Taetro’s Symphony Spin: A Beatmaker’s Adventure with Free Orchestral Sounds
The Magic of Free Sounds
Taetro kicks off with a tantalizing teaser about the shared roots of a lo-fi beat and a post-rock tune. Believe it or not, they both sprout from the same orchestral arrangement, crafted with Spitfire Audio’s Symphony Orchestra Discover. This freebie library may be a trimmed-down version, but it certainly doesn’t skimp on creative potential. Thanking Spitfire for making this episode possible, Taetro dives headfirst into exploring these lush sounds that can break out of classical bounds and into realms where beat heads find their groove.
"they're both built off of the exact same orchestral arrangement that I made with a brand new free orchestral library from Spitfire Audio."

Sound Test Unplugged
In classic Taetro style, we get a full-on sound bath with these orchestral elements. There’s no talking, just a steady stream of music that gives you a front-row seat to how versatile these sounds can be. You don’t need a tuxedo to appreciate the elegance of what these samples can do; Taetro lets the music do the talking with a series of demos that show the breadth of emotional and dynamic range these free sounds pack into their modest package. It’s a symphonic buffet for the ears, nudging you to dive into your own creative culinary adventure.
Orchestrating Layers of Creativity
Taetro invites you to pull up a stool and watch as he peels back layers of musical complexity with ease. He starts with piano, the bread and butter of many an arrangement. From there, he begins stacking, layering, and experimenting with everything from atmospheric drones created with reverb tails to expressive strings that breathe life into the arrangement. It’s a hands-on walkthrough that feels like your musical buddy is guiding you through a kitchen of sounds—adding a pinch of violins here, a dash of cellos there, all building toward a full orchestral meal.
He doesn’t just stick to straight lines, though. Taetro dabbles with different tempi and articulations, bending the rules like a creative chef making a new recipe by feel rather than a rigid cookbook. Whether it’s a cor anglais for a touch of melancholy or a flute sound to inject urgency, the session is packed full of inspiration on how to bring variety and depth to compositions. Each step is a mix of thought and playfulness, proving that making music is as much about experimentation as it is craftsmanship.
The whole segment unfurls with the kind of casual mastery that makes you feel like you, too, can craft such immersive soundscapes. It’s an orchestral DIY session where you’re given all the tips you need to bring that symphonic flair to your own beat-making sessions, and perhaps a few laughs with Taetro along the way.
A Symphony’s Dual Life: Lo-fi Beats and Post-Rock Vibes
"With a few extra elements we take those gorgeous orchestral sounds and we end up creating a pretty cool lo-fi hip-hop beat."

This is where Taetro really shows off the polymorphic nature of his orchestral piece. He flips his composition into two divergent pathways: a chilled lo-fi hip-hop track and a lively post-rock jam. It’s akin to watching a street food vendor whip up both a classic hotdog and some avant-garde tofu creation from the same ingredients.
In the lo-fi remix, extra layers like shaker and hi-hat loops are seamlessly introduced to the orchestral foundation, laying the groundwork for a groove that’s relaxed yet engaging. This reinvention isn’t about overloading; it’s a masterclass in subtlety where less is more. Then, switching gears, Taetro escalates to a post-rock version that injects pounding drums and soaring electric guitar, augmented by additional orchestral layers for epic magnitude.
It’s fascinating to see the same orchestral bedrock—that could’ve easily been the backdrop to a wedding ceremony—become a bass-thumping lo-fi track or an electrifying rock anthem. With Taetro at the helm, this transformation becomes a peerless example of modern musical alchemy, proving once and for all that orchestral libraries aren’t just for film scores.
Call to Arms: Orchestral Sounds for All
Taetro wraps up with a rallying cry that’s as free-wheeling as it is encouraging. He stresses the beauty of the Spitfire Symphony Orchestra Discover set—it’s free, folks! Even if you’ve never dipped a toe into orchestral music before, it’s time to download and get those creative juices flowing. These aren’t your grandfather’s violins, and Taetro’s session proves how they can reinvent the familiar into something refreshingly contemporary.
So go on, take that link he’s dropped, and embrace the strings, the brass, the whole shebang in your next beat-making session. It’s a golden ticket to a new layer of musical creativity, one click away. With a final nod, thanks Spitfire, and Taetro signs off, leaving his followers invigorated and ready to infuse their beats with a touch of classical flair.
"this orchestral library is free and even if you didn't think of yourself as using orchestral instruments before hopefully I've showcased kind of two very unique ways you can use them in more modern production."
