Spitfire Audio Abbey Road Two: Iconic Strings (Digital product)

Abbey Road Two: Iconic Strings captures the essence of five of London’s finest string players—two violins, viola, cello, and double bass—with an exceptional level of detail. Recorded in the legendary Studio Two at Abbey Road, this library brings the iconic string sound, known for its rich, warm, and intimate tone, right to your music productions.

Engineered by Grammy-winning Sam Okell, the recordings utilize a blend of vintage and modern microphones, preserving the unique sonic character of Abbey Road’s renowned acoustic environment. The library offers two expertly mixed signals: a modern mix and a vintage mix that channels the classic sound of Abbey Road’s vintage REDD desk, RS124 compressor, and J37 tape machine.

Designed for composers and producers seeking both depth and ease of use, Abbey Road Two: Iconic Strings includes a wide variety of articulations such as long, sul ponticello, sul tasto, trills, tremolo, spiccatissimo, spiccato, staccato, marcato, and pizzicato. The advanced legato system features slurred legato, performance legato (including alternate attacks and fast runs), offering unparalleled realism and expressiveness.

One of the standout features is the Arranger tool, which allows intuitive control over ensemble voices and ranges, simplifying the writing process with curated ensemble techniques. Available in both Core and Professional editions, this library caters to different creative needs—from essential microphone mixes and reverb options in Core to a full set of 12 signals and the most expressive legatos in the Professional edition.
