Product details

Brand: Spitfire Audio

In partnership with BBC Studios and the world-famous BBC Symphony Orchestra, Spitfire Audio has captured what no other sample library has before: the musical synergy of a family of astoundingly accomplished players with over 90 years of heritage in performance and recording, expertly captured at London’s famous Maida Vale Studios — home of the BBCSO, and host to The Beatles, Hendrix and Bowie. Our most expansive and ambitious project to date, this landmark library is the stuff of composing dreams: strings, brass, woodwind and percussion, presented in our award-winning dedicated plugin. Core has been curated to offer a streamlined package, featuring essential instruments and the full range of articulations, with one mix signal — fully interchangeable with our Discover and Professional editions.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I love the sound. However, and I must point out that I am not a technical person at 60 yrs of age, but it has been the most difficult and frustrating download and getting it to work, isn't straightforward in my experience. Like U said I'm not technically minded but I always have problems with the Spitfire. In comparison to other libraries I have downloaded it is the most troublesome. Sorry.

I’ve only been using BBC Symphony Orchestra Core by Spitfire Audio for a few weeks and wow I don’t think I’ve ever heard a library this amazing. The depth, the sound, everything about it is just outstanding. I had also never seen a library with so many articulations. Even though I’ve only been working with it for about two weeks, I can already see how much it elevates the production quality of my mockups. I can’t wait to upgrade to Pro!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I am very impressed with how realistic the sampling is. Sounds absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately it is a challenge to make a good template in Studio one for BBC Symphonic Orchestra Core. I would like a skilled version from Soitfire! I am sure that over time I will buy BBC SO Professional. There are more options and some extra fantastic instruments that are not included in Core.

It is now my favourite plug in to create an orchestra for my symphonic metal music. The only thing I really miss are lead strings.
