How Do You Choose?īefore we get stuck into exploring sample libraries, some advice on how to choose the right orchestra sample libraries for you… We would like to thank Mark Fabian, David’s assistant for helping us put together the audio demos throughout this series. Here are two examples, first, here is a clip using the EXS24… To give you a sense of the difference between the “stock” orchestral sounds found in DAW ROMplers like Logic’s EXS24 and bespoke instruments, the best way is to hear it.

To help, we asked composer David Tobin, who has many years of composing, arranging and orchestration credits in film, TV, and theatre and is a master at creating orchestral/crossover scores for advertising and commercials as well as film trailers, to use his experience and share his personal favourites, including the pros and cons of each library.īecause the market is so large, David split up the orchestra and looked at libraries that focus on a specific orchestral section, strings, brass, etc, as well as looking at some all-in-one solutions and other tools that he uses to get the sound and performance his clients depend on him for. The sheer number of companies producing top-quality software for orchestral sampling has increased substantially of late, and there are more options now for the digital composer than ever before in this ever-expanding ecosystem. Here is list of Psytrance VST Synths that I found that are popular for Bass Synthesis.įeel Free to suggest any I haven't discovered, and I can update the list.Compiling a list of the best orchestral sample libraries available becomes more and more difficult every year. Is it easy to get bored with just one? Do some of you ever get additional ones because you want a new sounds and colors? Right now I have been just using native synths inside my DAW and I am ready for something more ! Cost is not a deciding factor for me but to make this list more informative I added prices.

So i thought this thread may be a nice cohesive and current list for anyone considering a new vst synth for bass. I have researched Psytrance synths on the web for a while, some references dating back so long. With the cost of these around $150 - $200+, i want to try to get it right the first time. But there are so many to choose from and I would like to hear peoples opinions or experiences with them, maybe even examples? Of course some artists I like I have no idea what they use for Bass so, I am trying to keep an open mind before I pick a path. Right now I am leaning Serum, because of some artists i love dearly are using it, it's popularity, its sound, and its additional features besides bass.

I am finally in the market to buy a nice VST Synth for the main purpose of making Bass (and of course anything else is a plus, like leads and atmospheres).
