I think the Spitfire BBC is a 1a type of library, so it falls kind of in between.
So, whether you go for 1b or 2a types of libraries, it depends on what you are looking to do with it, and your ressources (time and skills ect.). 2a type libraries tend to sound great “out of the box”, and can be faster to work with for certain types of library music. I tend to buy 1b, but that is because I can make it sound like 2a with processing. I like both types of sounds, but this is usually what you need to research with the libraries you consider. I think the big distinctions to notice with orchestral libraries areġ) does it lean towards a classical sound (clean, neutral, open) orĢ) does it lean towards a more epic sound (bold, loud, compressed), andĪ) has it room/ reverb baked into the samples orī) are the samples dry (so you easier can add your own reverb). But honestly I have been doing instrumental tracks for a while now and I increasingly feel the need for having something at my fingertips to bring in orchestral sounds that sound 'legit' (or - coming back to the Taxi mantra - that a qualified user can make sound legit without agonising over it due to a horrible interface/GUI etc.). I am looking for an all-rounder (and I guess that statement alone qualifies me for being a total ignorant ). Thanks Kolstad! Really appreciate your thoughts and I'm glad you're putting your thumbs up for Spitfire. It also depends on what type of music you are looking to do, so make sure your purchase fullfill a real need, as any of these VI's will require a lot of work to sound natural, even though the samples sounds great.
METROPOLIS ARK 1 VS ALBION ONE SERIES
Other contenders could be Orchestral Sounds Ark series, and the Cinematic Studio Series libraries. ProjectSam also comes out with their Symphobia 4 this October, but that will probably work the best in tandem with the other 3 Symphobias. Mixing Spitfire libraries with others can be tricky due to their special room sound, but when everything is in one package, that sort of bypasses that problem. BBC is all about natural sound, so I think it will be a great starting point to work with in a daw. Getting those things seperately will rob you blind, and you will even struggle to blend the different libraries when mixing.
METROPOLIS ARK 1 VS ALBION ONE FULL
It's very reasonable (and even more so with Spitfire's educational discount) for a full orchestral package that has solo strings, full orchestra as well as plenty brass, ww and percussion. Yeah well, I need a bigger computer and SSD drive space, but when I get to that next summer, I definitely will get the BBC orchestra.
