Spitfire Audio Abbey Road One: Vibrant Reeds

The Iconic Sound of Cinema

Add brilliance and color to your themes with this set of masterful performances captured in Abbey Road's legendary Studio One.

Featuring London's first-call session players, Vibrant Reeds offers dazzling oboes and clarinets as well as the evocative pairing of oboes and cor anglais, a classic cinematic sound heard on countless scores.

With essential and unique techniques such as longs, staccatos, mordents, and Spitfire's new easy-to-use legato patches, you have everything you need to create scores ready for the big screen.

Striking Brilliance

Vibrant Reeds beautifully captures expressive performances of two oboes and two clarinets, a pure and pristine sound orchestrated in the traditional octave spacing, along with an additional pairing of two oboes with cor anglais for a truly evocative sound heard throughout Hollywood film scores such as E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial, Harry Potter, and Total Recall.

As a commonly heard orchestral blend of woodwinds, Vibrant Reeds includes an array of techniques, including legato, long, staccato, as well as major and minor mordents, allowing you to focus on writing expressive themes and melodies while quickly creating an instantly recognizable and cinematic sound in high quality.

Performed in the unmistakable acoustics of Abbey Road's Studio One, Vibrant Reeds further enriches the available offerings in the Abbey Road One orchestral range.

Abbey Road Studio One

Enter the room most composers can only dream of - Abbey Road's Studio One.

Considered one of the finest acoustical spaces in the world, Studio One's history has an indelible connection with the scores recorded there, providing emotion, mood, and magic for many of the most renowned and successful films ever made.

Such classics as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Avengers: Endgame, all were recorded in Studio One.

With its rich tonality and famed reverb, Studio One's sound is widescreen and epic.

Truly, it is the iconic sound of cinema.

Vibrant Reeds, and indeed all of the Abbey Road One Selections, puts the same first-call musicians that play on globally successful movies at your fingertips, all recorded by multi GRAMMY Award-winning engineer Simon Rhodes (Avatar, Hugo, Harry Potter) and featuring the legendary Abbey Road microphones and outboard gear.

Expanding on Abbey Road One: Orchestral Foundations, a 90-piece symphonic orchestra that was our first partnership with Abbey Road Studios, Vibrant Reeds is a fully-fledged, stand-alone library.

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.
