Big congratulations on number 1, well deserved!  

Haven't bought any libraries, I see! Really goes to show that you don't buy expensive libraries, and all of a sudden you're good (if anyone even thought that), you have used the tools you have (which sounds great as well) really well, and bam, you get some amazing music. 

But if you're feeling like you want some more expansive libraries, this would be a good time perhaps, as they will give you more power to express yourself further, I'd say you're at a good level to really get use out of them. So look at videos, walkthroughs, find out if they're really for you, and wait for sales! There's also a student discount on Spitfire, if that applies to you. 

Be well Lava. :)

Thank you! And thank you so much for your advice. What websites do you go to find sales? Are they directly from the vendors or are there third party sites I should be looking at? Appreciate it!

About the libraries from Spitfire Audio: Spitfire don't really sell their stuff on third party sites, so their own website (spitfireaudio.com) is where you got to go. Unfortunately the 40% on everything sale ended like... a few days ago, so that's a bummer. Unfortunately it could be a while before the next one. One thing you could do is make an account on their website, and wish list the items you're interested in, as sometimes they do a special wish list sale. Meanwhile, if you haven't, you can get BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover for free. It is the free version of BBC Symphony Orchestra Core, the library I used for the brass (and strings etc). You won't get the sound I have, because those articulations don't exist in the free version. But it does still give you an idea of the sound, interface and which instruments are available (a few less in the free version, but most are there). 

About the libraries from Zero.G: These can be found on several third party sites, way too many for me to list, don't know much beyond that. So you got to look around, but it's not too uncommon to find a sale on Zero.G's own website.  

I hope that helps. I'll try to ping you, if I ever see a sale. :)

Once again, thank you! I do use Spitfire's free VSTs and the BBC Discovery orchestra (which is such a phenomenal free resource), but I think you're right that upgrading gives more freedom and versatility. I'm not really in any rush and could definitely use discounts if it's an option so I'll browse around and wait for a good deal. :) Thank you!

Best of luck in your search, and be careful! Once you start buying libraries, it can become very, VERY addicting. ;)
