SUGGESTED MUSIC SAMPLE LIBRARY SOURCES
Not only is 95% of instrumental music for Film and TV recorded by utilizing professional sample libraries emulating live musicians, sample sounds are even combined with live musicians by most major studios to achieve that HUGE and LUSH Hollywood Orchestral sound!! The below links are the ones that we feel are the crème-de-la-crème of Hollywood-Style sample sounds to use.
ALL of Cinesamples libraries are created with Hollywood-Styled film-scoring in mind: http://cinesamples.com/
Since Orchestrations are our strong suit, we are sticklers for the BEST Strings sample library sounds available:
LA Scoring Strings (LASS): http://audiobro.com/ab-store/
EastWest Hollywood Strings: http://www.soundsonline.com/Hollywood-Strings
Appassionata Strings I: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/VI2AppStrings
Good Fiddle samples are actually VERY difficult to find, and there has YET to be a sample library that is solely devoted to the Fiddle. efiddler features the most realistic collection of high quality (24bit), individual Fiddle loops available for immediate download, a collection that covers EVERY single playing style and technique for the instrument; Solo Violin samples are also featured: http://efiddler.com/loopstore/loopstore.php
And if you wish to read complete, nuts-and-bolts reviews of the latest or most popular pro sample libraries used today, British-Based SOS (Sound On Sound) Pubs is THE go-to site to visit! http://www.soundonsound.com/
