Vintage Strings Bundle

The golden era of string section sounds

For anyone who knows that the golden era of string section sounds are found on the funk, soul, and disco records of days since past, the Vintage String Bundle which includes Vintage Strings 2 and Vintage Strings is the go-to option to scratch that itch.

• Vintage Strings is a virtual instrument for Kontakt 5 designed to emulate the classic violin string section sounds of R&B, Soul, and Funk records from the 1960's and 1970's. Whether you're an experienced arranger or casual producer, Vintage Strings was designed to make it quick and easy for you to create great sounding string tracks for your productions. Like its sister product, Vintage Horns, Vintage Strings was not designed to be a shiny, perfect sounding virtual instrument. Instead, we tried to capture the way string sections sounded back in the '60s and '70s; including the decidedly not classical playing style and minor imperfections that added character to those sections and made them sound so good.

• Vintage Strings 2 from Funk/Soul Productions and Big Fish Audio is a sequel to the best-selling library Vintage Strings. Back when we recorded the original library, we designed it to emulate the smaller, violin-based string sections used in many 1960s-70s vintage R&B and Soul productions. Now, the all-new Vintage Strings 2 expands on this concept with completely new samples of the larger string sections of that same era which include violas and cellos in addition to the violins. These strings found in vintage R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Pop productions have a more intimate sound than typical orchestral string sections. Vintage Strings 2 brings the authentically lush string sounds of the golden era of popular music to hobbyists and professionals alike.

Trade in your tuxedo for tassels. When virtual instruments with a focus on classical playing don’t quite cut the mustard, what you need is small sections recorded on vintage gear to help you emulate that particular sound!
