What is surprising as others have mentioned is how good the free BBC Discover library is compared to more expensive options, especially given that all the others reviewed are also ensemble libraries. Spitfire Audio are to be congratulated for making such an excellent resource available to beginner composers such as me. I should also mention what an excellent resource Composing Academy is for people starting out. Many thanks Simon!

Dear Simon, while watching the video, different thoughts come to my mind. The most important aspect is certainly the composition itself, and if you put by side that the track has not been mixed yet, it sounds already incredible - only because of the arrangement. Personally, I mainly work with the mentioned free or inexpensive libraries and this is the first comparison video in which the same midi information is compared within different libraries. Thank you for that. I would have loved to have a video like this as I started out 2 years ago. I think the first 3 tracks differ slightly in their volume and brightness, also due to the missing velocity layers or round robins of the instruments which for me is the point in struggle most to get tracks huge and epic. My favorite here is Albion, but I believe that you could achieve a very good result with the first 3 libraries too, if you spend enough time in layering and threatening the sound way more. I would love to see how the tracks could be further developed or how they were composed step by step. In particular, I think the percussion track is absolutely successful and epic. Thank you so much for your incredible work. Sincerely yours, Michael from SevenTearsOfHope 🤗
@composingacademy82702 жыл бұрын
Hi Michael, yes when I was putting together the video, it really made me realise how important elements such as round robins are. When I listened to just the short strings of the Discover library, the lack of velocity layers and round robins really stuck out. I think the additional long strings, helped to mask that fact a little for the Discover run through! Yes ultimately layering is the best way, using the strengths of each library. I think I'm going to do a video showing how I layered various libraries together, when I originally wrote the piece. Its a section of a longer track, and I'll try to incorporate the step by step composing process I went through with it. Thanks for watching!

The biggest lesson I learned is that a library alone will not make your music sound better. Knowledge is the key to unlock your full potential. I own everything from less expensive libraries like 8dio and Nucleus to the most expensive libraries that Spitfire Audio offers such as Spitfire Symphonic Orchestra Professional. I also own a ton of libraries in between: Spitfire Chamber Strings Pro, Spitfire Studio Orchestra Pro, BBCSO Pro, Hollywood Orchestra Opus Diamond edition, etc. If I had to do it all over again, I would've started with just one do-it-all library (BBCSO Pro) and resisted the urge to buy more until I mastered that one. But those sales prices were just too tempting to pass up so now I have a computer loaded with about 12TB of sample libraries. Many of which I rarely use. I guess I'm set once I finally figure it all out. I just made the mistake of buying everything up front and now it's overwhelming.

Greetings from New Zealand. I watched this video out of interest. Always nice to see what else is out there, and get other people's takes on these libraries. I'm using BBCSO Core. I did get Discover, which I sometimes used when I wanted orchestral sounds in my projects, but for purely orchestral work I knew it wouldn't be up to it. As I see it, Discover is an excellent advertisement for Spitfire's premium products, an advertisement that is actually USEFUL to people, and useful to Music in general. Hats off to Spitfire for producing it. I gravitated to Core last August when Spitfire had a "Summer Sale" (which naturally was in Winter here!) These sales are well worth keeping an eye on, especially if you live in a country like I do that has to deal with currency conversion all the time. Core is a reasonable fit for a hobbyist composer such as myself. I have no need of umpteen mike positions and don't have the computing power to run something like BBCSO Professional, but I DO need individual instruments to be treated as such. It isn't perfect - it lacks things like a Cor Anglais, Bass Clarinet and solo string players, so these have to be added from other sources as needed. But what it HAS given me is my own private orchestra, whose sole job is to play my music, or whatever takes my fancy. Even the likes of Tschaikovsky never had that luxury!

This is a well explained intro. Personally I see it as 'The World of Komplete', but I know not every sample library is for Komplete. BBC Symphony Orchestra is excellent if you want the tradional placement of an orchestra. For media composing however you'll find this is not always necessary,. Having said that, eventually you will learn what instrument is where in a tradional orchestra. The more concerts you see the more you know it out of your memory. In general, for the public: lower sounds on the right, higher sounds on the left. As you can guess, not so nice in media, so low in the mid, high left / right.

It´s Hans Zimmer´s philosophy: he writes music you cannot actually play live as it is (just parts of it and in a Studio). I said I am impressed, because the library I like the most here is Discover! It´s a bit muddy I know, but it has "real" vibe. Originals is very similar, just more "focused" - but to me it has a little less vibe. In Discover the sound is really alive. Really good comparison (from a traditional composer and professional violinist). PS. It would be really great to listen to this comparison without percussion - just long and short notes from Strings and Brass

And here I am, the guy who went out and got the Orchestral Tools Berlin Inspire series first. It's two libraries for about 700 Euros (almost 800 if you bought them separately), mostly focused around ensemble patches with a few solo and special orchestration patches put together. Featuring all the common articulations, a wide assortment of instruments, and all recorded at the Teldex stage, it actually packs a punch, and I still use it to this day even though I got their other products (Metropolis Ark 2, 4, and 5, three of the creative soundpacks, and the chamber strings), they're that versatile. The only downside is you get just one mic position for it. Speaking of OT, I think it's worth mentioning that with their SINE player, one can actually buy parts of some of the libraries. For instance, you don't care for Metropolis Ark's 1 overall sound but like the choir, you can just buy it separately. They also have some free instruments through the SINE factory as well, my personal go to being the jazz band and felt piano. And we can't mention Spitfire without mentioning the LABS. It includes all sorts of free instruments and experimental sounds a person could use in their work. All in all though, I think what's more important here is to think about what kind of sound you want to make. As for myself, I wanted something that could feel big, but wasn't overbearing, and went with the choices I picked after some research and budgeting out for what I wanted.

Hi Arthur, thanks for reaching out. Yes I love how OT offer the option to buy some sounds separately. I'm looking at some of the individual patches in Junkie XL percussion.

You’re so right about the fact that it is you (the composer) who is the most important, not the sample library you use. Albion One I would say, is the best starter library around as you get so much for your money and it is kind of a middle of the road library in terms of its sound. You can make quite gentle music with it but also big epic stuff. Metropolis Ark 1 has a large sound and can only be used for those large, epic scores. But it is a fantastic library!

If I wanted one individual library that can take a whole orchestra, I would go for BBCSO Core (or Pro) or OT's Berlin Orchestra Inspire 1. Albion is good but all the patches are pre-orchestrated. Beginners can like that at the very start but it soon pisses you off when you can not play e.g. basses and celli separately. But IMHO if you are working with the whole orchestra, you should at least know how each section works. Metropolis Ark 1 is great but is focused on large & epic only. At the very least if you want to go with Orchestral Tools' products, get Ark 1 & 2, thare is already a great discount on this bundle and you also get the silent and darked end of the orchestra. And if you really want to use the whole orchestra features, get the whole Ark 1-5 bundle (it is briliant I can tell). Rather than Ark 1 it would be better to present Berlin Orchestra Inspire 1. It is priced same as Albion and it is in the beginner range, also focusing on low RAM and CPU usage, being able to be swiftly used on laptops. Or Berlin Orchestra which is around €849. But I definitely understand you had to use libraries you had and won't spare another almost 900 bucks just for a video! :-)
