Hi!
I'm often intrigued to work with highly limited libraries to see if I can make anything good with them, in this case the semi-free Discover edition of the BBC Orchestra. Judge for yourself it that worked in this case.
I'm not a fan of it at all, considering the price tag is 49$ (or free with Survey and thus time payment).
No Round Robins, Dynamic layers, one sample stretched across 6 keys (harp only has 1 every 12 keys which is nuts) and so on..
Good for absolute beginners with zero decent orchestral sounds but still not for 49$. I recommend anyone, beginner or not, not to drop the money and if there is any interested to get it via the survey.
I'm using the strengths of the library (long notes, shorts without same-not-repetitions to avoid machine gun effect). There is not much you can do and not go crazy, but this one worked decently. Also, the instruments are masking each others flaws. If I'd solo some of them it would be kinda cringey.
Since I'm a slow writer I'm also rather happy what I came up with in only about 45 minutes. :D
Everything is almost out of the box. A bit of panning here and there, some verb and the most tiny EQ cut and boost here and there.
Unmixed in my book, so please don't judge the production.
