As a classically trained percussionist I am super excited to start working with this library. Thank u for including all the various articulations. It all sounds amazing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I adore the fact that you can Mod Wheel the Cymbals. That's awesome!! No more having to manually re-time your cymbal samples again and again until you get it right. Very well done Spitfire. Once I save up enough, I'll definitely be buying this as my next orchestral purchase.
I have been agonising over this library for weeks. Each time a new video is released covering a different orchestra section I get an almost unstoppable urge to pre-order. Spitfire must be sick of me putting this library in my shopping cart then choosing not to press the buy button! This percussion video is the tipping point. Such a wonderful sounding, versatile and comprehensive library. The only thing stopping me each time was the knowledge that I have a number of orchestral libraries already, so surely I can do without this one. Yes, I can, but when I consider the content here on offer and the introductory price then it really is a no brainer : For the price of a poorly specified consumer synth I can get - let’s face it - the only orchestral library I will ever need. Just a few years ago you would expect to pay thousands for a library like this. So thank you Spitfire for the gift that is this library, but it will be the last one I ever purchase from you. I will not need anything else. Ever again. Honest!
Haha. I first bought Abbey Road along with all the mods but soon realized I needed a more serious composing tool. (Abbey is phenomenal for pre-orchestrated mock ups like Albion). I just bought this during the spring sale for 40% off. For value? It's the best out there. You've got the entire orchestra plus solo instruments. Yeah, others like Berlin may have an edge when it comes to some articulations, but the cost is way too prohibitive. The tipping point for me was listening to lots of BBC Pro recordings of actual pieces here on YT. It's a great tool.
From an Orchestral Percussionist, you might want to look at different mallets for the Xylo, Marimba and Glock next time? Becker Blue mallets sound totally different from the Whites on Xylophone and Glock, one has a softer tone, the other harder, and different kinds of thread size, density of the winding and mallet head size will sound different on Marimba. LOVE this Library though, keep up the good work!
Great Walkthrough. It sounded like you were about to go into the A team theme tune at the end there. Paul would have to be 'BA'. Louis can be' Murdoch'. Homay can be 'Triple A'. Oliver would have to be 'Face'. Christian would then have to be 'Hannibal' with the cigar. "I love it when a plan comes together". I would love to see that trailer!
Love the feature with combining multiple articulations and then transposing them. For the mic positions, can you save your own presets for mic setups? So create your own mic mix?
Here's a Xylophone! You will never meet a xylophone player in your life, but here is a XYLOPHONE! The only word invented to give me something to say when I get to 'X' in the alphabet...
Please add a feature to be able to save and recall different mic mixes across all instances of BBC so. Too many hours of mine are spent recreating the same mix
To be completely honest, the thing that puts me off buying pro instead of core is not so much the price, but the mammoth-like size... I could never justify taking up that much space for one library. I wish they released a more storage-friendly version with more than just one mic position.
Hey so I am planning to make my own percussion library, since I’m a percussionist. How do you cross fade different dynamic rolls on mallet instruments and timpani?
I was waiting for the Timpani. I think it is the most hardest instrument to blend in an orchestral template. I own the best percussion libraries in the market, yet I still feel disappointed with every Timpani patch I get my hands on. Something in a live recording gives the Timpani a stronger presence and the rolls can cut through the entire orchestra easily. Not just the rolls, even the normal hits. They sound powerful, punchy and have a "roar" feel to it. I think it is hard to explain what I'm trying to say, but people who were able to record their music live will definitely know what I'm talking about.
@@thursday3115 Based on the demos I've heard, they might have actually did it. I guess the trick was to record the Timpani at the same settings with the rest of the orchestra. I really liked their new idea where they keep the mics open in order to capture a cohesive sound like if they were all in the same room (which they actually are!). Still... It is too soon to judge. I would wait for this library to get released first and see other reviewers what they have to say about it.
Milø , are you serious ? I’m actually a music producer, but guitar is my first love instrument... Looking towards setting some time to just practice it! Thank you for checking my channel!
Alright, what about: 1) inconsistent volume between instruments, articulations and velocities (vel 91 sounds much louder than 90, for instance) 2) significant load time & ram usage ??? I don't have this library, but this is what I read in honest reviews from people who bought it. Especially, inconsistent volume of the library prevents me from buying it, cuz if it's true that would be a pain in the ass. Please, can anyone consult me about those issues?
@@DMIXMusic Yes, I'm in love with the sound too and consider buying it. However, what do you think on those 2 issues I've mentioned above? Have you experienced any?
@@thursday3115 You're absolutely right in the context of making music but it's much of a muchness for an overview designed to market a product. Most of us already know the difference in sound between close and outriggers before we've heard it.
@@thursday3115 Little ol me?? Oh the Hubris. I couldn't possibly. Wouldn't even dream of wishing to reach such heights. Surly us pions should keep our opinions to ourselves when exposed to the gleam of such devine products?
I disagree. Not everyone will like the tree mic sounds they're demoing, and here Paul is demonstrating one or two alternative he thinks are worth noting. He didn't go through every single one. On top of that, all of the bleed mics presented something new to the library world.

You guys don't get nearly enough credit
Every section is amazingly sounding.

That Vibraphone is heavenly!!
When you think of what your getting here, this is a great deal!.

Very thorough walkthroughs, thank you. Sounds excellent.
Goodness, I can't wait till I can buy this. Great work.
So excited for this library! Pre-ordered and waiting by the mailbox!
It makes me sad when Paul's not really excited today.
coz every thing is soft
Should we ask him if everything's alright? I think it's good to be sure.
@@MarcusHedenberg MAYBE .. BBC arent paying them enough i think Marcus.
I think he needs a hug.
@@CybreSmee 😂😂
Thank you Paul!
Finally with the cymbal sustained rolls!
Please make a library of just the solo instruments !
Love the feature with combining multiple articulations and then transposing them. For the mic positions, can you save your own presets for mic setups? So create your own mic mix?
WOW, seems like BBC Symphony Orchestra would make for a nice clean template. It would be interesting to see the work flow on putting one together.
This video needs more views considering the production quality
They all sound amazing!!!
Here's a Xylophone! You will never meet a xylophone player in your life, but here is a XYLOPHONE! The only word invented to give me something to say when I get to 'X' in the alphabet...
you have to start integrating SPITFIRE into sibelius ... as NOTEPERFORMER 3 does
I agree!
I agree as well !
What a great tip at the end of the video! Thanks!

Sounds great!
Very helpful, thank you!

get an external drive
Wow, interesting!
Hi Paul,
Can you give some recommendations on which are the best faders 🎚 you like?
So the vibes benefit from the CLOSE WIDE mic @11:13. Why are they presented in MONO, then? Doesn't wide mean... you know... "wide"?
SOOO Amazing!
that timpani sounds huge
Woodwinds, the first section of the orchestral score, will be the last to receive a walkthrough. The suspense is killing me!
I know!
9:27 You forgot one key moment mate, "Xylophone".
What brand is that fader controller? Trying to find the best option to work with spitfire. Having a hard time
Have you bought a fader controller yet? I'm also considering one
@@Dustiliciousz I did bro! Bough the ssl uf8. Very happy with it
Wouhuuu Percussion! Finally I decided to buy it too. :D
Same!
Since the engine does support multiple articulations at the same time, why are you not allowing at least a fake midi multi-timbrality.
Hey so I am planning to make my own percussion library, since I’m a percussionist. How do you cross fade different dynamic rolls on mallet instruments and timpani?
Fantastic! I need a better computer for all these amazing libraries! Gah!
and soft music too.
i wish there would be an buying option for just the percussions & timpani
Does anyone know what the download size will be?
about 600gb!
Just over 600 Gb :-)

You'll face similar issues. If you aren't recording instruments together then you have to ride your faders to achieve that same overpowering effect.
Uhhhh, the harp is a percussion instrument??
sort of
it's both percussion and strings, which is why it's placed between the strings and percussion in score order.
Why leave the woodwinds til last when they're a make or braker?
woodwinds is the last thing I care about....
@@ReinhardtBuhr Well ask them to sell it to you at a discount without woodwinds...
@@PaulCassidyOrchestrations I'm sure I'll use them :) just bought the whole package, now maybe my download will finish by next year Feb...
I wish the vibraphone had performed rolls!
Truly and amazing library. Everything is in there but the kitchen sink lol
@Stark Sound Lab Well if I ever need one, I can just sample my own lol
How much is this library?
Benjamin Magambo a grand
Thank you Milø
Benjamin Magambo not a problem. Your guitar playing is great by the way I just looked at your channel.
Milø , are you serious ? I’m actually a music producer, but guitar is my first love instrument... Looking towards setting some time to just practice it!
Thank you for checking my channel!
Benjamin Magambo that’s the same as me, I’m a music producer and guitarist/pianist
Needs more cowbell
"Always got to have more..." 19:24. Heh.

@@shinamisound Did you read my other reply?
I hate to bring this to you spitfire but i HEAR MORE '' SOFT '' that the dynamic of the each percussive instrument.
The cymbals sound lifeless and wooly.
Maybe don't go on for too long about the mic positions. we get it.
