The Crow Hill Company – Glass Strings v1.1.3 for WiN

In a soundtrack world monotoned by swampy, epic-sounding sampled strings, Crow Hill, drawing on years of sampling experience, has rewritten the rules to introduce an alternative approach. An approach where the power of your music can be expressed through genuine emotion, not simply through the number of musicians sitting at desks playing single, monotonous notes. 

This individual approach to each note is embedded in our new production process, offering the composer’s world a new set of tools that set you apart from the orchestral maelstrom. If you want a soundtrack that is simultaneously ultra-delicate and captivatingly dynamic, cinematic, eschewing machine-like orchestral sounds in favor of something utterly human, Glass Strings is the one for you

Crow Hill’s sampling pedegree at it’s best here. A broad and unique selection of modern articulations. Some of the best legato in the business. But also more trailblaising new sample technologies including gesture-based articulations which make you feel like the band is interpreting your music as you write.

With a selection of microphone signals to choose from (or indeed incorporate into a true-surround mix) custom curated effects designed by composers who use these tools day in, day out. Not least our “glass” control which can attenuate the levels of the fundamentals being played in order to prevent frequency-peaking often found when working on larger arrangements with orchestral samples.

We have distilled not just decades of making these tools, but using them as composers ourselves on the front line to come up with something we are confident is a sound investment in your musical journey.
