So my ultimate question is: How is Hollywood Orchestra, and how is Opus? Should I take a leap and get it and give EastWest another chance, or should I get Iconica instead since I'm already satisfied that it works well?Ĭlick to expand.Don't let your experience with PLAY deter you from OPUS. So I'm worried, particularly in light of the fact that they are now dumping Play for some MORE new software. Play had all sorts of issues, the biggest being that it didn't know how to fast bounce properly, it'd cut off tails, you had to do realtime bounces and they acted as though this was a completely unsolvable problem. I bought some of their libraries back when they transitioned from Kontakt to their own Play software and it was a disaster to put it mildly. However, the thing that holds me back is I really don't like EastWest. It is $100 less, which is nice (I don't make any money on this, it is all for fun), contains more stuff and looks like it probably has a good deal more dynamic layers for things, plus more RR samples. Well, that makes me interested in Hollywood Orchestra. Probably biggest complaint I have is a number of instruments don't have many dynamic layers. Halion is rock solid in my experience, so I like that too, and it doesn't seem to be too heavy on the system. I am not blown away, but so far the recording quality seems good, and I like the tonal choices. I own Halion and Steinberg offers a free trial, so I have tried Iconica and it is pretty good. Both Steinberg Iconica and EW Hollywood Orchestra are on sale right now for $500 and $400 respectively. I'm not real satisfied with my current orchestral options and so I'm debating spending a bit to buy a new orchestral library.
