Critic Reviews

Spitfire Percussion

soundonsound.com

Spitfire Percussion delivers a stunning orchestral experience with its beautifully recorded samples, capturing the rich ambience of Air Lyndhurst Hall. The library shines with powerful timpani and expressive marimba, making it a must-have for serious composers. However, it lacks some common percussion staples, like triangles, and the vibraphone suffers from programming quirks. While it's designed for those who prefer to craft their own parts, the absence of certain effects and variations might leave some users wanting more. Overall, this collection is a treasure trove for adding depth and realism to your compositions, but it won't cover every conceivable need.
