I have around £800 to play with but I want to invest in a new audio interface for around £200, I did also want to replace my recently broken headphones with some very nice Sennheisers, but that will have to wait as I desperately need some new orchestral samples to get writing (plus I have my monitors still). Well to be honest, I’m not exactly sure on my budget haha. Thanks so much for your extensive reply Gareth Play’s problem is it’s interface, there’s a lot of wasted space (for fancy graphics) and it’s just not as user-friendly as the other sample players have become. I do use some PLAY libraries, but I find Kontakt 5 and Engine 2 to be far superior to work with. There are many alternatives, but I’d recommend starting off with Spitfire stuff, and expanding from there. French Horn is from Project Sam’s libraries, low brass is from Spitfire. The main string line is from 8Dio’s Adagio, supporting strings are from Albion. Here is a track which uses only the libraries I’ve mentioned above and was thrown together pretty quickly.

(Finally, an alternative for strings is LA Scoring Strings, or 8Dio’s fantastic Adagio series which gets better upon each new release. I would suggest not buying too much at first, start simple and then add little by little, because you HAVE to take the time to learn your new libraries. I don’t own this library (because I own Symphobia 1/2/3) but ProjectSAM’s libraries are all pretty great, and the majority of the material in this library is taken from their Symphobia Series. You WILL be covered if you want to do orchestral scoring.Īn alternative, which is also a good starting point, and I’m sure a lot of people here will recommend is ProjectSAM Orchestral Essentials

Their samples feel a bit more ‘alive’ than other libraries, and I feel like it’s easier to capture emotions with them.Īlbion/Loegria covers both epic and intimate scoring, and covers all sections of the orchestra with a decent set of articulations. They are great samples, recorded at Air Lyndhurst (one of the great rooms in film scoring) - and Spitfire’s customer support is first class. Hollywood Strings is amazing but if you want bang for your buck and are looking to cover the whole orchestra, I would look at getting Spitfire Albion and Spitfire Loegria. BTW, be prepared for a lot of answers, because everyone has their own opinion on this.
