Spitfire Audio

I love Spitfire audio. I do. But this product was not fortunate. I've got around 400 plugins installed. Phobos is without a doubt the most unstable piece of software I've ever bought. Most of the time it crashes the whole DAW right away upon load. Not usable at all. It crashes Ableton, it crashes Reaper it crashes Cubase. All tested today with the latest version.

(Installation absolutely standard, with normal default VST3 path, managed by Spitfire's manager.).

Two years back I contacted the support, explained my problem, even tested a few builds they did for me. No luck. I gave up on that plugin and went on with my life with hopes they would fix it meanwhile. Because I saw that they made another collab with BT lately (whom I love), I gave my expansive paperweight of a plugin another try. Re-installed it. Noticed that the version number did not change over those two years (so likely zero development) and yes ... the plugin still crashes.

I'm sad, because I like the idea of convolution synth/library, but nope, it's still unusable. Contacted the support again. I'll try to require refund/product swap again. But no. As of right now I can't recommend this plugin. I'm sorry Spitfire, I love you, but this one is crap, unfortunatelly.

I'll be happy to edit this review when they solve my issue. From the few times the plugin actually run, I really liked what it came out of it. ...before it crashed again.

It's useable in many different styles of music and sound design. The Paper snares just are great for a different, complex sound compared to the normal snare. All of it is so very good. You download the Spitfire app, download the Sound library. Open your DAW and its, It's useable in many different styles of music and sound design.

Also, you get different parameters to control over each patch from reverb amount dynamics attack release distortion etc.

really blow away by how good this is, recommend for anyone looking to explore realistic sounds.

A good collection of great virtual instruments, no obligation to download any you don't want, friendly UI, the number of instruments is continually being expanded, and it's free.

You really can't ask for much more than that.

Beautifully recorded spooky textures, though surprisingly versatile. Well-priced too, certainly cheaper than a real waterphone.
