Abbey Road One: Orchestral Foundations offers a carrefully curated collection of orchestral instruments that form the backbone of any cinematic or classical score. Recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, this library delivers the natural warmth and dynamic range of a live orchestra, covering essential sections such as strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. With an intuitive interface and seamless Kontakt integration, it enables you to quickly craft authentic, emotionally resonant arrangements that serve as the foundation for your musical storytelling.

Enter the room most composers can only dream of: Studio One at Abbey Road. Unparalleled and exclusive access to the world’s most celebrated recording location for movie music — from Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, to Harry Potter and Avengers: Endgame — it doesn’t get more iconic.

In our first collaboration with Abbey Road Studios, we recorded a complete 90–piece symphonic orchestra the same way your favourite composer would: unmistakable acoustics, exceptional players, award-winning sound engineers and priceless microphones. Strings, brass and woodwinds are grouped into ensembles for instant playability, completed by an exciting cinematic percussion section, all housed in our award-winning dedicated plug-in.

At Spitfire Audio, our approach is to always record sample libraries in the same way that film scores are recorded, and this release is no exception. Abbey Road One puts the same first-call musicians used on globally-successful movies at your fingertips – a 90-piece symphonic orchestra playing priceless instruments, all recorded by multi GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer Simon Rhodes (Avatar, Hugo, Harry Potter) and the legendary Abbey Road equipment.

Perfect for writing orchestral film, TV and game scores, Abbey Road One gives you all four sections of the orchestra in a single library – strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion — capturing the key set of orchestral sounds that composers use the most.

The library comprises strings (16, 14, 12, 10, 8), brass (four horns, four trumpets, three trombones, two bass trombones, one contrabass trombone, one tuba, and one contrabass tuba); and woodwinds (piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, one cor anglais, two clarinets, one bass clarinet, two bassoons, and one contrabass bassoon); and percussion, performed by three players on a stunning selection of instruments.
