Best Kontakt Library's by Andrew Southworth

The Kontakt library market is huge, and it can be overwhelming to choose sometimes. In this video i'm going to share what I consider to be the best Kontakt libraries in each instrument category.

The idea behind this is that if you had to just buy 1 library from each of these categories, which ones should you buy to have a world class sample library with as much re-use as possible. I'll also be sure to name any secondary options or runner-ups where applicable. Every single library in this list I personally own and use in my own music. 


The categories for this discussion are:

Best Bass Kontakt Library - Substance by Output

Best Sound Design Kontakt Library - Gravity by Heavyocity

Best Ambient Kontakt Library - Exhale by Output

Best Synth Kontakt Library - eDNA Earth by Spitfire Audio

Best Orchestral Kontakt Library - Albion One by Spitfire Audio

Best Percussion Kontakt Library - Damage by Heavyocity


Best Piano Kontakt Libraries - 

Felt Piano From Olafur Arnalds Composer Toolkit by Spitfire Audio

Plastic Ghost Piano by Sound Dust
