Re: Upcoming library from Spitfire Audio "Albion"

Point #2: Digital can be made to sound like tape. You can record the tape, or you can use a plugin, but one way or another, you can make it sound pretty much identical if you try. This is incorrect. I have also used tape for many years, and then used Protools for many years and I also own most of t...

Re: Upcoming library from Spitfire Audio "Albion"

Its VERY interesting.. We recorded to protools through Prisms at 96k. We split the signals so that one path ran from the preamps to tape (SR etc etc) then off the playback head into Prisms then tools. The other path ran straight into tools through (more) Prisms. So I'm in the odd position of being a...

Re: Upcoming library from Spitfire Audio "Albion"

James, As I'm sure you are aware, the accusation leveled at me was that I was guilty of fraud. Nice that it's finally been removed! And don't panic, just because I characterize being openly and publicly accused of fraud as being "frankly libelous" doesn't mean I have my lawyer on speed dia...

Re: Upcoming library from Spitfire Audio "Albion"

I'm going to post one last time, just to try and clear up (again) some inaccuracies and accusations that have been made. Although firstly, I'd like to ask Shooshie, if you would kindly remove the Debussy flute demo from your server. I'm of course happy for you to post a link, and indeed we have upda...

Re: Upcoming library from Spitfire Audio "Albion"

David, We record everything at 96k through Prism converters (and of course via the superb custom Neve preamps at Air). We simply preferred the sound for Ensemble recording of the 'via Tape' route.

Re: Upcoming library from Spitfire Audio "Albion"

Hi Shooshie,

Yes - please do post your versions of the Debussy with VSL, Wallander and GPO. I'd be very interested to hear what you are hearing and I think this comparison could be enlightening.

Thanks!

Paul

Re: Upcoming library from Spitfire Audio "Albion"

Wow.. Guys, its a free world and you are totally welcome to your opinions on the quality of the Spitfire bespoke libs. But I felt I had to register here to respond to being accused of fraud, "wildly misguided PR", anti-democratic behaviour, "not knowing what time it is", "pe...
