Alternative Solo Strings is Spitfire Audio’s gritty and unconventional take on solo string sampling. Instead of pristine and polished sounds, this library captures the raw emotion, expressiveness, and unpredictability of four of the UK’s most in-demand session musicians:
🎻 Violin – Warren Zielinski
🎻 Viola – Joel Hunter
🎻 Cello – Chris Worsey
🎻 Double Bass – Mary Scully
These players have worked on Oscar-winning scores and with legendary artists like Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, James Newton Howard, Daft Punk, U2, and Max Richter, bringing decades of musical experience to this collection.
Recorded in Spitfire Audio’s high-spec in-house studio, this library offers a dry stage sound, giving you maximum control over placement and processing. Whether you want an intimate chamber performance, a raw cinematic solo, or an overdubbed Hans Zimmer-style layer, Alternative Solo Strings provides the expressive bite you need.
