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). There are two sets here – the Schwarzdorn Horns, no less than nine of them for soaring emotionally charged lines and for smaller section work, the Rotdorn Horns with just three instruments.I have posted elsewhere that I never really got along with ensemble style libraries. No library destined for epic soundtracks would ever be complete without the horns. You’ll find similar content in other libraries, but it’s so convenient to have everything under one roof it makes for a faster workflow. Instruments represented are Solo Taiko, Taiko Ensemble, Surdo Ensemble and Percussion Ensemble.
Three tubas round out the plentiful supply of very low brass.Įpic percussion libraries are not so hard to find these days, but Metropolis Ark 1 has a fine set of ensembles and individual hits built in. Originally used in Italian opera, nowadays it occasionally turns up in film soundtracks, which is why three of them are included here. Not so common in orchestral libraries, the cimbasso is a valve contrabass trombone. Lower down, the three bass trombones are no slouches either, producing sounds ranging from low, raspy roars to searing upper-register notes. Heading the brass, four magisterial unison trumpets produce a splendid sound – think Fanfare For The Common Man and you’ll get the picture.
Spitfire’s Albion is a good example, and Metropolis Ark 1 continues the trend with Finkenstein Strings (high) and Wolfenstein Strings (low).

Recording the string orchestra as high and low strings (as opposed to the traditional four sections – violins, violas, celli and basses) is an increasingly common technique in libraries where a full sound and fast results are a key aim.

As you would expect, at 160GB it’s a hefty download (75GB compressed), but if you pay extra it can be supplied on an SSD. Everything sounds loud, with dynamics starting at mf and continuing upwards to fff. Well, now it’s here in the form of Metropolis Ark 1 – The Monumental Orchestra.ĭeveloped and produced by Berlin-based Orchestral Tools, it contains a huge orchestra, choir, electric guitars, percussion, a grand piano and a drum set. Although a good many existing libraries are capable of producing loud grandiose scores, it was only a matter of time before something huge came along designed specifically for epic music production. With the increasing trend for large epic film scores and trailer music these days, orchestral sample libraries are naturally growing larger as well, to keep up with the demand.
