Celtic GIGA Library....is it really good?

[Jared Hudson]

I was browsing , and came across the Celtic library again. I\'ve always been impressed with the demo, and the price! I don\'t see any reviews for it, or any awards. Does this library do justice for Celtic sounds? Is it hard to use? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

bit of a mixed bag really - solo instruments some good some pointless (Harp, Guitar - I had much better versions in other libraries), bodhran and percussion riffs and hits are great but a bit too close mic\'d for my liking, fiddle\'s OK but could do with a few more articulations. Penny whistle is great too.

Also - I found some of the tuning a bit dodgy (probably deliberate to add authenticity but I\'d prefer a concert tuned version aswell).

I used bits and pieces on this track 18months ago - can\'t remember what was doing what now though so don\'t ask! (do remember that the fiddle was doubled up with AO solo violin)
