- Over the last couple of years, ProjectSAM have been going through the process of updating their libraries. These updates are very kindly free to existing owners and breathe life into older libraries for new users. With a great new interface, new multis, refined samples and the all-important adaptive sync, ProjectSAM are the developer that keeps on giving. Their most recent update is the all in one series, Orchestral Essentials Volumes 1+2 which promises to be everything you need to create orchestral music. To cut a long story short, they sure are, but there is so much more going on with these libraries.
Our special thanks to ProjectSAM for providing a copy of the libraries for this video.

Keep making that music!
I watched like 20 reviews of this and no one ever goes in this deep n plays different sounds. Thank you for this.
Thanks so much! :) we do try our best!
These really are great sounding instruments, with lots of useful combinations and multis for quick compositions. The value is hard to beat. Great walkthrough and demo composition!
Thank you for the great video!
Loved your presentation of both volumes. I took a bit of a different approach with my presentations and am still learning from channels like yours as to how to become better with demos.
Couldn't agree more with what you said about the value of these, especially when they were down to almost half their regular price (which we'd still have to rate as very affordable even then). The orchestra effects articulations are really life savers as they add such rich textures and moods to already great sounding instruments, it's simply phenomenal! Thanks!
I've been using those for ever in almost any composition. The free update made it even easier to use ... I love OE I & II.
Nice review with a nice Demotrack.
Thanks so much! :)
You used a word that caught my attention during your review. That word was "character," when speaking about the sampling in OE1. And I particularly get your word choice. I use Garitan Personal Orchestra 5, (I have Garritan Instant Orchestra as well) and if you are familiar with that product, would you used the same word choice with it's sampling? Or what product with the same price point as OE1 and OE2 would come close or even match the "character" as you used it initially?
Great vídeo! I'm doubt if I buy these 2, and other orquestra or strings to complete in the future (like nucleus or css), or if i go directly tô symphobia séries. This look like só much fun than symphobias.
It all depends on what you want really! These are two really great libraries for essential ensembles, instruments and articulations. With the pre-made blends/performances they are very cool! The newly updated Symphobia series are on a more grand level. More content, more articulations and of course more expensive. Of the original three, Lumina is my personal favourite. Pandora I think is incredible but as it’s so different I don’t put it with the first three! All really great libraries though! :)
Hi, as a non-Kontakt/nks person what do I need for this? Full version of kontakt? Nks is useful why? Seems you are just using a mod wheel? 77 quid did you say? Surely not. Such a great sound for such little dosh.
These both work with the free Kontakt player. Get them both. This kind of orchestral power at this price will likely never happen again.
Good!!!
Which is the best Orchestral Essentials Vol 1 or 2?
Hello! The first one is more of your bread and butter instruments and articulations. The second is more extended. I’d start with part one and look to get the second one at a later date! :)
