Gold Edition Upgrades

We are pleased to announce upgrades of the CLOSE MICS and CONCERT HALL MICS as additions to our popular GOLD COMPLETE - PLAY EDITION!

Interactive Mic Mixer

Use the faders and pan controls to adjust the sound. Enable and disable the mic positions by clicking on the blue "Loaded" lights.

Users of Symphonic Orchestra Gold Plus can now have the same level of real-time control of ambience and tone control that have until now only been available to users of the Platinum Editions. Each mic set appears in the PLAY microphone mixer with its own level and pan control. There's no need to switch from one plug-in to another to get total control of your sound!

Please note, as each upgrade has to be verified and prepared for shipping, your credit card will be charged upon ordering, and orders will be shipped in the order they were received. Additional mic positions must be installed on the same computer as the original installation.

Reviews
“The reprogrammed-from-scratch update of EastWest/Quantum Leap's orchestra goes way beyond cosmetic surgery. The sound - big, bold, naturally reverberant, tailored for the big screen - is stronger than ever and the comprehensive instrumentation and performances (unchanged from the Pro XP version) meet most symphonic requirements. In addition, the Play Edition's new features and improved keyswitching make the library much easier to handle and give increased control of articulations, both vital factors when handling the myriad performance variations of a full score. For once, this is a case of a Hollywood remake that actually improves on the original!”
— SOUND ON SOUND
“Across the board EWQLSOs samples have a fatness to them that other libraries don't quite capture. Ultimately, the level of warmth and detail in the recordings, multiple mic perspectives, flexible ensemble sizes, and wide range of articulations make EWQLSO an obvious choice for anyone whose goal is to produce ultra-realistic MIDI mockups.”
— KEYBOARD (Orchestral Library Roundup)
Recorded by 11-time Grammy nominated classical recording engineer Prof. Keith O. Johnson, the EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA is the most awarded orchestral collection ever, and the only orchestral collection to be recorded in a "state of the art" concert hall where orchestras mainly perform.

To achieve the feel of a live concert hall performance, each instrument and section was recorded with three mic positions, close, stage (conductor‘s position) and hall. By selecting different mic positions, users can mix these sounds together to create any kind of natural ambience their project requires. This eliminates the need for artificial reverb.

The EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA eclipses all others with the highest level of fidelity and realism. Get that big "Hollywood Sound" film/tv/games directors and producers seek "out of the box", no other orchestral collection comes close or is as easy to use!
