kevin H Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I’m leaning towards AR1 because of the upcoming orchestral foundations modular system Christian discusses in video I posted above at 12:58. Seems you will be able to mix and match which sounds pretty cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin H Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 No more leaning. I went with AR1 Mostly to invest in future even over BBC upgrade to Core. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Well I opted to get the upgrade from East West Symphonic Orchestra Gold to Platinum. I had forgotten that I only had Gold, so that was the most affordable thing for me to do... I REALLY wanted AR1....but even the payments would have been tough... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin H Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 For you I think that made the most sense. Christian said he is at heart a drum and bass producer and I mostly produce electronic music and can barely play my electric guitars so what do we know hahah 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also still on EWSO Gold (though did upgrade HO). How much and how good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yan Filiatrault Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 11 hours ago, cclarry said: My main leaning towards HCD is that you get the Opus Engine and Orchestrator, and I already have Hollywood Orchestra Diamond (old version)... and the fact that it's 66% off as opposed to 51% off....decisions decisions... Orchestrator is with the Hollywood orchestra, not the Hollywood choirs. Those are 2 different products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Finally got me licenses!!! EWSO Platinum is 117 Gb. 48 Gb for Strings, 34.5 Gb for Brass, 13.8 for Percussion, 24.2 for Woodwinds... 24 bit 44.1 Khz Sample Rate. (Platinum Plus only adds the 16 bit version - which I don't care about - I still have the Gold 16 bit Version for "scaled back use"!) Just started downloading, so will post back when I get a chance to use (in Opus)! Edited August 9, 2021 by cclarry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locrian Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Wow! I just played around with BBCSO Core (an upgrade for me from Discover) and the sound of this library is extraordinary! And so simple to setup and use (I cheated and downloaded Cubase templates from Spitfire). This is, far and away, the best $240 I've ever spent. I'm going to be up *very* late tonight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Strings are LOVELY. Just some info...Opus just runs the "Play" interface for the "Old" Instruments. The only one's that received the Opus Facelift - a "new" interface, are the Opus Edition Hollywood Orchestra Instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Gold didn't sound good, But these samples are far superior IMO. They really sound lovely! (especially at the pricepoint!)

cclarry Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) When the upgrade from HOD to HODO goes to $99 I might consider it... $495 will NEVER happen! And, for what it's worth, this is TWICE the size of Abbey Road One, and almost 6 times the size of BBC Orchestra Core Edited August 9, 2021 by cclarry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Been downloading HO Opus Gold today to get a feel of the Orchestrator tomorrow before I download HO Opus Diamond. Next I’ll compare with BBCSO Pro. Fun times ahead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
