Gold Pro or Platinum?
Hello all!
I have, as probably many of you also, the current dilemma of deciding which route to go: EWQLSO Gold Pro upgrade or join the Plat GB. Granting that I have sufficient hardware to run either, would I be better off canceling my Gold Pro upgrade and jumping on the GB bandwagon? Or would I be missing out on key features such as Qlegato? (I cannot afford both.) I guess it boils down to this: new samples/Qlegato, or 24 bit/3 mic positions???  Any and all input is greatly appreciated. TIA,

No input??? Okay, can I at least get a vote out of you all??
Gold Pro with new samples and Qlegato OR Platinum with 24 bit and 3 mic positions? What's your fancy? Blessings,

I'm wondering the same thing and I was hoping for some answers also. Been playing with the gold samples that have C, F and S mics and while I do hear a great difference I still don't know if Platinum would be the better choice.

Though I love the EWQL Platinum sound, I have GOLD and honestly I have not used even 50 percent of the libraries capabilities.
As far as the three mic posution, beautiful in my opinion, but I'd rather save my money and get first a better system to run GOLD on and hopefully in the future (Doug? Nick?) aquire Collosus and RA in Group buy form....I bought Silver a year ago, the got GOLD and Perc Adv 2 from EW as a bundle deal, so hopefully I'll do that with RA and Collusus, not really interested in S Choirs yet, that's why I did not get the three bundle. But nonetheless, Platinum awesome and If I were not on a tight budget I would get the Platinum Group Buy, because I just don't need so many different articulations, so choosing between three mic positions (sound) and Gold Pro (articulations) I would go with the Group Buy. Best of luck, congrats on the 41 subscribers to the Plat Edition. EW deserves this and this is great for their customer base! |

I think for the most part it all comes down to whether or not you're going to want to control ambience or not. Have you heard the percussion demo comparing side by side the various mic placements?
It may help to have a listen: http://www.soundsonline.com/demos/EWQLSO_Percussion.zip

Also, many are running Platinum on one computer. Sure, you have to bounce more with one computer, but that's just a time issue. With a little more effort you can achieve the same result as the top pros after you mix the three mic positions in your audio sequencer. - Doug Last edited by Doug Rogers; 04-08-2005 at 12:23 PM. |

Thanks to all those who responded thus far. As I see it, here are the current results of the poll:
Gold Pro (with new articulations and Qlegato) - 0 Platinum (with 24 bit samples and 3 mic positions) - 2 So, which do you prefer (granting you have sufficient hardware to run either), Gold Pro or Plat? Keep those votes comin' in, peoples!  Blessings,

Platinum if you can swing it. I would think. Even though that 2 b-flat trumpet section is looking quite nice in gold pro.
