The iconic sound of cinema
Enter the room most composers can only dream of—Abbey Road’s Studio One. Considered one of the finest acoustic 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. Classics such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Avengers: Endgame, were all recorded in Studio One. With its rich tonality and famed reverb, Studio One’s sound is widescreen and epic. It is truly the iconic sound of cinema.
Thematic Trumpets and 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.
This library was recorded in precisely the way the classic era scores were arranged and performed. The tone is rich, strong and declamatory — without being piercing.

FAQs
Do I need to own Abbey Road One: Orchestral Foundations to buy this library?
No, this library will act as a stand alone library, opening up inside the Abbey Road One plug-in. But if you were to own Abbey Road One Orchestral Foundations, it will work seamlessly together.
How does your dedicated plug-in work?
Our dedicated plug-in libraries work as standalone instruments in your DAW, meaning that no serial number is provided and the authorisation process happens during your download. We provide an AU, VST2, VST3 and an AAX, so as long as your chosen DAW supports one of those plug-in formats, you’re good to go.
I own Orchestral Foundations, how do I install a Selection?
From our Spitfire Audio App, you install the selections into your pre existing Spitfire Audio - Abbey Road ONE folder. For those that do not own orchestral foundations, a selection is installed to your samples drive like any other product. Should you then install Orchestral Foundations or another selection later, these get installed to your now pre existing Spitfire Audio - Abbey Road ONE folder.
