Orchestral Essentials Impression
Easy on ram, fast loading, ready to rock (and extra easy to add some rhythmical or even melodic phrase), great-sounding – what’s not to like? You might consider it to be an essential package in spite of the small footprint. The whole thing uses just a bit more than 5 G of disk space. It works perfectly even with a not-so-powerful computer. So, you have here an orchestra on the budget.
I’m using it on my traveling laptop for reasons explained earlier. But let me tell you that it is not useful only for that purpose. As I suggested above, if you are not an orchestra-mock-up professional, this library should work perfectly for you on any computer and for all kinds of production requirements. Add to your composition a few patterns from this collection and no one will tell you that it doesn’t sound good or realistic.
Quite useful little tool. Good job, Bestservice and Sonuscore.
