Thanks so much for your kind words.

I hope you guys keep on adding stuff like this to the symphonic range. I'd like to see something like this for Spitfire Symphonic Brass. Especially crescendos with various lengths. I'm imaging something like S4:Pandora by Project SAM, but with the same players as the Spitfire Symphonic range and at AIR, so I don't have to worry about blending, etc.

Christian, congrats to that educative AND entertaining video! I really liked that (may I say humble?) approach. Sound is gorgeous as always, great concept, too - and I definitely can see the use case (even if it is too much niche for my wallet at this time ;-)...).

I think this is a superb development and evolution for humanization and actualization for virtual instruments. I hope that you will be able to extend that throughout the strings and beyond. It sounds incredible from these videos, and I can only imagine how it would be to work with it. Still want that little 2 fader box he has in front of him...lol.

I really love the passionate way you explain the intensions when compiling a library and the honesty you employ with explaining about the CPU binge it can require if running on a gas powered mac like mine. Ha Ha.

Nice!

It is totally inspirational, easy purchase.

Ah! So helpful! I somehow missed the little cog! Being able to change the pitch stretch algorithms to ease the cpu burden would make this sample library so much more usable! That addresses 90% of what I didn’t like about using this library. Now if I could just magnify the tiny text around the grid, it would be absolutely perfect!

Loved how you called out the dirty minds among us

"Thanks, as always, for watching to the end." Ouch!

Hope you're going to do a video about the making of your fabulous demo track with Motions

thank you

Your score for yr Motions is very Cool Christian ,, good dune,, showing pp how to score , i like this style (*-*)

I like it, but will it blend nicely with my SStudio Strings pro?

Very tidy. This kind of stuff certainly has its place in the tool kit but there's just so much out there right now. I'm still picking up/upgrading my key solo instruments at present, having decided not to go down the 'orchestra in a box' route but to pick each tool individually. Will be back for this though once Apple gets its backside in gear and gets the final intel Mac released as i have the money aside waiting and my 10 year old Mac is creaking under the strain of many of the modern libraries. Very nice stuff though. 👍

Very interesting the use of Iceni. What are fundamentally the differences from the standard strings in the Chamber/Symphonic and the Iceni? Saving $ to make my next purchase...

Love this. These kind of libraries are extremely helpful in creating rich organic, fluid textures. Nothing turns off a director or producer faster than the sound of ‘fake strings’. Perhaps in a future release, would love to have a variety of more short ‘playable’ patterns like 8Dios ostinato builder but this is a great start.

Awsome Christian! As always!

Short answer yes yes I do need this

Trying to get SF Abbey Road One to play on more than one track simultaneously in Motu Dp9. Appreciate any tips or insights.

How does it sync with your tempo? Did y'all record all the different tempo types??

reminds me action strings..

It’s great on the presets if I don’t change anything but if I tweak the mix or mic settings it pops and glitches out like crazy and I have a very powerful MacBook. What gives?

The thing about libraries that are recorded in the same room is that you don’t need to do anything to them to make your listener believe they’re all in the same place.

Heather Haze While 100% accurate, that ignores a variety of valid criticisms and feedback that Spitfire, to use one of the founder’s own terms, responded to like “dickheads.” Most of the criticism like “omg that score was trash” is wrong. Spitfire shouldn’t give these people the time of day. It was a well-done score. I didn’t think it fit the scene in any way (and in fact literally everyone I show it too finds the music distracting. Literally 100% of the people I have shown it to) but that is a judgement call. A difference in opinion is respectable. But there are valid criticisms. How could they have judged every submission when many people have reported that not a single person watched substantially all of their submission? How could they compare a violation of American law (in a global competition with American competitors, partnered with an American company, where America is one of their major markets) to putting a fish in a piano or banging on a piano really obnoxiously? How could they, when asked how this meets the stated objectives of the competition, not provide a substantive response? I mean they responded, via Christian’s youtube video, by basically saying they did everything correct and all the criticism and feedback is wrong. What is humorous about this situation isn’t that the guy won, it is how Spitfire responded to the situation. But then again, that is a very different perspective than what many people speaking out against Spitfire have so I probably should have been more explicit

By the way, the only comments I've seen from Hans Zimmer were highly critical of the "outraged" critics, NOT the contest OR Spitfire Audio. And he's right. The degree of unprofessional "entitlement and hubris" that has poured forth has been eye-opening.
