"Core" offering only ONE mic? Is ridiculous. Close and Tree should be available. ONE... is useless and you know it. And you still haven't UPDATED the player to allow for individual patch loading? It's a bloated affair that bogs down the system if you are loading multiple tracks... which is what everyone does. HINT: Try using Orchestral Tools SINE player to understand efficiency.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I’m sure the short demo hasn’t entirely shown what the ARO strings are capable of, but in any case, legato isn’t everything, and string libraries can have other strengths and weaknesses: For example, the normal legato in VSL’s Duality Strings (all of which I own and love) isn’t better than what Spitfire is offering here - it’s actually the least convincing part of the library for me. The legato in Synchron Strings Pro, on the other hand, is great but that library has other weaknesses, and for example doesn’t hold a candle to Duality Strings’ agile legato. On another note, the ARO Basses we heard here are insanely good - much better in tune than the any others I have right now. Fact is, most professionals I know own many different libraries to use their strengths based on what they need, as options in a palette. I don’t own a set of symphonic strings that offer as many articulation details as Paul demonstrated here DIRECTLY from the keyboard without programming, so I’ll be picking these up. If they don’t add anything to your workflow, I get that.

@kwameryan 5 күн бұрын
@@TalmoTheSell Agreed. I just don't think your description is accurate. At best, it's a drastic oversimplification since there are lots of different legato types, only some of which Paul demonstrated. The only libraries I know of that have entirely convincing legato are some of the PS libraries (like Vista or Pacific) and CSS, and those libraries all have potentially deal-breaking legato limitations baked in. Vista only has one vibrato setting that is too strong for many types of music. Pacific has more portamento than I can use in all but a few situations. CSS is lovely, but really hard to play and to programme because of the delay. I programmed 90 minutes of symphonic cues with it last year and while the results were good, it was incredibly time consuming and I honestly nearly killed myself with all the midi nudging. VSL is incredibly disciplined and deep for programming, less so for playing. It looks like ARO is focused on playable flexibility with a lot changing under the hood as you play. That has a real workflow value to me in itself, especially since it sounds great in most cases. If I need to layer in a few bars of Pacific or Vista for ultimate legato in an exposed sweeping melody, I can do that quickly with a specialist library and still benefit from the Spitfire programming saving me weeks of messing around in the midi editor. I often just don't have the time. I'm happy to have options since I know there is no one Holy Grail library that covers everything equally well. It just doesn't exist yet.

@@paulm5857These arguments are far too simple. Basically, it's about the bottom line. It plays a role for the creator which equipment he uses (cost and quality), but you always have to compare it to other things, i.e. other string libraries. I don't want to say anything more than that the prices can't just be defined because the best musicians and the best instruments were used. What counts is the experience, the benefit you can derive from it... the workflow. I'm always thinking about whether I should give OT a chance with the Walfisch Strings, I've read through a lot of opinions, you should definitely always look around first.

I'm sorry to say, it just doesn't sound that good in comparison with other options that we have (including SF!). Of course, the AR room is there and we can definitely hear the space, but to me the realism of the transitions between notes is much more important. Some people will say it sounds synthy, but I don't dislike the tone. Probably it can be tamed with some mic mixing. Sadly, the problem is not there.
