Finding the perfect high-pitched bash for your cinematic or orchestral productions requires elbow grease. Spitfire is here to lend a hand
Spitfire Audio: Abbey Road Orchestra - High Percussion £399 PC MAC

Percussion has always played an essential role in musical scoring and production, but finding libraries which cater for the evermore bombastic demands of today’s soundtracks, hasn’t always been easy.

Live from Abbey Road

Ever since Spitfire Audio first forged an alliance with Abbey Road Studios, a couple of years ago, we’ve been getting a constant feed of libraries recorded at Studios 1 and 2 coming through in new releases. It feels like there’s about to be a groundswell in the direction of Studio 1, as Spitfire’s latest library appears in your DAW plugin list as Abbey Road Orchestra.

The latest release follows the floor-shaking endeavours of Low Percussion, with the much brighter and arguably more substantial High Percussion. We’re firmly in the realm of drum and hand percussion, rather than tuned or mallet-based instruments, and all recorded from within the hallowed acoustics of Studio 1 at Abbey Road. It’s one of the premier soundtrack scoring locations in the world, and provides an altogether different acoustic to Spitfire’s previous orchestral libraries, located at Air.
