Regarding Garritan's Orchestra library, well lets just say I prefer Logic Pro's default orchestra instruments over what Garritan has given me, they just aren't really versatile.
#Garritan orchestra 5 vs miroslav upgrade#
My peers recommended I stay away from the Silver version of EastWest because the upgrade to gold gives you a vary large difference in instrument variety. I have most experience using EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Gold and the Garritan Symphonic Orchestra (it came with my copy of Finale 2012). In particular, the BML Horn Section and Kitbag 2 stood out to me, as horns and woodwinds are one of my more preferred orchestral elements. It's got some really woodwinds at an affordable price, and another consideration I had was -building- an orchestra from various samples over time as that would be a bit better for my financial situation. Like I said, I'm not hoping to match that quality at this point.Īny opinions on the Andrew Findon Kitbag? Or any of the smaller session instruments packs for that matter. I'll take a look at some of those other ones as well, though. I've also heard more than a few stories about bad iLok customer support and things not working as they should because of it, so I'm wary to try it out. I've found similar ones on US Amazon, but they're at a higher price and I can't verify if they'd actually work. They only offer it on UK Amazon, which won't ship it to the US. That alone wouldn't be a deal-breaker given the quality vs price, except it's not available for purchase through their website anymore. The problem is that it requires iLok(adding an extra $40 to the cost). If you want more intimate, small ensemble recorded stuff, you're gonna have to shell out, quite a bit, but to get an idea of the difference in sound, look at Spitfire Sable.ĮWQL caught my attention and seems nice. If you want pre-made ensembles for faster writing and easier "well-mixed" orchestral sounds you can do: If you're versed in actual orchestration theory, something that gives you individual instruments is probably better for you.
That being said, there are cheap offerings for starting orchestrators. So to clarify, the sound you will get from cheap offerings isn't necessarily bad, but it will be very very very different from what you're trying to accomplish. Most cheap stuff is recorded big, the sound can be blurry, so the timbre of stuff like vibrato and legato isn't as noticeable. Very intimate, and thus, very hard to sample. You're not going to even get close to that kind of stuff for cheap that stuff has a lot of small/chamber ensemble writing in it.
