Sample Library & Mixing/Mastering Discussion

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if there are any recent purchases that any composers here have made that have change the way you have made your template of choice, whether if it's orchestral or electronic music focused or a hybrid of both? Hope everyone is doing well during these crazy times?

yes - see my post below on EWQL

I recently got Spitfire BBCSO and am navigating through using their awesome (free) template for the first time. It's nice to have it as a starting point. It's even useful for folks NOT using BBCSO as you can plug in your own instruments to the template.

I am finding some gaps in the BBCSO library however (some percussion like bell/mark trees, and brass muted insts, and woodwind runs) but nothing that can't be filled fairly inconspicuously with EWSO (which I've owned for years) or EWHO (via CC) for the brass FX.

Also, it wasn't a recent purchase per se, but I did recently set up a fresh template to kinda force myself to get acquainted with Spitfire LABS (freebie) library - I've shared the Logic template for free on my website in case you want to play around with those sounds: https://www.donalrafferty.net/product-page/logic-pro-x-template-for-spit...
