i dont think this is really aimed at anyone that owns SSO. it's made from SSO recordings so you can just make this yourself by loading the legatos into a multi
@@haydenstulen3422 Project Sam's big band is going to be hard to match for Spitfire. It's got a drum kit, strings, pre-set chords in some sections and the player is feature rich. The best thing about Project Sam is the unwavering devotion to its customers. They update and improve all of their products. You can't go wrong with them. Mr. Shlinlerder... no need to wait for a product that is already out there. :)
I have bought this and it's fab. I just wished that in the 'Orchestra' patch they ditched the annoying Xylophone, what were you guys thinking? Apart from that, brilliant. Can we have an update asap please Paul? Ditch the Xylophone please.
Normally reviews by influencers start popping up a few hours after the premiere already. Now (Monday evening)? Nothing. Rien. Nichts. Nada. Unless I missed something?
My question is, what would be the difference between adding the individual instruments together in lets say the BBC Orchestra compared to these? Would it make a difference in sound? I'm Genuinely curious.
I'm just a casual hobbyist dabbling in digital composition so sorry if this doesn't answer your question fully. In general, a library like this with multiple instruments on a single patch will allow you less control over individual instruments. However, it has the benefit of - being less resource intensive (RAM, CPU, storage space) by orders of magnitude - less customization = less time bogged down in the details, really good for quick sketching and concepts - *much* cheaper than a full orchestra with individual instruments - more accessible to hobbyists, students, and entry-level folks (in part because of the above three points) With individual instruments, you get finer control over the sound each instrument produces, and this usually sounds more "realistic" if that's what you're going for. Especially if you are using a specific instrument for its specific sound, you wouldn't use a patch because other instrument sounds would blend in (e.g. if you want a french horn solo, using a full brass patch will probably mix in some trombone and trumpet). Typically, these are for more advanced composers or people who are willing to spend several hundred of dollars for the more realistic sound and deeper control. Also on a technical & audio level, I'm sure there is some difference in playing a pre-mixed patch vs doing your own mixing of multiple individual instruments, but I don't really know too much about that stuff. Hope this helps answer your question!
There will be a difference, because BBC has entirely different recordings. A better comparison would be SSO, in which case depends on the mic mix, processing, orchestration, etc.
Can you take out the xylophone sound off the tutti and mantain the other sounds together with the short and long patch? Does it have tímpani or something similar? Can it add more instruments without the modwheel with just the velocity like Amadeus Symphony?
These combos came with legatos, but we had to spend hundreds for Abbey Road Foundations (no legatos) and all the add ons still didn’t give us all the legatos for full range of the orchestra in the Foundations library.
love this! So much more versatile than the tutti sections we have now in symphony orchestra. It looks absolutely perfect for quick sketches with a good quality sound
Sounds great! Paul, what is that red controller box you're using? I'm looking for something different now that it seems Monogram is effectively out of business.
I'm not a fan of Kontakt but one thing I prefer it over Spitfire is the efficiency. After purchasing BBC, AR and other Spitfire libraries I began to realize that loading the entire orchestra is just silly if you only want a few sections. It becomes a CPU, memory hog. It's the main reason I moved over to Orchestral Tools. Their player allows a streamlined load. Sadly, Spitfire pours its limited talent into 'new products' but never maintains the older ones. Project Sam is fantastic in that regard and just this week Orchestral Tools LISTENED the complaint about their phenomenal Benjamin Wallfisch strings by adding some shorts and other things that were lacking... for free. I've spent a lot of money with Spitfire and I have some buyer's remorse. Look up the complaints on BT Phobos and you'll see smoke come out of my ears with all the others. Deadware... seems to be a priority with Spitfire. Don't bank on them fixing or improving their player. 🤷♂
Hi. Can you enable the full orchestra with the drums/grand casa and the brass woodwinds and strings at the same time where you choose which percussion you get (I dont want the xylophone and the cymbals everytime I play forte)?
@@compositor82 There are four ensemble patches: strings + winds, strings + brass, strings + winds + brass, and orchestra. Only the orchestra patch has the xylophone built in; all the other percussion is in its own patch. There is no patch that combines the drums or cymbals with the orchestra, you have to layer those yourself.
Probably a bit too much xylophone in the orchestra patch haha
Bloody annoying.
This should really be a free add-on for anyone who owns Spitfire Symphony Orchestra..
I think so too
SSO may not have this exactly of course, but it does have curated ensembles.

We get 50% off ! A Barging for all that work !:)
Those are custom made patches by Andy, 50% off for SSO owners. Don't be cheap.
12:31 surprise barbie girl
😅
ahaha so funny ! GG
I heard that too! 😆
Was hopping we would finally get a big band library😢
projectsam has a good one called swing and swing more

Is this the Masse library re-compiled?
A comparison would be interesting
Thumbnail: Paul is... very excited.
Does anyone know if it has individual patches for each sections separately? like Strings section only, Brass section only, etc...

Guys the new user interface is terrible.
Now that's more like it, a new product with Kontakt. ^^

It would be nice to get various legato patches for SSO. Like sordino strings etc. And an option for polyphonic legato, even as basic as SCS.
Albion One re invented? This should be free. It would go nice with the Eric Whitaker Choir Evo, if it ever gets fixed.
Finally....the new Salsa Cowbell vst with 88 mic positions! 🎤 🎹🎶👍💯🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Big fan!
Aaaaaand...another winner from Spitfire Audio 🙏🙏 Thanks guys! Can't wait to try this

Choi sauce controller.
Could have picked a better name
ANOTHER SSO REPACKAGE??

Website still slow error 404
After playing around with it, I do think it's a fun tool. I wish it had a timpani instead of the drums / metals combo. And a pizzicato patch~

Ok. Thanks si to me nor wortht even though it sounds more real Amadeus symphonic is still better as a sketch
@@compositor82 This seems to be marketed towards first time buyers. It's a good deal for the price if don't own anything similar. :)
Tutti-frutti. 😋
Frutti
Is this the Homay Conducted Orchestra?!?!?!?!😊
Why didn’t they make this standalone🙄
Because the samples are from Spitfire Symphony Orchestra, which is a Kontakt library.
It is Standalone.
@@AMBIOSIS It's not, it literally runs in Kontakt, you can see it in the video hahaha
@@AlonsoJoaquinComposer Kontakt is standalone you muppet, ha bloody ha.
