Completing your collection.

Areia completes what we started with Jaeger and Nucleus, our two flagship, award-winning products. It adds more than 10 new articulations to expand your string pallet for maximum expression.

Real Con Sordino.

Nothing beats the nuances and subtleties of real Con Sordino samples. Con Sordino was recorded for Sustained for all the instrument sections, in three dynamics, vibrato and non-vibrato. Additionally, emulated Con Sordino is offered for the rest of the articulations.
  

Two types of phrase-sourced Spiccatos.

We recorded two types of spiccato phrases: Slow and Fast repetitions, and then we built multi-samples out of them. The result: the most realistic and playable spiccatos you will ever try.
 

Industry-leading Measured Tremolo.

For the first time in a strings sample library, you can play Measured Tremolo at any tempo, without any time-stretching. Either sequenced or as playable multi-samples. And we didn't stop there: you can also add accents in sequenced mode, and save/load accent presets.
 

Recorded with Capellen Music Production.

A magnificent set of players, an incredibly balanced room, state of the art equipment, and an exceptional team of sound engineers. Mix all of that together and you get the authentic sound of Hollywood. Right at your fingertips.
 

Our signature Sound Design.

In true Audio Imperia style, we provide you with some really unique sound design elements to enhance your experience with the library.

Introducing Performance Patches.

Sometimes you just need to sketch out ideas quickly, and while key-switching is a great tool for expression, it can be quite time-consuming. That is where our Performance Patches come in. 
 

Technical perfection.

High standards of quality - that is the base of our foundation. All of our sample libraries are meticulously handcrafted, and every single sample is treated like a gem: carefully polished to bring out all their brilliance. This ensures you a buttery-smooth experience when making music. Carefully synced sample-starts and standardized pre-pads ensure that your performances will never be out of sync, while ensuring maximum realism.
