As a composer working in the computer games industry, Im often working to tight deadlines and turnaround times. It sounds first class, right out of the box, and I find I dont need to do any panning or EQing - trying to make instruments sit in the mix. The emotional quality of the samples make my compositions sing and really show how much sweat and love were put into the creation of the library. As choir director, I need an orchestral sample set that exudes realism and impact, since our broadcasts cover the globe by radio and internet I'm pleased to report that Pro XP fits the bill quite exquisitely!
While it's not exactly miraculous these days to have access to good orchestral samples, it seems nothing short of miraculous to me to have this level of quality and realism available at my fingertips. There is simply no other library - at any price - that compares with the overall sound, usability and capability of EWQLSO. And of course the "Pro" expansions take the product so far into the next realm that the competition might as well pack up and go home!
Across the board Pro XP's 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 Pro XP an obvious choice for anyone whose goal is to produce ultra-realistic MIDI mockups. A big, bountiful, powerful, expressive, sonically superior collection of top-quality orchestral sounds, recorded in a first-class concert hall, played, recorded and programmed by expert practitioners, waiting to burst into life in your compositions.
The production room and recording gave it a great finished sound out of the box. Anyone interested in adding sampled orchestral sounds to their productions would have to consider this terrific library. No other orchestral samples have achieved this level of realism and fidelity.
I can actually hear my compositions come together as I write them, because EWQLSO has the sound of a world class orchestra, right out of the box. It's a whole new world. This is a beautifully recorded and expensive sounding! Virtual is not a word I use very often but the Symphonic Orchestra is virtually perfect! A moment or two with the manual is enough to convince anyone with an interest in recording techniques that this is a very serious undertaking.
Talk about going the whole nine yards: these guys are purists to the point of obsession. I can't compare this to every orchestral sample library on the market but if there's a better one I'll be amazed. In short, this is a staggering library, and it is a rare treat that we see such a well planned and thought out product come to fruition in this way.

Soft modifies the sound for slower, more emotional passages. Epic Mood does the opposite, giving you a sound perfectly suited for your next Action Adventure score. Shawn Murphy is one of the most prolific sound engineers and mixers in the history of cinema. He was the mastermind behind the creation of Cubase, Nuendo, and Studio One. Then we were able to bring in Wolfgang Scheneider, the creator of Kontakt. With these two titans of music software development now on our now, we decided it was time to develop a brand new software engine from the ground up.
The OPUS software engine is the realization of this effort. Not only is it faster, more powerful, more flexible, and better looking than PLAY, it comes with incredible new features such as individual instrument auditioning and downloads, customized key-switches, dozens of new MIDI Tools and mixer effect, scalable retina GUI upgrades for legacy products, a powerful new script language, and many more features that allow you to completely customize the sound of each instrument.
