At a price point of $599 for the full version of the library, I would expect to hear fluid slurred transitions between notes. Where the library hits rock bottom in regards to sound though is the legato vowels. The staccatos offered are minimal, sporting only the main vowels with 2 round robins, which don’t sound particularly majestic or inspiring. You may find yourself having to add a fair amount of EQ and compression to get the choir to stand out in a medium or dense composition.

While the recordings are clear, they lack the feeling of polish that much earlier Hollywood series libraries contained (mostly due to Shaun Murphy’s engineering and careful post-production). The stage mic sports a more centered reverberant sound, while the mid and surround mics are highly reverberant. The close mic position is a mix of spot mics that sound drier. The main mic position (which comes standard for Composer Cloud subscribers) is a balanced “decca tree” mic position that captures the choir with a close but reverberant sound. There are plenty of dynamics available by riding CC1, so you can get a very soft sound, and push it all the way up to double forte when needed. The Gold and Diamond versions can also be purchased outright without a subscription.Īt a surface level, the provided sustains sound reasonably adequate.
The library comes in 3 versions – Gold, which contains the main mic position, for “Composer Cloud” subscribers on East West’s site, Gold with main and surrounds mics for “Composer Cloud X” subscribers, and Diamond with all mics for “Composer Cloud Plus” subscribers. Depending on which version of the library you have, it may take longer to install, but apart from that, it’s a painless procedure. Installing the library only requires a few clicks and choose which folder to install, then the installer pretty much does the rest. The library itself doesn’t contain the PLAY engine, so that must first be downloaded and installed if not already done so. Hollywood Choirs is designed for cinematic and orchestral use via East West’s PLAY engine, featuring multiple mic positions, a variety of vowel and consonant sustain for both male and female sections, and a robust word-builder designed to create custom lyrical performances. The two companies parted ways during the production of the Hollywood series and regrouped to release a new addition to the series called Hollywood Choirs. I’ll be covering the library’s look, sound and usability to give you an overall idea of what to expect from the library.ĮastWest/Quantum Leap are partner companies responsible for the production and creation of critically acclaimed libraries such as Stormdrum, Symphonic Orchestra and the Hollywood Orchestra series many years ago. Today we are having a close look at Hollywood Choirs – a cinematic choir library developed by East West and Quantum Leap.
