EastWest Voices of Opera
$299 USD
Bottom Line:
There is nothing else quite like Voices of Opera on the market nor another developer brave enough to attempt it. A solid addition to the ‘Voices’ range making this category an attractive drawcard for the brand

Brainworx BX_Console E & G Review
Bottom Line
At $299 each these are little pricey, but considering you’re really buying a complete 72 channel console, I would highly recommend buying both E and G variants purely for the wide variety of options that open up when you have both. Either way, you are investing an exciting company with some serious high-end devices that will become mainstay go-to tool in your DAW for a long time to come

UVI Key Suite Acoustic
$199 USD
Bottom Line:
There is no doubt Key Suite Acoustic offers excellent value for money. In my view, it would be so with just half of the included instruments
StudioWise
Native Instruments Electric Sunburst
$99 USD
Bottom Line:
This is such an exciting synth, easily one of my favourites. The clever workflow rewards experimentation, but never leaves you feeling lost for inspiration
StudioWise
Best Service Dark Era & Celtic Era
$199 USD each
Bottom Line:
I really like both these libraries and would struggle to choose just one. Both provide light and dark shades perfect for the genre and truly deserve to be used together
StudioWise
UVI FM Suite
$149 USD
Bottom Line:
Where Vintage Vault 2 may be a little too broad for some people, FM Suite squarely focuses on classic FM heritage in a well-curated and value bundle
StudioWise
D16 Group PunchBOX
$195 USD
Bottom Line:
LuSH-101 certainly has a retro vibe but the presets and general design of the instrument pushes more towards contemporary EDM and pop
StudioWise
Spitfire Audio LCO Textures
$359 USD
Bottom Line:
Composers looking for something a little left-field will find LCO Textures quirky and atmospheric sound a tempting consideration
StudioWise
Spitfire Audio Eric Whitacre Choir
$599 USD
Bottom Line:
I am so pleased Spitfire has started venturing down this path and I can’t wait to see future developments with choral groups. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sample libraries of its type available and I suggest it should be required buying for connoisseurs and composers alike
StudioWise
EastWest Voices of Soul
$295 USD
Bottom Line:
In an increasingly busy market, EastWest has produced a simple yet charismatic and playable instrument that will no doubt offer a wide appeal to producers in all genres
