra (concerto, French premiere)
"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" for symphony orchestra and choir, music from the film "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship" by Peter JacksonRecorded on May 12, 2023 at the Auditorium of Radio France, Paris.

Towering Inferno 3-8-18 FIX
from the sheet music I was able to extract these edits:
0:00-4:34 Keith Lockhart CD
then 5 bar insert reprising the main melody - cut to 5:31 Keith Lockhart version until the end (Harp glissando and cymbal strike added at the junction).
Seems like a reasonable fix for a concert version, cuts out the quieter part and shortens the (in my opinion somewhat lengthy) piece.
I wasn't able to find any recordings of this version yet, unfortunately.

Are you referring to the version on the Lockhart CD?
That’s the old version (from 2017 I think?)
-
Okay, I will try to find a recording of this version and summarize the changes.

I guess any performance of the piece after this date would be this version, does anyone know of a concert where it was part of the program?
-
Has the updated version of The Towering Inferno Theme been registered yet? There is a version with fixes from 3-8-18, which has a couple of changed bars towards the end.

Right now I have a lot of free time until the start of the new semester at my university in mid-October, so I expect to be able to upload a few unscheduled additional videos! If you have any ideas for cues/pieces that would still need to be done, let me know here or in PMs :).

By changing the speed. Pitch shifting alone will distort the quality, but if you adjust the pitch by changing the speed too, that distortion won't be there, just a visual anomaly in the spectrogram of the frequencies being lower or higher than the rest of the music.
I did that in Audacity too and the quality was not really good as well.
