    Spitfire Audio levels the playing field with a $49 entry-level version of it's BBC SO Orchestra library. But does this "Change Everything" like the developer's marketing implies?

    In the video, I share a demo mock-up using BBC SO Discover, details of the library, a first look playthrough of instruments
    and then close it out with thoughts about the release and who I think will benefit from utilizing the instrument.

    Hal Black Bounty, they didn't lower the price on the FULL version but there is a sale going on for the FULL version for $779 right now. They created 2 "lite" versions DISCOVER ($49) and CORE ($449 - but also on sale right now for $349)

    They wrote that it's 200 mb:
    How is it even possible?
    What kind of compression was used?

    Well... That doesn't sound very good. Speaking of such things, what happened to Garritan Personal Orchestra?
