Kontakt factory library strings full#

One of my favorite brass libraries for that big sound. The albions also contain synths, extra percussion, loops, and more. Definitely would recommend buying something like Albion One as your first big orchestral sample library.

My favorite ones of these are Albion 3: Iceni which is specifically for that low end and dark orchestral sound, and Albion One for big and bold full orchestra. Fantastic libraries for beginners, but also for professionals. These libraries have great articulations for strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion and sound design. The Albion Series (Spitfire Audio, Kontakt)ĭifferent pricings, but a lot for the money.

Here are some of my favorite all-in-one libraries: Once you buy the section-specific libraries, you’ll get more bespoke articulations for those sections, because the sample developers have spent a lot more time on that specific section.Īpart from the orchestral sections, in several ones of these you also get extra content like organs, synths, ethnic percussion, and more.

Some of the full orchestral libraries have more articulations, and some less. This is what you mostly use as an orchestral composer anyways, so these all-in-one libraries are highly useful.

Con sordino (muted, both brass and strings).

Col legno (hitting the strings with the wood of the bow, percussive sound).

These contain all the standard sections of the orchestra, and have the most basic and fundamental articulations that you need: The absolute perfect starting point for any composer is to go with all-in-one libraries.
