Spitfire Studio Woodwinds is the third and final release in our vital Spitfire Studio Orchestra range. Our ambition was to create an incredibly versatile pro-end dry stage sample library, and by choosing the crisp and vibrant setting of AIR Studio One – a smaller, more controllable space than the opulent Lyndhurst Hall – we offer our fellow composers a woodwind library that captures every grain in depth and detail.
As with our other Studio libraries, we offer you a wide range of instruments from the section – from the guttural depths of the bassoon to the gleaming sounds of the piccolo. With solo or section performances, choose from an abundant range of articulations, and realise the detail of your music with rips, key noise FX, swells, and sforzandi. Boasting the widest emotional range of performance in pin-sharp detail, Spitfire Studio Woodwinds will breathe new life in to your orchestra.
Two years in the making, Studio Woodwinds is the third section of our new Studio orchestral libraries. It has all the treasured Spitfire hallmarks: A-list London session players, the best instruments and an unparalleled signal path recorded to tape by Grammy award-winning engineer Simon Rhodes – in a room perfectly suited to capturing the granular detail and velvet sonority of the woodwind family. As with our existing symphonic and chamber ranges, we have applied a “no stone unturned” approach: an encyclopaedia of articulations, dynamic layers and round-robins for seamless, nuanced realism.
Spitfire Studio Woodwinds takes you straight to the section’s roots for instant results: 143 articulations across 11 instruments, including 7 solo – all recorded to a Decca tree rig featuring Schoeps microphones. This peerless detail and control extends to the articulations, which fulfil all the traditional requirements, but include extended techniques such as Multitongue, Air and Key FX, staccatissimo and swells. Instantly usable, and immediately musical, whatever stage you are at.
Spitfire users now have a comprehensive range of orchestral manoeuvres. We believe Studio Woodwinds suits users of our existing Lyndhurst Hall ranges as an essential sonic alternative, suitable for the widest range of musical settings and ready for your own favourite reverbs and FX. With the versatility we have engineered into this library, we have no doubt that Spitfire Studio Woodwinds will be a cherished part of your music-making over the next decade.
Recorded by Simon Rhodes
Simon Rhodes was an obvious choice for our entirely new Studio Orchestra range – a microphone magician with multiple Grammy awards to his name, and a senior engineer at Abbey Road Studios. Simon has worked at the highest level in film score recording, having been James Horner’s go-to engineer for 18 years. Blockbuster movies such as Avatar, Skyfall and Spectre have also had the Rhodes treatment.
“For the Spitfire Studio Woodwinds sessions, the approach echoes what we did with the Studio Strings and Brass, so there is complete consistency between the libraries. The main Schoeps mics were the same, and I captured two flavours of spots.” For more mic positions and two curated mixes, check out the Professional edition of the library.

Spitfire Studio Brass is the second release in our vital all-new Spitfire Studio Orchestra range. Two years in the making, our ambition was to create an incredibly versatile pro-end dry stage sample library. By choosing the crisp and vibrant setting of AIR Studio One — a smaller, more controllable space than the opulent Lyndhurst Hall — we offer our fellow composers a brass library with depth, detail, and awesome punch. Epic power is on tap, with the widest emotional range of performance, but it comes with the grace and pinpoint detail of the dry stage, expertly recorded by Grammy award-winning engineer Simon Rhodes. Choose solo, duet, or section performances, and realise the detail of your music with swells, flutter tongues, and staccatissimo stabs, as well as traditional articulations.

As with our existing symphonic and chamber ranges, we have applied a “no stone unturned” approach: an encyclopaedia of articulations, dynamic layers and round-robins for seamless, nuanced realism.
Spitfire Studio Brass takes you straight to the engine room, and offers immediate gratification: 8 instruments, including 4 soloists, plus two player sections – all recorded through a Schoeps Decca Tree. The articulations include a range of extended techniques and mutes, and three variants of shorts: staccatissimo, tenuto and marcato. Instantly usable, immediately musical.
Spitfire users now have a comprehensive range of orchestral manoeuvres. We believe Studio Brass suits users of our existing Lyndhurst Hall ranges as an essential sonic alternative. It is also perfect for those looking to buy a brass library that will give them the most bang for their buck – being usable in the widest range of musical settings, ready for your own favourite reverbs and FX.

“For the Spitfire Studio Brass sessions, the general approach was similar to the Studio Strings – using one of my tried and tested approaches to smaller rooms, with Schoeps room mics – so there’s consistency between the libraries.”

The Splice Sacred Instruments by Gio Israel is the new culmination of recordings made in special locations around the world. Capturing unique and rare sounds, while focusing on ritualistic instruments, some of which have been used for centuries to gather people and elevate the human spirit.
Handpan is a term for a group of musical instruments that are classified as a subset of the steelpan. Based on the physical properties of the Trinidadian steelpan, Indian ghatam, Thai gong and Indonesian Gamelan etc. Consisting of two metal half-shells glued together, a center tone field (named Ding) surrounded by a circle of at least seven tone fields on the upper side and an opening in the bottom side (named Gu). Due to its unique tonal property, Handpan is featured in global music and contemporary sound ceremonies.
When it comes to drums, the importance of ‘feel’ can’t be overstated.
Whether it’s a pumping house beat or an understated jazz groove, drums often serve as the foundation that ties our music together. For this reason, we want the beats we hear to feel just right and naturally flow through us, as something we feel both intrinsically and instinctively.
When it comes to making music, it’s important that this frictionless experience of rhythms extends beyond our listening experience and into our production process as well – we want to be able to quickly act on our immediate creative instincts, without barriers or clunky workflows getting in the way.
Splice’s new Beatmaker empowers us to do just that. Designed for creative efficiency, Beatmaker allows you to craft grooves and define your sound in minutes. In this article, we explore how you can get the most out of the plugin to produce your best rhythms yet.
