Never fails to inspire

DAW doesn't matter, just use the one you're most proficient in

He doesn't pan :)

GJR Plato they do have separate instruments

+Dervish Capkiner You'll def need the Native Instruments Kontakt 5 to use almost every sample instrument made in recent memory..including Albion, which is what your hearing him play on here within Kontakt. Most of the best sample libraries require Kontakt to be able to use them. I'd say Komplete 10 is a MUST. I think Kontakt alone costs $199 if you buy it alone. Tho if you have zero interest in learning any kind of synthesis and only want to mess with sample instruments within Kontakt I'd just buy Kontakt. But if you think you'll use ANYTHING else Komplete is a steal.

+Dereck Dunn Hey man thanks for the reply and yes of course I'll get KONTACT but I'm looking for ---- solo brass, winds and strings to maybe use with either albion or syphobia and action hits. I don't need too much of the processing stuff right now - any thoughts anyone it would be much appreciated?? thank you

I'm not much into producing Orchestral stuff so I don't feel comfortable giving advice. That being said....I've heard great things about the East/West libraries. And from personal experience I can tell you Omnisphere 2 is AMAZING at everything from vocal choir sounds, synths, strings, brass, to crazy psycoacoustic sounds....but it's a high $ instrument by itself. Can't say enough about Omisphere. Other than that I just use the stock NI Session strings and Brass in Kontakt if I need orchestral sounds. But mainly I'll use Omnisphere.

+Dereck Dunn East West Libraries are great, but not for everyone. the Play engine is a nuisance to deal with, and while East West libraries do sound great, they take a lot of programming and attention to detail in order to get them sounding remotely convincing. they are a good price (you can actually get the entire collection of east west products for a 30 dollar per month subscription service now) but keep in mind it takes quite a good computer to get the most out of their products. I personally would recommend Albion ONE, komplete ultimate, and for a choir library, strezov sampling storm choir 2 is absolutely incredible, the full package is definitely worth it and id highly recommend it. i will warn you though, it isnt always wise to go ahead and buy a ton of libraries in bulk. Komplete Ultimate is worth getting, but i wouldnt go ahead and get all of the Albions right off the bat. start with Albion ONE, see how you like it, and then you can complete the bundle. Spitfire allows you to complete the bundle if you already own one of the products, so you can still get the other libraries at a discounted price. I bought Albion 1 (the original) two years ago and at first i was not really a big fan, but it grew on me over time. I think if i bought all of them at once i wouldve been a bit overwhelmed, and a part of me thinks i would feel a bit dissapointed. thats a lot of money to drop all at once on products you havent used before, and if you really dont like one of them, theres a bigger chance you wont like all of them, and you just blew 1000 dollars. also, i would consider waiting a little on komplete ultimate and find out when komplete ultimate 11 comes out. 10 wasnt a big upgrade from 9, but seeing the new products that NI has been putting out in the past year and future releases, there is going to be a lot of new stuff coming in the next version of komplete.

Hi SymTIK, thanks so much for your great reply and advice, I really appreciate it. I made a purchase about three weeks ago and bought the full KOMPLETE player only as it was half price and I bought the cinesamples CORE package which has core BRASS, STRINGS, WINDS and PERCUSSION. I bought it as it looked simple, no fuss , good quality and no too many overwhelming things. However............I have been trying to get the download to work for three weeks now and they are terrible at getting back to me. I haven't even been able to use it yet and I bought it at the end of November so I'm starting to regret my purchase even though I thought it was the perfect thing for me to orchestrate classical music. Anyway, I really like 8dio and spitfire and I'm a music teacher and am eligeble for a discount so think I might be investing in them in the future........

+laaarsas Would really appreciate an answer :)

The screen shows Berlin percussion, but I'm not sure whether it's being used.

+Michael Lauer Yea saw that but thought it sounded like HZ drum library but wasnt sure.

+Andy Hargrave Music He used Hybrid Two Project BRAVO

He didnt use albion percussion in this track. 1:20:27

What Percussion Library do you guys recommend for Epic tracks? I use Drums of War 2 but i dont know if this Library is very worse than other like HZ..

+Anthony Liu Albion ;)

You only used Albion One for the whole track?

Apart from the piano and the choir, everything can be done with Albion One. For choir he probably used something like 8Dio Requiem or something like that.

+Zwei-Musik Probably The Gentleman.

He doesnt repy to people, regarding your question, it isnt what you use it is how you use it

It's thousands of dollars when you add it up, but accumulating libraries overtime helps spread out the cost a bit.

+coprhead6 Probably Albion for your situation.

if you want maximum control over parts, the best option is neither of those. I would get EWQL Complete Composer Cloud for 30 dollars a month. it includes access to every single one of their gold series products, giving you access to their Hollywood Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, Percession, Solo Violin, Solo Cello, Solo Harp, and all of their other products. its a phenomenal deal. I own Albion One as well, and although it is phenomenal, it is designed for Film Composition. This means that it is not so much focused around realism and full orchestra control, and is more focused on getting that instant, film ready sound. I use it more for its percussion and steam synth more than I actually use the orchestra content tbh, the strings sound way too synthetic for my taste, the original Albion sounded better. i would also like to mention that the Complete Composer Cloud can be cancelled at any time, so if you find you dont like it or its too much to pay for, you can cancel when you want and at the next payment period, you will not be charged and the products licenses wont be renewed. You also dont need to download every product, you can download what you want, when you want. the installation engine lets you choose what products are currently installed on your computer

Albion One has it all... Strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, pads, drones and many hybrid sounds made from the original orchestral instruments. Really good value for your money.

8Dio Requiem Pro

Think it could be Korg nanokontrol?

He's doing it on ableton which is available on windows

+eric wagley Requiem mostly.

+Daniel James Requiem? by who? can you do a tutorial on using choirs?

+eric wagley I'm pretty sure it's Requiem Pro by 8Dio

so....11months later?

subtenko I've acquired so many more libraries since then it doesn't even matter anymore. and I never did get Albion 1 don't need it.

***** lol fastest reply to an od comment ive seen. Im debating on projectSAM OE:1 vs Albion ONE vs Kir hunter virtuoso ensembles. I have orchestra stuff from komplete 10 but they dont offer exactly the rich sound from these vst's. You know anything about the other two I mention by any chance?

subtenko ppl are half and half on Albion one. some like it alot, some say you can do better. I have OE 2 and like it alot. I've read good things about OE 1.

***** Thanks. Some dude said OE 1 is like bread and butter and OE2 is like Jam. OE2 certainly has some interesting sounds.

If you own the Native Instruments Kontakt plugin, and it runs on your operating system, Albion One will as well. I am 99% sure Native Instruments Kontakt is compatible with Windows XP. www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/samplers/kontakt-5/
