If this would help provide more context, my main inspiration for orchestral composing are Yoko Shimomura, John Williams, and Hiroyuki Sawano.Īlso, I was hoping for one purchase deals rather than subscription services as well. Similar to Option 2 but settle for other brands like Ample Sound. Get certain Metropolis Ark 1 Instruments only especially those not present in BBCSO Core / ARO1. So here are my options for getting the best range of tools for my money: As for the choir, I have no idea what to look for yet. I'm enjoying MTPowerDrumkit as well for my non orchestral percussion tool. Alternatively, there's Ample Sound Products for my Guitar/Bass needs (I already own some of their free Lite products which means I'll already be familiar with them if I ever decide to upgrade to premium ones). I enjoy BBCSO Core as my bread and butter symphonic library especially with the function of writing per instrument ever since I got the Discover for free before upgrading.Īpart from the loudness factor, should I still consider the Ark1 guitar, bass and choirs or should I just settle with separate libraries? I'm only waiting for the next sale before taking my shot but I'm still wondering if it's worth it. I'm only slightly bothered by the current lack of legatos in ARO1 but I'm impressed by the sound it can make especially for more cinematic options. I recently got the ARO1 from a sale, hence, I'm still discovering it's potential. However, I'm wondering if getting the whole package of Ark1 would only duplicate the tools I already have. How do you guys find Metropolis Ark 1 so far? I've been intrigued by the sheer power of the library to create loud epic music and its instrument collection.
