小可以更美。16 位最出色的弦乐演奏家,在伦敦 Air Studios 的大厅中通过最出色的信号路径演奏最出色的乐器。这是一部关于弦乐发音和技巧的超级深度采样百科全书。喷火团队迄今为止最喜爱的弦乐产品。

很多人一听到 “室内乐 ”这个词,就会联想到白色假发和大键琴。但在现代语言中,它只是指比交响乐团规模小的乐队。因此,从四重奏到 40 多名演奏者都可以称之为室内乐团。就弦乐而言,它通常指由 5 个部分(第一小提琴、第二小提琴、中提琴、大提琴和低音提琴)组成的中等规模的合奏。

我们的目标是创建一个权威的室内弦乐项目,并在 Air Studios 录音棚录制,为您呈现我们都渴望的好莱坞宽银幕音效,以及大型弦乐采样库难以呈现的细节和衔接能力。

16 位明星演奏家、4 把第一小提琴、3 把第二小提琴、3 把中提琴、3 把大提琴和 3 把低音提琴的超深度采样,以及超过 244 种衔接,包括 38 种短音、53 种长音、19 种特效和 45 种由 Andrew Blaney 编程的非凡连音补丁。录制时使用了多个循环和动态层,并使用了 3 个重要的多功能麦克风位置。除了每个单独的部分外,我们还以 “合奏 ”的形式提供了全面的衔接和技巧选择,专为草图和 “开箱即用 ”的作曲而设计。

该库以 Kontakt Player 库的形式呈现,因此无需购买即可运行该库。我们还感到自豪的是,这是我们首个可与 NI 硬件一起使用的 NKS 版本。它采用了全新的 “直观 ”图形用户界面,并内置了用户手册。

Spitfire 是一个室内弦乐项目。我们的许多朋友,包括 A 级作曲家,都抱怨采样弦乐笨重、定义不清、过于宏大。在他们的大部分作品中,从敏感而令人心痛的优美静谧段落到炽热的抒情,都不需要庞大的数量,而是需要对细节的关注。当演奏大量音符时,交响乐的音域往往会扩大三倍或四倍。

因此,我们开始了录制室内弦乐音域的艰巨任务,并将其作为私人项目的一部分与我们最亲近的人分享。

然而,许多人指出,这听起来还是 “有点大”。于是,我们带着一个问题回到了会议室的挑战中: 我们能把音量调小到什么程度,才能让它听起来不再像一个乐段?答案是 4,3,3,3,3,3。在最好的录音地点之一,由一群非凡的演奏家组成的独一无二的亲密组合。这个项目最初是分卷进行的,现在已经耗费了我们四年的时间。现在,我们以更合理、更方便使用的形式呈现喷火室内弦乐。如前所述,它是喷火团队绝对喜爱的弦乐系列,因其优美、多变以及完全独特的音质而备受推崇。

对于我们来说,如果您是一位希望在众多作曲家中脱颖而出的作曲家,我们的室内弦乐值得您的关注。

Small can be more beautiful. 16 of the finest string players, playing the finest instruments via the finest signal path in The Hall at Air Studios, London. A super deep-sampled encyclopaedia of string articulations and techniques. The Spitfire team’s favourite string product to-date.

When many of us hear the word “chamber” we think of white wigs and harpsichords. In modern vernacular however it simply describes a band that is smaller than a symphony orchestra. So anything from a quartet to 40 odd players. Where strings are concerned it generally means a medium sized ensemble consisting of 5 sections (1st violins, 2nd violins, violas, cellos and basses).

Our desire was to create the definitive chamber strings project, recorded at Air Studios, that gives you the widescreen Hollywood sound we all desire, with a detail and ability to articulate that is harder with larger sized string sample libraries.

16 star players, 4 1st Violins, 3 2nds, 3 Violas, 3 Cellos & 3 Basses super deep sampled with over 244 articulations, including 38 shorts, 53 longs, 19 FX, and 45 extraordinary legato patches programmed by Andrew Blaney. Recorded with multiple round robins, dynamic layers and presented with 3 essential and versatile microphone positions. In addition to each individual section we also have a comprehensive selection of articulations and techniques presented in an ‘ensemble’ format designed for sketching and composing with ‘out of the box’ satisfaction.

Presented as a Kontakt Player library so no further purchases are necessary to run the library. We’re also proud that it is our first NKS-ready release for use with NI hardware. It features a new ‘intuitive’ GUI with an inbuilt user manual.

Spitfire was built on a chamber strings project. Many of our friends, including A-list composers, complained that sampled strings were unwieldy, ill-defined and too epic. That for much of their output, sensitive and achingly beautiful quiet passages through to searing lyricism didn’t require huge numbers but attention to detail. That symphonic ranges often tripled and quadrupled in size when playing lots of notes.

So we set about the difficult task of recording a chamber strings range which we shared as part of a private project with our nearest and dearest, and were delighted when it was received with huge amounts of optimism and encouragement.

Many, however, noted how it still sounded ‘kind of big’. So we returned to the chamber challenge with a question: How small can we go before it no longer sounds like a section? The answer was 4,3,3,3,3. A uniquely intimate group of extraordinary players in one of the best recording locations. Originally available in volumes, this project has now taken 4 years of our life. We now present Spitfire Chamber Strings in a rationalised, and more instantly useable form. As mentioned before it is the Spitfire team’s absolute favourite string range, admired for its beauty, its versatility but also its totally unique sonic character.

For us, if you’re a composer looking to stand out from the herd, our Chamber Strings are worthy of your attention.
