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. It does not store any personal data.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.

(and yes, I did copy this from the Ark 1 page, because I feel the same about both.) That’s probably harsh, but there was no way to take off one half a star!įor the money I can not imagine a much better way to learn to use these libraries. There is no solution, they can’t very well include setting for every known reverb plugin, but it was a bit of an obstacle, so I took off one star. It is a lovely reverb, but I do not own it, so I had to substitute, which took some time. One caveat – the projects use EW Spaces for reverb. I prefer one track per instrument and using CCs to switch articulations, and one exercise will be to see if I can translate one to the other. I’m even beginning to understand why one would make that choice. Side note – the projects are arranged with a single articulation per track, which is one way to do things. You know you are starting on the right foot.Īt the moment I am still figuring out how he is using different articulations and controllers – which is key I think. So product specifics – the first thing that strikes you is that when you load the project it sounds a lot like the demo, and at least some of the differences are due to the difference between compressed and non-compressed audio.

In fact I am not only picking up ideas for production (which is the goal) but I am also getting a few pointers about harmony and composition. Almost like sitting over the composer’s shoulder.

I am not there yet, but I find the two Ark projects to be remarkably revealing. I have no idea what made me think I could learn, but I am – learning. It is a more comfortable setting for me.Īnd yet I absolutely love the sound of Orchestral Tools and Project Sam libraries – so I bought a few, and struggled, and eventually moved them to an off-line drive to make space for other stuff. I just do not think that way, I grew up working with real instruments, and later multi-sampled (for lack of a better term) libraries where I had control over each section (or even each player). I have posted elsewhere that I never really got along with ensemble style libraries. Disclaimer – this is almost an exact copy of my review for “Born to Protect” which features Ark 1.
