fjz Posted yesterday at 03:31 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:31 PM I've never owned an EastWest library before and I'm a little overwhelmed by the choices offered. I'd like to give one a try. If you were to recommend one for an all around great library of instruments, what would it be? I'm more interested in regular sounding instrument (as opposed to the sound effects kinda stuff - if that makes any sense). So far, I'm looking at an leaning towards Goliath, but would love to see your recommendations if you have any. Thanks fj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks fj not sure what that means.......the usual stuff requires a lot of disk space which makes it tough if you are an EW fanboy their older orchestra is still a gem and also their pianos Curious if anyone has Backup Singers and is it any different from Realivox the Ladies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part is you can preview all the instruments in their Opus engine and download only the instruments/articulations you want to check out. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched some of the Walkthrough vids for both Ghostwriter and Goliath. As an example, a bass guitar sound I heard in Ghostwriter is processed and mangled so much that it sounds more like a sound effect to me, while a bass guitar patch in Goliath sound like a regular bass guitar. I hope that makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Wouldn’t go for Goliath. Even though it’s a general use library, it’s quite old. Better jump on one of the recent libs, like Hollywood Strings 2, or Fantasy Voices, or Iconic, or Ancient Kingdom, or Forbidden Planet. Depending on whether you prefer strings, vocals, flutes or synths. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for weighing in guys, but I went with Goliath. Yes, I have basses and guitars covered, but there seems to be a lot of other stuff in there that seems to sound really good that I know I'll use. I was more interested in acoustic instruments rather than synths and vocal stuff. Hard drive space was also a consideration. I'm okay with 40 GB for Goliath. Hollywood Strings 2 is a bit much at 160 GB (as great as I'm sure it sounds) . Anyway, I think this will be a good library to get my feet wet with EastWest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely pick something up, and I was looking for newer libraries as well. Though I'm an IT guy by trade, I don't do AI, ChatGPT, Co-Pilot, etc. that much. However, ChatGPT is pretty good at doing deep dive web searches. I asked it for its best guess on a complete list of libraries, and this is what is gave me.
