In a departure from Spitfire’s usual library format which uses Native Instrument’s Kontakt sample player, Hans Zimmer Strings comes as a plugin supporting VST2, VST3, AAX and AU formats. The samples were recorded at AIR studios, London, which is where many of Spitfire’s libraries were recorded so the samples will blend well with other Spitfire libraries. There are 234 presets and up to – wait for it – 26 Mic positions. The library was recorded using 344 string players – 140 Violins, 40 Violas, 140 Cellos, and 24 Basses. Otherwise, an internet cable connection or lots of patience is helpful. It rolls in at 183Gb (200Gb required during installation) – yes, you read that correctly – and if that runs the risk of maxing out your hard drive, it’s also available on a hard drive for an extra £59 which will also serve as a backup. Spitfire’s Hans Zimmer Strings is absolutely massive in all senses of the word. Price: £699 Spitfire Audio’s Hans Zimmer Strings – what is it?
