In this video, I compare 5 Orchestra Sample Libraries, ranging from the Free BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover up to Metropolis Ark 1, which is currently available for €549 (plus VAT). I put each sample library through its paces, playing the exact same piece, with default settings, so you can get an idea of how each Sample Library compares to the others. Which one do you think is the best and which one is the best for beginners looking to build their sample library collection?
