Monkeying with libraries
Ooooooh yes, I can imagine.Imagine drums and guitars sampled with John Peel's classic studio setup.
What a fantastic idea you got !

It gets curiouser and curiouser!
EDIT: Some info was tweeted by SA Recordings 2 days ago (not sure if that was posted here?):
This one was already announced on their youtube channel:
"four different bundles" coming?
You can bet your life CH told everyone in that dev room in advance that he was going in to film his vlog, despite how spontaneous and unannounced his arrival seems. They would have been asked to hide anything related to Wednesday’s announcement.
Yes - if it was on 4th July, I thought 3 of them could be videos for the 3 "Scoring Bundles" which were released recently.That just refers to Oliver’s recent videos for some existing bundles.
Christian is obviously hyped but I'm a bit worried by his statement of this thing may not being everyone's cup of tea ... please don't be a special interests library ...

Clearly they had a capital infusion from investors, but somehow they have to grow, ...
I believe they took venture funding in early 2017. Maybe they are going public
Of course, as Spitfire Audio appears to be profitable, they would never go public in the US
It seems that their plan is to diversify into other areas of the music industry.Sampling has a small audience and a limited product space. There are maybe 30-50 instruments that people need sampled, beyond that it's just flavor of the month. Spitfire's approach is boutique offerings, unusual recording studio (Air with that nutty reverb that the studio does its best to damp) and composer branded libraries. CH has managed to build up a following which helps. Anyhow their business model doesn't look sustainable FWIW, I wonder how they pitched it to the VC's.

2 1/2 years after a round is about when the VCs start nagging you create a liquidity event or at least raise a second round. Fun to speculate ...
OK, enough free marketing for Spitfire
A "young" (junior?, graduate?) software engineer in London is closer to $30-50k/year depending on various factors - Even a senior software developer is usually on much less than $100k+. A quick google of Spitfire Audio jobs finds that they recently advertised a PHP senior developer role for $70k and a senior front-end developer for $60k. For the kinds of rates you're talking about, you're looking at very specialized, very experienced engineers with high pressure jobs, who are on daily contracts. Also, not sure I'd call Spitfire a 'small company' nowadays - a 2019 picture on their website shows 60+ staff and I'd imagine that doesn't include everyone.Consider: I like to study small companies and how they work as a hobby
No way! We move on to the next stage where we argue that Spitfire should have released the thing we thought it was, not the thing it turns out to be.By the way, once the release is disclosed next Wednesday, shall we consider a small ceremony to bury this thread.
Something simple, a candle, a song of Celine Dion, some words from CH.
I’d like to be prepared.
