"Of course then Microsoft bought us and they went straight to the Xbox and we could use proper instruments then. So I was using the Vienna Symphonic library which is quite a big orchestral library which is quite expensive to buy, and I used that for Grabbed by the Ghoulies."
Composer Robin Beanland uses the Vienna Symphonic Library Pro Edition for orchestral samples on the "Conker: Live & Reloaded Original Soundtrack," as documented in the album notes on VGMdb.
Steve Burke has confirmed that he used the Vienna Symphonic Library Pro Edition in his work. In response to a query on Twitter, he stated: "Hi, I can't remember for sure I think we had the first edition, it was new to the market. Either on Gigastudio or Kontakt. They later upgraded to the Pro version. Memory is a bit hazy, but I started with JV1080/Orch exp, Akai S5000, GigaStudio and Kontakt with VSL and other libs." This acknowledgment was in response to a question by MikanGamerPrime regarding the specific version of VSL used in Kameo.
