Created by Dan Keen: "Welcome to Soft String Spurs, a sample library of my viola. There are 3 main components to this collection of sounds; the Core, which has 4 dynamic layers (Levels 1 and 2 were recorded using a mute, Levels 3 and 4 were recorded without a mute), Harmonics (4 time-stretched and manipulated natural harmonics) and Swells. I recorded this diatonically, recording 4 bows per sample, using a combination of AKG C451B close and AKG C214 stereo room mics for width. To enhance the sound further, I also recorded multiple layers. Level 1 has just a single recording and Levels 2, 3 and 4 have 3, 4 and 5 layers respectively.

The samples were produced with minimal compression, EQ and reverb to allow you to have flexibility with the sound, but I must say they take very well to delay and reverb, as outlined in my YouTube walkthrough and tutorial video below. The dynamics of the Core library can be faded between using the Mod Wheel and the volume for the Harmonics and Swells can be adjusted with CC21 (Spitfire's vibrato control). The combination of these plus CC11 Volume controller allow for easy use of all three instruments simultaneously."

Soft String Spurs

Battaglia I

Here is my first ever cue I compose to movie scene. It is from "Avangers: Age of Ultron" where Thor together with professor Erik Selvig entered the Norn cave. Scene was deleted from final cut. Definitely works better with picture, but wanted to share it anyway.
