The EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra was recorded where orchestral instruments sound their most natural - in a ‘state of the art’ Concert Hall.

Listen to the pure beauty of the Symphonic Orchestra and 125 million dollar Concert Hall that were recorded with the highest quality custom built recording equipment, by audio legend - Prof. Keith O. Johnson - recipient of two Grammys, plus eight additional Grammy nominations for his 90 plus Classical Recordings.

This is the first 24-bit orchestral sample library to include three simultaneous stereo mic setups (close, stage and hall), so users can mix together any combination of mic positions to control tonality and ambience.

A major benefit of this recording philosophy is the tonal control the three simultaneous stereo tracks provide. Users can literally alter the tone and ambience of any instrument or section by incrementally moving out from the close mics, to the stage mics, to the hall mics (an audio zoom) in real-time!

This "virtual repositioning of the listener" in a concert hall environment offers a surprising amount of tonal control, virtually eliminating the need for EQ; and the ambient control, using any combination of these three stereo tracks, eliminates the need for artificial reverb (which usually sounds artificial).

You can create the sound "you" want. With other orchestral libraries, you get what they give you, and apart from adding reverb and EQ, you have virtually no control over the sound of the instruments. The control of tonality and ambience in the EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra enables each user to "design" the sound of the orchestra to suit the work that is being created - no other orchestral collection offers this!

Use the stage mics for a typical big Hollywood sound; boost certain instruments by adding a hint of the close mics; add in the hall surround mics to create a surround sound mix, or to add natural hall reverb. Finally, you can say goodbye to lifeless, dry studio recordings.
