East West Hollywood Choirs Diamond for $132.61 with code FORUM
https://www.jrrshop.com/eastwest-hollyw ... rs-diamond

Will this bring me the full functional new Opus engine as well ?

And will I be able to run my old Symphonic Choirs and Voice of the apoccalypse inside Opus also ?

Once you buy one library that comes with Opus, you will be able to use it with all other libraries that you own that are supported by Opus.
Check the individual libraries at Eastwest to see if they support Opus.

Just got aorund one of the FAQ's
Seemingly only Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition will give you Opus

Will I be able to upgrade to the Opus engine without buying Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition?

Currently you must purchase Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition to get the OPUS software. People who purchase any other EastWest product post-release will also get OPUS. All ComposerCloud members will automatically get OPUS. But we are going to wait a while before allowing previous PLAY product purchasers to upgrade in order to assist our support team during this major upgrade period. When we do provide that option, it will be a paid upgrade.

It says this on the product page which is the same that it says for more recent vocal libraries:

"Now included in OPUS, with individual downloads, custom keyswitches, and dozens of MIDI Tools and Mixer Effects."
https://www.soundsonline.com/vocals/hollywood-choirs

I think what it means is that if you bought it before OPUS was released, you don't get OPUS, but if you buy it now, you do.

Look here:
https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/vi ... nd-edition

What's Included? HOLLYWOOD CHOIRS includes:

A collection of men and women choir instruments
A WordBuilder program that turns text into sung words
Approximately 59 GB of 24-bit, 44.1 khz samples, All Mixes (Diamond Edition)
EastWest's OPUS Software including a new instrument search database
A license that identifies the product you purchased
Hollywood Choirs and OPUS User Manuals (PDFs)

Thanks, looks a bit more optimistic for sure, but confusing, its not just that English
is not my spoken language, but confusing FAQ for sure

Now that I already got the old Symphonic Choirs its another question if the two prodcts
supply eachother well, or the overlab is to big,..

Surprise surprise,.. not that many good deals on that one ,.. and a greedy 995 default

No actual upgrade path

Thanks EW for making it easy for me to stay on play-engine with what I already got

You saved me 150 bucks for the Hollywood deal ,.. and in return you got nothing

I’ve got the Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition, i.e. the Opus player.
But…although the sale, the Hollywood Choirs Diamond doesn’t interest me. Why?
Because for some uncomprehensive reason, this and 10 other choirs-libraries in the market are focused only in the classical or religious sounding choir-music.
And how often you do church-music?
These libraries are practically useless for the pop/rock genres, where you need different sounding, very simple aahs and ooohs and other background harmonies.

I have 10 EW libraries, includung the Hollywood Backup Singers, which was a real disappointment, because you can’t separate harmony voices.

The only library partly useful for the pop/rock backing harmononies is the Realivox Ladies - but unfortunately the developer hasn’t upgraded the library for years, and e.g. the male voices are totally missing.

EW Voices of Soul and Hollywood Backup singers are both missing the male voices. Why?

So - I really don’t get these choirs developers.
Yes, the Hollywood Choirs Diamond includes the wordbuilder, but all the vocal samples are ceremonial and over pompous for the earthly pop/rock genres.

Some good thoughts, and you sure got a big point

I would not say that main target is church-music ,.. but more the cinematic blockbuster genre

They dont hide it either: https://youtu.be/sE2LG5L3g1w?si=KI5p48F4DYKcY3S9

Guess thats where the money and developement is ,.. films are orchestraded very classic

For the more common music I guess we will se something uaseable AI-based soon if any

Not that its refined enough yet

Are Plugin Alliance dynamic discounts disabled during this long-running "Build your own custom bundle" (PICK2, PICK3, or PICK4) promotion ... or have dynamic discounts been silently, permanently 86ed? I assume the promo is why no dynamic discount is being applied to plugin transfers in my cart, but it started March 20, so is this the new normal?

Got an email from Native Intruments about their new Expansion "Drum State" for $49.
I was so impressed about the Sound Demos that I instantly bought it with my $25 Coupon, so pretty cool for $24...
The big hassle: I hate the new Native Excess Downloader!!
It takes ages to get it started and installing new products is really a pain...

[Aloysius]

Where did you get the voucher?

Where did you get the voucher?

Got it from NI after I bought the KOMPLETE 14 COLLECTORS EDITION Update.

[Aloysius]

OK. Thanks.

Question resolved.

[wangeroge]

Why does the upgrade from "Autotune Pro" to "Autotune Pro 11" cost 200€??? I can get the full version for nearly the same price (currently $229.50 at KVR).

[Choikdoi]

Will you also offer that Softube - Essentials - Deal @Uncle E ?

Sorry, we don't have access to it.

It turns out I was wrong about this. Please check back mid-May.

Is this still coming soon?
