  • Hello, hello,

    I bought Symphonic Woodwinds in august last year but haven't delved seriously into it until now.

    I'm sad to say, when using it with only close mics, the amount of audible re-tounging and clacking and taking a new breath and, on some notes, a deep rumble, is quite astonishing. If you're repeating short notes you get a a small choir of clacking and clicking following everything.

    I'm afraid to say this but it comes across as really shoddy work.

    Try the close mic of the Marcato on the Bass Flute for instance. These seem like things that could have been completely avoided with more careful recording and precise editing of the samples (the Solo Clarinet Staccato for instance, is – considering how the rest of the library sounds – surprisingly clean).

    Spitfire Audio seem to put so much care and passion and work into these libraries (and the presentation of them online), so is this just what we're supposed to expect? Is this the standard? For 599£? Am I just using it wrong?

    Enclosing a single not from the Solo Clarinet Legato with what sounds like seat-shifting.
