Spitfire Audio Free Libs

Exploring Orchestral Instrument Libraries one by one. Each track features one Sample Library (Kontakt mostly). These are all only brief encounters of mine with them as I don't own them, except for the free Spitfire Audio BBCSO Discover. But I deeply enjoyed making music with them all. Hopefully there will be more coming through along the way.

One Synth Challenge #165: BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover by Spitfire Audio

Good

Each track is done with one specific synth to create all instruments. It's KVR's OneSynthChallenge that made them manifest. The majority of synths are free vst instruments from the web. It's quite amazing what beauty waits for you to just download it and have at it.
All of them are done with my favorite DAW: MuLab (www.mutools.com)

One Synth Only

OSC Favs

Dipping my toes into the water, this is day one (and two) of playing with Spitfire Audio's BBCSO Discover. I had waited for two weeks to get it for free ("little broke me") and I'm quite thrilled. It takes some careful editing to overcome its limitations and I know very little about proper orchestration, but that has to be the easiest, most beautiful digital orchestra approach ever. So light weight, but so powerful. 
Anyway, I'm sure, I'll get to add a lot more explorations and maybe even a complete track or two, hehe.

Discover Day One

Had a funny idea, using global tune to slur (bend) notes carefully. I've only used it on the high strings, but only ever on one of them at the time (violin 1 or violin 2). The result is...well... kinda fun! ☺

Here's a quick little first encounter with Jaeger. Didn't quite know what to do with it at first, but it is pretty powerful and makes me want to know better, hahaha.

$100 miniPC + MuLab + BBCSO Discover = OMG, it works! 
As a gimmick I tried to use this tiny computer for an orchestral composition and it actually worked. Talking about being on a budget.

However, I keep updating this, because I still don't feel comfortable composing for brass. Maybe it's okay now? Well, let's see how I feel about it "tomorrow", haha.

MyLoFy - Shattered

A quintet for flute, oboe, horn, bassoon and harp.
Done with Spitfire Audio's BBCSO Core, In this first attempt of mine to do a quintet, I'm exploring freely various styles without any decent knowledge over any of them. It's really more like I'm just getting my feet wet in the general concept of a quintet. But along the way I've become more and more excited about the possibilities. Chances are that I'll do a lot more of these, but it did take me a good 7 days to get to this and I feel like it's far from finished.

Ahnenträume

Done entirely with Orchestral Tools' Berlin Inspire 1, this is a W.I.P I keep coming back to, because it is actually loads of fun to work on.

In fact, no Delay or Reverb plugin was used (not even with Panagement; wet on 0%), but only the internal FX within ExtraBold. Reverbs in there are a bit long and there's literally no control over them other than wetness. Curious concept. But, hey, it all works quite well for its simplicity. All in all, pretty neat little synth with just enough control to get plenty of complexity and variety. I like it! 😎👍
