Critic Reviews

Spitfire Audio Mural Symphonic Strings

soundonsound.com

Spitfire Mural I Strings delivers a stunning orchestral experience with its lush, expansive sound and top-notch performances from 60 of London's finest string players. The recording quality is exceptional, capturing the essence of a full symphonic orchestra, making it ideal for serious composers. However, the library is not without its drawbacks: Volume 1 lacks certain essential articulations for second violins and violas, which may frustrate users looking for a complete package. Additionally, at its price point, it’s a significant investment, but for those seeking authentic symphonic textures, Mural is a worthy consideration. Overall, a triumph in orchestral sampling with room for improvement.

Spitfire Mural Vol 1 offers a grand orchestral sound with its expansive string section, excelling in playability and performance options. However, it falls short with notable omissions like sustain pedal control on long notes and lacks certain articulations that could enhance expressiveness. While the library’s quality is impressive, especially for dynamic range, the absence of features like portamento and a few articulations leaves room for improvement. Overall, it’s a solid choice for serious composers, but potential buyers should be aware of its limitations.

Spitfire Audio BML Mural Volume 1 Review - MusicTech

Spitfire Mural I Strings delivers a lush symphonic experience straight out of the box, making it an ideal choice for film and game composers. The expansive mic options and rich tonal qualities provide an authentic sound that’s easy to manipulate. However, the absence of staccatos and some more common articulations may leave classical purists wanting. While the library excels in its strengths, the high price tag for subsequent volumes could deter budget-conscious buyers. Overall, it's a fantastic tool for those focusing on cinematic scores, but may not satisfy everyone’s orchestral needs.
