The thing I try to remember is that each company has the best people they can find make their demo's with the best equipment available anywhere. If you start to lose interest for some reason at least watch part 6 of Yeah, it is hard to tell from the demo's. Check this 6 part youtubes of this guy in action
#EW SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA GOLD VS GOLDX FREE#
If you have any questions about EW products I own almost all of them so feel free to ask.īTW, there's a new forum member named Theo Krueger that manipulates PRV like I aspire to do some day. Kontakt is cheaper and has many more instruments but I would never use the majority of them (hip-hop, world, etc) and I'm pretty happy with the rock band instruments I have for the moment (except for maybe bass guitar)
#EW SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA GOLD VS GOLDX FULL#
I won't be buying until mid January anyway so I'll certainly spend time checking out my options and there does seem to be a lot of options.Īt this point I'm leaning toward EW because, like you, I find the orchestral sounds much better ( ) and is a full orchestra. If you have any questions about EW products I own almost all of them so feel free to ask.Īgain, you are going to hear what everybody thinks is the best but use your own ears and choose the one that gives you the sound you are looking for. That way you get the close sound which adds difinition and the stage mics which give you the big hollywod sound while saving a few dollars.Īgain, you are going to hear what everybody thinks is the best but use your own ears and choose the one that gives you the sound you are looking for. You will save money and the stage mics are wet enough as it is so the hall mics just make things too muddy for my taste. I would suggest that if you go with Symphonic Orchestra go for Gold and then buy the close mics add on they sell. Kontakt is easier to work with than Play so that is another consideration. Hollywood Strings and Brass have raised the bar. Given that SO is an older program and yet still stands up to the newer programs out there shows just how good it is. They do have a mixer on the Symphonic Orchestra page where you can here the difference between the mic positions and the different mics blended together. You know the sound you are looking for so make sure what you are buying will give you that sound.
I know a lot of it is personal opinion but you can check out the demo's and see for yourself and that is what you should base your purchase on.
