Just curious if anyone has an opinion about the East West Complete Composers Collection HD, which is on sale until the end of the month. I have Symphobia, which I love for certain things, but it's not a basic, general library, and K4 (as part of Komplete 6) and M5 strings - neither of which are great.

Anything leap out as a must have?
EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Gold Complete
EastWest/Quantum Leap Pianos Gold Edition
EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs
Quantum Leap Goliath
Quantum Leap Stormdrum 2
Quantum Leap Voices of Passion
Quantum Leap RA

Best,

Joel

What's best is the one that works best for an individual user. How do we make such a broad brush question into a real discussion? Not sure.

What can I say that hasn't already been said?

For short bowed articulations LASS is killer. For lush long bowed articulations EW Hollywood Strings is beautiful.
