As always, they focus on specific things incredibly well.”

With its latest release ABBEY ROAD ONE: VIBRANT REEDS, Spitfire Audio beautifully captures the expressive performances of two oboes and two clarinets as a pure, pristine sound orchestrated in traditional octave spacing, with an additional pairing of two oboes with English horn. for a truly evocative sound heard in Hollywood film scores such as American composer, conductor, pianist and trombonist John Williams’ AND the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), American composer and conductor Jerry Goldsmith’s Total Recall (1990), and throughout the Harry Potter film series (2001-2011). As a commonly heard orchestral blend of woodwinds, ABBEY ROAD ONE: VIBRANT REEDS includes an array of techniques including legato, long, staccatos, as well as major and minor bites, to allow focus on writing themes and songs. expressive melodies while quickly creating an instantly recognizable high-quality cinematic sound.

That said, realism abounds as any ABBEY ROAD ONE: VIBRANT REEDS user effectively enters the room that most composers can only dream of – Studio One at Abbey Road Studios. Of course, Studio One is considered to be one of the best acoustic spaces in the world, its history having an indelible link to the scores recorded there, incorporating emotion, ambiance and magic into many of the most famous films. famous never made. Musical Matches Made in Heaven, classics such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Avengers: Endgame have all been recorded in Studio One. With its rich tone and famous reverb, Studio One’s sound is big-screen and epic – truly the iconic sound of cinema.

continues Paul Thomson: “The first [LEGATO (8ve)] legato gives you a relatively solid sound – quite a pure and clean sound, but you still have that fantastic dynamic range with that kind of extra pizzazz and tang when adding the English horn to the mix. It’s an incredibly familiar sound – something you find very often in Hollywood movie scores, so it’s something very useful – the second most used orchestral mix in woodwinds, after traditional flutes with a piccolo one octave up. Looking at the individual patches in this library we have the long ones [LONG (8ve)] which are based only on oboes and clarinets, which you can use for that kind of soft, smooth and very pure sound, but it can also become quite solid and punchy enough, and if we look at the corresponding long, that we ‘J called VIBRANT LONG [(8ve)], which is the version with the English horn in the mix, you hear that extra color come in – a fabulous, rich sound. We also have some fantastic staccatos [STACCATO (8VE)] built with the same sets. In addition to these, and corresponding to the bites that we have in the previous library, we have these fabulous bites with a miner [MORDENT MIN 2ND (8ve)] and 2nd major [MORDENT MAJ 2ND (8ve)] and a minor [MORDENT MIN 3RD (8ve)] and 3rd major [MORDENT MAJ 3RD (8ve)]- the bite being also known as a ‘shake’ which is, again, very familiar and really great to use as a sort of standalone thing, or you can use it as part of a sentence . “

But just as appealing is the fact that ABBEY ROAD ONE: VIBRANT REEDS – and, indeed, all of its siblings from the ABBEY ROAD ONE: FILM SCORING SELECTIONS series – features the same top-tier musicians who perform on films at global success at the fingertips of anyone, all recorded by multi-GRAMMY® Award engineer Simon Rhodes (Avatar, Harry Potter, Hugo) and featuring the coveted collection of microphones and outboard gear from Abbey Road Studios.
