Product details

Soft String Textures is the ultimate embodiment of the original Soft String Spurs concept. Featuring three of Dan's all-time favourite string players, this collaboration captures bespoke performances and articulations that have been workshopped to deliver stunning realism and emotive depth to your music. Formed of solo violin, viola and cello, Soft String Textures leans heavily on the musicality of three sublime players - Ellie Consta, Georgie Davis and Meera Raja. Recorded in Studio B at Spitfire Audio HQ, this library is intimate and immediate. Captured at 96kHz by an 8-mic array, each player was recorded individually for fine control. Alongside 5 core articulations, Soft String Textures also features 10 warps to add a hybrid element to your scores.

Thats another interesting one. The strings are intimate and natural. I think it must be Dan Keens style, because other pluigins I own from him, are of same quality. Don/'t regrette the money I spent on this.

Wish someone would reach back to me, I’m having issues finding the plug in within my DAWs.. looks like it downloaded to the correct installation path. First time spitfire buyer.. would appreciate the respect to reach out to your customers.

Quailty. Emotional. Human. Would like more articulations though.

Such a beautiful library. The strings have amazing texture for a nice foundation to many of the tracks I compose, but can also stand on their own. Well done Spitfire!

Awesome and Versatile. I have other string libraries that provide quick staccato, or a sweeping lush legato. But this library filled the gap I needed filled with a more typical string sound that doesn’t have too short or too long of an attack. I do wish the library had a bit more variety with the type of bowing. Something with a crisper attack would be so great, but I guess this is labeled “Soft” String textures. The Waves instruments provided with this library are also really useful and powerful. I recommend you watch Dan Keen demonstrate the library before you purchase so you can see all that it can do.

Beautifully recorded, managing to be both warm and bright. I bought it mainly for the swarming violins to put on the high end of pieces. Sampled violins often sound harsh in a mix but these slot in really naturally.

Wonderful string sounds that perfectly expand my collection

Wow... just wow. Hold down one single key and I fall over in amazement. So outstanding.

Awesome! Best string library out. And perfect price.

Beautiful sounds, with a limited scope as the library title suggests. I haven't yet fully explored their application in a real world music production setting.

Unbelievably inspiring. I’m not a composer but a vocalist and writer for labels - my toplines (that need a string accompaniment ) have found a staple string VST that bring the whole background to life. Absolutely blown away with the detail and warmth this has brought my tracks!

What more can be said about this beautiful fragile library? Nothing. But, I love it!

It's an inspiration machine! Super useful to sketch new ideas and I'm loving using it beside other libraries to give some movement to the overall sound

I'm always on the lookout for the perfect strings. I love this bookcase because it seems to have life and movement. Thank you very much Dan Ken. You deserve many opportunities to continue developing your work with the quality and professionalism that characterizes you. Congratulations.
