In my extensive test and real world use, these libraries mentioned sound better and simply out perform their correlating sections in the BBCSO. To clarify some points: the libraries I prefer for brass are Junkie XL Brass, Cinematic Studio Brass, and 8dio’s Century Brass, while the libraries I prefer for woodwinds are Berlin Woodwinds, Spitfire Symphonic Woodwinds, and VSL Synchron-ized Woodwinds and the ensembles from VSL SE Vol 2. If I simply ignore these promises and don’t judge it on its merits compared with the other libraries on the market, that, to me, is not an honest evaluation. Remember: Spitfire promised a game changer, something that will benefit every composer on the planet, and delivers a sound and ease of use better than anything you’ve tried before.

The biggest thing I want people to take away from this review, is the fact there are better options, but you’ll end up spending more (which is also why I specifically state it’s a GREAT VALUE). There’s some amazing content, but there’s also some mediocre or flat out bad content. This couldn’t be further from the truth, as I do NOT hate the product and really tried to be balanced and fair in this review.

I’ve also noticed a select few people have had a very defensive and extreme reaction to my thoughts about this library, some going so far as to personally attack me and insinuate I am making stuff up just to bash the product.

I will certainly re-evaluate the entire library and plug-in performance after I install said updates. Update : Spitfire has announced a 35gb update to this library, adding muted brass among other things, and hopefully optimizing the plug-in further.
