Orquestral sample libraries.

[Lord Lurion]

Hi guys! I'd like to know what you guys recomend for orquestral sample libraries/plugins. I'm wanting to do some orquestral arrangements and the Reason samples don't quite cut (especially the brass section).

Thanks a bunch!

If you like hollywwod style sound, EW Quantum Leap Orcherstra is a nice piece.
Other than that, the up coming Vienna Symphonic Library Orchestral Cube seems to be good.

How about edirol orchestra, thats pretty good!

 

[Kenny Lee]

Yes...... East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra's are great!
Take a look at THIS ONE TOO!!!

kev: Edirol Orchestral does indeed sound good but technically aren't samples. It's more of a Orchestra synth. Good none the less.

If you have the cash, time, and RAM, go for east west gold.. i have it, and it's the best i have heard so far..

However, i do use edirol a bit more for now on my songs.. i just love how easy it works, it uses way less RAM, and almost sound just as good..

gold sounds better, edirol works better..

Garritan is awesome especially for the price. I know a bunch of film composers who use it.

I guess technically it's not a sample library though...

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

The best orchestral sample library is VSL (Vienna Symphonic Library), period.

Not in the same league quality-wise and price-wise though...

 

[Tym_ex]

Huh? Edirol sucks ass imho.

 

[A Gruesome Discovery]

The best in the lower price range would be either EastWest Quantum Leap Symphony Orchestra or Garritan Personal Orchestra. EWQLSO has better ensemble patches and interface, but GPO has the best solo instruments. However, you really can't go wrong either way. The upgrade path to Gold and Platinum may make EWQLSO Silver the best value though.
Of course VSL is tops, if you've got a few grand and a few spare hard drives.

My band has been using the East West Silver package for our album and it sounds great. I highly recommend it.
