Recorded in a dry studio environment, this collection captures the essence of each string instrument in vivid detail, offering a close, intimate sound that retains the unique character of the players.
The library includes a diverse range of articulations, including real Legato, Sustain, Tremolo, Arc Vibrato, Staccato, and more, each recorded with precision to bring depth and realism to any composition.
