Yeah, I've been waiting for the inevitable Wishlist sale to upgrade my whole package to Pro. Hopefully I'll have the funds together by May.
Oh, I'm thinking ahead! Especially with the advance notice. Very psyched.

Will it definitely be a 40% off sale on wishlist items?That means I'll only pay $120 in May for the upgrade ooOOO yeah!
I bought Spitfire Studio Woodwinds, Jr. for $150 to sit in my template until CSW comes out. As a dry library, it blends pretty well--with a bit of work. While I read reactions all over the map on this, I am enjoying the library and have no buyer's remorse.
And when CSW finally drops, I expect there will be many articulations and instruments in this library that won't be in CSW.
Do expect a Spitfire Wish List sale in May or June.
Exactly my experience!
It was cheap, it was worth it, it has comprehensive articulations, it's fairly better recorded & programmed than HWW, it's NOT very versatile or emotive for featured wind solos, it's doing good work in my current synthestration template, it's easy and consistent to program, and it will be replaced when CSW comes out. Happy I didn't get the "pro" version as all I would have gained is EHn, contrabassoon and some more mics.
Apostate, you mentioned $120 for the Spitfire Studio Woodwinds update, which I believe would be 40% off for this wishlist sale.Looks like you have some purchase-ready folks here
I'm just a hobbyist and have no plans to own a lot of orchestral libraries.This makes more than one person who's told me all they're waiting for is CSW; to me the only other WW library I want is OT Berlin; SStW, Hein, and EWH cover my needs.
I really like the sparkling sound of the SStW, really crisp on the higher ranges. I think the darker OT WW will complement this library perfectly.
That said, I sure have heard a lot of good things about the CS libraries!

I'm wondering if you are guessing this, or if Spitfire told it to you or announced it somewhere.
I would recommend going for Pro unless you *really* don't need the additional instruments and are completely satisfied with the single Tree 1 mic.
Thirty-six.I mean, how many string libraries does one need?
You know, I just mentioned how this was mainly good for ensembles, yet I just went fooling around with the Alto Flute's legato on a fast phrase and really liked it!
I've noticed on the clarinets the dynamics slider adds the abovementioned brilliance when moved to the right.
I should clarify that when I said this library is best suited to ensemble use, I meant woodwinds used in an ensemble context, both solos and unison sections, as opposed to very exposed solo parts or chamber music. The solo instruments in here are definitely very useful!
Damn, I have a long way to go. Unless I can count all those 8dio ones separately.....Thirty-six.
