Hi @Christopher Karl, welcome to the community! 🙂

Hi @Candina Ann, welcome to the community! 🙂

I don't really know what I could recommend in that price range. Maybe 8dio - I don't know if you have any of their libraries. They often have different bundles on sale, including choirs (because they are older libraries). I have to admit that although I have some of their libraries, I don't really use them, but probably because I have an alternative. From what I've heard, many people think their samples are pretty good, but people don't like their GUI, and maybe the samples were slow to load for some. I just checked, you can get the entire 6 choir bundle for $160, and they also have the Vivaldi Violin library for $99. Personally, if I needed something like that, I would probably buy it because I think the samples are good in any case. Of course, there are better and newer, better programmed samples, but for this price I think you'll have a hard time finding anything better. Be sure to check out their website and watch some review videos. And yes, EW is definitely a good choir library, especially since you can get it for that price. https://8dio.com/products/all-choirs?variant=44061166076104 https://soundpaint.com/products/vivaldi-solo-violin

@Alex Pfeffer Of course, I agree. It's better to have one product that serves its purpose well and is easy to use than a bunch of others. I also plan to buy a Chorus at some point, but for now I'm okay with what I have. I've used EW, Oceania and something from the MA series, but this is definitely on my radar.

@Aleksander Tho I completely agree with @Tarek Mg. Personally, I've never found Dolce appealing. But maybe that will change someday. 😅

@Tarek Mg Yes, I understand. I have some libraries from Audio Imperia, but I definitely don't need more strings. 🙂

@Jens Lötzsch Oh yeah, that's a really cool feature. I've been in the same situation as you described. It would just be nice if it was possible to listen to a little more than 5 seconds (if I'm not mistaken, that's how long the audio preview is).

@Gavin Nellist I totally agree. If you ask me, I think there are a lot of new cool features, but personally, expression maps are definitely the best thing that's happened in the last few years. Just the fact that I can have one track per instrument is so cool.

@Vlad Kozlov Good to know, thanks for the information. I'd hardly see this anywhere. Although I'm not sure I'll be able to participate, maybe there is a possibility. 🙂 Thanks again.
