Hey folks,
I just wanted to share our review of Spitfire Audio's latest addition to the Abbey Road Orchestra range: Abbey Road Orchestra: Cellos. We had a chance to check out the Professional edition of the sample library and shared our thoughts about its sound, features, and functions in a comprehensive review.
Below is just an excerpt of the review, you can find the full article on our Epicomposer blog.

As with the previous 1st Violins module, this new sample library ships in 2 editions: Core and Professional. Both editions share similar techniques with the same sampling depth in many common articulations. The main difference between the two – apart from the lower entry price of Core – is that Core has only one mic signal option (Simon Rhodes’ ‘Mix 1’), while Professional offers 16 signal options. The Professional version also includes extra techniques labeled ‘Extended’ and additional legato content.
Since I am reviewing the Professional edition of Abbey Road Orchestra: Cellos today, let’s look at some of its key features:
