Spitfire Audio, the British audio software company, has announced a new acoustic guitar toolkit made in partnership with Fink.
Not content with developing incredible sounding string libraries, Spitfire is now turning its attention to six strings as well. Having amassed over ten million downloads of their Lab series, the company has a large number of users to please and broadening the sound is one way to do this. Recorded at the renowned Jazzanova Recording Studios in Berlin, and performed by Fink, this Signature series line is out today. Here’s one six string that ain’t going to collect dust in the corner of the studio.
Fink Signatures Walkthrough Video
Signatures is a sample library that has three distinctive acoustic guitars. As can be expected with Spitifire’s dedication to quality, the recordings are expertly recorded.
There is a wide range of sounds to choose from too from delicate to punchy, including pulled, plucked, muted and thumbed one-shots, pristine harmonics and strumming patterns.
Going deeper, these sounds are embellished with percussive tempo-synced loops and hits, vocals, and versatile pads all guitar-based.
Continuing their process of collaborating with an artist, Spitfire teamed up with Fink, best known as a Ninja Tune recording artist and guitarist.
