The way he ran in the beginning is the same way I ran to my laptop when he mentioned the free free
i did exactly the same thing :)
Michael Hedam 4 weeks later after i filled out the Free version questionnaire i still haven’t heard from spitfire
200 MB sounds like the best marketing strategy I've ever heard of.
is that a joke? I dont get it? its less than one instrument from Labs wtf so whyis it good then
@@Gumboyaya i just downloaded mine it's so strange, it's completely there in that small package... i notice that there's not as much velocity layers but everything's there, and i have to say the brass and percussion are especially nice for such a small plugin... i do have my quips with the violins though, the lack of layers really shows
@Marx Man Are you really comparing sampletank and kontakt libraries? ahahhsehehehehehshshs i have a solo cello library which is 2 times bigger than sampletank itself lol
The questionnaire was actually pretty fun to fill out. Had a few cheeky things snuck in there that made me grin.
Yes - it was different from the usual surveys. Can't wait for the sounds to arrive!
I wonder what responses they got about "What does BBC mean to you" hahahaha
@@AidenWrenPierce Big Beautiful Concerthall
Haha
Does Guy count as an old man with a beard and a smelly jumper?
@@trevan5035 Yes!
Your personality is infectious. Lovely explanation of this program as well 💜
Spitfire is just..the best. Wouldn't have dreamed of being able to get these sounds for FREE?! otherwise. One day, I'mma buy their full-sized packages cause they so deserve it.
Feeling that if I have a grandpa like him I will be with him everyday!!!!!!!
I'm Dutch, so yeah... 'FREE' always gets my attention.
No just kidding. One: I don't have the money for good libraries and Two: I'm an absolute fan of Spitfire Audio!
I am dutch too man, i am a beginner so I dont want to rush for now. So i use free libraries like spitfire labs and on my opinion, its too amazing how good those libraries sound for free.
Bruh i'm spanish and "FREE" totally gets my attention 🤣
Same here :D
gratis :))))) hey fellow dutch
Goedkoper dan korting!
I’ve been furloughed so have filled in the questionnaire, as soon as I’m back to work I’m paying the 49. Thank you Spitfire Audio!
I'm retired, and waiting now, for 12 days, but I have decided on the strength of this video alone, that if i can sell a guitar, then i will hopefully get the Core. Then i can put the small version on my old laptop and Core on my iMac, then use the crossover between the two. Damn. I didn't want to spend any more money, but....
GAS strikes!
Good man! It should be free only for those who can never afford it! If you ask me, the form should filter all 1st world countries out of the "for free deal"...
@@zaharishtonov "first world" countries contain plenty of poor folks, or hadn't you noticed? ever been to downtown Los Angeles? plus, you don't think companies should ever give anything away, even as a promo (like this is)?
Hey man, either way! Keep your head up.
@@PeterJaquesMusic - I live in LA. This is an entirely different set of problems we are dealing with for the homeless people here... But that's OK. A free library is a free library. I praise Spitfire for making it available to everyone. I just hope there are more contributions as the money will directly support the BBC Orchestra musicians.
You see this kind of generous offer from Spitfire is a Godsend to me, I have no musical training and very little musical knowledge, but I have an idea of what sounds good and with things like this I can put things together that sound acceptable to me and other people are impressed, Thank you in advance Spitfire
I love Guy's energy and humour. It's awesome to have someone like him sharing both his knowledge and thoughts like this.
As a complete novice hobbyist - I mean, haven't even produced one decent song yet (work leaves me time to watch your videos, but not enough to work on these hobby skills much, yet) I'm so awed and excited about this. My impression from your videos is that Spitfire is the very best, and the idea that, with dedicated effort, by early attempts will sound as good as they can due to this generous offering... It's so very exciting. :) Thank you for the news and the introduction. :)
Relatable, cuz same here
'Serious' composers will eventually want to upgrade (hence: $$$) so this is a nifty marketing idea by Spitfire. In the understatement of the year, this is a pretty generous deal. Nice gesture, Spitfire--and thank you Guy, for this video.
Serious composers will be interested in advanced instrumental techniques, not " cinematic " music.
@@EdgardoPlasencia yea they already got a Orchestra of their own
Some of those sounds gave me goose bumps and I had to close my eyes. I just got lost in how beautiful they are to my ears! Very impressed. Thanks for sharing this!
I think this is a fantastic thing for them to do, having a high profile cheap/free orchestra library is really going to open the gates to people like me who were previously priced out.
6:05 he ALMOST accidentally played Saria's song!!!
I wonder if he knows that song
Imagine if he finished the melody for saria song without knowing it, what are the chances???
lol I noticed the exact same thing but didn't expect someone to point it out in the comments :D
Great catch 👏
as you are such an inspiration for me and MANY others.. ever thought of a an autobiography..?... or one episode/video showing how you reached where you are?? thank you for your videos and effort :)
you are welcome - a. bit busy for an autobiography!
@@ThinkSpaceEducation You're 'not dead yet' Guy (sorry Mr Collins)! And neither am I, although I am old enough to remember your TV days. 'A certain age' perhaps :)
Thanks so much, Guy. Hope you’re enjoying the sunshine. Battling Mac issues at the moment, so this has cheered me up immensely. Also looking forward to your other videos this week. ❤️
Bad luck -Ive been there!
I got the core library due to cost and it is amazing. I will cross grade to the full BBC library later in the year. Ten minutes after using the BBC Core I started getting rid of a bunch of past VST orchestral libraries that no longer cut the mustard. The BBC Library is amazing. As always thank you for the video.
I've waited 2 weeks and this morning I got5 it.
It's absolutely fabulous BBCSO Discover
I watched this video. I bought The Core. Now I'm glad that I watched this video and bought The Core.
Such a versatile and good quality library!
Paid the 49 Euro for Discover. Just because to support this awesome work from Spitfire and to support the musicians. And, if I update to core, the 49 Euro count on the update price. Absolutely worth it.
And again, thank you for the introduction, looking forward on your vids on how to build a tune from scratch...
Cheers
Last night while folding my washing I overheard a soap opera on laundromat's TV and the music sounded SO familiar... the thought came to me, "Guy Michelmore must have taught that composer".
Thank you so much for this overview! I personally didn't even expect free libraries to have so unbelievably high quality.
You might be the loveliest reviewer of sound tech I've ever come across, thanks for the exhaustive critique here - super useful!
Thanks for the demo Guy, top notch. Your inspiration have made me want to start using these kind of libraries. And THANKYOU Spitfire!
The problem I have with Spitfire products in the past is that their libraries hesitate too much during play.
That and many others in their forums complain about installation issues.
I hope this Discover has circumnavigated around the issues with this release especially since the BBC has their name on the product.
Great sounds.
Well done Guy.
I installed Discovery on my internal HDD on my MacBook Air and with my AKAI MPK mini MK II I have the ideal solution for "orchestral scoring to go"! Fantastic!!!
thank you so much for turning me onto spitfire... i've downloaded most of the Labs and it's given me so much inspiration. filled out the survey and am eagerly awaiting this one too! once i've got work again (i'm a performing musician mostly, and the summer is a total bust) i'll definitely be picking up some of their paid libraries!
Guy, there is no other word to describe but...DYNAMIC. For my money, you are the 'go to guy' for movie compositions, you are my hero 👏👏👏👏
First time watching this guy..
Absolutely love his enthusiasm
I love it! I did the survey and waited 2 weeks. Definitely worth it. I also got their Originals series and definitely has changed my life.
Easiest question in Spitfire's questionnaire was about my favorite RUclips's musician Channel...😉😉😉
I love you’re enthusiasm, completely infectious. I just downloaded this today and can’t wait to get stuck in. Thanks to your intro it’s less daunting now!
I took the plunge and just went straight for the Pro version because you get all 3 (Disco, Core and Pro) - I sketch out with either Disco or Core depending on the complexity of the music and can then send it to Pro to tweak and get that epic sound happening. The good thing is that if you switch from Core to Disco with an articulation not contained in Disco it will create a simulated version of that. For example a Legato line in Core and then I send it to Disco it will create a simulated version of that legato sound (identified by a ~ symbol)... Same also for Pro to disco. Meaning I can go out, sketch something on my laptop in Disco, send it to Pro to add or correct articulations etc.. then send it back to the laptop with those Simulated articulations for more work etc.. Utterly brilliant!
i love your "classes" as it inspires, motivates, amuses and teach us. İm so glad i found your channel!
To say some things about this spitfire packs, its a very heroic move of spitfire audio to introduce orchestra to newcomers or young folks. İm 17 and making music is just my hobby, so i got this one for free and im impressed for how much you get for just taking on a survey.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart for bringing these videos!
First of all, just found your channel, you're brilliant, love your energy and passion. Wish I had a music teacher like you back in the day. Easy subscribe!
I really admire what Spitfire are attempting here. Yes, of course, they want to make money (and they surely will), but really there's massive educational potential with this model. It's very easy to be cynical about this, but here in the UK, music teaching is massively underfunded. This goes some way to start democratising orchestral music education, and we can all be behind that surely? If I had this sort of tool available in school, over 25 years ago now, I wouldn't have lost interest and my path in life might have been considerably different.
I was tempted by the original BBC SO on its release but couldn't justify the huge cost in the end. This gives people the opportunity to dip their toe in, and upgrade if they so wish. If I'm happy with Discover when I receive it, I'm certainly seriously thinking of upgrading to Core.
Consider who this is aimed at. Is it perfect? Probably not, but now with the Core option, it's become a much more appealing prospect. I can do "epic" stuff with other libraries, but this is very much for budding composers in the music tech world who want to produce something a bit more traditional, and all in one library.
By doing the survey, they get great marketing information so even if you want the free version, they at least get the data.
Sounds great! Someone released templates for Logic and Cubase I believe. For those interested...
Any idea where you can get these juicy templates?

what the heck the horns sound better than ones I've paid for rip
@impr0visati0n East West Hollywood Brass
EastWest feels like a rip off sometimes... they are not bad libraries, but they get off selling their libraries for insane prices and the quality feels cheap compared to some cheaper libraries
I got the free orchestral set - and then immediately bought the $29 Cinematic Percussion, because it was so nice.
Thanks for doing this Guy. I discovered your channel a couple of weeks back and it has inspired me to get back into producing music. Bought myself a midi keyboard this weekend and I'm looking forward to getting into the swing of things.
Ok, now I go and grab my 1986 laptop to see how far it'll take me.
Maybe it’ll take you to the rubbish tip 😂😂😂
A 200mb sample pack vs a 128mb ram with a little cpu pc, i want to see the smoke coming out of that thing🤣
In 1986 memory was managed in Kb not Mb!
Please do a little tutorial/showcase of the Superman theme! It's in my opinion one of the best movie themes EVER. I saw superman II as a child in the cinema with my mother. I will never forget it.
i love how he runs into the roon. this old dude can boogie
I put you [Guy Michelmore] as my musical hero in the survey because why not. Thanks for the tip!
Me too!
A comparison between spitfire BBC SO Core and audio imperia nucleus would be awesome
Yes good point
@@ThinkSpaceEducation That would be great! Thanks in advance :)
Dude I love your reviews on plug ins. I feel like it’s a very honest approach at reviewing! Thank you for that! Always got me up to date with the best sounding plug ins!
Remember the questionaire filled out... They asked about the source of my idea and of course it was you! Thanks for your inspiraton! It´s absolutely fantastic
Thank you!
Thanks for this series! I'm a hobbyist only and downloaded Discover but was hoping to find some guidance on the real-life differences between the paid versions. Sounds like it's worth installing and using so I'm going to do that today after I watch the rest of your episodes.
8:14 I love the genuine applause to the guys at Spitfire. I totally agree.
Hello Guy! Thank you very much for this entertaining introduction into these amazing products of spitfire. I've just ordered DISCOVER and I'm super excited to working with it! 🙏👍
OMG Your studio is so amazing! I'd love to have glass all around and the view of nature damn Guy!
I like your explanation of orchestra libraries where you said that it is good when libraries are recordered in one room.
It was one of the reasons why I bought this library as soon as it was avaliable! =)
Makes a huge difference. So much easier to mix
...Spitfire Audiotastic...!!! Guy, thank you so much for another superbly inspiring and infectiously enthusiastic presentation of this incredible development to open up the süperb BBC Symphony Orchestral libraries to an even greater audience to get cracking composing...!!!
I'm really wondering how Spitfire audio is free. Their expressive strings are so amazing as well as their bells and other sounds. I'm honestly gobsmacked.
If my studio looked like that wow wow I'd be holed up in there for months
Excellent video Guy as always, love your patter reminds me of home! Also downloaded your cubase template, thank you for spending time creating it. I can now jump straight in and 'play' with the BBC orchestra.
The bell "bing" thing! made my day. Thanks Guy! Love your videos and your enthusiasm. Can't wait to see the other vids.
This one is great. Even the Discover version offers so nice sounds!
Can't wait for the two videos... 👍
I filled in the survey a couple of days ago as I can wait. I'll have a new (my first) midi keyboard by then, so it'll be ideal.
The survey was decent and related, although a couple of questions 'forced' an answer that really wasn't applicable or what I would have chosen.
I put Guy down as the YT'er that I watch. So there is that. :-)
Thanks Guy, can't wait for the follow up, short and right to the point, never realised how good this was and never used an orchestral library in my life! But now, well you have sold it to me, I'm hooked, not sure wether to thank you or not! 🤔 No only joking! Love it and so glad I found your bits on RUclips
Thanks for the heads-up, Guy! I'm excited to dip my toes into using an orchestral library!
I picked up core the other day and I absolutely love it. I'm so glad they rebranded thier BBCSO this way.
Yes, yes, yes !!! I was waiting for this.
I'll be doing a full scoring video later in the week but wanted to get this quick first look out today. Also Im doing a live chat with Spitfire engineer in Chief Jake Jaskcson tomorrow (Tuesday 12th May) at 5pm UK time
me too, was about to comment the same ^^
@@ThinkSpaceEducation Thank you !
Yeah, me too!
oh, wait. I thought he was talking about LABS.
I am seeing this one for the first time.
What a beautiful place you have, a lot of hard work and dedication. It really shines through! ! Thanks for the upload :)
you're welcome!
Great, never had an orchestral library. This will be fun to mix around with.
it is
discovered you a few weeks ago, and i'm already a fan.i'm a long time musician, and starting to write music. Your are an inspiration to me, and can't wait for the new video with discover ! wish that one day, i'll come and work for you for free :)
HOLY COW!!! 600GB for the Professional. Most PCs doesn't have that much space.
Just fantastic Guy. I will have to get this. Look forward to your next session.
Sweet! Thanks guy. And spitfire :) you guys are the best. Especially during these times when I have time to use all this stuff.
That is a beautiful room.
Hey Guy! Not been a subscriber for long but loving the channel. Thanks for this video and done their survey. Gave you a mention in it! Cheers!
thank you!
Marvellous. Thank you for drawing my attention to this 😂- all the way to the "bank"
First of all, thank you for a great and informative video. Second, would you share your setup with us. I would like to know about your keyboard, midi controllers, mixers, etc.
I waited 2 weeks and got my free copy! Can't wait to try it out at the weekend.
Just found this channel and I love it. Such good energy!
wow look at that studio! so much sunlight that's awesome
Whoa OMG, it seems like a crime not to get this one. And i haven't even made music in decades!
I have dabbled in this type of orchestration for a year or two. Hoping to do more of this in the future. Guy has been very inspirational for me.
I especially liked the comments on the pricing of the free package; "who would pay 49 pounds when it is free? ...someone who can't wait 2 weeks for delivery!" I am comfortable enough in my own masculinity to say that I find Guy extremely cute :crazy: .
By the way, I ordered my free version just over a week ago! I have more patience then money these days. :grin:
Fantastic - and many thanks for the template!
So glad you confirmed this for me Guy , 12.9 days and counting....
thank you
He is right, I did the questionnaire almost two weeks ago, and I am eating myself alive waiting! I don't remember exactly which day I did it, so when is my two week wait over??? Today I hope!
Brilliant. As an newbie to libraries I will be giving this a go. Thank you for the look!
For a young man like me who wants to discover the wonderful world of composition with an orchestra, it's absolutely incredible! I love Spitfire and I love your Guy videos thanks to you I was taken off for the composition. Thank you, your videos gave birth to a vocation in me !
Admiration from France !
It's hard not to love Spitfire. Free LABS, a free orchestra and great value from the Originals series. Music is a hobby for me and this kind of quality is key to whatever value I get from it
Agreed - three cheers
Your Studio is very beautiful 😍
Impressive library for free. We can't say anything else than thank you very much, Spitfire guys!!!
One of the questions posed in the survey - Who do you follow on RUclips etc? Well who do you think?! However, I’m afraid I was less complimentary about the BBC.
You cost me a lot of money...now I know the whole rest of the Spitfire Audio Software... just brilliant, thanks a lot 🤗
Since I'm currently learning this will be absolutely fantastic...
This guy's energy is so infectious
Great video. Looking forward to the next one where you demonstrate the BBC library.
Thanks for the heads up on this, Guy - in the middle on a project that will benefit from more Spitfire. You are the best!
Your workspace is insanely nice. Love it.
Spitfire stuff is very very inspiring and straightforward even down to their UI.
May I ask? What main controller are you using? Im in the market for something other than my P125. Thanks! If anyone reading knows, as I expect Guy to miss this being busy, thanks.
I love spitfire. I don’t have much money so I can’t purchase some of their libraries. I’ve gotten their free labs and it has brought life to my composition. I’m saving money to get some of their other libraries.
BBC SO Core and Pro are on sale at a discount through May.
That tympani is fantastic
First video I've seen of yours and I am almost immediately called out as a tech-y geek and film composer-y type. Also this is pretty informative so for both I'm going to subscribe. Thanks for adding some humor in with the info, makes it a lot easier to watch!
