EastWest Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Silver Edition

Nothing wrong, nor install or setup, or anything else.

ADQUATION / PERFORMANCE

AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 64 bit, 1 GB RAM, Sound Blaster Live! ; (dropoff Window
1GB of RAM is good, but two is better! And yes we do computer music, no word processing.
Some crashes Cubase after having clicked on "Edit MIDI channel" but I not question the software, I think more than just my computer has ...!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I do not EWQLSO Silver since not use long, but even when I dissqu well. So voil:
- The violins are average, especially in SGBA. The bass is not bad.
- The altos fear
- Cellos also

- The horns and trumpets are good but be careful not to abuse the vlocit because the sound is really ugly
- The trombones and solo horn really miss amplitude. Can not make the copper plated trombone section !!
- I do not really objective opinion compared to wood, but the oboe is a bit cheulou: the pitch of the note played up after the attack and then redescent.

- The drums are excellent!
- Men and women choirs are sympatiques
- The keypads have not yet found their utility but will
- Alto flute A person has the utility and no harp !!! Aargh

For me the soft way sounds more and will not meet the demanding ears. It might be loved to have some spciaux pr-progamms effects for brass but too bad. However, it contains very good things and honest outdone by its price (cheaper than Edirol Orchestral rotten for example!)

On very useful tools, a composer does not fit into a PC or a Mac, whether Books, whether Pro or, whether Lion ...

The interface, despite its many knobs, sees herself drawn as a dashboard rocket, so that everyone can see his planet, he wants visited and learn the intricacies of each party to move around, so that sound is heard in the touch of a button "button called"!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The sampling (microtuning, default, Velocity Curve, followed by Glide) sharing the same section, then do hear that forms slopes, all reserved on the approach called "rising or falling" of the sound!

The filters arrived in good numbers on this sound module, have asked their conditions, although there are curves "minimalisées!"
Found there were still his affection, with, the program, the "cutoff, the reso, env, the key, the vel" and an LFO, like a like no other one; it is aware of several curves, the sound will be in that meet or inferiorized!

The instrumentation, with its traditional "Volume, Pan and Tun" do, when to them, that millimiters sensitive part of the reactor, making it unstable temperate variations!

Then comes the rule instruments fuel filter, with its varieties in connection connected to the general sampling, and filters included in their curved sections and amp instruments. Ending by treatment of LFO, which, as yet others, his entire panel!

Effects, there to offset accented torture and sound, are only matters of space and freedoms, including ENTERED space itself, the bounding thrust and return the pass soundtrack (watch returns, it can really hurt within you see ...)!

The Master Filter, then compensates too strong pushes fuel return (or linear).

Below, right, rotating wheels on a semicircle, see pitchées modulated!

OVERALL OPINION

The keyboard itself, serving only highlights the keys pressed, tight, smooth and / or sub - crying; think so not too abrutisés your keyboard, risks not being able to play ...


No, Kompakt is not dead, I assure you, I have not murdered, he still lives in Native, where he was born!




Mad Max

Installation is pretty easy, no big problems to validate the license.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

the product has never been very resource intensive. At the Core i5 and Co, there is nothing to fear from that side. Stability is required. 4 in Kontakt it works well, but now it all turns on the motor home of Quantum Leap "PLAY".

OVERALL OPINION

At the time it was a very good entry-level, fairly complete. I then bought the Gold version which is really a cut above ...
Today it remains a product that may have some interest, but still seems a bit overwhelmed at the joints and scripting capabilities found in existing banks (but more expensive). It is on that since I ALBION Spitfire, I touch more to my EWQL orchestra too ....

It's very simple installation. We choose the locations for the program and sound and it's over. Warning register the product within 5 days (better to have a computer that has internet in the area, soon many complications ...)
Test standalone and in SONAR, no problem. Everything is automatically recognized.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Running on a PIV with 1GB to 3GB of ram, I have not encountered any problem reading power.
In Sonar, do all the same not too pushed at max but in a project with 12 tracks from 8 and 4 EWSO another DXI + 4 effects processor sometimes progresses rapidly but remains gn generally around the 50% utilization. No problem of instability.
So effective optimization.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this software for 2 weeks and I am very happy. Instruments, without being extraordinary, let tural opportunity to approach the sound of an orchestra. I really like the Kompakt interface that DNote a nice array of options to change the instruments and so wish to find the right mood (effects only native instruments like the reverb is not great even in that kontakt I had the opportunity to try). The report qualitprix is ​​unbeatable. For less than 300 was a whole orchestra, certainly lacks articulations and instruments but at least there is a piano of quality (that are found in orchestras gnralement not), a organ (organist apprciable when one is lol!) and choirs ...
I referrer this choice all the more you can upgrade versions suprieures same samples that contain more than many other 24-bit, three mic positions etc etc ...
