Here is a mockup of one of my favourite John Williams tracks, Leaving Hogwarts.
Libraries used:
Strings:
Spitfire Audio BBCSO Core (for all of the larger symphonic string patches)
Spitfire Audio Chamber Strings (used to double parts of the BBCSO to add definition and for divisi parts)
Spitfire Audio Solo Strings (for section leaders adding further definition)
Audio Imperia Jaeger (for fast string runs, doubling with Spitfire Chamber Strings 'Violin Legato (Fast)' patch)
Brass:
Spitfire Audio BBCSO Core (bulk of the brass)
Audio Imperia Jaeger (trumpets and horns doubling with BBCSO)
Audio Imperia Talos (low ensemble, only on the very last chord)
Woodwind and Percussion:
Spitfire Audio BBCSO Core
Harp:
Spitfire Audio Spitfire Harp
Plugins for mixing are from FabFilter; Pro Q 3 (EQ), Pro C 2 (compression), Pro R (reverb), Pro L 2 (limiting) with the exception of Logic's Space Designer with the Bricasti M7 'Mechanics Hall' impulse response for my main reverb.
