This eliminates the need for artificial reverb. By selecting different mic positions, users can mix these sounds together to create any kind of natural ambience their project requires. To achieve the feel of a live concert hall performance, each instrument and section was recorded with three mic positions: close, stage (conductor‘s position) and hall. In addition, the Gold edition has one mic position and is 16-bit. The Choirs were recorded in the same concert hall, by the same team as the EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra and blend perfectly with EWQLSO. Instead, I saw their newer "Special Edition", which I believe took it's place.Imagine typing words into your computer, in any language, and hearing a world class Symphonic Choir sing those words in any key(s) you play "live" on your keyboard controller! Well imagine no more, that's exactly what this revolutionary "award-winning" virtual instrument does. Looking at Vienna Intstrument's website again, I couldn't seemed to find their mid-ranged Opus. I don't know much about SONiVox personally, so I can't give my opinion there. EWQLSO Platinum is basically the Gold version in 24-bit and with several mic positions (google it for more information on that), so I'd recommend Gold over Platinum unless you plan on writing for blockbuster movies soon, and have the computer power to run them. But if you're after big, epic sounds, EWQLSO Gold can't be beat.įor the high-end, Vienna Instrument's Symphonic Cube would be the way to go if you have several thousand dollars to burn (and several large hard drives). It's sound is the best of any of the mid-ranged options that I listed for classical-esque music, as well as slow music. VSL is somewhat like an extremely glorified Garritan, and is quite well rounded. I don't know much about KH's sounds, but from the demos I've heard they're underwhelming to me.įor the mid-range, I'd recommend either VSL Opus or EWQLSO Gold. I've never been a huge fan of Edirol's sound personally, but some people have had a good experience with it. EWQLSO Silver is better suited for that big, epic sound, although it can be used in other situations as well. Garritan is better suited for an all-around sound (meaning it goes quite well with slow music, and more traditional classical music, but can be used for bigger music as well). You may be able to get by with a single computer with 8 gig of ram, but it'd be risky in my book, and you'd have a tough time running anything alongside them.Ĭheck the product system recommendations for a ballpark estimate, although I've found they tend to low-ball specs, so google around and read about user experiences to find out if your computer is strong enough.įor the budget range, I'd recommend Garritan or EWQLSO Silver. For the high-end programs you'd most likely need a multi-computer setup to run everything well. For the mid-range programs 3 gig should suffice, although (again) more is better. I found that even limited me when I used a lot of samples, so my new computer has 8 gig of ram, and ever so often I still find myself limited.Īs a REALLY general rule of thumb, I'd say for the budget programs I listed you shouldn't find yourself limited as long as you have 1.5+ gig of RAM, although I'd recommend at least 2 gig to feel really comfortable.

It did, however have 3 GB of ram to support the samples. My old computer had an Athlon 64 3700+ (2.0gz, single core), and I was never limited by the CPU.

Samples generally don't require a lot of processing power, but they do require lots of RAM. Which means I've basically got one 2.40 GHz processor. Thanks, how processor-intensive are those? I've got dual 2.40 GHz processors, but I use FL Studio 7 and I'm pretty sure it doesn't support dual core.
