NOICE!!!

Yeah...  everything sounds really good.   Though somewhat subtle, I like the mic choices.    Heck, I could probably spend a day just playing with the runs and flourishes. 

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Knew I'd love it.... adding the CC controllable vibrato is icing on the cake... direct from their high end BML line....
oh, and dem runs.....   just lovely!
 
The V.I. Control discussion, oooozing love is here... 
 
This IS the ONE!
 
Just pre-ordered... $227.17 with the exchange rate at the moment...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaybe it's time to retire my trusty old EastWest orchestra...

Don't retire EW, supplement your existing libraries by adding Albion One.
I layer libraries, my templates are made up of a dozen or so different libs made by different companys.
Some work better than others (or together) for different projects or situations.

 
Guyz question , do we have all albion 1 sounds ?  (so i can uninstall the albion 1)

I don't know yet.
Since Albion One is being re-tooled from Albion I / Retired I'm guessing they will be 2 separate libraries- 'Albion One' & 'Albion I Legacy'.

Zo...No! These are two separate libraries...a few legacy patches have been retained which are listed in the articulations list. All new drums, brunnel loops, and an entire eDNA engine full of insane tweaks ( you have eDNA so you'll understand) and a much larger all new orchestral sample set...100+ players vs 50ish.

I hope they'll add a bunch new ostinatums but this isn't mentioned anywhere

If you are space limited you can always move A1 to an inexpensive external usb3 drive also useful for backing up songfiles.

Project M...agree with Carl... For example, ur EW has solo instruments while One is only ensemble...ie, groups/of players...

If course a lot depends on what you do...i rarely touch ew stuff anymore but for those sorrow filled violins, gypsy or platinum is perfect...

I find it interesting that I find this video link on the Sonar software forum, in spite of the fact that I am a relatively new Spitfire customer, there is no email yet, and on the Spitfire site the video link button for Albion One is still dead.
 
Thank you Carl for this You Tube link, and as always, thank you Cakewalk, for allowing this Software forum, and Sonar forum users for keeping me in touch with this information and further developments.
 
Now, is it my imagination ? . . . or does the new Albion One actually sound better than the older Albion Vol 1 ?
