EastWest subscription
If you guys didn't know EastWest has now started a collaboration system. $49.99 a month gets you ALL their instruments. I say that is NOT a bad deal whatsoever if you ask me. That is over $11,000 of instruments for $49.99 a month. You just can't beat that. I think that was a great move from EastWest / soundsonline...

Re: So what's REALLy going on?
That's if you subscribe for the year...otherwise it's $74.99 per month & pay as you go.

Re: So what's REALLy going on?
One ongoing problem with EW (one amongst several) is that there isn't a single library in their catalog which isn't trumped by another product. Products often less expensive and almost certainly with better support. So... although I might be able to rent a Dodge Stratus for only $75/month I'd still be driving a Dodge Stratus.

I'm saying $75 a month is too much regardless what it is...in this regard that is.

Re: So what's REALLy going on?
Years ago I was one of the biggest EW fans....then came the awful PLAY transition. Caused myself and every other colleague of mine to find alternatives quickly. None of us have even given EW a peek since.

Vienna (VSL) is much better done, and so superior! But the sound is more "source", while EW gives the already processed, ready-to-eat. I have many banks EW, but I always come back to Vienna. Memory management side, Vienna is perfect. Never a problem, even with the integrated reverb.

Re: So what's REALLy going on?
Same here. EWQLSO got a lot of use even in its early days, but things have changed quite a lot since then. And the company is just atrocious. Oh the stories I've heard (and read)...

And while I get your point about the raw and up-close nature of their sound (it's intentional, as I'm sure you know) you're not stuck doing all the work in the mix -- they offer MIR which goes at least as far as the EW verbs, and even without buying MIR their basic "reverb" sounds very good. And, when you want a drier, more personal sound you CAN! Btw, I love VSL dry, or in small rooms. What a cool sound. |

BTW its not 79.99 its 49.99 for the yearly subscription. It was this or go with Photoshop's subscription but I am a music person more than a graphic person even though I've been using Photoshop since Photoshop 7. |
