Since I already mentioned demos, here’s a tip: don’t believe the library or any virtual instrument will sound like in demo out of the box.This article is more like a great opportunity to explain to people just starting out how to choose between various libraries, what to take into consideration and so on. There are such comparison on YouTube made by many other people, and you can compare the libraries yourself, by listening to demos on their websites. I’m not going to compare the sound of the libraries with any videos or music examples. Let’s start with links (they’re not affiliate links, I don’t earn anything when you make a purchase here): Both Spitfire Audio and Orchestral Tools produced multiple “all in one” libraries, but for the purpose of this article, I will focus on three (well, four) libraries: Symphobia 1 and 2, Albion One, and Metropolis Ark 1, assuming that you’re interested in producing more epic and more powerful orchestral music, and you’re a beginner selecting your first library.

In case some people may miss this entire series, I want to answer this question in a separate short article. Which one should you choose? I already gave you some tips in my How to Make Epic and Orchestral Music course, part 3. Symphobia, Albion and Metropolis Ark – these are three “all in one” virtual orchestral libraries recommended for beginners.
