Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Good choice of sounds for each note where we have more control over the dynamics of the instrument being used

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Great sounds. Little confusing to manipulate because the format is very different than other similar devices but like everything else it just takes time to get used to the buttons, controls, and format but this old dog can and will learn new tricks

Not too Good but no too bad , but for free it is awesome

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Amazing I love the quality of the audio it’s perfect for waltzes and it has helped me become a better composer. I use this with every song I make even if they don’t count as classical (the celeste always comes in clutch). Though the knob thing doesn’t work for me, idk if it’s important because it doesn’t do anything when I change it or click on it but I’m fine with that. Everything else being amazing makes up for that.

I really like the sounds in this library, very well recorded. I haven't tried out every single one though. Tuba: Sometimes I hear two notes when I want to play one. Brass in General: The tone has a major shift in the low register when I try playing notes that are just a bit higher. Also, the percussion is very quiet. Please fix that. Amazing library in general. Thanks for making this!

It is a very nice instrument library with an excellent range of options and a good sound quality for a free price. However, a major downside is that there is no way to get a raw sound of any of the instruments without reverb. I have also commonly encountered a glitch where exporting sounds made with this plugin out of Ableton causes the BBC Orchestra sound to cut off after only a few beats.

The sounds of the instruments are beautiful.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover is by far the finest full orchestra bundle I have found to date. From the smallest ensemble to every instrument in there, elegant and immediately usable. I tend to use my own piano(s), but this is not a problem. Dragging that horn section into R&B projects has redefined my approach there. Bravo!

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I couldn’t even figure out how to download this thing and to get it to work

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The product is good. But the sounds quality and definition is very poor in comparison whit the huge variety that spitfire sound have. May be, just improved a little would be great!! I understand that is free. But why every time free is relative to low quality? I use this for client preview or samples, but in a huge production I’ll use oblivion or native instruments or sonus score or eastwest Hollywood strings. More realistic
