Cinematic Frozen Strings and Intimate Strings are crazy good deals, and are definitely my two favorites from the Originals line. Frozen Strings is almost like a "first chairs" expansion for Albion Tundra. And Intimate Strings is almost like a "lite" version of the Chamber Strings ensemble patch. I generally prefer Chamber Strings by a decent margin, but Intimate Strings does have its own unique character. The flautando and especially the half-section long patches are stunning. It's also interesting to note that Intimate Strings uses samples from the now-discontinued Albion Loegria library, which was the very first Spitfire library to have flautandos.
I agree! I really love those 2 libraries and I love using them together usually playing the same part. Thanks for sharing your insight and knowledge on those libraries! 💥
Thanks for the review. Intimate strings is a great sound, for anything that doesn't involve legato. Media toolkit is a bit of a mish-mash of things that can be hit and miss. The 'blipper' bass synth I use quite frequently. For me the outstanding release in 2022 was Epic Choir - superb quality at a great price and very flexible.
As always spectacular video. I have almost all the originals libraries (except abe laboriel jr drums, jangle box piano, mrs mills, cibalom, drumline, firewood piano). I agree with all your choices, made. I understand the inclusion of Mrs. Mills (but I really would have ruled it out). I have a positive word for cinematic percussion. An interesting ranking (the first three maybe), would also be that of the SA RECORDINGS libraries, which I find extraordinary almost all (especially Acustic shadow, Entropy, Spectrum and of course Landfil Totems).
I really need to investigate the Cinematic Percussion further! Your the second person to rave about it. I agree the SA stuff is amazing! Thank you for your comment! 😀👍🏼
Hey Tore! Thanks for your comment. Yes, I need to look into Entropy. 💥 It’s not a Spitfire Originals library though, it’s under SA Recordings. Maybe I should review the SA Recording stuff next.😊👍🏼
@@ComposerDanielWillett Yes you are right, Spitfire have many series, and not being so much into classical im more searching for unique sounds like Hainback but also more of the ones you have reviewed. I know one of the largest in Norwegian symphonic black metal and he uses several of the bigger sample packages they got.
It'd be really nice if they add ADSR settings to their strings, and a way to control velocity by the key hits instead of having it only mapped to the modwheel.
Nice video Dan I too have some originals. Epic wood wind and brass epic strings and cinematic percussion is very good best timpini drums I've ever heard and one of the best pianos I've got was free the Philip glass piano stunning. Any way thanks f sharing best regards Phil UK England 👍
Thank you Phil! I know what you mean about the Philip Glass piano. It’s stunningly gorgeous! 💥 I will look deeper into the Cinematic Percussion based on your recommendation! 👍🏼

Great video. Love and own all these libraries. Thanks for the great walkthrough of the patches.

Very cool, I have list myself with 5 or 6 titles im considering over time. Great video as always! Alex Epton - Entropy is top on my list.

Great list! Spitfire really outdid themselves!
Thank you! I love Spitfire. 😀

TOM HOLLAND?????
That’s funny! I haven’t heard that one in a while. 😆
Hmmmm. Frozen Strings and Cinematic Pads when combined sound a lot similar to Polaris🤔
Really? What patches? Polaris is a pretty deep library.
