I recently finished several string orchestra works where I had around 20-30 Berlin Strings tracks going and never had any issues. For the record, in smaller projects, I've had no issues with CPU or memory.
#METROPOLIS ARK 1 UPGRADE#
I'm still going to upgrade to 64GB soon just so I can have some extra head-room. I can't really say how well Capsule would run on your machine, but my 12-core runs it pretty well. Any "sketches" are usually done on piano or a string-ensemble patch. I don't do "sketches." I compose concert music so everything I do ends up in front of live players thus I compose and mockup simultaneously. That said, I'm one of the few people who actually does detailed mockups from the get-go. I also had to lower my buffer setting to 512 to make it work without crashing down on me.
#METROPOLIS ARK 1 PRO#
It's almost impossible for me to work without VE Pro because DP simply can't run smoothly with that much loaded. Every single Kontakt instance sits in a local VE Pro 6 server (still on the same computer) and are decoupled from DP.
#METROPOLIS ARK 1 SERIES#
My current template has around 60 Berlin series + 30-40 other tracks across 9 or so instances of Kontakt. I am, but I've had really fine-tuned my templates to run as efficiently as possible. The CPU demands are my biggest reservation with getting BB at the moment considering I will be working with 32GB RAM for awhile.Īlso, how would you compare the sample quality of the trumpets, bones and horns between BB and Spitfire Symphonic Brass with SSB setup with more of a direct mic sound? BB sounds fantastic to me for detailed mockups, but considering Capsules's extra-high CPU demand, are you able to use it in the sketching-ideas part of your writing process where having a more streamlined articulation palette that responds quickly is important for keep the creative flow going? Can a lighter-weight palette be configured in Capsule for such situation. Thanks for weighing in, Elektroakoustika. I own Berlin Brass, Spitfire Brass, a lot of VSL's line, CineBrass Core & Pro, & Hollywood Brass Metropolis Ark I (another Orchestral Tools library w/ large brass ensembles). No release date is set, but its the next library coming from them (their Piano, Strings, and Solo Strings libraries are fantastic).Įlektroakoustika wrote:I'll jump in here. It's a continuation of his Cinematic Studio Series and is recorded at TrackDown Studios in Sydney. My strings are 1/2 Berlin, 1/2 Cinematic Studio Strings.Īnother library to keep an eye out for is Cinematic Studio Brass from the Alex Wallbank down in Australia. My woodwinds are about 1/2 Spitfire, 1/2 Berlin, and I find, with a little EQ and reverb, they can blend really well together. I have Berlin Percussion as well, but I still find myself using Spitfire's Percussion because it is so efficient and, I think, sounds better in most applications. I use the Berlin Woodwinds & Strings all the time too. I am a huge fan of Orchestral Tools libraries and highly recommend them. I am pushing the limits of my 32GB right now so much so that I'm about to upgrade to 64GB of memory to combat this issue. I also find the Tuba in Berlin Brass to be fairly weak and LOVE the CineBrass Pro Tuba.Īnother consideration is that Berlin Brass uses OT's Capsule, which is extremely powerful, but also not nearly as efficient in memory usage. For these, I use either Metropolis ARK I or Spitfire's large ensembles. There only downside of Berlin Brass is that some of the instruments don't have true FF or FFF sustains.
And the legatos are terrific across all instruments The space and recordings are just right and they have tempo-synced double/triple tongued items for each one. Berlin Brass is a wonderfully crafted library and has, by far, the best short notes of any of the libraries. Right now, my usage is 85% Berlin & MA1, 10% CineBrass, and 5% Spitfire. I own Berlin Brass, Spitfire Brass, a lot of VSL's line, CineBrass Core & Pro, Hollywood Brass, & Metropolis Ark I (another Orchestral Tools library w/ large brass ensembles).
