are you talking about one of the demos in the player on the page? Anyway, the true test of a library, especially for those who compose for orchestra, is creating a demo starting from the score, and not, as in the case of Spitfire, writing for the samples. In this way, the strengths of the library are highlighted, but one doesn't know how it would behave having to create a composition born on paper...

I am not much of a fan of hybrid libraries or those with pre-packaged sections; I prefer the pursuit of realism, perhaps by creating the individual sections myself using samples that may even differ from one another. On the hybrid side, there is already plenty of material to work with, so there is no need for new libraries. That being said, Spitfire products are of excellent quality. As far as orchestral libraries are concerned, I believe that in terms of realism, judging by the demos on their website, they are by far the best available at the current time. I invite you to listen to this track; it is truly hard to believe it isn't a real orchestra, a result that is impossible to achieve with Vienna, let alone East West or anything else.
