Spitfire Audio | BBC Symphony Orchestra | Professional | Plug-in

Bring your compositional dreams to life with the Spitfire Audio BBC Symphony Orchestra Professional plug-in. This software packs 57 exceptionally sampled orchestral instruments and over 200 hours of recordings undertaken at the historic BBC Maida Vale Studios — you may recognize this as being host to such artists as the Beatles, David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix. These recordings bring together a family of expert orchestral players with a 90-year heritage of performance and recording to create an expansive library of strings, brass, woodwind, and percussion. With 468 playing techniques to choose from, 1,000,000+ samples, and 20 mix signals, you have a comprehensive library of orchestration right at your fingertips that’s ready to create cohesive orchestral landscapes. Other detailed features of this plug-in include 20 mix signals, 11 microphone positions, and five spill signals that allow professional composers and producers to intricately control their music.

The prowess of the BBC Symphony Orchestra

To create the BBC Symphony Orchestra series of plug-ins, Spitfire Audio worked closely with the BBC’s talented players and historic recording studios. Both Sweetwater and Spitfire Audio admire the values of the BBC — to inform, educate, and entertain. This collaboration between Spitfire Audio and the BBC has brought a new standard and dimension to orchestral sample libraries. Every note has been sampled with expertise at the Maida Vale Studios, which has carried a rich musical history since 1909. If you’re ready to define the future through orchestral music, then you’ve come to the right place. Plus, with aspects like Mode Switching, users can start with the Discover version of the plug-in and finish that same piece in the Core or Professional version because they are designed to be interchangeable. Welcome to the modern age of orchestral composing.

Advanced orchestra plug-in with incredible detail

The nuanced expression is genuine with the BBC Symphony Orchestra Professional edition. With 20 mix signals, you have what you need to sculpt perfectly tailored sounds to any one of your productions. Plus, 11 microphone positions give you the flexibility to fine-tune your sound whether you opt for a vintage 1930s mono mic or a modern Atmos set up for Dolby Atmos mixing. But the most attention to detail Spitfire Audio has cultivated with this plug-in is the inclusion of five spill signals. Here you can include microphones left open from other sections of the orchestra, giving you a fuller sound with added depth and dimension. Lastly, there are two stereo mixes by Jake Jackson, a well-known engineer and mixer who has worked on scores for Doctor Who, Under the Skin, and The Green Knight.
