If there was a single line of products that could be summed up the foundation of Spitfire’s approach to sampling it would be Mural Symphonic Strings. Recorded at the same studio that has been played host to billions of dollars worth of blockbuster scores, with the same players playing the same instruments. Deep sampled with an affluence. Unlike any other sample library. As a project of nearly 4 years we released it as a series of modular volumes. Power users out there appreciated the in-depth microphones and mixes, everyday users are pleased to be able to consume Mural in smaller more affordable iterations (especially with our Mural Ensembles degustation volume!).
For reasons we’ll give in a minute, we’ve decided to take Mural 1, 2, 3, Ensembles & Evolutions off our shelves in their current form. To celebrate their award winning success and to give all of them the opportunity to enjoy the peace of mind. first and last time.
After almost 4 years of hard graft we are proud of what we consider to be the definitive selection of Symphonic Strings Samples. Having this broad selection of tools. We also found that without the unifying of the main body of work, we were unable to take advantage of the articulation between the different volumes for greater functionality and ease of use. We also feel if you want to go blockbuster you have to go bold, if you want cinematic. So we have decided to take every articulation, dynamic layer, round robin, legato interval and rationalize it into the ultimate encyclopaedic compendium of Symphonic strings. Spitfire Symphonic Strings is the ‘Daddy’.
We will initially release Spitfire Symphonic Strings as a ‘core’ product with everyone’s favorite and most diverse microphone positions C (lose), T (ree), A (mbient). Followed soon after by two expansion packs, # 1 Additional Mics & Mixes and # 2 ‘Evolutions’.
What is NOT in Spitfire Symphonic Strings that is in Mural?
Frankly the tons of mic positions and stereo mixes. We’ve listened to many of you and it’s just what you want. So Spitfire Symphonic Strings contains three different sounding mics (Close, Tree, Ambient) which allow Symphonic Strings to be used on a variety of uses from expansive tight modern action music to sweeping romanticism.
More importantly, the structural file complications of Mural are no longer in Spitfire Symphonic Strings, so maintaining and upgrading it will become a thing of pleasure not of pain!
