Can a free orchestral VST library sound good? // Writing 'Passage of Time' with BBCSO Discover
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 08. 2024
- The BBCSO Discover is a fabulous free orchestral sample library perfect for those starting out with orchestral writing. But how easy is it to write something with? And can it sound good? Do my skills as a programmer still hold up with a free library? How does it compare with the sound of my full template? Let's find out!

For those curious, my full template of sounds for this track consisted of a core set of samples from the East West Hollywood Orchestra, with smatterings of other libraries such as Vista Strings (Performance Samples), LCO and Albion Tundra (Spitfire Audio). Somewhat basic as templates go, but something I'm very familiar with.

Thanks for watching! I'm hoping to make more videos like this over the next year - exploring more tutorial content and sharing my process with you all. If there's anything you'd like to see, let me know! 😊
I would love to see more of your track breakdowns and how you chose what library for what job/sound.
Thank you for all the great streams.
Sorry I would also love to know about how you would/did use any extra reverb in both of the versions of the track.
that would be amazing man
This to shall pass was the first composition I heard on another YT video. Since then I've used a lot of your music like Horizons passage of time, Artemis, Soar,....... list goes on. Perfect cinematic classical songs often with a driving hook through them and about 5 to 7 mins long 👌 @DocColVideo is my channel and you can see how I use them (I got better as I went on so last ones are best. Lol).
Honestly bro, we truly don't deserve you, not only do you give us Hans Zimmer level music that are free to use but you're also educating us on how you compose it. Thank you so much for all the beautiful and inspirational music you have given us, here's to more epic music in the future.
Thanks so much :D
Why I love the music tracks so much😂
Yes, you hit the nail on the head, truly wonderful.
Your musical compositions are truly epic, Scott... and then there's your bitter-sweet classical pieces that melt my heart... Keep doing what you do, because you are that rare person... supremely gifted and generous to your fellow creatives.
Thanks Alan!
My team and I would have never finished our prototype videos without your library.
Your art instills a feeling of sadness, yet an overwhelming feeling of hope, that we simply couldn't find elsewhere. We're very excited to hear your next pieces :)
I have not used Cakewalk in YEARS.
Good to see someone still using that program.
You make amazing music. Thank you.
Hello Scott. You make an awesome work. This video is so interesting :)
I'm sure you have a lot of fans playing an instrument. Why not, one day, release music sheet of one of your music and ask the community to record their part with their instrument and send it back to you to mix everypart together ?
#etienneyitian That's such a great idea!
Your generosity, kindness and warmth honor you sir, thank you for for the joy, and the sweets.
I am definitely gonna check out BBCSO, thanks for the info. You always create meaningful music and invested well enough to inspire others. 🙌
Your music is really cool , love to hear more and more ❤
I'm very impressed by your skills. Hat off to you. Greetings from sweden :)
BBCSO Discover was my first "serious" sound library when I first got started in composing. I've since graduated to Muse Sounds, but I still use the BBCSO for specific sounds and instruments. Honestly, though, I never was able to get it to sound as good as you did here😄. Thanks for showing that trick with the timpani. I'll need to try it - it could be a game-changer. Keep up the good work my friend!
Edit: I feel your pain every time you mention legato. Just know that you're not alone.
U r best in the world
Love from India 🇮🇳
Down-to-earth, genuine, humble, highly talented man! Your music is inspiring, confident and very true. In many an opinion, one of the best composers of this age!
I am incredibly grateful indeed for your kindness and your music to use in my conservation projects. Thank you!
I love your music Thank you Scott
Awesome brother. Touch the heart and stir the soul.
Tanks scott
Usually, I'm not subscribing to "no copyright music" channel except for unlock the download link
But your channel is different, your song are great. I would like to subscribe without asked.
Thanks mate - really appreciate the feedback! :D
Greetings Scott Buckley and Family, I hope all is well. I had to run errands yesterday. It took longer than I had planned because I kept listening to your music in my car. The Sunshine and warm breeze mixed with your music made my day. It's be so much sadness and disappointments. I needed a break. Thank You.
I hope you get the break you need! ❤️
Horizon and Titan are phenomenal, truly. Digs into you and just blooms into a whole inner experience. Wow. Just a beautiful birth of music.
YOU ARE MY HERO...!!!
This video is too much worth to me. Thank you so so much for sharing your working process 🙏
And I really love your background music, DISCOVERY, which is literally my life-song.🤯
I'll be crazy happy IF you share the work process of the DISCOVERY one day!!
I'm seriously praying for that.😍❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Your channel is the holy grail for me when it comes to finding a SUPERB copyright free music. You are healing and helping with one creation at a time. Thank you Scott.
I always been amazed by the tallest of musicians.
To wright with an infinite choice of sounds in the blank canvas of silence, it's for me a superpower that I envy a lot 😅.
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work and art with us.
Your music has made such a impact on my life as an amateur content creator. What a wonderful thing to share! Thank you so much! (You also move me to tears more than anyone I know with your beautiful music.)
Just listening to your music keeps me motivated. I'm a visually impaired individual who dream of composing cinematic music. I had started learning about digital audio workstations a while back, fortunately there are daws that's accessible for blind. I would not say that it's easy because it isn't. not only would I need to learn how the program works, but I also need to learn how things can be accessible for my condition. Unfortunately most instrument library plug ins doesn't work with screen readers wich we use to navigate and select stuff on the screen. I only wish that more and more creators will make their plugins inclusive.
Great Stuff! Thanks for sharing this out..
God bless your soul and your family, Scott. I know, it's very hard to make some amazing music but then you make it for free to use. You are wonderful, Scott !!!. God bless you, Scott. Always healthy and happy. Best regard from Indonesia. Jesus love you!
I wish I could invest in material online, I'm also still learning with free resources. By the way, I love that you talk about how you work and this tutorial content.
You are incredibly talented! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
I love love love your composition 'Discovery'. We dont see much stars where I live cuz of light pollution. But the day I get to go somewhere where I can see the stars and the milky way I wanna be listening to Discovery while I cry my eyes out.
Amazing...Invaluable content here! Please do more 🙌
Beautiful Music, thanks for sharing so much information!
Thanks for sharing, Scott! 👍🏻🤩 It's great to have a chance to see behind the scene...
And Passage of Time is wonderful piece! 🥇
Thank you for composing just beautiful music !
I'm so glad I discovered your music. Your compositions make my YT drone videos look awsome and I'm always asked what the music is (despite me putting on the screen and in the description iaw your website). Keep up the good work mate and I'll continue to pimp off them! 🤣👍
This is such a good general advice video for recognising the strengths and weaknesses of any library or patch and how to make the most out of them.
You have made this free library sound amazing. A testament to your musical skills.
Hi Scott. Thank you so much for composing incredible music. It has helped me in my class project and in my last documentary. It has been a great fortune to have discovered you. Thank you for helping me in my projects :D
Your music deserves to be in some important production one day.
I like it Scott. It sounds good! I first started to use the free BBC Symphony but I switched to the Core version. Way better sounds! Keep up the good worki!
Love you, Scott, and love your work! You are a godsend for independent creators and developers!
Your music is incredible Scott and the fact you offer it for free is amazing. Been using some of it in material I'm making at the moment!
You work is amazing. Thank you so much
What a great person. Many thanks for the beautiful music.
You are awesome Scott! 🙏 🎵
What an interesting and useful video! I adore your music, and this is so inspirational for so many people. This process was all a secretive magic to me, and it's fascinating to see how this is done. But it takes a special genius to create such beautiful music. I honestly cannot convey how much you are appreciated. 💖 And this track gives me a Skyrim vibe, it's just so lovely 💚
To answer quickly to the title. Yes, it can. Scott Buckley's music is my go to choice when editing my videos. There is so much free stuff you can start up adding good music to get into video editing. At later stage you can go to paid solution or stay with Scott's music as it is already pro level music.
Thank you. This is really cool. I always wondered how to create such music. You give some concrete insights :)
You are amazing holy shit, sounds wonderful, got the goosebumps for sure!
Скотт спасибо, благодаря вам стал расти творчески. Пробую сам писать музыку.
Scott, I believe that you have a great talent, intuition and passion for what you do, and new tools only help you create a product of your imagination. You are simply the best! @Bartheezzzz
Its too good to be true, I love your music bro especially "Raverie" even it's free
Truly Heart warming
Great job. Definitely gonna try that BBCSO.
I'm 15 and composing, this will help me write orchestral music, rather than just piano music or resorting to GarageBand for multiple instruments.
Love your music by the way, it's some of the best I've ever heard.
Yep BBCSO is neato. Definitely worth the short wait. And thanks! :)
@@ScottBuckley Do you mind if I ask you a question?
How long did it take you to get this good?
This is going to sound really weird. But as a child my my favourite movie was The Wizard of us. I could watch it on repeat. It wasn’t until later in life . (Still youngish lol) but I realised it wasn’t so much the movie I was watching on repeat, it was the composer. Herbert Stothart I believe. And now I can can actually recognise his work in other movies straight away. I’d never had the feeling since. I actually really disliked orchestral music. Then I came across your work and somehow . Every single piece you put out, I’m straight away closing my eyes and I can picture a story in a story as the musics playing. It’s made me fall back in love with the music. You have this incredible talent that you just can’t learn somewhere. You just have this gift. It’s incredible. And not only that your sharing it with us. It’s so beautiful and a true a testament to your character. And yes I do remember one of earlier pieces I was thinking “good good god when is this intro ever going to end” 🤣 But honestly your so grounded. And thank you for the honour of sharing your work. If you ever need help. I might be able to help with the triangle. Lol
You are amazing! I'm in love with a song you composed called "Chasing Daylight" ... Thanks for that masterpiece. Even though i'm a Hip-Hop head by heart and soul, your compositions are truly amazing! And I can recognize great music no matter the genre.
thank you thank you thank you
Nice! The video has a interesting concept to cover too.
TU MÚSICA ES REALMENTE MARAVILLOSA, ME TRANSPORTO OTROS MUNDOS, GRACIAS Y SALUDOS DESDE VALENCIA ESPAÑA
"Can free orchestral music sound good?"
Me, subscribed to Scott: *YES, YES AND THRICE YES*
Highlander Vibes bro!!! Nice!!
Thank you 🥰
So cool! I wish you'll become a very popular composer with this quality of music.
Scott, I bought your 'Library Songs 6' album and our 6 year old goes mad everytime I play Discovery. Really interesting to see the behind the scenes stuff here, I'm a music lover/consumer, but not a creator.
Amazing video! 😊
Thanks! 😊
Much enjoyed. Yes. Please do more of these. -Spoiler: It's not the expensive libs...
Yes, the second version sounded awesome, although to my primitive ear, the first 'lite' BBCSO version had an appealingly deep resonance that was absent in the 'full' version.
Thanks for uploading👍
You're not the first to say they preferred elements of the BBCSO - which is such a wonderful commendation for it 😊
thanks alot
Oh my God
Dollars translate to sooo.much in my country, so I sadly have t make music with free vsts like edirol and Labs and now labs
I've been with discover and at times I've felt the library was just bad..even stuff I did with edirol sounded better somehow....but you're the definition of "it's the composer, not the library" I'm in awe....and I'm super excited to use discover again, I just started composing orchestral music...Thank you very much for this.....the is honestly the best I heard anyone make with discover ✨
A link to the music you've made with edirol would be awesome 👀✨
Quelle musique extraordinaire ! Merci Scott Buckley..., Merci...
Thank you good sir
Take me Away!!! Scott Buckley!!!
J'adore votre musique 🎼🎶❤🎵
Votre dernier morceau est une merveille !!! Bravo !!!🙋♀️
Scott Buckley I Love Your music this music is phenomenal , (absolutly) your music is better and better and..............better. I love that :)
Haha, it's so funny to hear you say that what you made with BBCSO was only "good," because it's still so much better than what I've made with it. It's really, really awesome to hear and especially _see_ how you emulated some of the things you would have used in other libraries for the people like me who are broke, but still want to create orchestral music.
is giving you a particular and challenging taste, being able to work with this library, correct? This means that music will come out from here that will surpass your own high level!😊
Love how this sounds! How do you even begin to write a piece like this?
Eu amo músicas eletrônica, mas infelizmente não tenho conhecimento de escrita orquestral. Achei muito interessante a performance de sua biblioteca. Grata pela informação!
Your music is really amazing, I was wondering if you could add soft female vocal to your music if that was possible, it could be simple single angelic tone
Thank you so much for this! The information you give is so well presented and so on point. I use the BBC free orchestra myself and I was wondering how a professional composer feels about it compared to more advanced (not free lol) orchestras. 🎹Could you recommend a free piano to use for piano solos? I use the Soft Piano from Labs but it sounds a bit muddy or blurry (lack of clarity) especially in the low end... it also makes my speakers vibrate a bit in an unpleasant way (I tried it on different speakers too). Thank you again! Your music is amazing! 💜
That's a good question! The Soft Piano I love, but it works best with more introspective simple stuff. I think there was a nice piano that used to come with free with the Soundpaint VST (soundpaint.com/pages/free-engine) - but I'm not quite sure if it's still the case. I also don't mind the 'Glass Piano' within Labs - has a bit more of a classical piano vibe that could be good?
As someone that has absolutely no knowledge about music, that just stumbled across this nice music and similarly nice explanation, and am now very inspired to learn how to make nice music.. Where should I even start? Can anyone recommend me some sort of nice introduction to how to make music this nice?
Hello Scott I have been fascinated by your music for quite some time I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on music composition or how you do approach music production
Sure!
This is great! Can you make the Pigstep AvM remix tutorial please
Hello. Do you have anything that sounds similar with Angelo Badalamenti "The Beach"? I'm looking for good quality background music with that tropical orchestral vibe with children/women chorus. Your work is beyond extraordinary. Thank you for everything you are doing for us the less talented content creators :). Your music uplifts any footage.
I don't think I do right now - but I'll keep that in mind for future tracks! :)
So interesting. You have a pleasant voice, have you already tried to incorporate it?
Aye there, any update on the Warden Flute music? Just curious :)
Hi Scott, a long time I do not write to you. This theme sounds spectacular. Let me do a question.,........did you finish the university? ( Send you a hug)👍
Me encanta tu contenido amigo, "Snowfall" es una instrumental que me transmite muchos sentimientos.
Gracias por crearlo 🖤
I from India and I Love You 😀
Good bro whl r u from
🙂👍
What software is this?
bbcsco Discover gang
you use cake walk?! a though you used like a really expensive daw of
Nope! I've been using Cakewalk for over 20 years! It used to be expensive, but no longer. :D
@@ScottBuckley wow! now i dont feel bad about using waveform
sir please upload devotional music
Realmente te admiro Scott, hace poco hice mi primer experiencia de video en formato documental y sin tu maravillosa música no podría haberlo concretado.
Muchas gracias!!
czcams.com/video/dVPdmnPDPzo/video.html
thank you sir but your sound is copyrighted or not i want copyrightfree sound🙄
Hello Scoot beautiful . Tg=hank you . Nice day . Kisses 🙏💖👍🥰🌍🎶
Who is watching from europe??
oh my friend how can you share all your music for free? How do you make money to pay rent?
To me the epic moment in the second version doesn't sound as epic relatively compared to the the first. I think it's missing some... contrast??
