I just saw this and was logging in to get a library. I only have, right now, ifs Opus Edition. New at thud but excited and this seems affordable. Have to ask what monitor are you screening from. Let me know. Thank you!
I'm trying to choose between this one [essentials] and HALion Symphonic Orchestra. Just need some occasional strings for my rock/pop stuff. Any thoughts on which is best?
That was the limited edition Arctic Grey colorway for the 25th anniversary edition. Unfortunately it's no longer available because I would love one too! Occasionally ones from that scheme will pop up used on eBay but at a significant premium in price.
Dope video as usual Jef! I took the orchestra hip hop approach! Everytime I reviewed it to and wanted to do something different than I usually do but it always comes out hiphop, lol Always great fam! Blessings!
Awesome video, If you had to pick one library between OE1 and 2 ,which one would you recommend?. This would be as a first "proper" orchestral library .
I’ve seen the same question asked in a different video. The answer was that OE1 would probably be the one you get first because it has everything, OE2 has solo instruments which you might not even need right now.
Off topic :) I would like to start using cubase but I have been told there is no option to use full screen when using mac but I have find this very hard to believe but anyway could you please let me know if this is true or not?
Love Project Sam HATE Native Instruments. I just bought this and of course.... the download isn't available within the NI 'manager'. From the sloppy email instructions to NI buggy software, I always try to keep away from NI. I wish Project Sam would get their own manager. Waiting on support after spending my money. Sigh...
@@jefgibbons Thanks Jef. I do have the latest version. To boot, when opened, some products needed updating and it was successful. However, your reply gave me an idea. So I signed out and back in, and 'there it was'. So thanks. 🙏 But... when I installed the new Project Sam... the NI manager didn't ask me WHERE I wanted to install it. (Like Spitfire, Orchestral Tools, and many other company installers typically do.) So it began installing on my main HD... without a pause or stop button available. Now I have to trouble shoot this. Additionally, after sending an email to NI support, there is no way to update my request, (now that I've sort of resolved it) or even cancel my request. (As Spitfire has). This means another round of wasteful emails regarding my new issue. Grrrrr. The NI experience is just sub-par compared to so many others. Not buying into anymore companies associated with NI until they get it together. All the NI negatives... I do love Project SAM. This particular library is great value for the money.
Project Sam's stuff always sounds so great straight out of the box.
I love this I was in the marching band in high school I played trombone...so of course it's hard to find good brass sounds but this is it!!!
First! Looking forward to this update. Definitely appears more streamlined now. Very exciting. Great video.
Thanks! Yeah it's a fantastic free update for those who have it!
Nice track Jef. And thanks for the overview. I am seriously considering this purchase.
As DJ Khaled would say, That's Anotha One! Jeff! Good tutorial brotha!
lovely demo and video best wishes from uk England Phil👋
This sounds very John Williams/Star Wars-esque
You could definitely use these for Star Wars sounds.

Should be a link to the video on my tv in the description!

This one for sure, Halion SO is very outdated in comparison.
@@jefgibbons Thanks. Great video, btw, very helpful.
Jef, could you tell me what that lovely big screen you’re using is please? And whether you would recommend it. Thanks
Should be a video on it in the description, just an old cheap Samsung 65" but I love it! Have to play with the height so your neck doesn't hurt...
Final idea was the most amazing thing my ears have ever heard
Ha! Yeah right ;)
Please, what is that big beautiful monitor you’re using?
Yes on spiccato. What is your favorite?
Just depends on the type of piece... Symphobia is awesome, but I love Cinesamples and VSL too!
Sounds amazing! What is that WHITE Keyboard controller? I know its a Komplete controller, but they don't have white on their website.

That is an incredibly annoying metronome sound 😅
I wanted to hear the piano samples???
Sorry! My hour was up...

Nothing wrong with that! Thanks Pulse!
Very cool! I love the brass sounds especially...
Their sounds here are fantastic... I was very impressed!
I thought Sam used synthesis not samples..it was their selling point, less RAM.
these orchestral libraries need to step their game up. Bc refx has just as good of orchestral sounds and its 50-100$.

@@drvoodoo3073 Yes, I asked the same question because I want to hear another experienced person's perspective .Not sure if that bothers you? .
@@southside8551 Which part of my response makes you think that the question bothers me?
@@drvoodoo3073 My Apologies, I misunderstood you .
I've always love these libraries, they are 100% the first library I recommend
If i have symphobia 1 and 2, do i benefit getting this series?
Love and appreciate your channel ... always great substantive material and top shelf presentation - EVERY TIME!!

There is also Spitfire Audio BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover
haha was wondering same on the panning decisions :)
10:53 I like the "Titanic Action" there!

Just download the newest Native Access! I don't think it will show up in the old Native Access...
