Honestly, as an orchestra violin player, Nucleus was the one who convinced me the most as beeing close to real instruments. At least the strings, as that's what I'm more familiar to know what it sound like. You can even hear the open E strings in the final section in the 3rd bar/chord. I think little details like this, are what make Orchestral VST's more convincing, so congratulations to the people who did Nexus! All the others have done some nice job aswell, I can't even imagine how hard is doing something like this. What makes a real orchestra sound real, it's the humans and their different behaviours, so "humanizing" something like this must be everything except easy.

I'm still using instruments and effects from 5 years ago. $30/mo over 5 years will set you back $1800 and you'll still have nothing if you decide to stop paying, which makes $450 seem like a steal in comparison. The subscription model is terrible unless it's a product that evolves enough that old versions are obsolete, like Photoshop. Maybe you could make a case for Ableton or even a plugin that stays on the cutting edge like Ozone or Melodyne. But this is not one of those cases.

Subscription model for software in general is just a scheme to milk customers for more money that when they outright buy and own their software. Anyone wants money for nothing and when they can get away with that they will do it. Here's the example from gaming industry - in old times you were paying full price for the full game, when that game was becoming older it was usually sold cheaper. Sometimes expansions of significant size were released for prices ranging from 1/20 of original game price to the full price if the expansion is pretty much the same in content value as original game. When internet became faster they started to release unfinished games at full price then adding smaller content as "DLCs" for smaller prices. Which sometimes was just crazy - main game $60 with... $4000 in DLCs and all of those were like unlockable content in older offline games. Then they went even further - splitting the game to slices from the very beginning, already completed game just to sell it for like $60 +$25 +$15 +$15 + $15 + $15 - why the hell not instead of getting just $60 for the same work, when you can do it legally? When they saw that customer base accepted that they went full on greed mode. Added microtransactions and casino-like elements with real money from free-to-play games to full price games. That's where they kinda got some backlash at government level. But they were exploiting customers like this for more than 15 years already and continuing to do so, just a tiny bit more carefully. Same happens with subscription model in professional software. You let them to touch your finger and a little later they will chop your arm off... Also that Photoshop example isn't exactly correct. Not everyone wants more functionality, improved functionality at the price of paying much more for the software and even more for PC upgrade. There's enough users which use such advanced software as a tool like hammer - to do a set of specific tasks and once they get software/hardware combination that does the job well they don't need to upgrade - industrial approach aka "if it ain't broke - don't fix it" And Adobe knows that well. Thats why they went as far as to send threatening legal letters to people continuing using older software, promising legal actions if they won't upgrade etc. Caused a huge backlash and made themselves a laughing stock pretty much. I'm not saying that there's no place for subscription in software. LIbraries and databases for example, like law databases - those need to be constantly updated and it's obvious that you should pay people for doing that. Upgrades to sample libraries in the form where you do own base version and subscribe for updates and additional content and once your subscription is expired you end with last version at the moment and won't get anything newer till you'll subscribe again. Those cases are obviously reasonable and absolutely acceptable. But paying just for some software when at the first glance it looks cheaper but in 2-10 years you pay 5 times more than you'll spend if you'll just buy it with no other options - isn't.

Context... Sure, you can make incredible music using only free tools. Sure, nice, polished tools will save lots of time and frustration, but when it comes down to it, it's about skill and effort. But, if you specifically want a realistic orchestral sound, you're simply going to need quality samples, or an actual orchestra. That said, if your time is worth anything, squeezing great sound out of inferior tools is not a good option for a limited budget...

This video really helps for comparisons, and I’m sure some comments have already said this, but a free sample library’s faults does only show further when the arrangement wasn’t made with those samples in mind.

In my opinion, the EW Composer Cloud is not as worth it as it seems to be. It's better to pick up the actual instruments and pay full price, cause think of this, the EW CC doesn't have instruments you will use regularly. You will probably only use Hollywood Brass. If you pay 30$ for a year, you would have spent 360$ on something that you won't even use regularly. My advice is probably put 30$ in a piggy bank and spend it on a great library when you have enough.

If you try to layer different free libaries, and pull them through a good reverb, you can actually make them sound pretty good

Hi Alex, thanks for this comparison! Would have liked to see Spitfire Albion One and Vienna Symphonic Librairy (Vienna Smart Orchestra) in there too. Just to see if it is a good match with the others. I understand you might not have access or time to test all librairies. Nice stuff though. Keep it up!
@aidan-forte4 жыл бұрын
Albion One is great for starters, but it is all Ensembles so you can't program each section individually limiting you in the future. I would also say that it sounds very synthy, but if you are making epic trailer music like this guy then its perfect!

@AlexMoukala4 жыл бұрын
Haha, spot on. Literally anyone can download and put OTT on their master though, plus use some basic mastering plugins to make everything louder. What I tried NOT to do here are all the things beginners wouldn't be able to. Proper mixing, realism, good orchestration etc.
@boimesa81904 жыл бұрын
Alex Moukala it of beginners have NO IDEA what OTT is, let alone how to use multiband compression... Unless u just literally left OTT unchanged, which is pretty... *Cough

Some effects and anything can sound good, even free libraries they can even sound better then paid ones, so in my opinion don't pay for any libraries just develop techniques

If someone jwants to get their feet wet with string arranging, Cakewalk by BandLab, which is freeware, comes with a decent little 64-bit string section VSTi that can also be used outside Cakewalk in other DAW's. To get it, you need to select "Install Extras" from the BandLab Assistant download manager

The lesson of the day: you get what you pay for! Couple of possible exceptions are the free version of BBC Orchestra, and the new very inexpensive Spitfire Originals. That last is sold as $29 per section and is lacking in some areas but it’s worth checking out
