Hi all,
The lively debate on Spitfire’s BBCSO has highlighted a few things for me:
- The library has a number of sampling shortcomings in terms of editing, dynamic layers, etc. It seems unlikely that Spitfire will be able to address these anytime soon (especially if it requires more recording) without re-using existing samples and modifying them, which is not a real solution.
- The cohesion of the library is really nice - no need to spend a ton of time blending instruments recorded in a variety of spaces.
Based on this, I was contemplating if their Symphonic Series (plus their percussion library) would address both things - more in-depth sampling and hopefully fewer issues / inconsistencies and that cohesive sound. For folks that own it, what are your thoughts and reviews?
Berlin is the other option but expensive or wait for CSS to finish the sections. Not a fan of EastWest’s Hollywood Orchestra.
Cheers!
