Guys I need a good sample library mainly for film scoring and orchestral music.
I'm looking for the most realistic one. but not too much epic or too soft.. something that I can make epic or soft when I want.. What would be the best choice?
Albion one or Symphobia or Orchestral Essentials or something else?

Also do you need every orchestral part separated or more 'keyboard-friendly' ensembles? Some libraries (like Albion One) have instrument combinations to speed up the writing process allowing you to 'knock out' good-sounding finished items for film or TV very quickly, but sacrifice some flexibility regarding writing individual lines. Still a very good library though.
If you prefer to write each part separately then you may prefer something more detail. This is why I went with Spitfire Chamber Strings as all sections are separate, it has a slightly more intimate sound than the epic libraries, but you can of course use the 'three instances' technique to make it sound larger when needed.
You open three instances of Spitfire Chamber Strings (or whatever library), leave one as-is, detune the second instance down three semitones, then retune Kontact up by three semitones. This places the pitch back at regular pitch but means you are triggering different samples and avoiding phase issues/machine gunning etc. You can the also add a third instance that is tuned up three semitones and then tune Kontakt down three semitones. It's easier than I'm making it sound.

Many libraries are dedicated to either an epic sound or an intimate sound though, so you may find it hard to cover both in one library.
