Spitfire Audio可能以其出色的管弦乐库Albion 1和2而闻名，这两个库都特别适合即时、速写板风格的电影创作。例如，阿尔比恩1号中的法国号角被分配给高音铜管，并在号角下方演奏一个八度音阶，这是一种常见的电影配乐技术。在《阿尔比恩2》中，它们与幼发音结合在一起。两个库中都没有专用的喇叭补丁。然而，作为名为英国模块化库的新产品系列的一部分，喷火战斗机的最新版本BML Horn Section Vol.1为作曲家提供了创作详细管弦乐号角部分的方法。增量部分提供下载，运行它需要Kontakt 4.2.4或5的完整版本。
虽然包括七个麦克风位置以及混合立体声和5.1环绕声版本，但最初的下载仅包含主要麦克风（近距离、树形、环境和支腿）。其他人大约三周后跟进。由于下载量很大，这样做是为了避免服务器过载。
最好的英国
根据喷火战斗机的理念，记录了三名顶级英国球员——两名在一起（a2），一名单人。这允许在不扼杀个人细节的情况下建造更大的部分。例如，使用a2补丁一起弹奏两个音符，你就有四个角；三个音符合在一起，你就有六个角，以此类推。当然，同样的原理也适用于独奏者。
Spitfire Audio is perhaps best known for its excellent orchestral libraries, Albion 1 and 2, both of which are particularly suited to on-the-fly, sketchpad-style cinematic composition. The French horns in Albion 1, for example, are assigned to the high brass and play an octave below the trumpets, a common film-scoring technique. In Albion 2 they are combined with a euphonium. There are no dedicated horn patches in either library. However, as part of a new product range called the British Modular Library, Spitfire's latest release, BML Horn Section Vol.1, provides composers with the means to compose detailed orchestral horn parts. Available as a download in incremental sections, a full version of Kontakt 4.2.4 or 5 is required to run it.
Although seven microphone positions plus mixed stereo and 5.1 surround versions are included, the initial download contains just the main mics (close, tree, ambient and outrigger). The others follow about three weeks later. Being large downloads, it's done this way to avoid server overload.
Best of British
In keeping with the Spitfire philosophy, three top-class British players were recorded – two together (a2) and one solo. This allows larger sections to be built without smothering the individual detailed playing. For example, play two notes together using the a2 patch and you have four horns; three notes together and you have six horns, and so on. The same principle applies, of course, to the solo player. |
