Description

The Crow Hill Company Glass Strings is the cinematic string library featuring 31 articulations (12 Gestures, 9 Sustains, 10 Shorts), approximately 15 GB of samples recorded with a small quintet from the Scottish Session Orchestra at Assumption Hall in Glasgow, and 3 microphone positions (Close, Wide, Ambient), designed for film composers, media producers, and sound designers seeking expressive human-sounding strings that stand apart from traditional orchestral sample libraries for cinematic scoring, ambient production, and contemporary composition in 2026.

🎛️ What’s Inside

Feature / Module	What It Does	Perfect For
🎻 12 Gesture Articulations	Pre-orchestrated phrases that breathe organic life into compositions with human interpretation and movement.	Cinematic scoring, emotional passages, organic movement, quick composition.
🎵 9 Sustain Articulations	Expressive sustained notes with legato transitions where every note sounds different and individualistic.	Melodic lines, emotional pads, legato passages, long notes, slow scoring.
🥁 10 Short Articulations	Staccato, pizzicato, and other short note techniques with dynamic variation and human character.	Rhythmic passages, percussive strings, fast phrases, action scoring.
🎤 3 Microphone Positions	Close, Wide, and Ambient mic positions that retain balance when switching articulations for consistent mixing.	Mix flexibility, surround mixing, depth control, spatial placement.
🔮 Glass Control	Attenuates fundamental frequency levels to prevent frequency-peaking in larger arrangements with orchestral samples.	Large arrangements, layering with other libraries, preventing mud, clarity.
🏛️ Room Tone and IRs	Natural room ambience parameter plus impulse responses from Assumption Hall recording space for authentic spatial character.	Natural ambience, room matching, authentic space, cohesive sound.
🎚️ Front Panel Controls	Expression, timbre, release time, stereo width, and mic position controls that retain settings across articulation changes.	Quick workflow, consistent sound, live performance, fast composition.
