Four stars because of the quality of the product. I have just updated from a 12 year old iMac to a new Mac 4 Studio - quite a shock and lots of problems. I seem to have lost all of my Labs plug-ins, b... See more

Easy download to external ssd. Recent upgrade to fibre-to-the-home reads around 70 Mbps on Speedtest, though much of the download was at 125 to 140 Mbps. Spitfire software estimated 6 hours, but it ac... See more

Sounds great, plenty of timbres and articulations, easy to play, blend and mix, as well. Dry enough, probably chamber libraries make even more sense to look for, when strong upfront sound in dense mix... See more

Originals series is brilliant value…

The Spitfire Original's series is great for me as a budget conscious non-professional musician. Authentic sampled sound, very usable and great for the low price. I’ve got several now. Janglebox Piano is just as expected. A vintage classic. Recommended.

Very confusing purchase experience.

I have so many unanswered questions. I still have not been able to properly download and use this purchase. Very frustrating. I'm a professional composer and own hundreds of VI's. Here are some of the questions not made clear to me at the time of purchase...
1. Is this a Spitfire Labs product?
2. What engine does it work in?
3. Does it require a host like Kontakt?
4. Do I need a Splice subscription to use it?

Downloading recent Splice free sounds

I enjoy the free sounds that are provided on a regular basis, and it allows me to use some different sounds. Hopefully in the future, there won't be the need to link accounts as that would be my only suggestion. Keep the sounds coming!

Where is my plugin?

I still have no idea how to get the Cimbalom plugin to work. 'Way too many plugins within plugins. Please explain it for Digial Performer owners.

I was not able to use your system

I was not able to use your system for downloading and using software. It didn't appear to be working properly. After multiple efforts and a lot of frustration, I finally quit. Splice, when I figured out how to use it, did not have my purchase in it, and I couldn't see any options for finding it. Overall, it was probably the worst experience I've had with purchasing sounds.

SCAMMERS! Won't let you cancel!

Absolutely fuming! I tried their product and wasn't impressed, so I cancelled my subscription with them and they continued to charge me for A YEAR! I didn't notice because it was a paypal payment and I use it for most things, so it got buried in the noise.

I found out what they had done and got in touch. They then told me I 'had access' to it for the year (since they hadn't processed the cancellation) and that therefore they couldn't refund me the money, but offered a few month's worth of subs instead.

I politely pointed out that I'd cancelled and it was clear I hadn't tried to use it since, so their offer wasn't fair and they ghosted me. I wrote another email and then got an email saying "since you haven't responded, we're closing this issue in 48 hours" - I wrote back, "I have responded! see previous mail" (and then sent another two follow-up mails containing the email exchange). But they still haven't responded to my emails after 2 weeks.

CRIMINAL SCAMMERS! Absolute rip-off merchants. AVOID!!!

I can't respond to their response, so I'll put it here. NICO: I did not access, load, login, listen to or otherwise 'use' your product since I cancelled a year ago. I've said this in email and also on my review just now. Do you read them? or is this just another automated response? Be honest.

EDIT: OK, so there it looks like there is no one called Josie or Jules at your company and you still haven't responded to me, despite what you've said below. I got a response saying "Yes, I'm here, how can I help?" when asking for a response to my emails. This is such a wind-up and any support contact should be clearly marked as automated/AI.

Hi Toby, sorry to hear about your experience. I appreciate the frustration with finding out you had been paying for this subscription when you didn't intend to, but I wanted to clarify that a subscription only continues if it's active — as soon as it's cancelled, billing stops.

To clarify, the message you received is an automated one from our support portal, all you need to do is reply to that message to keep the case open, which you have done.

I will continue communicating with you there directly via email.

Will never buy off Spitfire again

Will never buy off Spitfire again. Now you have gone with splice I can't even access my new product to play. I find the splice website and app to complicated and trying to make me subscribe when I prefer buying outright. Splice is rubbish, I'm out..

Hi Adrian, I'm sorry to hear that. There is no need to subscribe in order to access a product you purchased as a perpetual license.

I've reached out directly via email to clarify further.
