Either they don't care about traditional sample libraries anymore or they think there is nothing left to do. So they focus on pads/soundscapes.Is it me, or have the last few releases from Spitfire been a bit, meh? I just feel like they've hit a wall.

Question is: what libraries need to be made still? Traditional orchestra has been done, there’s a studio range for a different room and a lot of good ambient libraries have been done.
At this point they are more likely to go for experimental stuff; which is more hit-or-miss than say, a standard brass library.
Personally, I would like to see more in-depth on specific styles since there’s still range to cover there, kinda like the Albion range & Bernard Hermann toolkit. It’s probably a stretch, but I wouldn’t mind seeing some jazzy stuff either.
I tend to agree with you on this. Don't get me wrong, I am definitely a "fanboy" of Spitfire. However, I feel like there has been something lacking in the past few releases from them. Maybe it's because the market is oversaturated at the moment, maybe it's because SA's marketing is always so over the top (in a good way) that we expect the whole universe in one sample library? As I recall for a while last year they were releasing more "generic" orchestral libraries and then people started to complain that they wanted more "ambient-textural libraries", so now the past few have been more along the experimental side. Maybe as a company, they are a bit confused as to what consumers want, and they are falling into the trap of trying to please everyone? Or at least please those that shout the loudest? Who knows. I am honestly just speculating. You folks on the forum are much wiser than I could ever be - so it would be great to get your thoughts on the matter. In my opinion, I am completely with @TomislavEP! I too wish they had left a really good playable piano in there and then had all those evos, textures and synths built around it - like the OACT. God knows we don't need another piano library - but hell yes it would have been nice, especially from SA!Is it me, or have the last few releases from Spitfire been a bit, meh?

I'd like to see a deep sampled collection of middle eastern instruments recorded in Air by Spitfire or in Teldex by Orchestral Tools, but I guess they won't be interested. Because their main audience is film/game composers.Question is: what libraries need to be made still?

I would also like a Frank Zappa Toolkit, to capture his particular style. In sixteen volumes.I would love for them to do a Robert Fripp Toolkit.
Wasn't the latest Studio series title released just a few months ago?Either they don't care about traditional sample libraries anymore or they think there is nothing left to do. So they focus on pads/soundscapes.
I am not sure if you are serious, but I would love to see the Zappa estate release his Synclavier custom sample library. Ruth marimba!I would also like a Frank Zappa Toolkit, to capture his particular style. In sixteen volumes.
