Eastwest / Quantum Leap Goliath Review

“Cons: ”

Written on: 15/01/2011 by barrett (42 reviews written)

Cons:



interface is too basic and simplistic: no splits, zones, layers, etc;

some of the sounds, like the pianos, have a very narrow dynamic range,although they have a great sound quality. Lenghty installation (6 DVDs).



Pros:

excellent 'all in one' tool for composers. Excellent for videogame soundtracks. Great selection of ethnic instruments, which cannot be found in any other libraries, except the 'RA' library from the same company.



Some guitar sounds are very average, but some others are great, check out 'Hot Wing' demo from the Goliath demos on it's website.

Sounds, generally, are of a very high quality.



You'll find also an impressive 'film special effect' collection called 'Stormdrone'.



All in all, this is a really great collection of impressive sounds. It's not perfect, but it's still a great tool. I bought my copy with the 'buy 1 get 1 free' and got Symphony Orchestra Gold for 'free', which is another stunning library, which I'll probably review soon.
