And then there is Cinematic Studio Series, which i kind of don't know what to think anymore.
#METROPOLIS ARK 1 SERIES#
Berlin seems to offer a lot of instruments and articulations and be a bit more tight and upfront than BBCSO but, comparing current discounted prices, were I to take the whole Berlin Series I could get Jaeger, Nucleus, Solo (should the Nucleus solo instruments not suffice) and even BBCSO Core. BBCSO seems pretty well equipped for a low price but not sure if it will sound good to me in my hands. But I don't know if they have all articulations I need. I am gravitating towards Nucleus as core orchestral library and maybe Jaeger for tight trailer stuff. I think I'll have to carefully go through the list of articulations and instruments of all these libraries and see what covers most of what I need. Interestingly I feel that the percussion sounds too much behind the strings in the Berlin example, while it mixes nicely into the Ark example, as if it was part of that library.
Didn't notice mucg sloppieness in your example either (maybe other instruments compensate), but wished for a little more transient and presence tough. will the timbres emerge gradually from silence, sounding dark and mellow at first to then flow into the bright and powerful sound heard in the demos as I ride the modwheel or will it just sound like a volume fadeout below the spics sound pretty tight in Berlin! For this type of spic-ostinato Ark sound better tough.
I really like the sound (and choice of instruments) in Nucleus, but I can find useful demos only for the mf-ff sound. But it doesn't give me that "wow" effect that the Audio Imperia libraries do, for example. The BBCSO Core demos already sound way better and specially at low dynamics the sounds seem to creep out nicely from the silence, blending with the reverb without drowning in it. I am not sure if it is the BBCSO sound or just the lack of dynamic layers. All the sounds are so distant, blurry and drowned in reverb, it almost makes me squint at my screen hoping to hear some more details in the sound. I do own BBCSO Discover but I hardly get anything useful out of it. To name the two usual suspects, I think what I am after is a product that can handle John Williams style writing while delivering Hans Zimmer sound. It is more about finding tools that inspire me and help me turn my ideas into enjoyable orchestral music productions. And it is so subjective, what might be the selling point of a library for one person could be the turn off for another person.Īnd no, I am not looking for a library to create ultra realistic mockups that would fool an orchestra director into thinking he is listening to a recorded orchestral performance. Really interesting and useful to hear the thoughts of all of you guys on these libraries and describing their qualities.
But people were raving about those then, too. Also never the latest versions, by the way. with seconds and thirds for not giving up, haha. I don't know, I better shut up about it, because I have no respectable experience with it, just some "first impressions", really. I'm only assuming that CSS is geared a bit more toward actual production of a digital/virtual piece of music? Like you are not meant to just take stuff as it is, but put it into your mix? But for that it's really heavy, I think. Then I'm kind of hesitantly claiming that it's unrivaled for that purpose. Something I can appreciate especially for reasons of personal growth in symphonic composition, arrangement and so on. You surrender completely to the "orchestra at hand" and focus entirely on your music. If there's a remote relation to the accessibility of Discover, these must be brilliant to literally just "compose away" and have a beautiful impression of your orchestral imagination, rather than with producing some digital piece of music.

You know, the thing I like about BBCSO is how Discover gets you to loosen up and all I have left is the imagination of how it may be to work with Core or even Pro for that matter. Click to expand.I totally can imagine that, I really do.
