Spitfire Audio Bernard Herrmann Composer Toolkit Orchestral Innovation Inspired By A Legend
Spitfire’s first dry scoring stage ensemble library, inspired by the electric genius of Bernard Herrmann. Renowned for his groundbreaking scores including Citizen Kane, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Psycho, Vertigo and Taxi Driver, his legacy continues to inspire the work of composers today. We’ve worked exclusively with Bernard Herrmann’s estate to curate and assemble a unique set of studio orchestra ensembles, informed directly by the composer’s legendary orchestration aesthetic. Recorded at Studio 1 Air Lyndhurst by Simon Rhodes (Avatar, Grand Budapest Hotel, Spectre, Harry Potter, There Will Be Blood), we’ve captured players performing as Herrmann would have had them – boisterous, lively and upfront, with patches featuring selected groups, unusual instrumental combis, chords, effects and much more. Fire-up this versatile Toolkit for lively and distinctive scoring.
This isn’t an ‘old style’ library. We’ve worked closely with the Herrmann estate to examine his most famous scores and understand what makes his work so special. With that in mind, we set about curating a unique series of recording sessions in order to develop a modern library that captures the levels of vitality that you’d expect from a Herrmann score, but that works across genres/projects. Recorded at Air Studio 1, this toolkit packs an almighty punch; it offers a studio orchestra, combinations such as trumpet and xylophone, trombones and timpani, low strings and horns, harp and vibraphone, plus an ondes Martenot, synths, percussion, timpani and much more.

AUDIO IMPERA JAEGER Jaeger (Essential Modern Orchestra for Kontakt)
Deriving from the German word Jäger, meaning Hunter, JAEGER is the first release in a series of orchestral instruments that will usher you into a new era of modern cinematic music. As composers, we constantly find ourselves chasing that next creative spark, but our short deadlines don’t always allow us the time to let inspiration hit. You have to simply apply fingers to keys and pour the music into your sequencer.
To overcome this, JAEGER was created by a team of industry veterans who set out on this endeavor with two, seemingly, simple goals:
An incredible sound straight out of the box.
An incredibly user-friendly engine and interface.
Before settling on the exact specs for the library, the guys received extensive feedback from a number of highly successful, working composers to ensure no stone was left unturned. The constant pressure and tight deadlines demands for libraries with easy load times and maximum flexibility for a quick workflow.
With all of that in mind, the orchestral parts of JAEGER contain individual sections for strings, brass, and percussion. Though the library is primarily focused on punchy, epic music, it is not just designed to be loud; it is cinematic. JAEGER offers the following:
Separate Sections for Strings: 16 Violins, 10 Violas, 6 Celli, 4 Basses.
Separate Sections for Brass: 3 Trumpets, 6 Horns, 2 Tenor & 2 Bass Trombones, 2 Tubas.
Expansive Percussion Section: Gran Cassa Ensemble, Taikos (Small), Taikos .(Medium), Taikos (Large), Concert Tom Ensemble, Concert Snare (Low) Ensemble, Concert Snare (High) Ensemble, Sticks, Tam Tam, Piatti.
5 stereo microphone positions: Spot, Tree, Wide, Far, Full Mix.
True Legato for Violins, Celli, Trumpets, Horns.
Signature Dual Layer FX Page Kontakt Engine.
Recorded in centered seating positions.
Up to 6 morphing velocity layers.
Up to 9 Round Robin (Random No Repeat).
Dynamic Pure Tuning for Strings & Brass, just like a real orchestra.
Preserved Original Recording Levels.
Non-Distance Compensated Mixes & Distance Compensated Mixes for Percussion, the best of both worlds.
SFX: Hits by Joshua Crispin aka Generdyn.
SFX: Braaams by Paul Ortiz and Bryan Leach.
SFX: Drones by Paul Ortiz.
SFX: Transitions & Granular FX by Bryan Leach .
Vocals by Merethe Soltvedt: Legatos.
Vocals by Merethe Soltvedt: Riser Scales (in Major/Minor and Soft/Loud).
Vocals by Merethe Soltvedt: Phrases (in Major/Minor and Soft/Loud).
In true Audio Imperia fashion, we added more to the library than you’d normally expect. The orchestral sections are complemented by processed percussion mixes (by Decimator Drums producer Martin Hasseldam), an extensive sound design section, and most importantly, an incredibly unique vocal section featuring internationally renowned vocalist Merethe Soltvedt.
Merethe Soltvedt is an award-winning vocalist who has performed for composers such as Jeff Broadbent, Henry Lai, Tom Salta, Ivan Torrent and companies like Brand X, Two Steps From Hell, and Ghostwriter Music. A truly unique and very angelic voice that will add a whole other dimension to your music.
Be the Hunter, Not the Hunted!
