What's new

What did you buy from Spitfire's Wishlist?

I just stuck to my initial plan once the discounts had arrived (you guys are such amateurs ;) ): Alternative Solo Strings & Spitfire Solo Strings

Now let's see if I can also stick to my renewed old new year's resolution of only doing updates and no-brainers. This year it was shot to pieces early on in the year when Spitfire released OACE. And since I have heard/seen rumours about something called Ambient Guitar (Enigma III?)...:cautious:

You could layer OACE and Tundra in Kontakt and have you cat walk across the keyboard and it would sound good.

Damn! Forgot to put the CAT on my wishlist.

Don't want to start the 32,000th Spitfire thread, so picked this one at random - my download in stuck in the Spitfire Audio app. About 80% through, its just endlessly cycling through the same small bit. Paused, closed, restarted app but its still stuck. Is this a known thing? Any tips?

I had something similar (never had any problems with the app until now; also the download speed was quite low). One of the things I did was restarting my computer. Maybe ending the app in the processes tab of the task manager will be enough. Of course, this "advice" is completely useless if you are on a Mac.

Probably a support call?
I would try, moving existing files to another folder. Start the download again, it should reset and start again. Stop. Delete that small download, move data back and restart. Hopefully should pickup from where it last was. Maybe delete last file as it may have been corrupted.
Good luck!
 
Studio Strings Professional and the new Choir.
Kinda surprised with the Studio Strings Professional. Didn’t think I needed yet another string library (especially one that doesn’t seem to have an ensemble patch), but I rolled my own multi and am very happy. You can be intimate or epic and the legatos seem snappier than my other libs.
Still downloading the choir.

Cory shared a bunch of useful patches and multis for Studio Strings

 
Thanks all for app advices. I've tried restarting, deleting the last 8gb or so to be downloaded and nothing works so far, always hangs somewhere around 31gb (this is Spitfire Solo Strings). Now got rid of the lot and starting from scratch. No manual links any more, right? If this attempt doesn't work, its clearly support ticket time - figure it might be a few days as its a weekend / bank holiday etc.

Bloody downloaders.

Lol, this video actually sold StudioStringsCore for me and i really love it. The only thing i really miss are the close mics since i think they will even work much better with my own reverbs.
So means now i think to upgrade to the pro version (i couldn´t download right now because i have not much space left) since i saw you also can add the 40% to the upgrade (since i put both version into the wishlist) which at the end give me the same price i had payed for going straight to the pro version. And then i have 2 versions at hand where one is a great light and space friendly version.
I so wish some developers would start a kind of choose your mics and articulation and pay just for it thing.
Oh and then there is still the EWC waiting. I thought to go with the 8dio Requiem instead but that is a totally other thing. And while i heard often here the opposite i actually like the Spitfire GUI outside of Kontakt much much much more. Their Kontakt GUI is so small and tiny that it´s no joy to use really on my notebook.

Still downloadin Studio Strings Pro.

But i think the video is inaccurate with the difference between the Standard and Pro versions.

The Pro version adds divisi as well as mic positions.

From playing with Studio Brass Pro ($299), regardless of Strings divisi (which is great), the extra mic positions are well worth the Strings Pro $299 WL price.

The Studio Series is getting crapped on here and there, but i am exremely excited and pleased with my choice.

Even after sleeping on it.

Had to download Studio Strings Pro, BHCT, and OACT from my main office -

Ahhh,

i just checked my Remote Desktop, download complete.

Now for a quad espresso and 16 ounces of scalding Sumatra...

Spitfire weekend.
