Could be an investment rather than your be all and end all orchestral solution. It's all derived from VSL though, so it's pretty decent. No section woodwinds, and solo woodwinds lack vibrato. Sounds pretty good tho.Īnd then there's Kontakt itself, comes with a moderate palette of orchestral stuff. Not sure it has a traditional setup, I think it relies more on group patches. Not sure if it has the traditional setup though? no experience with it myself but it's a newer library. May be worth a look? Website is kind of horrendous. I'm a big fan of his Concert Brass and Concert Strings. Pretty much never on sale, so you can buy it whenever. E-licenser is slightly less annoying than iLok. Vienna SE is a dry sound, I definitely like the woodwinds. No dongle, and if you wait 6 months tops you're almost guaranteed IK Multimedia will put it on sale. Philharmonik is old, but better than Garritan I think. The big point in this one's favor is the concert hall ambiance, if that is important to you. Also, iLok, inefficient sample player, possibly shitty customer service. Edited Augby KanthosĮWQL can be good, not so much if you don't want the wet concert hall sound. If you're at all interested, let's talk general opinion is that you can get higher-quality sounds by picking up the right selection of individual libraries than by going for an all-in-one orchestral package.

The only real drawback would be what happens if you have a NI account with other products on it already, but we could probably make something work I'd also consider trading my NI account for yours plus some cash if you have a (non-ultimate) version of Komplete, or even just Kontakt. I don't know enough to recommend any orchestral or sectional library in particular over any other, but depending on your budget (and I'm certainly willing to negotiate too), you could walk away with my NI account and get Komplete 8 Ultimate, Spitfire Albion & Percussion, LA Scoring Strings, and Project SAM Orchestral Brass, plus (or separately), I have the VSL SE Winds. That said, I'm going to point out some stuff I'm selling.
If she REALLY has a good reason to only consider Garritan or EWQL, she can certainly tell us all what that is until then, I and almost everyone else want to make sure she's not so focused on solution x that she misses the superior solution y.
The real question here, I'd assume, is "What samples do I need, based on my computing power and budget, to make video game OSTs" unless there's some good reason (which, if there is, GSO hasn't told us) to ONLY focus on one of these two options, suggesting that someone explore a few other choices isn't a bad thing.

This happened a few times when I was trying to figure out how to best use my new keyboard in my live keyboard rig comments like those you consider unhelpful showed me a better way of doing things, and the end result is better because I listened to what others had to say, even though they weren't answering the specific question I asked them. I personally have run into situations where I'm asking for help on how to get some detail right in order to do solution x, when solution y is the better solution and I just didn't know about it.
Maybe you're different, but in my experience, most people would rather have the best answer, even if they asked the wrong question. Why does everyone feel the need to recommend products outside the context of the question? I'm sure she asked between Garritan and EWQL for a reason.
