Rutter - O Waly Waly, Spitfire Solo Strings and Chamber Strings
Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2018 10:48 pm
Spitfire has just released their new solo string library, which is designed to complement their chamber and symphonic strings packages, all recorded in Air Studios London. There are three violins (virtuoso, 1st chair, and progressive) along with solo strings for viola, cello and bass.
I've re-recorded this piece using the chamber strings with the solos added for first chairs and the virtuoso violin for the solo. The end result with the added solos represents an ensemble of 5-5-5-5-4. I think the detail in this library is exceptional, especially with variations for vibrato and dynamics added to allow the various player's lines to blend or stand out as desired.
This piece was originally transcribed in Notion, where a ruleset was used to change techniques and velocity, and then exported to Studio One 4. The various lines were then duplicated and adjusted for phrasing and the subtle variations between different players in each section, and the divisi sections were edited and adjusted so that they didn't double-up and clog the mix. All told, there are 18 tracks in the Studio One project.
Thanks for listening, and as always, feedback is appreciated!
