Product details

Brand: Spitfire Audio

A celebration of un-notated traditions passed down through generations, and captured through the magic of sampling, Albion Solstice explores the visionary artistry from modern, folk, and heritage instruments. Passionately curated, this library transcends genre to give you everything you need to create modern cinematic scores. The breadth of instrumentation and alternative techniques that forms the nucleus of this composing toolkit is staggering. Inspired by our rich and varied musical heritage, Solstice is a wellspring of opportunities featuring strings, brass, and woodwind accompanied by unique instruments from nyckelharpa, Celtic fiddles, hurdy-gurdy, and modern synthesizers, percussion performances, and much more. This is not a library to create folk music with, but simply everything you need to create cinematic scores for today, inspired by the past.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Amazing library and very inspiring for a beginner hobbyist like myself. I love the 'cinematic folk noir' sound. This has brought so much joy to my life and I can't wait for future Spitfire releases. I'll be first in line. Thank you spitfire team :) !!

What can I say that has not already been said. Top tier products. I love this library for its basic simplicity, yet fullness of tone and character. I have only had it a week or so and already I am drawing so much inspiration from it. Many thanks Spitfire.

Vast range of sounds and articulations, quite unique.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

for a long time I wanted to buy a first significant library of Spitfire. Labs first, some originals. and finally this one (with Aperture stack - insane sound) and i must say that nothing, never before, has given me this incredible satisfaction, under my fingertips. (except, of course, my stuff made with MAX MSP) :) the most important thing is that they are sounds made by musicians, for musicians. Precisely unprecise and imperfect. real as no other library had seemed to me before. only flaw you can no longer use all the other libraries you have purchased before.

This is has been my best Holiday purchase in a long time. Awesome! this sounds outstandingly good. Its my first Spitfire library and the experience has been nothing short of extraordinary. I love the way the instruments play. One of the few sample libraries i enjoy playing from my keyboard! Great work guys. Looking forward to adding more of your stuff.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

There is such nice idea, great, great vocals! I have a little problem with motors, the rhythm could be more interesting and have more variation. Also I hate this GUI in kontakt. I also bought a touch monitor (with lower resolution, main have 3800pix, smaller 1920) to see the Kontakt better, but this GUI is especially small, unreadable, difficult access to the mix, I'm not a fan of this feature.

Stunning sounds!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I bought it because I was gonna create a music piece with it, but ended up using only one instrument. But that is not bad, it just shows that priorities can change :) The product itself contains great recordings to say the least

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I am scoring a horror film currently and it's getting heavy use along with the other Albion's, Olafur, LCO and EVO libraries. Despite many of them being recorded in vastly different spaces they can all still be blended quite well. The strings and "drone grid" are the standouts but everything else is quite beautiful as well, particularly the vocal samples. It's definitely a library that gets you inspired to find projects in which to use it.

New and different sounds that add to the pallette.
