But best of all, anyone spending £299.00 GBP (inc. VAT)/$349.00 USD/€349.00 EUR (inc. VAT) or more during The Black Weekend will receive APERTURE ORCHESTRA — available as a one-off weekend-only offer which will never be made available again — for free! From an intimate string quartet to rapturous symphony orchestra, APERTURE ORCHESTRA is an inspiring, world-class creative tool and a true innovation in sampling that sees Spitfire Audio harnessing the power of four different orchestral sections to release the beastly power of strings, brass, and woodwind. Move seamlessly from a lower layer STRING QUARTET of players performing at the softest level right up to a top layer SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA playing at full tilt — all in the same instrument. It is an imagined aperture in sound, expertly recorded in the hallowed (Lyndhurst) Hall at London’s legendary AIR Studios — scoring stage for Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters, including Harry Potter, The Dark Knight, and Interstellar — and split into two sets of articulations. As such, RAPTOR is a collection of 16 presets ranging from intimate to action in an instant. “The concept here is that you have the ‘aperture’ available at all times, whether on the short patches simply by playing harder or on the long patches by moving the mod wheel up so you get an incredible size difference,” describes Spitfire Audio co-founder and composer Paul Thomson, before adding: “There’s nothing purist about this; I think you can tell that from the dinosaur eye crying lava on the GUI!” As a collection of 14 presets offering stunning clouds of orchestras, blooming from light and textured strings to a widescreen beautiful and effects-full orchestral ambiance, the DREADNOUGHT articulations clearly change musical tack. “There we’re really finding our way through this kind of synth-made-of-orchestras feel that you get with a lot of great crossover films scores,” says Paul Thomson.
That all being said, APERTURE ORCHESTRA offers the most explosive orchestral sample-based virtual instrument library that Spitfire Audio has ever created — one which is almost impossible to recreate live, which is all the more reason to get it for free before it is gone forever! Fortunately, The Black Weekend provides plentiful opportunities to get more musical bang for the buck when spending £299.00 GBP (inc. VAT)/$349.00 USD/€349.00 EUR (inc. VAT) or more — not least APERTURE ORCHESTRA… open that imagined aperture in sound to instantly and seamlessly walk between performance worlds with mind-blowing musical results.
A selection of Spitfire Audio’s most popular individual sample libraries and virtual instruments included in The Black Weekend can conveniently be browsed and purchased via its dedicated webpage, while COLLECTIONS are already grouped.

VAT) or more from Spitfire Audio’s online store during The Black Weekend — running from November 26, 2020 through to midnight on December 1, 2020, inclusive — will receive this 6GB sample-based virtual instrument library (featuring 30 articulations and 6,378 samples) for free within 24 hours via e-mail. (Note that there is no need to spend that amount in one order, but rather make as many orders as needed to reach the threshold throughout the full six days of The Black Weekend.)
APERTURE ORCHESTRA needs Native Instruments’ KONTAKT PLAYER (5.6.8 or higher) — a free version of the KONTAKT sample playback engine (included in its purchase) — to run as a fully NKS (NATIVE KONTROL STANDARD®) supporting plug-in instrument for Mac (OS X 10.10 or later) or Windows (7, 8, or 10 — latest Service Pack, 32/64-bit), while Spitfire Audio’s free Download Manager application allows anyone to buy now and download anytime.

Peace by Audio Brewers – An Overview, the Innovative Bowed Instrument
If you’re a music producer or composer, you’ll know that an instrument’s sound can significantly impact the overall feel of a piece.
That’s why DustBowl Cinematic and Audio Brewers are so excited to present their one-of-a-kind bowed instrument – Peace! Let’s explore just what makes this innovative instrument so unique.
Design and Craft Process
Created by master luthier Stamatis Stringaris through a laborious transformation process, Peace was crafted from a decommissioned Soviet missile shell.
The delicacy and precision required for such an endeavor is truly awe-inspiring.
Audio Brewers partnered with DustBowl Cinematic during the creation process to capture every minute detail of this unique instrument to create the highest quality samples possible.
Finding the Best Sonic Spots
The team at Audio Brewers then set out to find the best sonic spots where they could capture the sound of Peace in its purest form.
This involved creating an immersive sonic ambiance for each note and adjusting each sample until it perfectly reflected the instrument’s original sound. As a result, listeners can expect crisp, detailed notes that evoke feelings of peace and tranquility with each listen.
Power and Versatility of Next-Gen Adaptive Polyphonic Legato
What sets this bowed instrument apart from other musical offerings is its use of Next-Gen Adaptive Polyphonic Legato technology which allows it to automatically adapt to playing speed and dynamics without any mouse or DAW control needed – freeing musicians from being slaves to technology.
Additionally, Voice Movement Awareness ensures that even when using many voices simultaneously, each one will remain distinct and true to its original sound.
Stamatis Stringaris Pushes Boundaries with One-Of-A-Kind Missile Shell-Bowed Instrument
Stamatis Stringaris has taken his artistry to the next level by creating a one-of-a-kind bowed instrument crafted from the shell of a missile. Stringaris, the founder of DustBowl Cinematic, was inspired by unconventional materials such as found objects and fabrics to create something truly unique.
Using his skill and creativity, he fashioned this instrument out of all things industrial – an object built for destructive purposes now fashioned into something musical. He is pushing boundaries with his new design and immersing himself in the world of neo-traditionalism.
Audio Brewers and Dust Bowl Cinematic Collaborate to Bring Unique, Expressive Instrument to Life with Intuitive User Interface
Audio Brewers and DustBowl Cinematic have come together to bring a unique instrument to life. Through the detailed sampling of the instrument, its true personality can be heard.
Every nuance is captured, recreating a one-of-a-kind sound perfect for any artist. This expressive creativity is further amplified with the bonus of an intuitive user interface, making it easier than ever before to come up with seriously professional-looking results.
With the combined efforts of Audio Brewers and DustBowl Cinematic, this instrument’s power can be unleashed from studio productions to everyday music creation!
Peaceful Sound Achieved: The Complex Process of Crafting and Sampling a Calming Instrument
The development of peace is a highly complex process, beginning with the initial design and crafting of the instrument. Subsequently, finding its best sonic spots requires meticulous attention to craft an instrument that meets the desired specifications.
Sampling and mixing using immersive techniques isn’t quick or easy either; much trial and error must be used to find the optimal combination for a peaceful sound. Ultimately all of this work helps create a truly calming listening experience when these elements are brought together perfectly.
Revolutionary Polyphonic Legato Technology Brings New Level of Peace and Harmony to Musical Performances
Peace and harmony can now be achieved with the aid of enhanced Polyphonic Legato technology. This revolutionary product is adept at automatically adapting to the nuances and dynamics of an individual’s playing speed, allowing players of all levels to express themselves much more naturally.
A wide range of sound types, instruments, and evolution techniques make this a truly unique product that provides crystal-clear sound quality no matter the genre or style. Finally, players can enjoy unrivaled performances thanks to this innovative technology that takes their musical talents to new heights.
Revolutionary Adaptive Polyphonic Legato Liberates Musicians, Revolutionizes Music Production
Adaptive Polyphonic Legato technology liberates musicians from restrictive editing and production methods, revolutionizing the way music is made.
Adaptive Polyphonic Legato (APL) is musicians’ next big game changer. The vision of APL was born out of a need to break free from the often daunting and restrictive areas of using a mouse for music editing and a DAW for music production.
It is designed, coded, and explicitly adapted by and for musicians so that they can be liberated from tedious click-and-drag tasks. By harnessing the power of APL to its full potential, creatives can produce more freely and create groundbreaking music faster than ever before. Ultimately, this powerful new technology looks to revolutionize the way music is made in the 21st century!
True Panning and Dolby Atmos
When it comes to mixing, True Panning is an innovative technique that Crescent has pioneered. It allows users to place a strings ensemble around the listener’s head in three-dimensional space, creating an immersive experience unlike any other. It utilizes Ambisonics technology to achieve this, allowing for a much more realistic representation of the performance than traditional stereo hard panning.
Dolby Atmos is another technique that can take advantage of the spatial capabilities presented by Crescent products. Instead of simulating spaces and then placing a stereo signal in them like most other methods, Atmos uses a fully spatialized recording and unfolds it around the listener’s head – providing an incredibly accurate representation of what you would hear if you were present during the recording session. Furthermore, this process can be done in a matter of seconds and requires minimal effort on the part of the mixer.
Both techniques provide users with unprecedented levels of immersion and accuracy when compared to traditional processes, thus making them invaluable tools for achieving superior recordings and mixes.
The ease-of-use and impressive sound quality provided by both True Panning and Dolby Atmos make them essential components for any musician or engineer looking to take their productions to the next level.
4 Stereo Mixes Included
- A Mix offers great balance from the Musician’s perspective. You’ll feel embraced by the sound of the instrument plus you will hear the sound of the helmet complementing it with a reverb-like sensation.
- A BODY Mix offers the sound the shell emanates. The sound contains much more body and colour in the lower end.
- A HELMET Mix offers the sound that comes from the military helmet. Filling your music field with a thin reverb-like sound.
- A BINAURAL Mix offers the best Immersive type of sound if you are wearing headphones.
Stereo mixing is essential in music production, allowing the engineer to create a well-balanced mix that suits their artistic vision. By combining audio signals from multiple sources into a single stereo output, the engineer can create a sonic landscape that is truly unique and engaging.
At its core, stereo mixing involves combining two separate audio tracks – each of which has both left and right channels – into one complete mix. This technique also allows engineers to create various effects such as panning, spatial placement, reverb, compression and more. Commonly used to refer to the practice of blending different instruments or elements together to form a single soundscape, stereo mixing creates depth and texture in recordings.
One type of stereo mix is known as the ‘Mix’, which seeks to provide a balanced sound from the musician’s perspective. It combines all of the audio sources together by blending them into one cohesive mix. This type of mix ensures that each instrument is given equal weight within the recording and creates an immersive listening experience for the listener.
A ‘Body Mix’ on the other hand focuses more on creating a fuller overall sound through accentuating bass frequencies whilst still providing clarity for each instrument. Meanwhile, ‘Helmet Mixes’ offer a more reverb-like sound as they use military helmet microphones to capture sounds with thin reverberations that fill out the overall sound field.
Lastly, binaural mixes are explicitly designed for headphone listening experiences, offering an even more immersive sonic experience because they take advantage of directional cues inherent in natural 3D sound fields.
In conclusion, stereo mixing offers multiple options for creating engaging sonic landscapes that use various techniques such as panning, reverb and compression. Whether you’re looking for a balanced ‘Mix’ or something with greater body such as a ‘Body Mix’ or Helmet Mix’ – there’s sure to be something that meets your needs!
Experience the Future of Sound: Immersive Perspectives Revolutionizes Music Listening with Ambisonic Technology
Immersive Perspectives offers a different listening experience than traditional stereo or surround sound mixes. These mixes are created using Ambisonic technology, replicating a real-life environment’s sound to create a fully immersive 3D soundscape. Ambisonic technology captures sounds from all angles by using multiple channels and microphones placed strategically around the room, giving listeners an unprecedented level of realism and immersion.
In these real-world scenarios, sounds come from all directions—above and below our heads, from behind us and ahead of us, and from above and beyond us—creating a much more realistic listening experience than what could be achieved with a traditional stereo or surround sound mixes. With Immersive Perspectives, listeners can feel as if they’re actually in the recording space with the artist as they play their instrument.
Immersive Perspectives also offers true panning capabilities—listeners can move through virtual space as if they’re physically inside it. This enables engineers to place instruments at varying distances throughout the mix to create dynamic depth and movement in the soundscape. The result is a mix that provides more accurate localization of sounds within the mix and allows for greater control over how those sounds interact in various playback systems.
Beyond providing an increased level of realism, Immersive Perspectives also adds storytelling elements to music production. Musicians can place instruments at different points in the mix to influence how their story is told through sound—where each instrument should be placed for maximum impact on both the listener’s ears and emotions. By using this approach, artists can transport their listeners into another world through their music without having them leave the comfort of their own homes.
Conclusion
As you can see, Peace is genuinely an innovative bowed instrument unlike anything else currently available on the market today that has been crafted with meticulous care and precision by master luthier Stamatis Stringaris in collaboration with Audio Brewers & DustBowl Cinematic.
Combining Next Gen Adaptive Polyphonic Legato technology with Voice Movement Awareness ensures that every note sounds crisp and accurate to its intended source – no matter how fast or slow it is played – allowing musicians more creative freedom than ever! Who knew something as simple as a decommissioned missile shell could revolutionize music composition? We did! And now you do too!
