BBC Symphony Orchestra Professional

The BBC Symphony Orchestra is the musical beating heart of the BBC itself - the oldest entertainment organisation in the world, trusted and respected globally. The BBC Symphony Orchestra has been performing nearly a century old has been at the forefront of championing new orchestral music and composers at the BBC Proms and beyond, and selling out concert halls the world over.

This one-of-a-kind sample library captures this incredible orchestra at its late-home Maida Vale Studios, a world-class recording space with a rich musical history since 1909 — host to The Beatles, Hendrix and Bowie, and countless film scores.

BBC Symphony Orchestra includes 20 signals, giving you the opportunity to tailor each sound to exactly what you need for your production, for a new level of realism, and ultimate control. The eleven microphone positions give you much more than the standard Close, Tree, Ambient and Outriggers — add Mono mics, used by the BBC since 1930s, for a vintage sound; Leader mics, placed above the leader in each section for a more intimate sound; Stereo Coles 1438s for a vibrant, punchy sound highlighting a particular section, Close Wides, to feature a section while occupying the whole width of the stereo field; Balcony mics for even more distance; Sides for our widest sound, and Atmos, designed for use in Dolby Atmos mixing.

The game changer on top of these is five spill signals — microphones left open from other sections which you can add in for depth, fullness and a truly three dimensional sound. We also give you two out of the box stereo mixes by Jake Jackson — one 'real', the other more 'hyped'. All the options you need, from the very driest, tightest, most upfront sound, all the way to huge, expansive ambient sounds. This is your definitive orchestra, made accessible through cutting edge technology, all in one package.

Each edition is fully interchangeable through Spitfire’s innovative mode switching technology, making it easier than ever to share and collaborate with fellow composers, regardless of which edition they own.
