East West Symphonic Orchestra Play Edition
Their player runs very stable and smooth on my system (windows 10, streaming from HDDs, Hollywood Orchestra, Symphonic Orchestra and other EW libs (full EW template)). Symphonic Choirs is the only choir I own, so i can't compare.
I think it is very useful for your up to 4part writing in orchestral setups, here are some thoughts off the top of my head. Great stuff: -consistent tone among all sections that blends well with EW SO (and HO) -It's got a nice soft and a decent forte sound -the wordbuilder is a very powerful tool, but you've got to accept it's limitations (EW decided not to implement useful features), once mastered you're able to pull some nice gibberish or actual english/latin phrases. I've heard german demos aswell that sounded convincing enough. -Utilizing the mic positions you can really create all kind of different choir section sounds from big and epic to very upfront and detailed (just works with the platinum edition!) -Solo voices for Soprano, Alto and Boy Choir. They sound really nice! -Some nice choir effects Drawbacks: -No good molto vibrato sounds at fff (Voices of the apocalypse expansion doesn't do the job either) -Staccato articulations are pretty much useless, they are too long.
You've got to do some editing on the release tails to achive a snappy stacc sound. -no divisi - working on long phrases with the wordbuilder is just painful. There is not even an option to jump to a specific position via Keyswitch. The best approach is to build the shorter phrases, than safe them and load them after each other in the final project.
-obviously no legato, but that's no real limitation. Here are some examples where I used Symphonic Choirs: Starting at 0:50 you can hear some longer and shorter staccatos (there is just 1 stacc articulation, but as sayed above using the release tail you can create some various length staccs) Towards the end you can hear how I used some tremolo strings to make up for the low vibrato amount on the highest choir dynamics. In the beginning some soprano and alto coupled 3rds on soft dynamics, than at forte with some choir effects and shouts Sopranos from their lower tonal and dynamic range to their higher, one line is doubled on altos an octave below. 2 mix versions: 1 uses more close mics, the other more surround mics. The choir in this piece is just used to support the harmony when it modulates, starting at 1:07 As stated above, it blends really nice. (The orchestra is Hollywood Orchestra) If you're deciding to do over-the-top-epic style, better go for Cinesamples Voxos or strezov Samplegs StormChoir II remember: with composer cloud, you can pay 1 month and try it out. It's really not much money to invest to try their whole palette.
How would one prefer such a setup? No, I prefer prepanned sections as is the case with all EW Orchestral products. They recorded Symphonic Choirs in the correct stage position, so you get a realistic choir sound out of the box. The closemic samples are not panned itself (obviously that won't make much sense), but the player already got you the correct pan setting. But if you'd like to place your choir somewhat differently, you could use the close mics, remove the pan information from the EW Player mixer and position with your external plugins. Notice that multiple mics are only aviable on the platinum edition. Alright, that's good to know for the choir, that's for being patient and working this out.
So if that issue did occur as it always does in eastwest strings no matter which DAW I use, I could only rectify it in the platinum version? The issue is I can't see any logical reason whatsoever why I would want everything to start out panned to the right just so that I could waste time centering it. IF I want something panned, I would, as you implied, touch the panning myself. EW strings use to sound like one of the best.in the videos.then I actually opened play and started using the samples.everything is panned to the right. Actually both the alto sections bass sections were panned to the right.
Yes, panning to both sides is essential, but a lop-sided song where everything is lop-lopsidedly panned to one side is not essential. I still see no reason why everything should be panned to the right, I will control how far left or right the instruments are from the center as I see fit, I don't need to have the volume cancel out as I try to balance the panning to the left. Why would I want only the alto sections panned on one side for the entire song? Download Microsoft Visio Drawing 2003 Portable. That makes no sense, obviously starting from the center is more versatile unless there is a simple channel swap option which I see no trace of on the Play player. Yes, to distinguish to different octaves more noticeably to create a richer sound when you combine the altos, tenors and bass when playing them all at once, it makes sense. Unfortunately, listeners and creators of music are not deterministic in always looking to combine the different string sections, sometimes you only want bass, sometimes you only want altos, sometimes you'll want both at once but have one be quieter and another be louder to act as melody and harmony.

But you're saying the original samples themselves are perfectly in the center and if I went to the real-life choir and stood in the center, I wouldn't hear any panning, it's just that in Play, they are loaded with hidden settings that pan the different sections? Yes, I get your point.
East Wests target customers are orchestral composers and orchestrators I guess, that's the reason for the panning. I personally am a huge fan of the prepanned sections. But than again, the choir is not very hardly panned, it'll be easy to compensate the slight left or right pan inside of play. The samples are not ALL without pan information: Actually all the mic positions EXCEPT the close mic were recorded with stereo information. JUST the close mics are not panned in themself! When using a close mic, Play uses it's internal pan knob to pan the close mic. You can simply reset the close mic pan knob.
So to me what it sounds like is unfortunately you actually are talking about the wave forms of the channels of the audio file that was directly recorded in microphones on different sides, they purposely sampled the instruments to be be quiet on one side and loud on another which is a real bummer because I definitely don't always use every section at once, not everything has to be some epic journey. But, it also sounds like there is some other way I can pan them to the center without a huge volume loss?
Where is this panning information that I can adjust the mic locations from? Only in platinum?
Clip Studio Paint Ex Mac Keygen. I would imagine that every mic on the stage picked up all volume, so the raw samples that were loaded should be perfectly centered, there must be some way to get rid of this automatic pre-panning.
Now you can have virtual men's, women's, and boy's choirs singing the words you type. The award-winning Symphonic Choirs virtual instrument software makes it possible to type words into your computer, in any language, and hear a world-class symphonic choir sing those words in any key(s) you play 'live' on your keyboard controller. This PLAY Edition includes the 64-bit (with 32-bit compatibility) PLAY advanced sample engine with built-in network control (see below for more details). The choirs were recorded in the same concert hall, by the same team as the EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra and this sample collection blends perfectly with EWQLSO. To achieve the feel of a live concert hall performance, each instrument and section on EastWest's Symphonic Choirs was recorded with 3 mic positions: close, stage (conductor's position), and hall. By selecting different mic positions, you can mix these sounds to create any kind of natural ambience your project requires. Control all mic positions for the orchestra, choirs, pianos, and other instruments with multiple mic positions with the built-in mic mixer.
Load, unload, adjust, pan, and mute mic positions as you wish. This eliminates the need for artificial reverb and this is the first time it's been offered in a 24-bit choir virtual instrument.
WordBuilder WordBuilder lets you type words in English for the choir to sing. For added detail, you can use WordBuilder's internal phonetic language, VoTox. With VoTox you get complete control over each phoneme. Symphonic Choirs lets you adjust timing, volume, and crossfade to get just the sound you need. The Learn function adapts WordBuilder's timing to your playing to give you even greater control over crossfades and complex pronunciation. The Phrases pop-up menu includes 28 popular Latin phrases that you can load instantly. Many choirs sing in Latin so this can be a real timesaver for those on a tight deadline.
The phrases have been optimized for each choir. The Phrases menu is completely customizable so users can add their own phrases to the menu for quick and easy access. WordBuilder's enhanced user interface is larger, making it easier to modify the way choirs perform your words. The look of the UI is much improved in the style of the PLAY Virtual Instrument interface as well.
PLAY PLAY isn't just a sampler. The PLAY system is a professional, fully integrated sample playback software solution for those with the most demanding production requirements. Its 64-bit support (available as a download for Mac users) allows you to load many more instruments and voices, limited only by your system RAM. 32-bit support is included also. If you still need more power, PLAY's network control allows you to load instruments on other machines controlled from your host computer.
That means no more trips back and forth between computers and no more KVM switching when loading projects. There's also no need to buy additional software.
The PLAY interface is designed to eliminate clutter, including only the controls needed for each individual virtual instrument. All the instruments are listed in one easy-to-use browser that displays all of your instruments. It includes a favorites section to group the instruments you use most. You can also preview your instrument of choice in a simplified column viewer.
Load instruments into one instance to take advantage of your sequencer's instrument tracks, or into multiples if you so desire. The Interface automatically changes to display the current instrument whatever you do. As far as articulations, forget browsing complicated patch names. Just pick the instrument and play, and turn on/off articulations as you wish. The Articulations list also serves as reference for all expressions within the instrument (no need to look up key-switches in charts). Save your favorite configuration for quick retrieval. PLAY is full of many other helpful features too.
It has a legato detection that senses legato and repetitive playing and responds accordingly. It allows you to manipulate stereo samples in very useful ways, like the Stereo Swap that lets you instantly swap the left and right channels (Mono from left, Mono from right, or Mono Sum allow for instant conversion from stereo to mono). The playback engine was built from the ground up to create the most intuitive instruments possible. The powerful effects engine has a reverb section that includes multiple impulse responses from halls, and the famous EastWest Studios and live chambers (more RIAA certified Platinum and Gold records awarded than any other studio). It also gives you incredibly smooth filters. The iLok security system that PLAY uses ensures complete portability, allowing you to take your plug-in anywhere you want for use on any computer, and to authorize and manage up to 100 per one key. PLAY is natively supported in all major hosts on all major operating systems.
Note: Network Support will be available by EastWest/Quantum Leap after its release.
