Спасибо большое! Это было очень интересно и познавательно!

I bought the cellos and was disappointed at just how huge they were and how lacklustre the sound was... didn't buy the rest of the string library because of this, but thanks for the 1st violins review. I'll probably pick that up. Already own BBCSO Pro and SSO, and I hadn't thought for the price and the bloat that I'd purchase the rest of the string library, but I may reconsider.

do people really use the Opus effects? don't they normally load up a third party effects in the DAW? great vid, cheers

It`s like Obi Wan Kenobi suddenly became a musician youtuber :) Thanks for the great video. May the force be with you 🙏

Hello, I'm having difficulties finding these supposed key-switches Hollywood Choirs. Anyone who happens to see this message and wants to help a guy out? Perhaps it only works in DAW mode?

Bravo maestro! You are the author of one of the few non-offensive Bach mockups on the internet!:D You convinced me to buy this library. I wonder if you found this task difficult? I regret that there are not more comparisons of this kind on the internet, because the assertiveness of baroque and classicism music is based solely on nuances, and it is difficult to avoid the effect of a dry machine gun using VST. By the way, have you checked out Miroire made by Orchestral Tools? Since I could not find any satisfactory demo, I have decided to use Chamber strings for now, to get closer to the baroque and classical sound. Again, hats off! Greetings from Sweden!

This is the best guitar software I have bought (for my own needs): I have purchased much more expensive ones and, in all honesty, none of them measured up for what I was looking for. This is the best of them, in my opinion, and not just because of the price.

You are spot on. I bought the whole library and regret it, except for 1st violins. I feel like we have been deceived. At that price, all sections should be on par with 1st violins.

Hi Sam, thank you for the very thorough and articulate video! 🙏 4 years later I have Damage II, Symphonic Destruction (fun😊) and PS Vista, which is amazing. Have you considered making an update (or is there one)? Btw Irecently downloaded Tutti Free, it is absolutely great for that purpose - and you get the notation, too! Coming more from the "analogical" side I'm still fairly new to all this stuff. My biggest challenge is NOT to buy any new new libraries😂

This looks interesting. Problem is: Website shows no company Location/Adress. Does Andybody know Details about the company Papritech?

Another video on this product described the ability to adjust the actual wind resistance output by turning the little exhaust pipe for lack of a better word. I just purchased this but I'm unable to adjust that. Do you know if you're able to adjust the actual physical resistance of the breath you put through the device?

Great video. It looks like a fantastic library, on the ensemble patches can the various instruments be isolated at all? Cheers

Great review, and you really addressed my concerns. I have the library. The legato definitely has some problems and just feels clunky. If you're a good keyboardist and really want to play with nuance, the legato will fight you. In some ways, it kind of feels to me like playing a pipe organ in a huge church, where the pipes you're playing are a mile away. But, the timing is also different from note to note. Not the library I'll turn to if I want to do some really nimble playing. And, I have a similar experience with loading times. Just seems to take very long (only my fully loaded 2023 Mac Pro, with NVMe storage on an OWC 8M2 card). I also wish SF would rethink its GUI. Just seems like a lot of wasted space to me, vs. what competitors are doing. I don't like the big knob. I'd rather have all of the things it's controlling as separate faders. And, it makes no sense to me to need to toggle through multiple pages to see all the articulations I have loaded. VSL easily handles all the articulations on one page. I've got all of the ARO stuff so far, with the exception of the recently released a2 clarinets (really wondering if I should continue at this point). So far, I was most impressed with the percussion (even though I was disappointed there is no timpani or tuned percussion, yet). ARO started really strong, but it's kind of losing altitude.

This a great tip but the odd thing for me is that the record feature (the little hand on Orchestrator) only works 1 out of 10 times for me. I can't figure out why it doesn't function consistently. I play through the part once and then try to drag the hand. Sometimes it has the little white dot on the hand, sometimes it doesn't but in either case it won't change the outcome. Can anyone offer tip on something that I may be missing here?

If you already know the notes you are going to play and know that the breath controller is not going to 'inspire' you to play different ones then an alternative exists. 1) Record in all the notes that you are going to 'add' expression to. 2) Do a second record of just the expression with both hands free to adjust a CC11 fader, knob, (breath controller??). This method can usually afford more control because you are separating concerns by concentrating on only one aspect at a time, on the second record all your creative energies are concentrated on expression alone not the notes at the same time! It's the same situation as would be if a conductor has the ability to squeeze, expand the instruments to 100% of exactly what he wants, not worrying if the player will 100% conform or not! :) Oh, and if does not quite work out the first time, rinse and repeat :)

Great, as always!

Great overview and demo. I have limited mobility with my feet and this looks like a great way to add espression on those two handed chords!

Hey, happy new year!

Remarkable, the receiver is an USB-A, the charging port on the device appears to be an USB-C?

Excellent presentation. Thanks.

Interesting. What is the battery life of AirMotion Pro? I mean one year, two years, five years or say ten years?

Dios les bendiga.Gracie a Dios después que he ascuchadoHaleluia de Handel me he decidido y e comprado Hollywood Diamond simphonic choir.Estoy utilizando con Yamaha motif es7 el Breath controllere BC3.Un Breath controllere es muy útil.Gracias Parra todo el profesionalismo que tiene .Feliz Anõ nuevo .. y les deseo 6:26 mucho salud!!!! 6:59

😧😳

Did you know 8dio and Soundiron used to be one company called Tonehammer? A long time ago the owners split the libraries into two companies, which is why some of 8dio and Soundiron older libraries match up in names

Superb Singing !!! So Authentic !!!! And the Reverb Demo also .... :-)

yes this one is Ben´s best. Very inspiring and creative plugin, good for intimate, small ensemble music. I hope Ben keeps developing plugins in this direction!!

Koto is a japanese traditional instrument, not chinese.

Does this work in Ableton? I did get it to import everything correctly, but im not hearing any sound. I dont see a midi setting like the one you mentioned in preferences.

If you buy a library you’re not composing. You’re arranging, not that there’s anything wrong with that

Great sound.!!!!

Great video. I bought the various Sable instruments as they came out (like building Chamber Strings in installments!). Even though it's an old library it is still my go to for strings and also the ensembles are great for sketching. I'm glad there is a cheaper way for people to get access to this now.

Thank you, Sam. I just received my complete EW Hollywood Orchestra Opus Diamond edition. There is a lot to love but at first glance but I do have one concern thus far. For example; If I load French horns the volume of the notes played in the lower octaves is so much less then the volume of the upper octaves. It seems that it would be nearly impossible to deal with in a mix and unplayable in a live situation. I have many libraries in all price ranges and have never seen something like this. I am hoping that there is an answer and fix for this. Thus far I see several of the brass instruments have this issue. I welcome any suggestions you may have. In the mean time please know how much I appreciate the wonderfully informative videos you create and share with us. Happy New Year.

Excelent video. Thanks a lot

Yes! Thank you for spreading the word about COMPOSING EVERY DAY, even if it's only for a few minutes! Great video!

amazing!

Hi, thank you for your great review. I‘ve bought AROSS two days ago and the Legatos have still the same issues. Did you report these Bugs to Spitfire? They are over 6 months out now 😢

What many people don't know is that you can find presets you have created yourself under Documents - East West - Presets - Hollywood Orchestrator, save them to a stick and then share or send them. Perhaps this will create a file sharing platform. 🙂

The middle east fiddle is just a violin played differently.

i'm a big fan of this company

Snygg och trevlig presentation, BIG THANX 🙂

Very good video ! Just a quick question, what do you think of UVI Orchestral suite ?

Thank you for the great video. However, I have the problem getting Opus to run properly in Cubase 13. Depending on the patch, I have extreme peak rashes there. I tested Studio One comparatively and everything runs smoothly there. Do you know the behavior in Cubase? My PC has enough power. I've already tormented myself through a lot of forums and tried out pretty much all the tips I could find.

Nice review! I have the EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Platinum and I wonder whether it's worth buying the Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition or not. I also have Hollywood Strings 2. Thanks!

great

Three years old. Is this library still relevant or are the better "wordbuilders" out now? Ai choirs?

thank you! :) great comparison! :)

Only 4/4 Time signature or can i change it for example to 3/4?

Thanks for this review, especially the comparison to Arkhis, which I like very much. However, I am currently saturated with several similar orchestral embellishment libraries. At $199 intro price (reg $249), this one is in my “someday maybe“ bucket.
