I recently had purchased Spitfire Albion One, I didn’t need another all-in-one orchestral library.

I held off on buying this library for a while. you’re faced with this badass artwork of a giant mechanized robot (like the Jaegers in Pacific Rim), a big knob in the center of the GUI that looks sort of like the arc reactor on Iron Mans chest, and just an all around sleek, futuristic, mechanical design. To top it all off, the visuals seem straight out of a sci fi blockbuster. Instead, we get massive braams, blaring horns, tight string ostinatos, and the most gorgeous legato vocals you’ve ever heard. You won’t find any vague and pretentious marketing campaigns here! You know… the kind with musicians playing in slow mo, quiet string swells and minimalist ambiance (aka… Spitfire Audio). They made it clear, this is not your mother’s orchestral library. The artwork and marketing alone sure go a long way to selling the product. I had yet to be disappointed by anything released by Audio Imperia, and the more I learned about Jaeger, the more eager I became to hear more demos and check it out for myself. There was such a massive market already for orchestral samples, from companies such as Spitfire Audio, 8dio, Cinesamples, Orchestral Tools, and East West, so when they did announce their plans to release Jaeger, my initial reaction was one of surprise, quickly followed by excitement.

While a lot of their products did include organic instruments, such as Trailer Guitars, and their Klavier Piano series, I truly never expected them to release a full fledged orchestral library. This company not only carved out a niche, but earned a spot at the top, offering incredible designed sounds at really competitive prices. When I think of the name Audio Imperia, I Instantly think of AAA film trailer effects, such as intense braams, risers, gritty synth pulses, atmospheres, mechanized hybrid FX, and the like. Audio Imperia, as a company, are known for their cutting edge sound design libraries. When Jaeger was first announced (see teaser above), it came as a bit of a shock to some.

This update is huge, and you can tell they took their time and really listened to user requests and critiques. Just a few days ago, after much anticipation, Audio Imperia released a massive free update to their flagship orchestral library, Jaeger.
