To anyone who really cares in the classical world, samples have been a non-starter and have been useful only for mapping out orchestral ideas before going into the studio to record them for real. The difference between the sound of a real orchestra and one created using a collection of samples has historically been pronounced. One of these products is BFD, a drum collection from FXpansion (which received 9/10 in CM68) and the other is the Symphonic Orchestra collection from EastWest and Quantum Leap Productions, a package that pushes the sampling envelope to its limits. In these products, the samples have been multi-miked with close and distant microphones, and the sample programs allow you to balance the levels of close and ambient mics just as if you were working on a real recording session. Call then what you will- sample players, ROMplers or whatever- they consist of huge and comprehensive libraries of sounds recorded in natural spaces, and come bundled with their own software playback interface. But in recent months there have been a couple of groundbreaking new products that genuinely give samplers and sample libraries a whole new complexion.
Have you noticed that the world of sampling is enjoying a refreshing renaissance at the moment? It's a natural response to the increase in the amount of computer power that we have at our disposal so it shouldn't really come as a surprise.
