I don't really know how many of you are interested in music production and samples. But if you are, I found a great thing just today. I have spent more than 2000 EUR on orchestral sample libraries in last 2-3 years as hiring an orchestra costs thousand times more and not really possible most of the time.
Most bands I work with usually send absolutely rubbish strings/ woodwinds/ brass tracks ( using free sample libraries like VSCO etc.) and I have to replace those with EastWest or Symphobia or Albion libraries ( those are very expensive and I have to carry 3-4 SSDs all the time everywhere as these are HUGE in size)
Since I am down with Covid, thought of finishing up some pending projects and was looking for some free but decent string libraries ( as I am not carrying all those SSDs) and came across " Layers" from Orchestral Tools ( a really high end orchestral sample company, used in many movie/ TV series soundtracks...but those libraries are really HUGE...500GB for the woodwinds section only...and very very expensive)
However the "Layers" is completely free and absolutely top notch in quality. I have only downloaded the near mic samples and they sound phenomenal!!
Anyone in music production should get this free library, hands down the best free orchestral sample library by far ( Spitfire Labs are great but this belongs to a different tier altogether) I will possibly sell off most of the commercial library licenses after going back and try to recover some cost.
Anybody with a midi keyboard should download this gem, even if you are producing for TV commercials or smaller projects, or simply make music as hobby.
