ProjectSAM Orchestral Essentials Sample Library

This is a great orchestral blanket to have and expand upon but don't expect this to be the only thing you will ever need. My only real disappointments with this package are that some of the round robins are only 2 samples, each of the 3 legato instruments are paired ( I would have rather they be solo instruments) and the legatos are only 1 dynamic layer, other than that it is a very expansive library and the sound quality is very big and bombastic.

Sound quality and playability of all patches are great and readily usable in hollywood style game/tv music scores. However at $399 it is not worth it - because comparable libraries give you a lot more content (albion, east west orchestra etc.) and sound just as good.

This package is good for 4-5 songs, after that all songs are going to sound the same. I also think it's too darn expensive for a couple of sounds, I give it 3 stars for this. I would like it more if it was recorded in HI-FI!
