This is magnificent.

This is an excellent presentation. The Schimmel representative explained his pianos wonderfully and I learned a lot. This is a far better video than those of the Bosendorfer factory, where one gets the impression that more is hidden than shown. Steinway’s tour is quite good but Schimmel’s remains the best. I have played a Schimmel, by the way, and that piano had a wonderful richness.

Голос слышно.Громкость музыки очень маленькая,ничего не слышно

I’m sold it anyway 🙏

Good

Where is John Williams?

I can't help feeling the much cheaper Kontakt SSO has more usefull performance legato patches. Fast(er) runs are a joy to play in SSO, not sure about ARO. The ARO legato's sound more MIDIish to me compared to say SSO. Perhaps Spitfire player limitations compared to Kontakts advanced scripting?

Those first two demos sound like a 1990s Korg string patch. Not remotely impressive.

How is this more sxpensive than chamber strings,you people are strange

The engineer who sampled the Spitfire Sable/chamber strings could serve as a great inspiration for their future projects

This reminds me how beautifully sampled were the strings in Roland XP/JV series expansion cards :-)

I'm angry! Buyed it. Never had more work with legatos. Spent day and night now trimming and tweaking! Liked the concept, handle it as intended (velocities etc.), but get level bumps and harsh note connections all over the place. Your selling point are the legatos! So fix that as soon as possible, please.

Long time SF fan here - great marketing/branding, but unfortunately I have to agree with others and their comments on the legato patches - they just don't sound realistic to my ears at all. The shorts sound great however, and if they were available as a separate module (without the bloated legatos price point), I'm sure there'd be more orders coming through. Still, it's disappointing to not have realistic sounding legatos as part of the package. Most of the composers I know use a handful of different libraries to get the job done though, and so the shorts would be a welcome addition for many I'm sure.

Does anyone know how to do a portamento with the strings in FL Studio

I really want(ed) to buy this book, but the price is out of my reach. I suspect that only those professional composers who are making a good living from the work, could afford it. The problem is...they don't need it! Paul, have you considered that it might be possible to sell more books at a lower price than a few books at a high price?

it reminds me MIR 3D from Vienna.

Wow! That score! Lit 🔥

Zzzzzzz

Check your weight Paul. It’s going out of control.

Thank you Spitfire Audio. I hope you guys continue to record more at Abbey Road & keep adding articulations to these libraries.

Once this price point would have been perfect for the quality, I remember spending 1000USD on hollywood strings, but now we all struggle to make 50p a week after the whole music devaluation/audio network/short attention span/clownworld era that we now live in. I'd write you something that would break your heart with this package, but nobody wants to pay. I was a pro composer for 20 years and everything went dry over a period of years. I'd still love it, but can't justify a vanity project that isn't heard.

I love Spitfire and LABS but “file not found” on some library’s and no way to fix it.

Great! What midi controller is that for expression and dynamics, vibrato? Thanks!🙏🏻

That was the most idiotic "Classical" string quartet I've ever heard

Well looks that i am donr with spitfire No love and care for existing products , no updates that matters, overpriced stuff and more mediacore quallity instead of innovation

Have many spitfire libs Some of them are great, some okay and lately many not good The whole overpriced ar orchestra series sounds far from premium Almost synthy...really dont know wjat went wronh but try out performance samples pacific solo strings, vista 2 cello for example....far better intro prices and whole othet level

Divisi A and B sections?

For those being unhappy about the price... If a library is twice the price, in my opinion at least, one is allowed to expect a very noticible difference for their personal sound or workflow. If it's not there, or you personally can't hear it, look for other libraries or stick to your current ones. If you CAN hear a massive difference and the library is an absolute game changer for you, then a higher price would honestly not be stopping you or make you unhappy. So... sad about the price after hearing the demos and watching the walkthrough? Thank Spitfire for slapping some sense into YOU, so YOU are not wasting your money on yet another string library that FOR YOU doesn't really bring anything new to the table. If you can't justify the price, trust your gut! You do not need this library! It's really that simple.

My first record album, purchased in 1975, was The Fantasy Film World of bernard herrmann, after having heard him on TV as a child in The twilight Zone, Lost In Space, The day the earth Stood Still, etc etc.....Fantastic interview, and great impersonation of Benny.

Why does this demo seem more panned to the right? Is this to be expected as default or is it something in the video production? your voice is perfectly centre as a reference.

I’m still using the strings from BBC. They sound awesome (apart from violins 2 spiccatos). I don’t the price for these makes it worth it to upgrade.

why is mine very quiet? I turned the sound to max, and still quiet... :(

This is great!! is it out already?

This sounds killer! well done Paul and all , The Cello and Violin 1 are the most playable libraries out there, and by a long way!

Thought Paul was in his PJs at first.

I wish you would sort out your Eric Whitacre Evo plugin, that would make us all excited. A lot of money spent on a broken libray. Get your priorities right guys , come on.

Sublime !!!❤

Same old same o. Synthy, overpriced 3x, shortly to be abandoned. Yeah you can make them sound nice with a ton of work. Yuck!

For the price my main gripe is the lack of articulations and articulation combos. There's also no basic extended techniques using sul pont, no actual sul tasto (flautando is not exactly the same), no con sordino. I do miss some of the previous Spiftire libraries (looking at you, Chamber Strings) which to be honest had a comparative embarassment of riches in terms of articulations to choose from (down to even disco falls!). I know that Spitfire prides themselves on the spaces and equipment they record in, and tout the many gigabytes of samples they are offering, but I feel like the future development of such libraries (at this price range) should also be forward-thinking with sample modeling techniques, allowing users to do even more advanced articulation combos, more convincing runs, and more advanced gliss/port and special effects. I have no comparison of anyone doing this really well, SM and SWAM are still a bit synthetic and hard to use. But with Spitfire's money and resources, they could surely make a splash if they wanted to innovate... to me this release is nothing innovative from what Spitfire would release more than a decade ago, apart from having more detailed layers, file sizes, and a slick UI. I'm sure it sounds nice, and I wouldn't hate on anyone wishing to invest in it. But effectively it's the same tech still. Having owned dozens of sample-based string libraries over the years, it's becoming harder to feel excited with a re-packaging of the same thing over and over. Just my two cents!

No discounts for pre-existing Abbey Road Orch violins/celllos users??? Come on spitfire you’re taking the piss now.

It's really over priced, and when my experience tells me Spitfire forgets its products in a short time and not updating them (like Hans Zimmer Strings which is still missing those basic Solo/Mute buttons in the mixer) so I'm not interested to buy more from you guys. Sorry. I've missed good old days when Spitfire was innovative.

Orchestral Tools Berlin Style typografi and colors.

£885 for one mic position, what is wrong with you guys?

For me Best library❤

So strings for $1200...when the rest of the orchestra is done, are we talking about a $3000-4000 library?

How long will the introductory price be?

Spitfire, my only issue with "Abbey Road Orchestra Symphonic Strings" is that it lacks the articulations that Spitfire Symphonic, Chamber, and Studio strings have. Please consider adding those additional techniques, or at least in a new library called "Abbey Road Orchestra Symphonic Strings: EXPANDED".

I feel like SF forgot what an actual legato sounds like. Each new string library sounds more synthy than the last, and at a time where the competition is better than ever. I'm failing to see what I'm spending so much money on here that isn't available in higher realism from Performance Samples or VSL. The "runs" section in particular is awkward to even listen to - Sounds nothing like an actual string instrument. Edit - The legato in particular does not sound like it has improved from SSO or BBC, and those might actually sound better in the example phrases used here.
