(just kidding, the amount of really great value videos they put out for free is astounding, especially around the BBCSO).
However, all that is offset by a couple of baffling design decisions: it is inconsistent with the articulations across instruments, the player just sucks absolute donkey balls (I mean, seriously no purge or routing different articulations to different outputs?!), it's 600+ gb yet it has way too few dynamic layers and round robins, the brass kinda sucks (let's face it), and it has too many mics no one ever uses. It is flexible, and it is complete, and it has more instruments than OPUS. To give my very honest answer, owning both: BBCSO Pro has a gorgeous tone, and also a ton of articulations. Don't let anyone's disdain for EW's marketing practices tell you otherwise (because their marketing is iffy sometimes). Some other packages might be more specialized in certain areas, some might have a certain sound (in this case, BBCSO does have a 'sound'), but OPUS (especially Diamond) is much more than the sum of it's parts. Like EW or not (I myself have been very vocal against EW's marketing team and even Nick Phoenix himself), their orchestral package is still the one to beat. There's a reason it's that big (over 900GB(!)), and that reason is not 20 mic positions of which you'll never use 15 or so. I could go on.ĥ mics (you know, the ones you actually need), tons of articulations, tons of round robins, tons of dynamic layers. All the important articulations (and tons of less important or unique articulations) are in there, it's flexible, the player (OPUS) is the best one on the market right now. It's, in my opinion, after using Hollywood Diamond for several years and having upgraded and using OPUS, the best all in one orchestral package out there.
