Are you having trouble with samples loading in the evo plugin? Play something in, save it with the plugin closed, then close your DAW and open the project and see if the samples will play. Spitfire are aware of the problem and admit it's a fault at their end, but are reluctant to address the situation. The samples will load if you save and open with the evo plugin open. Great review by the way.

[@Zaleskee]

another high level tutorial/review!.

[@SecondTierSound]

Cheers!

[@swessels]

Excellent review. Thank you. Your composition examples really let EWC shine. This was one of the 1st Spitfire Libraries I purchased. I'm still discovering how versatile it is.

[@SecondTierSound]

Thank you! It's a great library

[@marcdeschryver7687]

Have it too…it’s a beautiful library. Not for all styles but, very useful. Of course for more epic stuff, I go for Lacrimosa or the choirs in Metropolis Ark 1 or 5.

[@SecondTierSound]

Good tip. Performance samples also work wonders here.

[@marcdeschryver7687]

Yeah, they are very punchy snd energetic😊

[@saruphim2548]

I want this so so bad but it is insanely expensive at around 599usd. I just bought BBCSO Core but now i wish i had bought this Choir instead. Now i'm stuck! :(. This is exactly what i need in my workflow as im a choir person myself. it's on sale right now for 369usd at the time i'm writing this but it's still very expensive. Gonna have to wait some years now before i can get it. ugh!! Thanks for the review sam! we appreciate it.

[@SecondTierSound]

I feel you. Enjoy the core. It is great and much more versatile. 🙂

There's Originals Epic Choir with 29 £€$. You can do the same with a few tracks and effects, except legatos. And it has syllabes, opposite to this library ! The randomise is too complicated. The important thing missing in Spitfire choir libraries is singers breathing. It's less important when you pay 29 than when you pay 599, but I don't understand how it could have been "forgotten " ( really ? ).

[@Noctarilfate]

It sounds beautiful, but it's always been on the expensive side (even when on sale). I probably won't be picking this up unless they do a deep (>60%) discount.

[@SecondTierSound]

It's a little pricey yes

[@makingmusiconline2309]

Well, it’s 60% off in the Pro Bundle, but you’d have to buy other things too. On the other hand, you could get 40% off the Originals Choir, or get the free LABS Choir. 8Dio have been doing big discounts on their choirs over the last few weeks, but I don’t know if those discounts will come round again.

[@dutonic]

I'm trying to write an ethereal choral piece and EW hollywood choirs is just not doing it for me. This is expensive but I do get the 30% student discount. I'm actually astonished by the depth, texture, and customizability of this plugin. No amount of modulation and processing will let me create these kinds of detailed sounds from other libraries. RIP party money, I'm coming Eric!

[@SecondTierSound]

This choir is better for what you are trying to do for sure. Hollywoods party piece is the word builder, but struggles with other things.

[@thailandemonamour6910]

I am sorry, but except legatos, you can do the same with Originals Epic Choir with a few tracks and effects. The price of this "small" library is 29 £€$ ( with syllabes ) not 599 crazy price ! The randomise is too complicated by definition, so not interesting for me. The important thing missing in Spitfire choirs libraries is singers breathing. How can it have been forgotten ? 😡😡😡
