I don't really agree with this, nor with much of the other typical talk about Spitfire Hype. Spitfire advertises and markets. Forums hype.
"To sound like a film score, you NEED to go where film makers go, with the same players, playing the same instruments".
"It's all about to CHANGE"
“To have all i need at my fingertips in one single plugin is a GAME CHANGER.”
" To usher in this new epoch, we have created a dedicated library that encompasses this new, beautiful REVOLUTION."
"This selection of instantly gratifying, progressive techniques is all you're going to need to take your scores into the next decade. Be part of the REVOLUTION!"
You're not wrong in saying that forums hype, because they do!
But unless you really believe that Neo is somehow revolutionary, or BBCSO is a game changer, or "you need to go where film makers go, with the same players, playing the same instruments" in order to sound like a film score, then you're just ignoring the hype that's clearly embedded in their marketing.
I mean, i can't necessarily knock SA for exaggerating their products. Just about every major retailer does this. It's what marketing is! I've never seen a Big Mac look the way it does in the commercials, and I'm not expecting it to, just like how I'm not expecting my music to sound like a film score if I buy SSS.
