Wow, that flute sounds nice. . . Very Dynamic Legato Clarinet sounds sick, But that Oboe takes the cake. Oh man, I can only imagine the possibilities using that one.
I have watched all the BBC SO vids, but what I really want to know is: How does the control of vibrato and dynamics actually work? I would love to see a careful demonstration of just that. Not just "oh, and you can control vibrato and dynamics" - while throwing two faders up and down. What I want to know is: Is there crossfading going on between vibrato and non-vibrato? And if so, how can it be seamless? I'd love you to go through just one sound, demonstrating how dynamics and vibrato works and sounds. Like, in a sit-down-and-listen-carefully kind of way.
I expected continuous vibrato option (to a degree), but it's not. It's quite an audible step at 50% of the fader, so it's hardly usable for solo section going from non-vibrato to vibrato. Dynamics, on the other hand (by default controllable by modwheel) is more or less seamless. Some areas are "steeper" so to say, but there are nice crossfades from one dynamic layer to another. No problem with the dynamics really, very well done.
Now I have my grubby little hands on it, it sounds fantastic A bit annoying I have to enter each of the CC articulation settings instead of locking to UACC with one click as in Kontatkt, or have I missed something? When will the manual be available? Well done guys.
But what about the trills, Paul? Aren't they great? Not sure you've sold me on their immense greatness. Might need to lean in closer to the mic for greater effect.
I was a bit disappointed by legato flute which sounds like with some phaser - like not a single flute, really. Long and other articulations are clear, but legato is like with some strange short delay or what. Why can't it sound as well defined as the long articulation? Even when played slow it's not like a single flute really. I own Core version, not sure whether Pro is different in this regard.
Basically, I want my entire life to be dynamically controllable. I won't settle for anything less! P.S. Spitfire must be fed up with my highly questionable sense of humour, at this point... On a more serious note, this is a serious library, especially for that price range. I am here because I am considering upgrading to pro, because I want a more intimate sound so that I can use the solo woodwinds in non-orchestral music. It's either going to be this or Orchestral Tool's new solo woodwinds. For me, the winning factor with this one is the legato extended/performance legato which I would not change for anything in the world. When it comes to playing melody lines it is indispensable in my opinion. Although I was somewhat disappointed with the performance legato of some brass instruments, which I did not find quite as nimble as it is for the flute, strings etc. I don't think OT has the same feature, unfortunately. Any advice on that matter is highly appreciated.
I'm gonna try this again. As someone who already owns most of the Spitfire SO (everything except brass), is there a point in buying the BBC SO? Does the Spitfire SO still have a purpose, or should people just go for a cheaper, single purchase, of the BBC SO?
I only have the Symphonic Strings but, as far as I can tell, the SO line seems to have a lot more articulations than BBC SO. On the other hand, BBC has more mics so you can tweak the sound more, I suppose. Maybe the point of buying the BBC SO is if you like the sound better or you like the interface and the convenience of the dedicated player. Other than that, if you've already invested in the symphonic line, I would stick to that one.
@@forster123 that's a tough call - I have the Symphonic Orchestra but this sounds different - different space and years later in recording tech. I'm very tempted - certainly at the intro price.
Hi Paul, great job !! I downloaded today your new BBC Symphonic Orchestra and now I'm testing it. It's wonderful but how about Marcato articulation on Flute for example ? In this video you show that the length of the marcato depends on how long you hold the keys down but here it always plays till the end of the sample. In this way it's impossible to play any melodic line in Marcato mode because every note overlap the others. How can I solve this ? Thankyou very very much.
Why play chords for short staccato with the a3 flute patch? That's not something that's normally done right, or am I wrong? it's like 9 flute players then. BUT..the winds do sound fantastic!!! Great job!
Hmm, don't really like the clarinet, maybe it's the vibrato in the demo. Oboe legato seemed to be a tiny bit jumpy? But the tone is great. Flute sounded lovely too! Contrabass Clarinet sounds great from what we got! Bass clarinet is a little nasally for me. Contrabassoon sounds cool too!
Solo flute great, Dont play chords it is not a solo Paul you dont seem to be able to demo a solo instrument, when you play a chord!!! 7.42 Oboe solo. 8.52 Clarinet. 12.27 Bassoon solo for a few seconds and I give up!

These individual walkthroughs of the different orchestral sections really reveal the staggering thought and work you've put into this project/product.
I wasn't aware TheraminTrees was into sample libraries. What a revelation!
That bass clarinet in particular made me forget that I'm listening to a sample library and not a real player. Brilliant work!
Wow, that flute sounds nice. . . Very Dynamic
Legato Clarinet sounds sick,
But that Oboe takes the cake. Oh man, I can only imagine the possibilities using that one.
Funny how different people have completely different tastes. I didn't like the sound of the oboe very much to be honest, but to each their own!
Yet another great walkthrough and sound set of the library.
All the instruments of this library sound so amazing and I am glad I own it :)
Keith Theodosiou Composer/Musician
Two more days man...Two!
@@andrewqualls So looking forward to this!
Keith Theodosiou Composer/Musician I second that man 👍🏾
Remember that one video a few weeks ago where he said he discussed something in the Woodwinds video that wasn't out yet? Paul is a time traveler! LOL
This collection needs an alto flute. Then it'll be absolutely perfect.
and runs for flute, cl and oboes like the piccolo
Yeah I don't understand why the alto flute is missing
Those legatos all sound sooo easy to work with
Appreciate this video, Paul. Thanks.

I love the Bassoon
Why aren't you "very excited" today, Paul? :D
because we are !
Got mine today! Roll on thursday!
Yeah me too!
@@MrMarkhughes22 The drive? Or you mean you just purchased it? Its looking like it is going to sound great :D!
@@seanbeeson Yeah got the drive in the post today like yourself. Can't wait to get working with it!
Mark Hughes nice!! Are you in the us or us?

When will the manual be available?
Well done guys.
I keep saying it, but I'd love to purchase the Woodwinds on their own.
Can you use this software with sibelius?
did not show the add ons, contrabass cl, bass fl
Which is better: BBC Symphony Orchestra Professional or Spitfire Symphony Orchestra?
Which is best? Your thoughts?
But what about the trills, Paul? Aren't they great? Not sure you've sold me on their immense greatness. Might need to lean in closer to the mic for greater effect.

Is there a way to have all the articulations map to the cc instead of velocity based?
+1 Would like to know this to :)

Don’t buy it
You will probably have to spend a lot less time mixing using BBCSO since it has a great out of the box sound.

WW sounds fantastic - well actually all the sections do!
Audio modeling sound better but the Menu on this one is better
Finally! :D

Real pity that you included the contrabass clarinet and contrabasson but no alto nor bass flute.
Yet, one question remains..... who is Jake?
Solo flute great, Dont play chords it is not a solo Paul you dont seem to be able to demo a solo instrument, when you play a chord!!! 7.42 Oboe solo. 8.52 Clarinet. 12.27 Bassoon solo for a few seconds and I give up!
I really gotta stop watching these
Stop staying “slightly more hyped mix” we get it we watched all the other BBC SO walkthroughs
Plus, I have no idea what a "hyped" mix is. Is it on every newspaper cover, or why might it be hyped? :-)
Lars Daniel Terkelsen I think it means like it’s more epic sounding but less realistic
