Hey folks, I just wanted to share our review of Spitfire Audio's latest addition to the Abbey Road Orchestra range: Abbey Road Orchestra: Cellos. We had a chance to check out the Professional edition of the sample library and shared our thoughts about its sound, features, and functions in a...

Hey fellow musicians, this my latest (and probably the last) attempt of the Imperial March from Star Wars Episode 5. The total project time is 5 hours and 30 minutes, in my estimation, 4 hours of this is actual working time. I tried to stay as close as possible to the original sound, I am not...

The sale starts in exactly three weeks and will last 8 days. What are your expectations? Will the 2019 and 2020 Aperture libraries return just as the old Albion libraries returned? Will we have last year's roulette or the beloved tombola? Will there be giving away libraries on Spitfire's...

Hello, Introducing a music I composed'Lies of P'.This piece captures the pognant ambiance of Sophia's fate. Please note, the title isn't official. and This track is not the official version.For the full experience, listen to it in the game itself. The melody of this music is the theme melody...

I'm trying to find more user content from this hidden gem, but it's not been very encouraging so far. Do you know of any mockups or demos done exclusively with the SSO series that sound _really_ good? Andy Blaney's demos speak for themselves, but I've already listened to them a LOT. Now I...

Hi all, Spitire are just running a chance to rescore the original Eric Whitacre library trailer which was 5 years ago! Not a competition, but just asking people to rescore the trailer using the Eric Whitacre library, other Spitfire libraries and your own sounds, and share it! Link for the...

Watch Paul giving a quick look at the new legato patch. We're looking forward to sharing more info with you all very soon!

Hello, I currently own a 2015 MacBook Pro ( base model with 8GB RAM) which I use for music production, orchestral and otherwise, and use Logic as the DAW. I own a fair few Spitfire libraries and as you can imagine the laptop doesn't get me very far without struggling. I also have a PC around...

Hi all, I have BBC PRO and overall I'm pleased with it as a simple 'one stop shop' for orchestral work, however I'm interested in a library/libraries that would compliment it's shortcomings, particularly in the brass, specifically with the horns and trumpets. I'm also interest in libraries that...

The Albion libraries are most certainly Spitfire Audio's flagship range. Each volume has a different characteristic, yet all are incredibly useful composing toolkits to have in your palette. In case you missed them first time round, Spitfire Audio have re-released the retired Albion Legacy...

Hello :) First post here ! I’ve looked for this precise info but couldn’t quite find it. I’m the happy owner of Spitfire Audio’s BHCT but would like to complement it with solo sections to have a full orchestra in the exact same room. I also own Kepler. I gather that the Studio Orchestra...

Spitfire Audio have once again released a new section to their Abbey Road Orchestra. This time around, Metals Percussion perfectly compliments the existing high and low percussion entries of the series. With performances from Joby Burgess and engineered by Simon Rhoades, ARO: Metal Percussion...

@Spitfire Team : Will all the legatos in SSO be updated to the new Total Performance legato? Thanks

Spitfire Audio are in the midst of their 2023 Spring Sale until May 4th! With so many instruments on offer, Pete Checkley guides you through some of his favourite instruments with some live composing to see how they all fit together. With gems like the Olafur Arnalds Toolkit, Hammers and...

I had a thought pop into my head, and also because Spitfire's Symphonic Strings has a patch, has any score used blended sections? What I mean by that is, half of a string section using consordino while the other half doesn't? For Example, for Violins 2 section made of 12 players, only 6 have...

I know Spitfire has a Soundcloud but it's a nightmare to navigate. There are many pieces I've thoroughly enjoyed over the years (particularly by Homay, Oliver and Christian) but it's terribly annoying to have to navigate their Soundcloud and there's no way to search nor create a playlist as far...

It seems there is a new addition to the Abbey Road Orchestra Range : https://www.spitfireaudio.com/abbey-road-orchestra-high-percussion (mod edit: updated video link to a non-broken one)

Hi, I wanna discuss with you guys a little bit about orchestral library. I'm gonna buy new library (money is not a concern) and I'm looking for the best. So far my choices are between: EASTWEST HO OPUS ED - seems really good, don't know about the brass maybe they don't convince me a lot...

While using Dorico 4 in Play Mode today I was surprised to see all my Spitfire Audio house player libraries listed under the category heading "Synth". This is apparently the category they have specified be applied to certain libraries in Dorico but it does seem a little strange putting AROOF...

I recently purchased Afterglow from Spitfire Audio, downloaded it, launched Logic and Kontakt, just to discover it doesn't work and I can't figure it out. I go thru all the files, but when I click the actual instrument to load it in, it only half works. By that I mean the controls and such load...

I was watching the demo by Andy Blaney for the Total Performance Flute patch, and scrolling through the comments I came across someone raising this exact point, and if you go to the timestamp they provide at 5:00 you can quite clearly see a midi controler on the desk. I initially thought it was...

Is that a Spitfire MIDI controller we see here ? :emoji_eyes:

Finally got my review out. A pretty interesting library which has an amazing tone! However, it's functionality is sometimes a bit.... meh.

I currently own: BBC Symphony Orchestra Professional (1000$) Eric Whitacre Choir (600$) Symphonic Motions (250$) Aperture The Stack (250$) Originals (all 29$): Cinematic Percussion Cinematic Soft Piano Epic Brass & Woodwinds Epic Strings Felt Piano Intimate Strings It's a perfect starter kit...

Hello All, New member here and this is my first post. It's good to be here! I'm posting my own take of the ever classic James Bond 007 Theme. I wanted to make this after being inspired by the brilliant 'No Time To Die' soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. Also including a bit of the 60s flair from the...

In this video, I explore the sonic possibilities of Spitfire Audio's new sample library Solar: Mercury.

For new readers, I have summarized all the answers in this thread to a pro-con-list. Some of these comments relate to ARO specifically, while others concern the Spitfire Player. Please comment if you have more tips or comments you would like me to know about. Thank you! PROS: - assign any CC...

Hello guys & gals, Spitfire Chamber Strings are a must have library from everything I read here. However, I wonder between the regular version and the Pro version. I generally don’t mess too much with mixes and I understand the Pro version provide more material, samples captured from different...

I wrote this composition, Seashell, using the Spitfire Audio Originals. Most people might not take them seriously as they're small libraries, but they're actually really good! Honestly, sometimes that's all you need for certain compositions.

:)

Hello Fellows, This Remake was something else to make.. To be honest, I think I started it in 2019 and abandoned it a first time due to the fact that this track was more complexed than it seemed. I don't know how many times I had to start over and over.... But there was this little voice in...

Hello, I would like to introduce a music - 'Kadan's Theme' - from the MMORPG "Lost Ark". I composed this music with the symphonic series from Spitfire Audio, which I love and have adopted for my musics for years. I had worked as a composer for the Lost Ark team for years and servced as the team...

Hey all! I have a question that I’m hoping you all may be able to help me with. Apologies ahead of time for the text dump. Of all the VSTs I’ve amassed, the one very crucial one that I’m lacking is a full orchestra VST. I’ve been doing a lot of looking around and the two I’ve found appeal to me...

Hello everyone, I've recorded some demos for all the patches of the Olafur Arnalds Composer Toolkit to the best of my abilities, and I'm publishing it in small videos every Tuesday. The first one is about the wonderful Felt Piano Each video is dedicated to each section of the toolkit and in...

Hello everyone! As a professional filmmaker - but also a trained musician - from time to time I love to compose music for my videos. I was in Avila, Spain - one hour from Madrid - to shoot a documentary and I got some aerial footage of the beautiful medieval town. I decided to create a music for...

What are your thoughts on the newest Abbey Road Expansion: Mysterious Reeds? Are you tempted by the sound and/or already invested in the AR ecosystem, or is this just another pre-orchestrated library that accomplishes what you can already accomplish using your existing libraries? Here's a...

Hi folks, I was wondering if anybody has had success at achieving convincing long slow descending string glissandos with Spitfire string libraries, similar to what the strings are doing in the track "The Factory" from 06:02 - 06:19 in HZ's "No Time to Die" soundtrack? A client has requested...

Hello Mates, Here is a little Orchestral Cover/Mockup of Obliviate by Alexandre Desplat in the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I. If you are interested, here is the list of the Libraries that I have used for it: Woodwinds: - Spitfire Woodwinds - Berlin Woodwinds by OT...

Let me say that the community on the VI Control forum is simply magnificent . Over the years, I have enjoyed insightful discussions on the forum. My motive for joining now is to give back, but also because I am frustrated by how some sample instrument companies use every psychological trick in...

Hello! This is my entry for the Score Relief 2022 contest. "I catch you", directed by Colette Brown and starring Adam Starkey. I have tried to musically externalize the "arrogance" that emanates from the character, from the point where he feels invulnerable, irrefutable, superior in all...

Hey friends! In today's video, we'll take a look at Spitfire Audio's newest string library, this time featuring solo strings recorded at Abbey Road. Enjoy!

Hope everyone's doing well! I just posted a video about these two Spitfire libraries from the Hans Zimmer range, just diving into the ways I like to use them. I figured they might be useful to folks over here, especially with all the sales happening right now. I've added chapters so you can...

In this short video I just would like to show how I wrote the music for our trailer using only free libraries. Enjoy :)

I got my first paycheck from my summer job today AND Spitfire has a sale (the stars have aligned for me perhaps?). Well... you know how the story goes. I'm looking for something ambient, especially something that could fill the background. I know the Swarms could fill this purpose but I'm...

I just uploaded my first proper video, and it's also my first ever bit of original music! I'd love to hear what you guys think of the video and music. In the video, I go through my process of making this bit of music, and talk about some of the struggles along the way. Give it a watch if you'd...

Join us for the premiere of our latest Spitfire Audio x SA Recordings sample library release: Landfill Totems, created in collaboration with electronic innovator, Hainbach. Hainbach will also be on Live Chat throughout, so come and say hi!

I’ve recently been updating a ton of instruments from Spitfire in my Komplete Kontrol. Some of these are not strictly NKS but do respond to it. Others are not NKS responsive but are NKI files and should be available on the User side of KK and should load and play. Unfortunately, one of these...

While I know most of you like and use SSS a lot, I noticed that no one really talked about recurrent glitches in this library. In Violins 1 & 2 Performance Legato, there's an irritating audio phase / panning issue when triggering different legato transitions with velocity. If you play two...

Expires tomorrow - what’s the general consensus on how useful this library is? Fairly tempted but I’d like to know if this works for more than just background padding for epic movie trailers. What say you, senior members and the like? Are there more versatile choir libraries or is this *the* one?

Hey , I had a look around but because the Thread on both these products is 100 pages long, I did not find an answer - Basically , I really love these two libraries- I have the Pro of SO and Abbey Road Foundations , but am finding them to be EXTREMELY cpu hungry. (Windows 10) Running off an...

I just really like the visuals of Spitfire Trailers and that one got me in a mood of writing. So I just took it, cut out the talking, left the beautiful pictures of nature in it and composed some music for it (unfortunately not with Albion Neo^^) I hope that is ok with the Spitfire team^^

Here's a demo using only the Eric Whitacre Choir from Spitfire. I scrapped this a couple years ago, then listened again tonight and thought, "I guess it's not that bad." I find the library difficult to use for convincing melodic content, but it's cool as a textural kit.

This is a Logic Pro template for Spitfire Audio's Abbey Road One: Orchestral Foundations sample library. It is similar to the template provided by Spitfire for their BBCSO libraries. It is attached to this post as a .zip file, and is also available on Github. It is distributed under the GPL v3...

I've been using Spitfire BBCOS Pro for one year now and have curiosity to know which EQ moves people find adivisable.

Can you please recommend me some videos or courses (free or paid) that explain in detail how to build an orchestral template, routing etc.? I use Cubase 10.5 and Spitfire Symphonic Orchestra plus some pianos and synths like Omnisphere, Zebra and Diva. Thanks

Hey all, A while ago I made this mockup of Hans Zimmer's main title for The Rock. I love that theme and it was fun to re-create it! Here I show how I did it. I have for a loooong time been thinking about making videos, but I am quite shy to talk on camera! Please let me know if this any good...

I always loved this classic theme and thought it would be fun to re-create it! Here it is: Libraries used: - Spitfire Symphonic Orchestra - East West Hollywood Brass - East West Hollywood Percussion - U-He Zebra - Omnisphere I also made a walkthrough where I go over each section in detail...

Hey all, hope you're all doing well! I was curious as to the style of John Powell which I see most prominently in his Ice Age films so I took time to make a mockup of the track "Buck Returns" to really dive deep into his compositional style and how he uses all the sections of the orchestra. I...

Hi, there! My first post. I decided to compare two libraries since many of you probably were wondering like I did if these two are similar or not at all for writing quartet music. VERSION #1: DISCLAMER: This track compares Sacconi String Quartet and Solo Strings. It was NOT played to the best...

Do you use any reverb for the Spitfire Symphonic Orchestra (SSW SSB SSS) plus Spitfire Percussion? Or do you just keep the reverb of the hall where it was recorded? How do you use it? Thanks!

A short orchestral piece I wrote with the BBCSO Discover Edition by Spitfire Audio.

Hi, I've posted a bit on here before about BBCSO (Core) and I've now decided why I'm not entirely satisfied with it. It's good for what it is, but it doesn't do EPIC, nor does it do really expressive and emotional; it just sits in the middle and can go louder and quieter, but doesn't do...

Spitfire Audio has released some templates for the BBC Orchestra. Do you think they can also work for the Spitfire Symphonic Orchestra (+ Spitfire Percussion) ? Thanks in advance for the advice! I also ask @Spitfire Team @SpitfireSupport @christianhenson

Can you recommend me which Soundtoys plugins go well with Spitfire Audio sounds? (and which sounds; for film scoring purposes). Thank you! @Spitfire Team @SpitfireSupport

Hi! I've had some time on my hands in the past couple of days and worked on this new piece. I really enjoyed using the strings in the other 2 projects and I wanted to see how they hold on their own. Well almost on their own. I used a bit of percussion as well to add some orchestral colour...

Hello all, As much as I really love the chat and fun on other (much longer!) threads, perhaps it would help if we could have a thread only for people to post demos / mp3 / Soundcloud links and other audio files? If we could even get to 10 or 20 demos, that woud be really great. They can be...
