Plugins: orchestral libraries

Appreciated, and I think they do sound great, but as I mentioned earlier, the articulation cobweb mess that EW has will probably prevent any future purchase. I'm old, lazy, and impatient.  I don't have the time or inclination to dechiper all that. 

 

I simply just get the part recorded into Studio One, then I'll manually write in the keyswitch articulations when and where I need them.  It does take practice.

 

I will say, that I have both the EW Composer Cloud+ and IK Miroslav Philharmonik 2, and I find myself using both at the same time.  To me, some things sound better in EW, others sound better in Philharmonik.

Couldn't you also write with a standard articulation and have multiple tracks for an instrument, copy-pasting into new tracks for new articulations?

 

That way your negative articulation delays could be easily compensated for if your library has (cough) inconsistent articulations?  😅

That could be a way to do it.  Another way would be to have a separate track for keyswitches only, just to clean up that bit of clutter.  I like to keep as simple a track layout as I can, so I'm not looking at so many things at once.  A solution to that would be to use track folders.
