Get Metropolis Ark at a Discounted price: Since I've been asked this quite a lot these days, here's my take on why Metropolis Ark 1 is the best orchestral library for what I do, and which library you should get between Ark 1, 2 and 3 if you write Loud Orchestral Music. All these require training and learning to develop the ear and knowledge and palette so that you can be a better arranger/producer/composer. One of the points I'd like to illustrate in this video is that if used well, stock Logic can also sound pretty good - I like how it turned out, even compared to the more expensive libraries! Of course, you get much more flexibility with subsequent each tier of pricing, but no matter how good the sounds or how many articulations you get, nothing can substitute for learning how to layer sounds and use different textures and colours to create something that evokes feeling. Watch the video and let us know in the comments what you think of Library A, B, C and D before you find out which ones are which! This way, we can objectively compare the various sounds for each library. For the comparison, we arrange 4 versions of the same song - Brian Tyler's cue for Now You See Me.

This video is not sponsored by Spitfire - we actually use them for professional media composing work.

We compare 4 orchestra libraries, ranging from free (stock Logic Pro X sounds) to $49 (Spitfire BBC Discover) to $449 (Spitfire Albion One) to $1699 (Spitfire Symphonic Orchestra).
