I must confess that I'm still working hard to find with VSL the sound that I'm after. I've been switching to VSL mainly because it offers a much larger amount of detail and realism. I've been using EWQL for a long time, and I have never been tweeking the sound, which was excellent to begin with, out of the box. Glad I took the time to go over to EW website as they now say that Steinburg has fixed the problems with Play. I'm not sure their orchestral sounds are equal to VSL. then there is the crappy customer service which negates that. A comprable amount spent at EW would give you maybe what looks like more but. The cost of a beginning package from VSL- Special Edition Vol I and SE Vol 1 plus is $830. I have seen vitrolic complaints on this web site about VSL support (not from me, mind you) and many a person who said ugly things is still hanging about. VSL support is vastly superior (not that there are not issues) and I always receive courteous and prompt replies. I loved the oohs and ahhs and other simple sounds because I found them very exhilerating.
#EWQL SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA GOLD X SURROUND SOFTWARE#
I was upset because there was so much promise to the software with being able to shape actual words into the mix. I have had a similar experience with the East West Choral product - Symphonic Choirs- and had to stop using it because they would not keep up with Steinberg-for Cubase 4.0- on bug fixes and updates.
