22 musicians performed as soloists and as an ensemble, with over 60 articulations on double bass, cello, viola and violin. The recordings were filmed in detail using world-class microphones and preamps in various positions, ensuring that each sample resonates with realistic space, detail and energy. Whether you need an evocative single instrument melody, a huge tremolo sustain, or something in between, this library has you covered.
