SPITFIRE AUDIO Abbey Road One: Legendary Low Strings

The iconic sound of cinema

Create impact and intrigue with epic low-string performances inspired by classic legend and fantasy films. This self-contained, stand-alone library will add that unmistakable Abbey Road magic to your compositions. It also makes the perfect accompaniment to Abbey Road One: Orchestral Foundations.

Deep, powerful, and even threatening, Cello and Bass sections from London’s leading players provide you with incredibly detailed and beautifully orchestrated performances. A range of versatile patches including marauding short notes, powerful longs, and Spitfire Audio’s new easy-to-use legato patches, enhancing vitality and realism still further.

Abbey Road Studio One

Enter the room most composers can only dream of: Abbey Road’s Studio One. Considered one of the finest acoustical spaces in the world, Studio One’s history has an indelible connection with the scores recorded there, providing emotion, mood, and magic for many of the most renowned and successful films ever made. Such classics as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Avengers: Endgame — all were recorded in Studio One. With its rich tonality, deep low end, and famed reverb, Studio One’s sound is widescreen and epic. Truly, it is the iconic sound of cinema.

At Spitfire Audio, our approach is to always record sample libraries in the same way that film scores are recorded, and Legendary Low Strings is no exception. This library, and indeed all of the Abbey Road One Selections, puts the same first-call musicians that play on globally-successful movies at your fingertips, all recorded by multi GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer Simon Rhodes (Avatar, Hugo, Harry Potter) and featuring the legendary Abbey Road microphones and outboard gear.

Building on Orchestral Foundations

Expanding on Abbey Road One: Orchestral Foundations, a 90-piece symphonic orchestra that was our first partnership with Abbey Road Studios, Legendary Low Strings is a fully-fledged, stand-alone library. Recorded the same way your favourite composer would – the unmistakable acoustics of Abbey Road Studio One, exceptional players, award-winning sound engineers and priceless microphones, all allowing you to quickly and easily create film scores. Level up your existing symphonic orchestra toolkit or pair with Orchestral Foundations to get the classic cinematic woodwind sound.

With a beautiful, modern design, Legendary Low Strings and indeed all of the Abbey Road One Selections are housed in our award-winning plug-in, which loads directly into all major DAWs (VST2, VST3, AU, AAX & NKS-compatible) without the need for any additional software. Easy to use, intuitive and inspiring, our plug-in has been designed by composers, for composers.
