Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The sounds are incredible! The legatos and spiccatos are awesome. The only downsides I noticed were 1) opening projects with 8-10 tracks of this took a hot minute, and then when the project was open it would take a few more minutes for all the tracks to work at the same time. It's worth the wait for me. 2) The dynamic levels on some of the tracks, especially the tremolos, weren't very smooth, but I guess I could work it out with some extra care on the expression. Other than that, the sounds are awesome and versatile! Thank you guys! God bless you!

Pristine sound, great playability, lots of options with articulations and great legatos, and whilst I have the core version without the plethora of extra mic positions, there is still a great deal of flexibility with the sound. Already made it's way into my essential instruments.

Beautiful sounds. This lib let you create some nice pieces. But the vibrato you can not disable is not the best thing. Very nice product, though.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The sound is just Amazing. It hast two mic options available, the first one is for composing and get ideas ( less RAM usage, sounds "fine" ), the second one is for recording, wow what a sound!!!!!!!!!!! ( also it uses more RAM )

I usually check what other professionals think about the products released by Spitfire. I watched many reviews on Youtube and decided to purchase the product. I am satisfied with the library.

Would not use this product with Finale

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Amazing sound quality, even with the non-pro version. It could definitely use a future expansion with a few more "contemporary" techniques to complement the already gorgeous palette of sounds.

came across this product through you tube reviews, and was looking for solo strings, especially viola and double bass. made a decision on the core library with intension of a later date to purchase the pro library. so within the first week, outstanding product, the quality of the instruments are amazing, there are times that I feel like the instruments are right near me, I can here everything, the sound of wood and bow, everything stands out, exceptional library and very impressed with the purchase, looking forward to the upgrade to pro in a month or two. great work spitfire.

Absolutely amazing sounding library. Incredible quality. This definitely will help me to become a better composer which is probably the best compliment I could give any product. Thank you to Spitfire Audio. I love you guys!

The level of detail in the Core pack alone is amazing! All I could ask for in a chamber string library, and its connection to one of the greatest recording studios, Abbey Road, is just a cherry on top! The ensemble patches allow for an intuitive and streamlined creative experience, not having to worry about voicings or which instrument is playing which note. No! You can simply play away and let your creativity flow. On top of that, the performance and Live patches for solo instruments allot a great amount of performance detail through integrated legato, staccato, and slurs galore! If you're looking for a chamber string library, specifically aiming for something that gives you the control over soloists, then look no further than this masterful leap into sample libraries from Spitfire Audio!

Love the sounds. My issue is , since it no longer runs in kontakt it appears that I am unable to get multiple outs with one instance of the player. Any way around this?

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Amazing sound! Sometimes the bowchange on long notes not helpful, but that’s not really a problem.
