Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Well programmed, with great tone. Lacks word building, but the content that is present is gorgeous.

An amazing versatile tool, extremely rich and expressive.

Eric Whitaker Choir goes above and beyond any other choir sample library I’ve ever heard. It sparkles with life and emotion, and when I’m playing it feels like I’m with those guys in Air. Straight out of the box, I composed the best piece of music yet. Super awesome!!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Beautifully put together, fabulous amounts of articulations that were needed on the market. The sound quality is top and the interface is easy to use. I highly recommend this to any composer or music producer. It is really inspiring!

I hoped the Eric Whitacre choir would be good and very usable ,It didn't disappoint, I was amazed at how great it sounded especially comparing it to any choirs or choirs sounds i already had. I haven't had it long but I've already used it in one of my song productions and loved the sense of warmth and the epic character it added so easily. I'm looking forward to using it so much more as I sat for hours mesmerised at the sound of this beautiful choir at my somewhat clumsy fingertips, but still manage to make it sound good. 5 stars...

Have only started using this but it sounds great - samples are very playable, tuning is very good and it's easy to create a beautiful homogenous sound. My only gripe is that sopranos don't extend up to a B or at least a high Bb, altos to an E, tenors to an A and basses to a D. So glad there aren't any boring 'Kyrie' and 'Sanctus' phrases!

Human emotions cramped into 160 Gb of choir library magic!

I fell in love with what you do once I discovered the BBC symphonic orchestra which I use in my music projects. I had to deal with customer support some times in order to raise some bugs but they were quick to reply and managed to fix them in the next patch release. Very pleasant experience. The UI (usability) and quality of what you produce is unmatched. Same applies here with Whitacre Choir. 10/10

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

These libs are an inspiration in the best possible way. I hate it when a sound tries to be the whole track. This does not happen with Spitfire.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Felt a bit daunted by this initially. I'm not a composer or keyboard player (was a guitarist back in the day) so approached it with a bit of trepidation. Needn't have worried. The custom apps make it really easy to get going and the choir is brilliant at taking you off on paths you might not have thought of. Come day 2 I'd pretty much made my first short track. The articulations are amazing & those + a great series of instructional videos make working with the software a real pleasure. I love it already.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Really great stuff! Awesome instrument to experiment with and sounds which really enrich my compositions!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The quality of this choir is top notch! Their are so many options and nuances you can work with, mixed with other sounds it is just phenomenal. I haven't heard a better choir instrument short of recording your own.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Wonderful sounding chorus. Spitfire has really captured the beauty of the human voice, with many subtle variations and evolutions. The download is very large, make sure you have enough time and disk space.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely stunning collection. Played it for hours upon install, getting lost in the heavenly bliss of those angelic voices. Could've used maybe a couple more 'epic' patches, but that's nitpicking. Overall, one of the best Spitfire products, imho.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I knew this would be good, but it seemed to be expensive for just one library. However, it doesn't take long after opening either of the two instruments to appreciate the incredible scale of what's on offer here. I admit that I haven't had a huge amount of time to experiment with these samples yet, but even after a good couple of hours, I've barely scratched the surface. And, of course, the quality is amazing. The first choir samples I've heard that offer a sense of the singers' individual characters. It's just an absolute pleasure to use.
