I'm getting back into composing, mostly just as a hobby atm. I need a good all in one orchestral library for Kontakt Player.
I have looked at more or less all of the all in one libraries but I decided to narrow it down to these 2.
I like that BOI is optimised to run on PCs with 8GB RAM (and I have 8GB RAM and an older PC cant really upgrade atm) and I do love the sound of Teldex Studio. The samples sound clean and high quality as I would expect from OT.
Symphonic Sketchpad is cheaper, and still has a good amount of instruments and seems to be drier overall. It still sounds pretty good to me when it comes to the samples.
Now I haven't seen too many review videos on these 2 libraries, but from the few I checked out they both seem like very good libraries for the money.
NOTE: I can use an EDU discount on either of the 2 libraries. This would make BOI 299 EUR and Symphonic Sketchpad around 225 USD (around 200 EUR I guess).
If anyone has 1 or even better both of these and could tell me their experiences with using them as a main library for an orchestral composition, that would be great
And yes I am aware of the limitation of all-in-one libraries in comparison to something like EW Hollywood Orchestra/EW CC or other libraries with individual instruments. I just want something that is fast and intuitive to use and not too intensive on resources.
