intimate compositions.

Add color and precision


Recorded in situ, the First Chairs—first violin, second violin, viola, cello,
double bass—shine out as lead instruments to lend extra definition and expressive
character to Berlin Strings, Berlin Strings Special Bows, or Metropolis Ark.



Make use of each instrument’s full natural range, explore multiple dynamic layers and mic positions,
and delve into a complete library of articulations, sustain styles, and legato transitions.



Layered atop a larger ensemble, First Chairs add three-dimensional relief. And used on their own,
these first-rate principals gel beautifully as a revelatory chamber ensemble.

Mic merging
Preserve your system resources: Fine-tune your mix using multiple mic positions, then merge into a single channel within the player.
