This change makes it even easier for music-makers of all kinds to add professionally recorded strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion to their tracks – whatever genre of music they make. It also makes Discover an even more accessible entry point for anyone wanting to explore orchestral composition, including aspiring film, TV and game composers.

All you need is a compatible DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and a Spitfire Audio account.

ABOUT BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA DISCOVER

Working in close collaboration with BBC Studios – one of the world’s most renowned orchestras – BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover is a straightforward and inspiring gateway into orchestral composition, featuring the same professional and detailed recording process as both the Core and Professional editions, in an incredibly lightweight and accessible package. A remarkable sound despite its size being only 200MB.

Spitfire Audio has selected 33 instruments — spanning Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, and Percussion — and 47 techniques available with one professionally mixed signal, enabling you to write instantly great-sounding orchestral music — presented in a beautifully designed, easy-to-use plugin, with simple controls and compatible with any major music creation software from Garageband to Pro Tools. 

Spitfire Audio co-founder Paul Thomson explains;

“Our ambition for…DISCOVER is that it becomes the absolute entry point for anybody wanting to discover orchestral music, with all of the instruments that you would need to create basic orchestrations, but with a very much reduced footprint and reduced articulations.”

BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover can be digitally downloaded as an AAX-, AU-, VST2-, and VST3-supporting plugin for Mac (OS X 10.10 or later) and Windows (7, 8, and 10 — latest Service Pack) that loads directly into any compatible DAW for free from here: https://www.spitfireaudio.com/free [link live on July 14th, 5pm BST].
