The 8Dio SQS (Studio Quartet Series) Solo Violin marks a new leap in sampling for us. We recorded one of the greatest solo violinists alive today, a principal violinist of the BBC and other orchestras, ultra-deep-sampled with 88 articulations ranging from true polyphonic legato to a wealth of short-note options, dozens of velocity-based arcs, twelve different Ostinatos, and performance-based articulations. Recorded in a controlled studio environment at Scotland’s Premiere Recording Studio, Gorbals Sound, the Violin was captured in incredible detail and without compromise utilizing two dual-microphone techniques. This combined method allows you to freely blend between a direct signal and a more spacious and ambient position, enabling you to control the positioning and distance of the Violin accurately.
