Thoughts
Spitfire Audio’s Chamber Strings has long been considered a go-to among Spitfire Audio’s stable of string libraries. Falling in that perfectly defined space between solo and symphonic strings, chamber strings bring a more defined sound than symphonic strings while retaining a fuller sound than solo strings alone. Spitfire Audio’s Chamber Strings Essentials reflects this beautifully. With the bread-and-butter articulations that most composers are likely to use 90% of the time and with only 2 mic positions – enough to add both space and definition – Chamber Strings Essentials is a great way to get a great string library with that “Spitfire sound” at a fraction of the normal price. While it’s nice to have multiple mic positions and tons of articulations, Chamber Strings Essentials proves that all the bells and whistles aren’t necessary to build a solid string library with a beautiful sound and enough flexibility for most use cases.
Facts
Chamber Strings Essentials is compatible with the free Kontakt Player 5.6.8 or above. It downloads at ~28GB and includes the essential techniques composers will likely use 90-95% of the time. The library also includes only the Close and Tree mic signals as opposed to the 3 mic positions found in the Core library and the 7 mic positions found in the Professional edition.
