you could pretend I am your mother and give me your EWQL Symphonic Choirs for mother's day as a gift.
After all, you never use them anyway. It would make your mother very happy.

Awesome Marketing - but not just Marketing! Everything I got from Tonehammer is top-notch. So I trust this being a gamechanger re choirs. BUT: at this pricepoint more info is needed !

BUT: at this pricepoint more info is needed !

For starting out: I really want to know how big it is :3. Since it is a download product.

Light and Darkness by T. B. Folmann

I am proud to present you the second Requiem demo. This time I wanted to focus a little more on the softness and FX in the library. Everything you are about to hear is made and played with Requiem. The demo was done with close mics (with reverb) and articulations cover sustains, legato, chants, solo voices and different types of FX.

So the free Kontakt player only gives 30 minute bits of usage for this release? So, one must buy the full Kontakt version as well if one wanted this product? As if this release wasn't expensive enough...

Looks like a great product with garbage execution.

Yeah, a lot of punishment for the paying customers.

Tonehammer is one of a very small group of developers where I regularly will hear a demo of a new product and my jaw drops and I think, these guys are so amazingly talented. And the libraries and demos are so creative. I always end up playing them to my wife! Really, thank goodness Tonehammer exists.

Every post I make about their new products might as well just be a cut and paste job of the last product I commented on. Another beautiful sounding product. But, I really wouldn't expect anything else from them. I wish Tonehammer much success with this new release. Once more, kudos guys.

The water marking is completely transparent and no user will notice it, but it is there and every customer will receive custom versions of the library, but fear not - you won't notice it.

Watermarking doesn't bother me at all. Dongles do, but not watermarking.

this is really a serious question. How is watermarking punishing the paying customer?

One who is serious about spending serious $$$ on high end sample libraries (such as those from Tonehammer, BelaD, OrangeTree, Soniccouture, Pettinhouse, AcousticsampleS and many others) would know and accept that one should already own the full version of Kontakt for one to get full value out of ones' small fortune in expenditure.

Looks like a great product with garbage execution.

Sounds like a Ruth's Chris appetite with a Burger King budget.

Just because a pre-packaged rompler version is cheaper for you does not make it practical for the vendor. There are economic and business reasons to steer clear of hitching your horse to the NI wagon. For some it works, for others it's less than desirable.

Would you prefer a proprietary product with a dongle? EastWest has a great choir product. No watermark. I hear Play is up to version 2 now.
