🎻 Soft String Soloists – Emotive Scandinavian String Sound for Modern Scoring 🎶
Elevate your compositions with Soft String Soloists, a beautifully crafted library inspired by the signature Scandinavian string sound that’s become a hallmark of contemporary drama soundtracks. Whether you’re scoring intimate moments or subtle emotional scenes, this library features a trio of violin, viola, and cello, each performing with a soft dynamic to evoke a rich, emotive atmosphere.
🎼 About The Library
As composers, we often seek the perfect solo strings to convey delicate and intimate emotions in our music. However, many string libraries are designed with a more prominent and virtuosic tone, making them less suitable for softer, more nuanced compositions. That’s why we created Soft String Soloists—to fill this gap and offer you the perfect companion for emotive scoring.
Drawing inspiration from the Scandi String sound that’s defined neo-classical and contemporary drama music, this library brings you the lush sound of solo strings with exceptional realism and control. Featuring solo violin, viola, and cello, Soft String Soloists utilizes our Smart Legato engine, first introduced with Brass Band Soloists, to deliver ultra-realistic legato playback and unprecedented expressive control. 🎶
🌟 Key Features:
- Two Stunning Legato Types: Choose between standard and portamento legato to create seamless transitions and rich, expressive phrases.
- Versatile Articulations: Includes long, short, and swelled articulations commonly found in neo-classical music, giving you full expressive range.
- Smart Legato Engine: Achieve lifelike performance with exceptional realism and control over phrasing and dynamics.
- Traditional String Quartet Layout: Recorded at Nave Studios with close, mid, and far microphone positions, allowing you to achieve a range of sounds, from intimate to spacious.
- Instrument Placement Feature: Position each instrument anywhere within the hall layout, enabling flexible ensemble configurations and easy integration with other libraries in your collection. 🎧
🎵 Why Soft String Soloists?
Perfect for composers looking for a soft, intimate, and emotive tone, Soft String Soloists delivers a beautiful Scandinavian-inspired sound that blends seamlessly into modern drama, film scores, and contemporary classical compositions. Whether you’re working on a film scene, TV score, or just want to add a unique touch to your project, this library gives you all the control you need to express subtle emotions with precision.
