#Native instruments metropolis ark 1 series#
do you need to tinker with reverb etc just to get it sounding good with their own products too? I have all the Arks and Berlin series *except* strings, would this fit decently along with the strings from Ark?Īctually you are correct it was not recorded at Teldex, it has a different sonic footprint from other OT libraries as well.Īs Guy mentions the difference is the run builder, we are not talking just scale like runs up and down though they have that too. I understand that OSR was not recorded in Teldex like their other libraries anyway. There is no tool like OSR, that I have found, the question is whether you will find a way to have it match sonically in your template since you have no other Orchestral Tool libraries. I don't feel an urge to buy them, but they do sound gorgeous. I will probably spend some time listening to demos of the Inspires over the next couple of weeks. The Arks, on the other hand, would be useful if I were writing more fantasy or epic stuff, which I am not, at least not at the moment. I think if I did not have the Project Sam libraries Inspire would be an easy purchase. Now MA2 and MA3 are almost within reach, as are the Inspires. I listened to demos of the other Arks and the other Symphobias till my ears fell off, and ended up with Project Sam because I think they are a little less pigeon holed - MA is fantastic for epic sounding themes, where Symphobia covers a wider range, at least to me. Once I started working with MA1 I was able to go back and make use of the rest of them.Īt which point I wanted to expand the palette a bit. In fact, I had only Lumina, OE1, and Albion 1 when I tried MA1. I own Albion ONE, all three Symphobias, and yet it was Metropolis Ark 1 that finally unlocked the concept of working with ensembles as opposed to working with instruments or sections.
