Full of details. Would have lowed more consonant sounds. Would love a clever SPITFIRE-world-class Word Builder some day....

Crafted and conducted by Grammy winner Eric Whitacre and showcasing his elite family of singers, this encyclopaedia of the voice will enrich your compositions. With these sounds at your fingertips, you will start to think differently about the human voice.

Recorded in the widescreen resonance of The Hall at AIR Studios, Eric Whitacre Choir shares the acoustic DNA of Spitfire’s orchestral range and is designed to complement and blend seamlessly with each of these libraries — all presented in our easy to use, award-winning dedicated plugin, including an Evo Grid for instant inspiration.

Beautiful voices. Once you get the feel of how to use them in the most effective way (in a particular genre) they will work magically in your score.
Very beautiful choir makes it easy to write emotionally engaging tracks
Just superb! Great blend with my other orchestral libraries
It’s an absolutely stunning library! Its nuanced and really dynamic, with an unrivalled level of detail. Not every patch is a winner, and its not a one stop library, but for me it offers more scope and a breadth of tonal possibilities than any other current choir library. Theres a significant amount here. It almost feels like 2 libraries worth of content sometimes! It can go from Gregorian, all the way to pop. I haven’t quite managed to hit the godly heights of a Beach Boys styled barbershop quartet sound yet, (Its a lot more than four voices for one thing) but it gets stupidly close, with some tweaking and a certain 3rd party reverb. Whatever your jam, it will cover a ton of bases. Dark brooding tenors and bases, yes! Light airy tenors and bases, also yes! Epic emotional altos and sopranos, yes! Frightened and tense altos and sopranos, also yes! You get the idea. It doesn’t cover every choral style, but it does pretty much cover all tonal varieties, moods and flavours. Getting human performances, packed full of emotion is also easy and fun. Its hard to really explain how naturally the voices sit with each other acoustically, its as rich, realistic and musical as choir libraries go. I doubt you’ll find anything that can beat it, in that regard. The mic selection is great and not too overwhelming, which I liked. The only downsides for me have been that its an absolute resource hog, and I’ve encountered a few glitches with the Spitfire player here and there. Nothing that gets in the way of composing, and nothing I can’t live with, but its worth noting nonetheless. For my money, and at least as of 2020, this is the choir library to beat all other choir libraries.
Such a beautiful virtual instrument. The quality of the product is very high and is a easy to play. Truly Inspiring!
Very Nice Choir library. Sounds gorgeous. The only limitation I see here is that it's probably not a loud dynamic epic phrase library if you are looking for.
Absolutely breathtaking library.. an absolute pleasure to work with !!! So inspirational!!!!
Amazing what human voices working in harmony can do.
Amazing Choir! Eric and Spitfire Audio did an amazing job 👍
some male voices are weird sounding on long notes but high notes of women are really great.
It’s pure magic!
Amazing! Some of the neiboursampled sounds sound synthezised under certain circumstances. But its by far the best choir ive ever used.
This is one of the best choirs you can currently buy! Excellent attention to detail and a ton of interesting sounds to work with. I do wish there was an exaggerated vibrato technique, but you’ll be hard pressed to find that in any choir
I feel that this library offers a perspective on the choir not provided anywhere else. It doesn't do everything, (there is no word builder obviously) but what it does is unique.
Even though it doesn't have a word builder or phrase presets, this library is so rich in content! The articulations are countless and the EVOs are simply one of the best tools they could have added to this library. Samples are clean, smooth and warm, but can also be choppy, rough and cold (in a good way!) depending on the presets and articulations. It really is a must to add to your compositions.
It's beautiful, flawless. Simply the finest choir sample library. Don't be fooled by others with size, or gimmicks. Spitfire has sampled one the the worlds best chamber choirs. So when you have the finest raw material and the spitfire attention to the smallest detail you eill not resist this
You press buttons. Music comes out. Yet, if you spend the time to sift through every nook and cranny of the suite, the potential only grows and grows. The world of choir libraries need to up their game. Spitfire has knocked it out of the park.
Inredibly nice compiled set of features and articulations. Just floored me.
As I've been moving from appreciating the human voice in music less to appreciating it more, it's only natural that I would include it more in my work than before. The EWC offers an enormous variety of textures and sounds - of bespoke quality - that are rather inspiring to work with. Either as a placeholder for a real choir to actually singing lyrics or, and this is how I'm using it at the moment, as an addition to an orchestral composition that adds different tonal colours, textures to it. It makes more possible and allows for more interesting compositions.
