Aidan Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 This could as easily have gone in Shameless Plugs, I guess, but... I recently took advantage of getting a free copy of Spitfire Audio's BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover edition, already ridiculously cheap (50UKP) but if you filled out a survey and waited 14 days they sent you a download link for nothing. No legatos or soloists but at that price, you can hardly complain. Long story short: I dug it so much that I ended up buying Core, the next version up (which adds soloists and extra instruments). I took advantage of an introductory 100UKP discount AND also got credited for the 50 bucks I didn't spend on Discover, so got a phenomenal orchestral library for 250UKP. There is a step up yet, which adds section leaders and many different mic positions but that's a bit rich for me at the moment at least. Anyway, here is a quick little thing I put together and filmed in a single morning with the Discover edition (apart from the Cor Anglais in the intro, which is from the Logic library), the Vaughan Williams hymn tune Down Ampney ('Come Down, O Love Divine).

David Emm Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Very engaging and impeccably rendered, Aidan. I'm not a mad collector, but their offer is tempting. I'm not QUITE at the point where I feel as if my orchestral resources are lush enough. I'm going to lean in and inspect Spitfire more closely, because that's the tone I'm looking for.
