These days, choosing your music software is just<\/em> as important as choosing your DAW because you\u2019re committing to learning its features and idiosyncrasies. You might think that there aren\u2019t enough differences in software vendors\u2019 offerings on the surface, but choosing the right orchestral VST for you requires quite a bit of consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we\u2019re going to take a look at the best orchestral VSTs on the market today and evaluate them with the sample-based producer in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How We Selected the Best Orchestral VST<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a generalist music producer or an enthusiastic orchestral music specialist, finding the perfect orchestral VST is a difficult task. Many of the software vendors offer music samples for you to evaluate the quality of the samples; however, the ease of use of the software and its workflow are also important to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to sample quality, we played the recordings on multiple sources and volumes, noting the audio fidelity, especially at extreme pitches and volumes. During your own evaluation, we recommend playing the samples with a focus on timbre, smoothness and realism as you adjust the pitch and volume. The instruments must be impeccably clear even at full blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next thing we evaluated was the speed of the software engine. In many cases the speed of the software is determined by the memory capacity of your machine. So, to avoid a slow-loading instrument, consider the minimum requirements of the VST. Additionally, we preferred the software instruments that were user-friendly. This means that the VSTs with great user-interfaces and simple navigation ranked higher in our evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to choose an instrument with enough instruments and samples. In our testing, a 50 GB sound library for the orchestral VST would be fine for a home studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over a dozen brands of orchestral VSTs in the market today, selecting your dream instrument is a real chore. So, to help you quickly make an informed decision, we have created an in-depth guide of some of the best orchestral VSTs in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
