It basically depends on what you alrdeay have. Do you own another Brass or percussion library?
Orchestral brass classic is still surprisingly quite great compared to what's being produced nowadays. It's in my template and one of my main brass ensemble sounds. I like using it with Iceni Low Brass to add more grit but it's alrdeay totally great on its own!
True strike is also a very good library if you don't already own percussion samples. Otherwise it can be redundant.
Personnaly, since I already have both of these libraries, I would buy Swing with your voucher to add a jazzy touch to one of my templates.

Jono,
I'm in the market for an orchestral library, and I have been looking at both Symphobia 1 and Albion ONE for my first library. Any recommendations on which way to go? I will mainly be using the library for film and TV writing.
Thanks!

Hi Mark
Firstly, both are very good libraries and are more flexible than I first thought. If you're going for one of the two, I'd recommend Symphobia first given your intended use. The multis are particularly useful for writing quickly and are arranged by theme- action, suspense etc.

If I had a €100 voucher I would get Lumina because I'm going to be doing music that requires just that type of library. Watch Guy Rowland's highly entertaining videos on Lumina.
But from what you say you have for example, Symphobia and Albion One. Either are great sounding but they are BIG.
A lot of the time BIG sounding string sections etc are not required. Smaller sections are needed so unless you don't have it, I would certainly look to Sable, probably one of the most useful libraries on the planet if you're doing less big sounding music.
Or, with the voucher I would certainly look at VirHarmonic's Bohemian Solo violin. One of the best sounding solo violins available and currently under further development.
