Mute Force

The same virtuosity you've come to expect from the Studio Solo Strings, but with an added dimension: these instruments are played con sordino – with a mute. Players and connoisseurs alike know that this subtle modification transforms the entire dynamic range of the instrument, softening and dampening the sound, while unlocking an entirely new world of tonal possibilities. The reduced transmission of energy from the strings to the instrument’s body reshapes the overtones and harmonics. Not merely quieter, these strings will provide unexpected layers that are equally at home in a traditional classical environment as they are at cinematic scoring where the subdued subtle sordino flavor is often used.

Overview

  • First violin, second violin, viola, cello and bass

  • Soulful, nuanced performances, played with mutes

  • Recorded in the controlled ambience of the Silent Stage

  • Production-ready sound “out of the box”

  • Muted Ambience

    Only specially crafted mutes were for the recordings in order to perfectly fit to the bridge of each instrument, and to achieve a homogeneous sound across all players. The instruments were recorded in our second studio, the Silent Stage, a recording facility with a tight, controlled ambience specifically designed and built for recording samples. The short ambience of this room allows for placement of the instruments in any virtual acoustic environment, from living rooms to concert halls, from the authentic natural rooms provided by Vienna MIR Pro 3D to artificial reverb and delay effects.
