Short unfinished clip where I used ARK 1 Brass (out of the box sound currently). And VSL's XXL Tam Tam - what a beast!

The best thing about Ark 1 is the choirs. It's unreal how good they sound. They're also easy to use, and they sit perfectly in any mix.
The brass is the second best thing. It just sounds incredible, and there is a lot to choose from!
The only complaint I have with the Ark series is that it can be too wet at times. Once you start stacking instance after instance, you've got a lot of washy reverb bouncing all over the place. It makes it difficult to mix, especially in conjunction with other libs. It's something I always struggle with whenever I use Ark 1 or Ark 3. If you don't like wet libs, Ark is NOT for you! But If you can get passed that hurdle, Ark 1 will serve you well, and will add that kick to the nuts that your compositions may need.
PS. I HATE the guitar!
@Parsifal666 : Come to the dark side... We have room mics.
Like Albion V Tundra...bought it on apex sale. Haven‘t used it once since then...(except from trying it out)I can totally understand that. There is no "must have library" imho, it all depends what you already own, what fits your workflow and general aesthetics.

What kind of music are you planning to write with it? Seeing that it starts at mf and goes up to ffff (or 11 in Spinal Tap vernacular), it wouldn’t be good to use for quieter sections. However, I’m not at trailer composer nor a game composer and I’ve found a ton of use for it when writing in a Mahlerian/Wagnerian/Prokofievian/Shostakovich style. It works splendidly well and I have several custom multis set up for sketching. Both the shorts and longs and beautifully detailed but also full. There are 4Geez, now I can't understand why I've gone so long without lol! Many thanks everyone!
Why not make 10 as loud as 11 and make 10 the loudest?Seeing that it starts at mf and goes up to ffff (or 11 in Spinal Tap vernacular)
