Many of you have now received your Steve Lipson mixes downloader emails. If you haven't be sure to drop us a ticket.
As we are using a totally new bespoke shop and downloader app we have had the odd teething issue. And it is with regrets that we have had such a problem on this latest update. We've sent this out to all of our HZ01 users, but I'm re-posting here to try and clarify any confusion caused. With my humble apologies.
Dear HZ01 user,
you may be aware that we released an update to HZ01 last night. However due to a technical error (which has now been fixed) it meant that the original Artist Elements and Stereo Mixes sample content was incorrectly included for some customers. Understandably, we’re sure you do not wish to download all that sample content again so this is what you should do
1 - If your Library Manager has already begun downloading either Artist Elements or Stereo Mixes, then please pause the download, then close down the Library Manager and restart it. The LM will refresh its files list and will now only download the correct update content. The Steve Lipson mixes and additional mics were unaffected by this problem.
You may find, depending how far along with the download you got, that you have some numbered files littered amongst your installation folder. Please wait until the whole update has finished and installed before deleting any of these files that are left.
2 - If you haven’t yet begun downloading the new update, you can simply go ahead and start up the Library Manager and as we have now fixed the issue, the update will download correctly.
3 - If you have completed the entire download or are about to, we’d recommend simply continuing with it and letting it install in the usual way. It will simply overwrite the existing sample content with the same content but you will also have the new updated content correctly installed.
Apologies for any inconvenience,
Spitfire Audio

Hi again,
Just to let you know that we're running final tests on the Additional mics which should be sent out over the next 48 hours. Keep an eye on that inbox!
Best.

Hi everyone,
We are delighted to announce the first update to HZ01 -- taking us to V1.1. In addition, we are releasing the STEREO MIXES section of the library. Links will be going out over the next 48h so please wait before emailing us to request links.
Changes include:
v1.1 (December 2013)
ADDED: New Mic Mixer presets functionality. Copy/Paste mic settings between open patches or save them as NKA presets.
ADDED: Velocity response option to the mixer menu (switch between linear, shelf, exponential and logarithmic).
ADDED: New 'All in one' mega patches containing all HZ01 drums for the relevant artist (CPU performance may differ for each user).
ADDED: Mic set (Artist name) now shown above the mixer on the front panel.
ADDED: New articulation switcher system from the latest BML codebase.
ADDED: Ability to select and layer multiple instruments at once by holding SHIFT when clicking the instrument icon.
FIXED: Issues with stereo collapse. Stereo settings should recall correctly on all patches now.
UPDATE: Performance improvements under the hood.
Here is a video on how to update and a quick look at the update:
All the best!
Paul

Here's the latest walkthrough by Christian. His take on how to use HZ01 to create epic drum patterns:
Here's the MANUAL with exclusive session pictures:

and, here are the first few demos which we hope will illustrate the versatility of this library, the different perspectives and possible applications. All demos are out of the box, Christian's has some Logic effects and automation applied.
All percussion is 100% HZ01.
Hope you enjoy listening -- many more demos to come over the coming days.
All the best!

Hi everyone,
We are very excited to be able to show you a first look at HZ01, and present an exclusive interview with the man himself!
Hope you enjoy watching and we'll be posting more videos with specific detail about the various areas and functionality of the library soon.
We are (as ever!) still having a lot of fun tweaking and fine tuning!
All the best,
C&P
..AND IN ANTICIPATION OF LOTS OF GREAT WALKTHROUGHS AND DEMOS HERE'S AN EXCLUSIVE EXTENDED INTERVIEW WITH PAUL AND CHRISTIAN ABOUT THE GENESIS OF SPITFIRE AUDIO AND COLLABORATING WITH HANS ZIMMER.
ANNOUNCING TODAY!
HZ01 Will be available to download on the 26th Of November 2013.
HZ01 ships in November as over 160GB of compressed content (from over 600GB of mixed and edited WAV data) and the initial release has material from Hans Zimmer, Alan Meyerson, and Geoff Foster.
Two free updates are following with Steve Lipson and Junkie XL’s material. The final library will be north of 200GB of compressed content (from over 700GB of mixed and edited WAV data)
THE PRICE FOR THIS AWESOME HISTORIC COLLECTION WILL BE £399 WHICH WE WILL REDUCE TO £299 FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS WITH AN ADDITIONAL 25% OFF VOUCHER FOR FUTURE PURCHASES.
The library consists of microphone positions, ‘perspective elements’ and full mixes (as detailed below) mixed in stereo and 5.1 by Grammy and Oscar winning engineers and producers: Alan Meyerson, Steve Lipson, Junkie XL, Geoff Foster and Hans Zimmer himself:
When you plug in and play this material you will experience a feeling not dissimilar to strapping into a freshly delivered Aston Martin (albeit with a choice of livery and paint work that you can repeatedly interchange and customise to your heart’s content).
We have recorded the following drums and articulations each with up to 9 round robins and 6 dynamic layers per hit, at Air Studios through the finest microphones, the finest Neve pre-amps into the Neve 88R desk via prism AD converters at 192k (which we have SRC’d to 24bit 48k).
