Samples for Structure

[mmcl]

Hi guys, I have $1000 to spend on orchestral samples. Am happy using Structure but happy to look at other instruments that come with some sample libraries. Any suggestions...?

ps: On special at the moment, EWQL Complete Composers Collection is about that...any thoughts?

I dont do orchestral composition, so bear that in mind.
Spitfire Audio,s "The Albion" look very interesting. Its a Kontakt set, £350.

If you’re planning to painstakingly recreate a full orchestral score with every small detail faithfully preserved, Albion would be the wrong tool; its broad‑brushstroke articulations aren’t designed for that, and the lack of solo instruments would be an immediate stumbling block. But if you need a palette of powerful orchestral ensembles which will inspire your writing, galvanise your scores and generally add class, sheen, size, power and depth to your orchestral armoury, the library delivers in spades.

If I had the $1,000 to spend right now on an Orchestral library, the EWQL CCC is exactly what I would get! I love how they sound. I tried out a limited version a while back, and I really liked it a lot. The Symphonic choirs alone is worth it!

Great, thanks. How did it go working with Structure?
