Complete Orchestral Collection (Peter Siedlaczek)

[wizzarts]

Hello everybody,

I just found out that there is a good Sound-library for a more than fair price (145,- GBP / 179,- Euro)

Complete Orchestral Collection is a brand new compilation of all Peter Siedlaczek libraries ever released by Best Service. This new product combines Peter Siedlaczek´s String Essentials 2nd Edition as well as the well known Complete Classical Collection 2nd Edition in one Kontakt Player 5 instrument with 26 GB of umcompressed sample content and more than 2800 Kontakt instruments.
As a special bonus we added String Tools - a collection of newer released chords, excerpts and moods from an almost forgotten secret project.

This might be a good expansion to the given Sibelius Sounds.

Just to let you know...

Seems okay for the price Andy but I am, as always , skeptical about how it would work with Sibelius. I have tried to get EWQL (as you know) to work easily but have still not managed.

[wizzarts]

It works just fine with Sibelius. You will need to create manual soundsets but this is quite normal in Sib being that only Sib-sounds run perfectly with auto-load.

When I got some more time the next weeks we should check your settings to improve EWQL playback.

How do these sounds compare with what comes bundled with Sibelius, and also East West.
Would you say they are about as good as East West Silver, being a similar price.

[wizzarts]

QL SO is much better but has not even the half of all the instruments packed in this bundle.

The only advantage of the Sib-sounds, in fact Garritan, is, that all instruments you can think of are included.

But you also can hear for what price.

The best way is to check the audio-demos provided on the homepage. (Link see above)

In my opinion you should think of what you what to do. Even the Platinum edition I got has its lacks. There are ie. no jazz-trumpets etc. And the Goliath has no good articulations coming along with the jazzy stuff.

Once you started with a high-quality library filling the gaps can be very expencive.

I thing the EastWest-Stuff is outstanding and to get a allround-library you will need to add Gypsy, Ra and the Chris Hein Horns Pro.

Just my experience.
