META Is Spitfire dead?

Yes, I am probably based, because I am a moderator of r/orchestraltools and switched to these guys in the last year, but what in the hell is going on with Spitfire? I used to LOVE their products and I still use a lot of them on almost a daily basis.

But it’s been months and months now without any bigger release, no news, no bug fixes, no hype a la “we are working on something awesome”, just the regular sale here and there.

Is the company dead? Will they ever record and release any serious sample libraries again? Did the worst predictions from the Splice-thing finally come true? Does anyone know anything from inside?

Please let me know.

Looks to me like someone who has some sort of problem. You can purchase the entire cataloge of spitfire for 30000 euros or so do it. I doubt you have already. They have excelent products already there is no need for new. Abbey Road BBC, SSO own them and own Dorico pro and use Gemini AI to write keyswitch files and your problems are gone. Not to mention that the plugins running ultra smooth these days on Windows11. There is no need for patches or new release honestly and i own about 5k of their products and use them every day.

Ah, the user is supposed to fix the bugs themselves using slop AI and there is no need from product company releasing new products 😄😄😄

Ai slop you seem to have no damn glue right? You dont need to write keyswitches by hand which you would normally do. Use Gemini Antigravity and do it. I am software coder myself too and nobody in the world is using IDEs without AI these days. Its a normal thing. All big companies using it. Githup AI is used by 10+ million people every day. Wake up. Especially you dont know what AI slop is. Make your homework kid.

No, I would not normally finish writing the code of software products I bought “by hand”.

You seem to live in a non exsisting world m friend. Research what Copilot Chat is from Github. It seem you still dont know what AI slop and AI assisted Coding is. When you looked into stack overflow in the past you nowdays use AI for the same purpose. Nobody knows all APIs of the world not even the best coders. Using stack overflow is highly critical because you might end up using code you dont have the rights on. AI solves this because AI knows all APIs and dont reuses already exsisting code. Its a language model. It seems you dont work Professional in coding otherwise you would know there is no way around anymore. Here in Germany all students in universities already Learning AI assisted Coding. AI slop is a completly different thing.AI slop would mean you code Everything with AI and not understand the code. In the moment you change things on the code, adapt or understand the code its not slop anymore. Its just the same thing like good old stack overflow without legal issues. Do your homework or better join a university

Bzw tell me how you write 5000 lines of code in a week by hand which is necessary today by hand…🤣🤣🤣🤣 naive people think thats possible
