    I need to gather few instruments to have the main instruments used in an orchestra or band. I already have few good pianos. But I am missing, Strings/pads, Drums, bass, Guitars (Electric, acoustic and rhythm), and air instruments.

    For strings I have found "Spitfire Audio Albion ONE" and "Orchestral Tools - Berlin Strings", but these are huge libs and I am not even sure if this is what I really need.

    Could you guys please share some of your VST and/or Kontakt favorite instruments?

    A very popular complete orchestral library for beginners is Audio Imperia Nucleus: https://www.audioimperia.com/collections/all/products/nucleus

    For drums I very much like XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2: https://www.xlnaudio.com/products/addictive_drums_2
    They also have a good collection of Pianos and E-Pianos, called Addictive Keys.

    Bass: IK Multimedia Modo Bass: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/modobass/

    Guitars, Basses and more: Ample Sound: https://www.amplesound.net/en/index.asp

    Also very nice Guitars and more: Orange Tree Samples: https://www.orangetreesamples.com/

    @OP Kontakt is great if you need ultra-high quality instrument library with all the various bells and whistles. If you are a producer making Instrumental/Orchestral it's basically a must. If you are not slightly hackerish anyway, pirating good libraries and getting all the silly thumbnails and things people seem to care about working flawlessly can be a challenge. it's very possible, but it is also some considerable effort. And the exceptional quality of the libraries still comes at the same cost; it is time consuming and requires tons of HD space. But nice expensive external SSD's of course...

    All things which are nearly a *must* for any competent producer or beat maker in 2022. Therefore, I would suggest you get UVI Falcon instead. all day, and twice on Sunday. you could use only the 4gb factory library for a year. easily. And in a daw session at 24/48, it sounds awesome. there is also no shortage of content.

    Knowledge is power and most of the time you depend on someone to get it! I was a little uncomfortable and hesitant posting this question as I have been assisted a lot here for the last few days and didn't want another help me thread from me! But I am so happy I did as it is was impossible for me to find this alone. I have been browsing NI and so many other sites for hours today and I was more confused in the end then when I started searching. Thanks a lot for your help Oneeyedstan.
    I am going to take a close look at this. Thanks a lot for sharing.

    Your post was a life saver! I tried Nucleus and it's really handy. I indeed needed something like this. Got guitars from Ample Sound and they really sound amazing. Also got the Modo Bass and it sounds excellent for the size!!

    @clone ,
    Thank you very much for this precious tip. With Kontakt, or without Kontakt, UVI Falcon is a MUST have or at least a MUST try gem.
