  • Still amazed..and thankful

    That VSL came out with Vienna SE. A friend of mine was looking at orchestral packages and ultimately went with EW Platinum because it's one sale. I own Gold Pro XP and have been using it a bit more lately since I also own the Choirs. BUT, whenever I'm laying down tracks, I find that I am replacing the Gold Pro winds with Vienna SE because of the realistic legatos. Then I start replacing the staccato strings because they sound more realistic. And then the Steinway piano from EWQL gets the boot because the Bosendorfer cuts through better.

    You get the idea. Even this morning on the way too work, I was listening to the local classical station on the radio and the short string articulations in the real orchestra sounded the most like my Vienna SE strings. The only thing I usually stray away from with Vienna is the percussion which I admit sounds better in Gold Pro to my ears. Aside from that, even the brass from Vienna SE sounds more realistic.

    Great job on this packages gents! It continues to inspire and allow me to produce music that sounds pretty darn close to the real thing.
