David Fanshawe’s Recordings Reimagined for New Generations
If asked to describe Orbis from Spitfire Audio, Sweetwater composers might say, “It’s like having the world at your fingertips.” This is quite an apt description, for Orbis is no mere orchestral library. Based on the recordings of legendary world traveler, audio engineer, and composer David Fanshawe, Orbis offers you over 2,500 extraordinary sounds born out of organic performances from cultures and instruments that no longer exist in some cases. These sounds are then treated and even further augmented in size and scope. Are you a forward-thinking composer or a sound designer looking for rich textures that have never been heard before? You will find what you're looking for inside Orbis from Spitfire Audio.
