    So then Guy, do you think that East West's version is superior to SOV? SOV seems to have a larger ambience or decay with it where East West appears not...can you get the sound SOV has out of East West?


    I'd have to rely on the EastWest demos I've heard, since I haven't got it yet, but yes it's true that the variety of attacks, decays and ambiance is excellent in the SOV and I must say the solo boy is very realistic! And haunting...
    But just don't think of choir chord progressions, it spoils it. But EW demos seem quite satisfactory to my ear in that regard.

    Hmm....it seems that the strenght of the East West Choir is the fact that you can say things with it's word tool...but is it weak where SOV soars which is in the ambience and samples themselves? SOV seems to be great for atmosphere layering....is East West Choir capable of sounding like SOV does in this regard or is it too piercing and not offering the soft quality....Voices of the Apocalypse for example doesn't have the soft quality of a choir but has great Operatic Falsetto. The main question I'm getting at is can East West's choir offer the ambience of SOV and the soft range which Apocalypse never really had? If so, then East West's choir has everything you want in a choir except that great Legato which VSL does best....

    That sounds pretty accurate to me.
