In partnership with BBC Studios and the world-famous BBC Symphony Orchestra, Spitfire Audio has finally been able to capture what no other sample library has before: a family of astoundingly accomplished players that has shared the stage for thousands of hours, whose musical telepathy and 90-year heritage of performances and recordings is a national and international treasure.
Livestream, 08/28/2019
Christian Henson & Paul Thomson - Spitfire Audio founders
Pure Goosebumps. Over the last 18 months I feel like I've been on this amazing journey with you all at Spitfire and have seen you grow, mature and embrace the community around you. I wouldn't be making music without the tools that you have given me and am so proud to be a part of the next chapter for both Spitfire and the entire community.
16:44 - “adding ‘spill’ from other section mics”
This has been one of my most personally wished-for features in sample libraries (and biggest gripe for the lack of it) for a long time.
When orchestras record spot mics, those mics capture the natural reflection/sound of other sections in the room when they play. Trying to achieve that artificially (using delays, reverb) is time consuming and damn difficult, especially if you’re using other libraries.
THANK YOU guys!
Also, that Tuba is badass.
The first symphony orchestra to visit my house is coming from the BBC.
this looks amazing. great price point too - very impressed guys, thanks
Stunning demo!! Reminds me of 60s TV sci-fi series soundtracks. Love the sound of the space in this library, not too wet.
Wow, this is ultra special. Nice one Spitfire.
41:14 hahahahahahah, excellent. But seriously, what an amazing achievement by all involved. Cant wait to hear more of whats possible with this library!
And this is done without even mixing it. No EQs, no compressions, no reverbs, flat faders, nothing. Impressive. 18:34
19:24 Crazy bass trombone meter madness! Circular breathing boneage!
All sounds freaking amazing! CONGRATS!!!!
Really interested in hearing the "section leader" patches, once more demos start making rounds.
That demo at ~18:30 is absolutely killer! Looking forward to the release.
And yes, BIG thanks for bringing this to folks like me who dont have access to actual orchestra. Time to save some money till Oct 24th :)
An audio company and they botched the audio in this video. Volume maxed and can barely hear it
Good point!
When will there be a walkthrough? Preferrably for the legato's.
Bingo! Easy and effective legato is my #1 benchmark.
Congratulations on this monumental undertaking. The demo song was just glorious.
Amazing work guys. You've clearly built and nurtured a mega talented team. Recently subscribed to your channel and enjoy the informative and well crafted videos your putting out. More cribs please :)
So awesome guys. You killed it! Can’t wait to get my hands on this!
Wow! What an amazing piece of software guys. Congratulations.
And the price too. My EastWest Symphonic Orchestra was dearer that this.
the music was really good as well.
I want,,, I want;-)
Ouch, was on headphones and voice audio was way lower than trailer audio. Got an unwanted surprise in my cans.
Looks totally amazing!!! If you could also make templates not only to Mac and Logic but also PC and Cubase I'm completely sold! Great job Spitfire Audio, great job!
Awesome, looking forward to a walkthrough!
Fantastic! Let’s see if I can wait until Christmas before getting this....
What... no Reaper template?
Please provide a playthrough of the individual instruments .
can't wait to get my hands on this, the sounds are insane!
The mic bleed is such a great touch!!! It’s about time!!! Sold!!!!
where
Another Spitfire Library I wish I could afford
Wrc Wrc put it on your credit card
Wow.. that sounds really good out of the box. Maybe some templates for windowsbased programs like studio one, reaper and cubase. Also a supercool feature would be a midi file archive similar to ezdrummer. with runs, arpeggios, stabs, grooves, chord progressions etc....
Quite an audio standard to live up to
its so great but i wish there was 4/5 dynamic layers. I think 99 percent of people would prefer 10 mic positions and 4 dynamic layers than 3 dynamic layers and 20 mic positions
All my wishes for you SA!
ist it possible to install it on a extern SSD & run it from there. i just have 256 GB Internal SSd on my macbook.
Cool. I'll probably drive mother crazy with this downloaded to my laptop here!! Probably won't sleep wo'n't eat and become addicted to it, an ingenious "device-giant software"!!! Dare not download it yet...although it's "free"???
Oh my God, this sounds wonderful, and a great intro price! Well done guys, a truly great library! I’m retired, got no work, but I think I’m gonna buy this, just for sheer joy of it! 👍
Sweet baby Jesus, this sounds so good!
Please, for the love of all that is holy tell me that you recorded IR's with all the microphones in place, so we have a fighting chance to fit classical singers, etc. in the same natural space as the orchestra, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, pleeeeeease!!!!! The sound aesthetic is perfect for "serious" classical recordings, and I've dreamt of being able to do a mock-up that reflects what a non-mic'ed performance will sound like. I'm so freaking excited, but at the same time I dread of learning that you, because you work with media composition, haven't thought about the fantastic implications this could have for classical composers. But it is totally dependent on having matching IR's to realize the full potential.
I'm not looking down on media composition, btw. In general there's more moving, interesting music coming from that branch than from 'serious' academic classical composition IMO. But I'm sure you don't have much regard e.g. for the real-world difference in volume between instruments when you're frantically working against yet another insane deadline, or whether all the components of the score sound live and acoustic. And artificial reverb (along with close-mic'd large-diaphragm tube mic's) does lend itself more to squeezing every drop of emotion out of the human voice anyway, so you wouldn't ever even want to use the reverb of the hall the orchestra was recorded in, let alone the small-diaphragm mic's placed a meter or more away from the singer that live recordings usually use. I'm rambling, I know. IR's!?!
I can only wish for better price for “everything” owners :)
Alan Butterworth IR stands for Impulse Response. It means that you record a ‘flat frequency’ signal and hear how the room and mics react. You can then translate this information into a reverb using convolution.
who cares about classical composers? is this the 1700s?
Captain Voluntaryist, The Statist Slayer there are plenty of people that care, please don't be condescending.
MAIDA VALE IMPULSE RESPONSES ??? - It’d be great if you could supply impulse responses (with the same microphone set up) in order to blend other Spitfire samples (piano, organ, etc...) using convolution reverbs!!! I imagine you’ll be adding extra instruments sampled in the same space over the coming months and years, but it’d be great in the meantime if you could supply a reverb engine plug-in that allowed your other libraries to seamlessly feed into this one (with judicious curated room sound/microphone re-routing settings that tailors each specific source to effortlessly blend/fit into this system/workflow/concept)...
this is the best idea
Looks and sounds terrific this
More walkthroughs, thanks!
Guessed it. I' ll be damned (but not so hard; it was inevitable, after all..). - This is really incredible! Looking forward to the tutorials - and saving up so I can hear some of my old student pieces played by one of the greatest orchestras - and all in one great room.
That’s awesome they give us plenty of time till nov to save up and buy this library for 750 . 25% off
Just listened the demo "Admiral Benbow" on the product page, and had my jaw dropping.
OOhh Yeeaah
Yes please, thank you!
It sounds great! Looking forward to seeing more from it. Will is have muted brass as well?
and the logic templates!!!! bang
It might be a very great product, without any doubt, awesome sounding. But I don't know if someone who already own symphonic libraries would buy it (because of financial means).
I wish I had a lot more money
Looks like spitfire is trying to enter into race with VSL and their Synchron Stage :) both are making great products already ...
It is exciting that the player plugin development does not stops. It is exciting how much new technical improvements has been built into the new player. Then there is the artistic value of the recording together with playability. These together can make the next step in this domain.
Absolutely mad!
Lovely. You did just fine.....
Make a version of it for Sibelius, Dorico & Finale - although you would have to learn to read music to use it (!)
playing starts at about 24 minutes.....so I immediately noticed a difference this sounds like a film score and not a sample library demo , in comparison to the east west demos which sound over the top is one example that comes to mind.....
It was amazing I was there!!
I have a problem, when i installed Spitfire, and open it, the app crashed, so i followed the instructions to delete the im.conf file (windows user), so the app could open, but when im trying to log in, the app crashes again, cant fix this problem, i tried everything, can someone help me?
is your system 64 bit?
Excellent! Nice presentation : D
The patch gallery is enormous. Most complete orchestral VST I know about. Even a celeste and such.. Choir is missing though :D
Was just fixing to buy Albion One soon. Guess I'll hold off
Uhh it's 30% off right now.
@@captainvoluntaryistthestat3207 I can actually get it for 50% off. My point is is that if BBCSO goes above and beyond what Albion does I'll just get that
Bravo!
Stunning guys, just amazingly stunning. A milestone for many reasons, congrats to all involved.
Congratulations! Definitely going to pre-order!
Love the feature to customize which articulations you use. Always wanted this option
Sounds amazing, the price is great, after hearing a walkthrough with direct audio, will probably most likely purchase.
Can this be regarded as a substitute to Hollywood Orchestra by EW? Does it come with solo instruments?
(Currently looking to buy that library, but the severly consumer unfriendly practises of EW draw me off each time I actually want to make the purchase.
So I would be more than willing to buy this one rather than anything from EW.)
East Wests libraries are quite dated by comparison to Spitfires. Spitfire also are the clear frontrunner when it comes to their methods, tesh, implementation and playability. I have Albion One and even though that's one of their first libraries it sh*ts all over anything I've used by other companies.
If you buy from Spitfire - You're gonna have a good time.
@@HoobtheNoob Got Albion One and Two (not available anymore) so far.
Love the sound, but I do need more options to diversify the mix.
Not just strings or brass high, but Violins and Violas, Trumpets and Horns.
Plus amd very importantly: Solo instruments.
Appreciate your feedback! 👍
@@NevermindXY oh brill! I'm really hoping to grab the BBC for my first full orchestral lib. Too good to pass up!!!
From what they said in the broadcast, they recorded both the ensembles and solo players. So at least all of the string instruments should be separate (violin, viola, cello, bass). Same for the perc and harp, and in the examples you can see the trombones separate as well so I'd assume they treated the brass in the same way as the strings.
@@westhave Well, I hope that they include Solo seperate as well.
Are you going to go through your lineup and use SFLAC for everything?
Wish I hadn’t just bought symphonic series..
I held off on any of those deals... I figured something big was coming... but I did not guess a partnership with the BBC. This is quite a nice surprise.
Gómez Rodriguez agreed 100 percent lol. Literally just completed my SSO, and now this. Can’t help but feel a bit like I wasted money on outdated libraries that are now completely replaced
They should have put them on hold..
@@bfree45, I wouldn't say they were outdated. I think each library offers up something very unique which you can use any time.
Wow you have the Rolls Royce of orchestral samples and you're sad?
Maybe a 'lite' version might be a good idea. 600GB for a bunch of mics most people wont use is a little much.
Make your sampler Multitimbral.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very sad about the interlacing in the video, however much better audio quality than in the cinema (you should have really just put two stacks of something like Halo-C on a sub below the screen and it would have been so awesome!).
I really wish Andy would have done a more focused demo instead of trying to throw the entire kitchen sink in there...it's so unfocused and all over the place. Sure it sounds okay, but many things are unbalanced, and while I get it's meant as a demo, it's just not how most of us would use any library. it's not a cohesive piece. So to pull the plug on a pre-order with that demo is not happening. Waiting for a proper walkthrough, which should have been the FIRST order of business to sell this thing IMO.
I can see the jokes coming in Already...
about what
40:58
that's the Christian we know and love!
👏👏👏
Hmm :(
is this a good sound??? Is it very different from 'Spitfire Symphony Orch'?
well done! it is truly a milestone. i believe your next could be a subscription option! 😉
They finally ditched Kontakt
Probably cause kontakt would collapse under its own weight from the sheer amount of files and samples... I dunno
Hunter Morgan Honestly, I really hate NI’s business practice when it comes to the retail version of Kontakt so I hope Spitfire leaves it for good and other companies follow.
just for this plugin, sadly. they did the same thing with the Whitacre choir, and with the LABS instruments, but they've said they'll continue to use kontakt :(
"If you only study the Bs..." great comment, really sums up...hey, wait what? no Bon Jovi?
o thought it was something big, I'm off to wash my hair.
shut up and take my money
Don't get me wrong; this seems like a cleaner (and more compact) version of Spitfire Symphony Orchestra, which is really freaking cool. I imagine making this had to feel like you were changing the world, and I'd agree you probably did just release THE new standard orchestra plugin, the best sounding in the world. Not knocking any of that, but honestly, hearing about LABS for the first time was actually way more exciting than this. I look at your huge templates and, while it looks impressive, it makes my head hurt because all I really want for MY projects is to have as few tracks as possible.
I use LABS patches constantly because they're quick, satisfying, and above all INSPIRING. That's what I wish this orchestra struck me as, but so far it just looks like another orchestra that requires a knowledge of orchestral arrangement (and a lot of time) to create something impressive with. If you guys used the existing recordings and designed some dense premade "color" patches for us, like the Sonuscore Orchestra Complete has, and then let us use the mod wheel to "evolve" the patches, THAT would really make me hyped up to save up for this. That would inspire the hell out of us. The only evolving elements you'd need to play with would be the addition of another section (or multiple other sections) joining in as a modwheel moves. Maybe making a timpani hit at higher velocities on a brass patch. Or maybe a way to slide between soft horns and woodwinds with the modwheel, allowing us to subtly change the color of a melody without several minutes of arranging. That sort of thing. It'd be insanely inspiring to have the ability to instantly blend orchestral sections like that on the spot, and I think you guys would be able to create something insanely easy to use AND versitile.
TL;DR, make something with these recordings that works like Masse but on steroids. Sonuscore Orchestra Complete has sort of done this already but with a lower quality set of recordings (and I think you guys can do better).
Not understanding how to work with it makes you want to have something simpler/pre-arranged rather than learning how to do it? I own the Sonuscore Orchestra Complete and it’s fun to play around with but it’s nothing serious.
You have something like you described in Garritan - Instant Orchestra
@@StefanNitzsche Well yes and no. I wasn't saying they should pre-arrange whole arrangements like in that sonuscore plugin, just that they should have pre-made "colors" like masse but more detailed. Even if I was a master at creating orchestral colors, I wouldn't want to take the time to do that while I'm getting ideas out of my head.
@@JeromeFe Kind of. It's 7 years old, not that realistic, and not velocity sensitive. Spitfire could do it better.
Dance God - I totally agree!
So this is like the new Albion One? Does it have solo strings?
It sounds like they recorded all section leaders separately, so in theory, yes?
Oh, God
Rip my wallet.
People who want a real orchestra can use this, and people who want awful fake-sounding noise can use Hans Zimmer Strings or Hans Zimmer Whatever. Sounds fair.
This sounds amazing though.
Unlike what the guy in the video says, If you havent studied theory or cant read music, you CANT create (sensible)) orchestral music Period. You can surely make sub standard, repetitive nonsense. Orchestration is as hard as it is ever been. These software are just tools.
It's sad there is no way to make these lossless quality terabytes of files sound non synthetic when you actually play it on keyboard unlike swam's engine instruments that sounds way more realistic and you feel that you play real instrument. Oh yeah and swam i's only couple hundred megabytes.
Modeled instruments are good and have their place, but require a lot of effort to get sounding right, especially in a orchestral space, and come with a compromise in tone. This library is the opposite, no tweaking to get what sounds like a great orchestral ambience, with no compromise on sound.
You're kidding right? Swam's stuff sounds incredibly synthetic. Sure the expressiveness of control is great, but they sound liked a synth, not even remotely realistic tone at all!.
The Gothic - Sorry to disagree with you, but on your recommendation I went straight to the Swam website and listened to numerous demos, and they all sound dead. A bit like watching a poodle cook breakfast - a dazzling feat, an astonishing attention to nuance and detail, but to the taste buds the results are still a dog’s breakfast. Listening to their full orchestra demos reminds me of listening to the Flight of the Bumble Bee orchestral demo patch/sequence hard-baked into my Roland D-110 (rack mounted D50 type box) back in the late 1980s. It totally sold me, and was the cause of the worst purchase I have ever made. God how I hated that box. And that demo patch. Synthetic confectionary alas. I’m afraid to my ears, Swam has that same quality of audio death waves. It’s simply inhuman. A lifeless body jerked around by a human. An expressionless death mask given human expression. I can see all those various players in the video clips getting their musicians jollies off - “you *feel* like you’re playing a real instrument,” as you say - but I think what these kind of libraries are offering is not that *musicianly* thrill one might get playing Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree on a cheesy cinema organ, but the authentic human artistic outcomes a *composer* is seeking for their work. Deeply textured reality. And sonic ‘duende’. Realism. Depth. Nuance. Elan. Direct connection to compositional artistry through the audience’s physical, emotional and spiritual transportation.
