- The ever growing Abbey Road Orchestra has undergone the string treatment. To be precise, it's all about the 1st Violins. In this first string instalment, 16 of the finest violin players have been recorded in the legendary Abbey Road Studio One. With Simon Rhodes at the helm, you can expect detail, character and a plethora of mic mixes.
ARO 1st Violins comes in two packages, Core and Pro. Core features all of the main articulations with a single curated Simon Rhoades mix, while Pro has more legato, 16 mic signals and two Simon Rhodes mixes.
Join Pete Checkley as he guides us through Spitfire Audio's most detailed string library to date.

Keep making that music!
Thanks Greg! :) I really can’t wait for the rest of the orchestra!
Build an ssd NAS to house them all...lol... a big one!
Brilliant review ,got them on pre order ,finally i can make more use of Abbey Road one
Lovely strings indeed. Nicely done Pete.
I can hear these violins have that Jóhann Jóhannsson vibe when you leave the trem off ! Nice
Not bad. But still feels stiff. Granted Vanilla is the most versatile flavor... does it diverge enough from other offerings? Probably not. But not a bad entry option!
Yeah I concur. Feels like dead samples being triggered by scripts. No movement and emotion. Sadly, Spitfire continues to use outdated recording and scripting techniques to make their Legatos.
Hopefully Abbey Road Orchestra will make complete at Strings, and hopefully next will be Brass and Woodwinds.
Did they resolve the terrible releases on spitfire strings packs?
How would you compare this to appassionata ? Which is one of my favourite leg Strings to play or write with
So if I buy the Pro version do I get to use the Core version if I want? Also are the articulation in the Core version exactly the same as their Pro version counterparts? same samples, dynamic layers etc etc Also congratulations on using the correct DAW.
The Pro version is the Core version with much more, so you are getting the core version wrapped in the Pro. But if you are looking to load only the Core version, 19:25
Does this blend well with abbey road 1?

@@donpaloma3985thanks man that was great 👍🏾
Can’t wait to try this :) thx
I think Spitfire's dated sampling techniques has let this library down a bit, or held it back from being the best strings library ever. Have no problem with the sound of the violins, I mean cmon, who can hate how anything sounds in Abbey Road, but my problem is with the legatos. The violins sound so dead. The legato technology is good, different legatos and whatnot, but the sustains sound so minimalistic to me. No film score passion, emotion and movement. Like I can imagine this sound for an Icelandic, frozen score, but not for a soaring melody. I hear it even in Blakus's Skyward demo. That demo would have sounded so much better with Pacific Ensemble Strings.
horrible legato
