![]() It should be noted that it is of prime importance to make sure your computer specs either meet or exceed the expectations of the software requirements. Instead I will concentrate on the "all-in-one" kinds of libraries that a composer will need in order to make entire orchestral mock ups. Since this is mostly a site dedicated to orchestral compositions both small and large I will omit the smaller instrument dedicated libraries and save that discussion for another time. Thankfully there are sound libraries priced at points much more attractive to the budding composer that faithfully reproduce a good facsimile of the instruments. Much of this depends on the composers personal standards with respect to the quality they demand for their work. Many notation programs offer sometimes passable included soundsets or the capability to mate the notation program to a DAW which is in my option, the best of both worlds if you write notation. DAWs offer more flexibility here over the end result of the sound in particular. Thankfully there are products that fill the gap between those libraries and soundfont/rompler kinds of sounds that often just sound cheesy and unrealistic when coupled to a composition you have worked hard to make.Some of your choices might be limited to either use of a DAW for composition or notation software. ![]() This is the beginning of a long expensive road to acquisition of everything needed for large scale orchestra composition using these libraries.Some companies have started a monthly rental fee to make using these libraries more attractive to more composers. These beginner packages often don't offer enough capability for serious composition. Though it should be said that most of the better sample library companies offer entry point software, sometimes for free in order to get you started. These libraries are often priced in ranges that make them prohibitive to the beginning composer or even a more seasoned composer who isn't presently funded in any way for their work. ![]() If you are a professional movie composer you likely have quite an investment in computers and detailed sample libraries.
