This is a mid price mid optioned piece in the line. As a result you are limited in a couple of key areas ( mic placement...Bummer !!!! )The Platinum edition is nearly 3000.00 but you get a whole lot more of what you want with the full edition.
Price paid: 499.00 USD
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The Sound Quality is excellent !
Very Easyu to use..not so easy to install !!!
OVERALL OPINION
Love it ??? I am glad I didn't spend 995.00 which is what it is still going for. The update is around the corner ( March 05..Gold upgrade ) which will give you all the articulations from the platinum Module..I bought this arouind the holidays when they had a special going ..so if I get the upgrade I will have a total of 1499.00 into it..which is half of what everyone that bought the platinum paid when it came out ( I'd be pissed ) But oh well that's how it goes with software....having said all of this ..I do love it. The sounds are very organic and no one is going to listen back and say " you need to get rid of that Casio-ish clarinet ".The vibe is realistic. It is geared toward film score with generous amounts of mic delay on everything..if you are looking for an intimate string sound then Vienna Symphony with Gigastudio is still the way to go...that is if you can spare the 5500.00....if you can't then there is no alternative ( I have tried/owned them all )no fear here. See if you can find it for less ( ebay etc.. ) Good Luck.
