![]() I would probably recommend Spitfire’s BBCSO Core or Pro as that is an all-in-one, full orchestral library. I really like the Spitfire sound, but hopefully between EW’s “Hollywood Orchestra” or one of Spitfire’s more expensive packages, something like that exists? Would it really cost $30,000 to ensure I can have all the most common articulations for all the instruments? I’m definitely going to be more focused on strings, but for writing purposes am really mostly looking for “the most control options” even if the sound isn’t the best available, i.e.- I’d really like something where I don’t have to worry that “this one doesn’t have vibrato options” or “this other one doesn’t have Tremolo”. It’s so difficult to choose without direct conversation with others, i.e.- the descriptions from the source don’t help because they use all the same fluff and selling hype for each product, and don’t tell you simply that “this one is geared more toward film, this other one more toward band, this one doesn’t include x” and so on, so thanks for sharing!įor instance, I just found out from another personal comment elsewhere, that Albion One only has ensembles? Really? Wow! I would have spent a lot of money on what seems the wrong choice.Īt the same time, I’m reading that Abbey Road One “doesn’t have legato”? How is that possible? This makes me think that I still don’t know near enough to even understand what’s going on… how could any library options not have legato, the most common way to sound notes? I must be missing something. Lot’s of audio examples out there for all the products- hopefully they will help you in your search. As I’m just beginning to dip my toes into the orchestral pool, it’s deep enough for me. It’s considered a sketchpad, meaning a great way to put down ideas easily and requires less processing and RAM than the more ‘professional’ packages. ![]() Again, very nice strings, less so the brass. Abbey Road (also by spitfire) is a similar package, similarly priced, but with a more cinematic sound to it. But as it sounds like your focus is more with the strings, you might really like albion one. I really like the strings, but for me, none of Spitfire’s offerings have brass with enough oomph. It is a nice, comprehensive package, but not for orchestral work.Īlbion One is very highly regarded as an all-in-one package. First- Kontakt Komplete doesn’t have a full, sampled, orchestral library. Would you kind folks be able to offer your take on which would be best and why? Responses are very much appreciated, thank you. Some suggestions so far have been Spitfire’s “Albion One”, EW’s “Hollywood Orchestra - Opus Edition”, NI’s “Komplete 13 Ultimate”, and Red Room’s “Palette: Symphonic Sketchpad”. Preferably adjustable via MOD / Expression wheels / sliders, but I’m not sure if things like vibrato speed and length can be set for live adjustment like that (I’m new to all this). ![]() ![]() I would like to have something with deep user control (or options) for things like different Tremolo / Vibrato speeds, etc. I’m willing to spend $500-1000 or so on a quality orchestra, but I would want something as “complete” and “all inclusive” as possible, while not suffering in sound quality because of it. I even spent $100 on Steinberg’s Halion Symphonic Orchestra and of the few Tremolo options I see, they don’t even have any perceptible Tremolo effect at all, it’s still just a normal Legato. I’m very poor, but am finding that the “free” VST options just don’t offer what I need for composing.
