The Castle by the Sea - Alex Palmer (BBCSO PRO)

Century 2.0 includes 2 new mixes with the instruments placed in natural orchestral seating position.  Great, polished sound, out of the box.  MIX A is very focused and detailed.  LOTS of bow.  MIX B is wide and ambient, puffy and warm. We realize that many composers out there are defining their own sound by mixing and matching libraries.  With this in mind, we will also be providing EQ presets and videos to help you mix Century with other great strings libraries.

8Dio Century Strings 2.0 'Howdy, Lone Star'(Strings Only) by Colin O'Malley (MIX A)

The 8Dio Studio Solo Strings series carries on from our critically acclaimed Intimate Studio product line. Now with more grit, intensity, controllability and of course articulations. The Studio Solo Viola marks countless hours of critical recording and capturing of essential musical performances, which have been carefully curated and crafted into a fully playable solo instrument. Featuring only the best in musicianship, the Solo Viola has all the intricacy and passion you would expect, capable of dynamic and moving performances, through to authentically virtuosic playing. Recorded in a controlled studio environment, the Viola was captured in incredible detail and without compromise utilizing two dual-microphone techniques. This combined method allows you to freely blend between a direct signal and a more spacious and ambient position, enabling you to control the positioning and distance of the Viola accurately.
