SPITFIRE - British Drama Toolkit Promo Price ENDING in 24 Hours!

I intuited this one should be a pass, and I'm glad from what's posted here I did. No offense to Spitfire, but this might have made a great donation-ware imo (understand, I happen to love very much a few of SF's libraries).

Is this mostly because you have content which covers this capability ? OR because of specific deficiencies you are noting from posts and videos ?
I ask as respectful, but 'limited', SF User __ (3) Albions, Orchestral Swarm, eDNA 01, Glass & Steel, LABS ….

I can't hear anything that inspires me about it. On the other hand, BHOT, EVOs 2 and 4, Albion Legacy, Iceni, Uist...all inspired me to write music simply upon hearing the demos. I get nothing from this new offering.

But hey, more power to anyone that does get inspired for their music from this library, that means more people making great music! \m/

Thank-you for this perspective. Key interest for me is emphasis on '2-hand playing-in' which mitigates MIDI shortcomings.
BH_CT is high on add list. :thumbsup:
 
I don't own any of the Spitfire EVOs. For me BDT is great for just playing, experimenting or producing quick mock-ups/ideas with (which can then be refined further where required). I'll also use it to add some emotional background colour/movement in my tracks (where appropriate).

Good to read!
Have followed your Solo Strings posts which have been quite instructive. :thumbsup:
BDT seems comfortable going forward, as expectations vs reality are now aligned nicely.
THX !
 
Hello @Spitfire Team can I ask about the demos posted on the product page? They sound great but I wonder if they were all made using only BDT? I'm not talking about any post processing or inserts here (I've no doubt there's a bit of secret sauce going on in the mix) just the instruments used. Thanks in advance.

I don't know about the others, but Christian Henson did a whole video explaining how his piece was done, and he used Tundra in addition to BDT.
 
I'm most interested in the woodwind combinations (bass clarinets!). I've got the Sonokinetics woodwinds, but that's a different sound (and no bass clarinets). Am I letting expectations get away from me here or does this seem worth the price just for those sections if one had a shortage of woodwind support?

Depends on what you mean by support. It's certainly not going to give you a full-featured bass clarinet like you find in, say, the Chris Hein Winds package. But if you just want to layer in a some notes/textures that convey a bass clarinet sound...

TBH, I'm not sure it's worth the price to be used other than intended. I bought BDT and really like it, but I can't say that there is one particular patch or articulation that makes me think: "It's worth it for this one alone."
