In the Kontakt domain, in comparison with my Orchestral Tools, Cinesamples and 8Dio libraries HSO sounds like crap. In the Sibelius domain, HSO sounds worse and need more resources than NotePerformer, that works very good for 2GB of installed content. In my humble opinion, HSO sounds very bad in comparison to my VSL Libraries DS I & II and SE Complete. However I don’t want to spend hours of time doing this as a separate exercise and I’m hoping that Dorico will produce a direct result as good as and hopefully better than Sibelius. As the composer of many works, among them 113 symphonies averaging 40 minutes each, I cannot expect to hear all of them performed in my lifetime, so I can take solace in hearing them digitised to the highest level.
The quality of the sound playback is as important to me as the quality of the printed score and I suspect for many users this will also be true. My question is: Is the quality of orchestral sound produced by the Halion Symphonic Orchestra comparable to the East West and VSL VSTs? I’ve looked through this site to try and find an answer but cannot find it. … also seems strange to me, that if you are “cross grading” from a competitors product (eg Sibelius/Finale) you can get a discount, but if you are a long term customer, and already have the other products, you cannot be treatedĬurrently I own the following VSTs: East West Platinum Orchestra, East West Symphonic Choirs, VSL Special Edition, VSL Percussion, VSL XXL Tam-tam and VSL Konzerthaus Organ. (… I know people will chime in and say that the cost is for the core software, and not the bundled plugins,īut the cold cash reality is that (a) Steinberg do SELL these add on’s and (b) without these additional add-ons, the purchaser would not be able to actually “hear” anything with Dorico ie, if it was the purchasers first ever expedition to the new digital way of scoring/engraving, and I guess finally © if they were merely just casual bundle “throw ins” then Steinberg should just about (literally) give them away, instead of selling them in their online-shop of course … I do not see them doing that The way I see it (wearing my fiscal colored rose glasses), plain vanilla Dorico should cost less minus the amounts that Steinberg are currently selling these bundled products. I already own version of HAlionSonic2 + Symphonic, and seeing as SB actually $sell these, you would think, (well I guess this is my subjective view) that the long term loyal customers that already use Cubase, HAlionSonic2, Symphonic, etc should not have to repay (Again) for these “bundled” components. +yeah, right on! I would prefer an un bundled product. Hope that Dorico will have a cheaper version without bundling HSO and Halion Sonic. I prefer VSL Special Collection Volume 01 for its more-realistic articulations regarding solo strings / woodwinds / brass. In sumery: When you just need a library for your own purpose, to check your score it will be definately an improvement.Īs I see it, it still works for orchestral mockups prior to studio recording. I had one job were I needed a sensitive Cello solo and the only sound that matches perfectly came from the out-dated Kirk Hunter, although I own nearly every library on the market (gear or girl was such an easy decision at this time LOL )īut this is another story and should be told another time.Īll libraries have one thing in common: No matter whether you use a notation program or a DAW, you will have to play to role of a conductor as well to get the most out of the library. The main goal/job dictates which library to use and most likely one is not enough.
HOW TO INSTALL EAST WEST SYMPHONIC CHOIRS SERIES
Hollywood series (EastWest), cinesamples or the strings from 8Dio. A lot of these library sounds are already treaten in a certain way ie.
In general even to high level libraries are developed to match certain jobs. I would say it is much better than Garritan or Sib-Sounds - But there is still headroom to the high level libraries - but as far as I know it is the only vsti-3 library (orchestra) that can handle note expression.
