Spitfire Audio's BML Brass Libraries vs. Cinebrass
(I posted this in the "software" forum, but I can hear a pin drop in there, so I thought I'd come to where there are actually people breathing)
Hello everyone,
First I want to apologize because I know these types of questions get asked and answered all the time, but since everything is so expensive, I'd like to hear the opinions of people I trust. This forum and its users have always been extremely helpful.
Over the past year I've been steadily upgrading my sample libraries, but the best brass that I have is what's in Garritan's Personal Orchestra. So, I'm in the market for a brass library. I really love 8Dio's products (I own all of their Adagio strings and their Claire flute, clarinet, oboe, and bassoon), but they unfortunately don't have any brass instruments (outside of their CAGE Brass, which is more an effects library). Using the GPO brass alongside the 8Dio stuff really exposes the difference in quality. Since I have no idea if or when they will be releasing their solo brass instruments, I'm looking into the other major virtual instrument makers' brass selections. I've heard good things about both Spitfire Audio's BML Brass libraries and Cinebrass Core and Pro, but I'm looking for other people's opinions on these two products. Keep in mind that I intend to use them with my 8Dio strings and woodwinds instruments, so their ability to play nice together will factor into my decision.
Have any of you used either of these products (or something else that you found really good) and could give me your opinion?
I appreciate it! Thank you!
P.S. I work mainly a video game music composer.
