Critic Reviews

EastWest / Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs

soundonsound.com

East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs offers an unparalleled choral experience with its extensive sample library and the innovative Word Builder. The sound quality is exceptional, and the different mic positions provide versatile ambience control. While Word Builder demands a learning curve and a high-end system, the results are worth the effort, making it a fantastic tool for media composers. However, its plug-in support is limited to specific DAWs, and it requires significant computing power for full SATB use. Despite these drawbacks, it's a groundbreaking product for those needing high-quality choral sounds.

As the center of his studio, BT uses M-Audio's Radium61 61-Key USB MIDI Controller to drive his system, complemented by an array of Pioneer Pro DJ gear. He has both a Macintosh G5, running Logic Pro with Digidesign's Pro Tools HD hardware systems, and a G4, allowing him to run older software and hardware interfaces. Additionally, there are multiple AMD Dual-core Opteron computers running Native Instruments' Kontakt 2 with EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra and Symphonic Choir libraries as well as Quantum Leap Colossus and Stormdrum and Native Instruments' Kompakt. The space is nothing if not versatile. For his score for 2004's "Monster," BT wanted a more organic sound, so vocals, guitars and percussion overdubs were done in various room at his home. For this, he used a variety of mics, some of the many guitars hanging on his wall and Neve microphone preamps.

最近作っている曲は、バリバリテクノとバリバリオーケストラなのですが、両方の曲調でいわゆる定番!って音が必要だったりします。

んーVIRUS早くこないかなぁー。 新しい音色から曲が出来たりするのは、よくある事なので楽しみです。

KORGのLegacyCollectionのDigitalEditionの方もいいなぁー。 http://www.korg.co.jp/Product/Synthesizer/LegacyCollection/DigitalEdition/

M1RもWAVESTATIONもハードで持っているのですが卓に立ちあがっていません。 やはりこれにしか出せない音があり、特に最近「M1のあの音っぽいのないかなぁー」って思う事が多いのですが、なかなか他の音源ではいま一つな感が否めません。。。

オーケストラ系はSD2導入予定、注文済みです! http://www.h-resolution.com/EastWest/SD2.html

先に使ったもん勝ちっすね(笑)

EASTWESTをみると http://www.soundsonline.com/home.php シンフォニックコーラスのプレイエディション版出ますね。 http://www.soundsonline.com/Symphonic-Choirs-PLAY-Edition-pr-EW-182.html

今はIntelmacしか使ってないので、ちょっと困ってたのですが解決しそうです!
