Two of the most beautiful string libraries ever created. As you say, not for epic cinematic scores, although they certainly can add some subtlety or used for softer passages, these shine for more softer, romantic or documentary applications. Listen carefully to some of the music from the show "The Crown" and you will hear both of these libraries.

[@DanTremblayMusic]

Very cool, I didn't know that! Yes, I love them both, though I am finding that NEO in particular is the probably the most versatile Albion since ONE was released. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@garaughty]

Excellent demo & insights Dan... Albion Tundra sounds like pure magic !

[@DanTremblayMusic]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, I think Tundra is still my favourite. But I’ve been using the Brunel loops from Neo a lot these days as well. Can’t go wrong with either one!

What a wonderful review, thank you so much, made things a lot clearer for me. Subbed

very nice video, opening music is so beautiful!

[@DanTremblayMusic]

Thank you, I appreciate that.

[@mitchellf76]

I have both of these libraries, found new insights here. Thanks you.

[@DanTremblayMusic]

Thank you for watching! I think I am really going to focus on these two for my compositions this year. They are both quite beautiful, and there is so much there in terms of tweaking and changing sounds.

@@DanTremblayMusic great, I will be watching / listening. I notice via FB you are in Ottawa too. Good to make your acquaintance!

Hi!! Thank you for doing this. My problem still is that I only have the budget for one of these two. Which of these is better as a standalone library? I don’t have any of the other Albions. This will be my first major purchase and I can sense that my musical proclivity is somewhere within these two. I hope you can help me make the decision!

[@DanTremblayMusic]

Thanks for watching! It really depends on what style of music you want to make. Best all in one is Albion One which covers a little bit of everything. But if you are looking for something a bit quieter and less “epic”, I would go with Tundra. I think it’s still my favourite. I’m sure one day I will just end up owning all of them, but yeah, it’s a whole lot of money!

[@raagamuffin]

@@DanTremblayMusic Thanks, Dan! I don’t write epic stuff as much. I got the Originals Epic Strings and Cinematic/Epic percussion just in case. The only thing remaining is something intimate and quiet to stand out and not sound like everybody else. I do quiet, orchestral music laced with pianos, woodwinds etc.

[@DanTremblayMusic]

@@raagamuffin then you can’t go wrong with tundra. To me, that’s what it’s designed for. 👍

[@raagamuffin]

@@DanTremblayMusic Perfect! Thank you 🙃

[@Sellouth]

Nice! I was wondering if the harmonium was nice to play with, to compose with, do you find it playable?

[@DanTremblayMusic]

I do like the sound of it, just not sure where it would fit into my compositions yet. But I plan on experimenting more with it.

[@eylab1541]

I think sometimes Paul does these a disservice by always playing chords with them. When I listened to the official Neo review I thought the brass sounded quite synthy, but listening to you playing it monophonically I actually find it sounds hauntingly beautiful.

[@DanTremblayMusic]

Wow! Thank you! Most of the time the stuff I’m doing is maybe less on the orchestral side, so I love a lot of the pads and things that have been mangled and processed.

[@masonthomassax]

Great video!

[@DanTremblayMusic]

Thank you!

[@eylab1541]

God, you really digged that Man of Steel soundtrack, didn´t you? ;) Can´t blame you; so did I.

[@drakestar13]

Min 14:18 Nils Frahm ;)

[@MondoLoops]

what track?

[@DanTremblayMusic]

Actually I wasn’t thinking Nils Frahm, but rather David O’Dowda whom I really like. But drakestar, you heard something else?

[@toddfrombethesda6963]

I have always felt albions brass offerings were always luckwarm.

[@DanTremblayMusic]

It all depends on how you use them. The strings and pads are really where the libraries excel.

[@toddfrombethesda6963]

@@DanTremblayMusic I will say tundras are unique enough that I could use them for underscoring and mellow mock ups. Refs better then Albion ones but also different then Albion ones general purpose brass.

[@DanTremblayMusic]

I think if you want big broad strokes, Albion one does that, and iceni probably even more so. I think the key with Albion brass, aside from One, is that it is meant to be used in a less traditional sense.

[@toddfrombethesda6963]

@@DanTremblayMusic the one reason I want tundra is because of its Skyrimesqe sound. Really wish I brought it will it was on sale.

[@DanTremblayMusic]

@@toddfrombethesda6963 I pretty much only purchase these libraries on sale now, and usually only one big purchase per year. Unless Spitfire comes out with a subscription option, that would be interesting!?

[@benjaminkurtz-academy]

Thank you so much for this video. It helps me in my process of deciding between both. I tent to Tundra as I like the more airy qualities. But maybe that very subjective. Thank you again!

[@DanTremblayMusic]

you can't go wrong with either one, I love them both. Happy composing!
