IN-DEPTH WALKTHROUGH
CONTEXTUAL DEMO 1
Odeon Chamber Strings was recorded in a spacious 2,000 sq ft room, capturing the grandeur and depth of a true orchestral environment. Embracing the classic orchestral layout, every section was positioned in their traditional stage placements, allowing for natural ensemble interaction and spatial realism. A rich array of microphones—including the iconic Decca Tree, outriggers, close, and ambient mics—were meticulously arranged to deliver a flexible, mix-ready sound that feels both cinematic and alive. Whether you're after wide, lush textures or intimate detail, this setup brings you the full spectrum of orchestral depth right out of the box.
