Anyone used East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra with Reaper?
Hi guys,
I'm looking at getting the East West Symphonic Orchestra Silver software and was wondering if it worked ok with Reaper or not? There is no mention of Reaper at all on the website (well I can't find it). It mentions whether it works or not with other DAW's though. I assume it does work with Reaper but don't want to buy this and find it doesn't.
It works I think. EW doesn't officially support Reaper, but IIRC Cockos did some compatibility tweaks to make Reaper work with PLAY.
Me? I'm still using the Kontakt verison. Much better, if you ask me.
Ok, Kontakt 5 is also an option I've been looking at but I'm not sure as to how much that has to offer me. Does that have a great sound library for orchestral music? Thats all I'm looking for. I know Kontakt has extras which I wouldn't use and therefore thought EWQL Symphony Orchestra would be better for me both for content and price.
Anyone else have any experience with EWQL Symphonic Orchestra and Reaper?
The current version of QL Play works well with Reaper. Once you load Play, you have access to all of your QL packages at once from within the Play browser. This makes it easy to load and audition different instruments when looking for the right sound.
Does that have a great sound library for orchestral music?
For sure. Tons of them. Check out LASS, Cinematic Strings 2, Spitfire libraries, Cinesamples, ProjectSAM, Orchestral Tools... a lot of developers are out there.
Like ED I've got EW-Gold in Kontakt and it works great.
Does Play have DFD mode or does it have to load the samples into memory? That certainly something to consider, although I don't know the answer to that.
