"A miniature version of Tundra", that's what the new strings library from Spitfire can be described as. More or less. Cinematic Frozen Strings, a release in Spitfire's "Orig!nals" series, features ultra-delicate textures and articulations performed by 8 players and was recorded with three microphone perspectives (super close, close and tree) at Air Lyndhurst.

Spitfire's spartan and inflexible player software turns this library into less than what it could have been, but it's still good value for money. (Unless your toolbox is already bulging with flautandos and sul tastos of course, which it might well be if you've been buying a lot of Spitfire lately.) Price is £29/$29/€29

Hallelujah, 3 mic positions! Looks and sounds good to me, a well conceived product I'd say for 29 anythings. And as that's the regular price, so I can happily leave it until I feel I have a genuine need for it.

If I hear the phrase "the edge of silence" one more time though, I'm gonna scream very much not at the edge of silence.

Sounds really nice.

Just for once, though-I'd love an intro such as "I'm mildly interested to announce..."

I’d pay £29 to hear that.

Cinematic frozen strings, cinnamon frozen yogurt ... it's to early in the year for that!
