I could get it. Do I need it? I would be lost in a world of music and never come back.

Yes, it could be a good thing if I could just buy some time to be lost.  Have you heard of any good sales on time?

I saw this sale a few days ago and wondered how it might function as an external drive, since I have a laptop. Although I have eSATA, my laptop does not play well with it for some reason, as I recently found w/my Kontakt libraries, having to switch my drive from eSATA to USB 2. I don't have firewire, either, and would have to use it as a USB 2. I'm not sure if that would create a performance issue or not. Yet I do remember reading somewhere that they recommend using either eSATA or firewire connectivity for their drive and software.

I will have to look at this seriously. What libraries do you presently have?

The only one I have is the Symphonic Orchestra Silver edition... It's still the Kompakt edition from Native Instruments..
I haven't upgraded to the new one yet....
That's a whole lot of software for $900. Especially when you consider that
just 3 of these is about $1200 @$395 each...

I would use it, yes. I already have several orchestral elements with other software libraries. I originally wanted SC but have wondered how effective the Wordbuilder would actually be, and if it is the most effectual choir library for the dollar.
This bundle is an incredible value overall, to be sure, given the price. There are, nevertheless, many competing libraries coming out almost every month now, some that are incredible and highly praised for their ever expanding breadth of expressiveness and depth.
One does have to carefully weigh out everything in the balances before spending this amount of money on what is now an increasingly aging fleet of software titles.

+1 I can tell you that IF I could afford it...I'd buy it...just for the Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Gold and Ministry of Rock 1 & 2... JUST SOPG is , so it would be worth it if it were something that I would use... But...that's just me...

Jonesey, I know there's always a deal... But, as I said....even if you got these programs for HALF OFF....you''d still be further ahead buying the TeraPack.. You get the hard drive, and 7 normally $400 or more programs....even half off that's still $1400... you're still saving $500 Now that's a deal...especially if your a film score producer or studio owner who can write it off..

This sale is the best deal EW will ever offer, likely. 75% off versus 70%.  That's when I purchased CCC over a year ago. It also came on a 1TB WD Caviar Black (64MB cache). It includes just about every EWQL products (including Spaces), which gives you the opportunity to demo the ones you haven't purchased. A win-win situation for all involved.

I just contacted Sweetwater about it today. There's also a one month sale of 2 for 1, but this is silly compared to the Tera pack offer. A few hundred dollars more gives you so many more options.

Yet I've heard bad things about SC and wordbuilder with PCs. Do they work separately as two individual programs or what? Will I have any problems? I don't have time to investigate all the facts

SC is much improved but is still a real bugger to use. SC/WB is now one program. It is the only product for EW that I regret buying so I would not recommend it. You can get good results out of it but the time it takes is not worth it in my opinion. OOOHH's and AAAHHH's and that type of stuff sound great and there are some nice legato soloists but what you want out of it is a choir singing real words that people can A. understand and B. do not sound like a machine. The time it takes for me to do that just makes it almost worthless.

"agape"
... but what you want out of it is a choir singing real words that people can A. understand and B. do not sound like a machine. ... Even in the best of circumstances, a live performance by professionals does not guarantee clarity (pronounciation / articulation) and unless the listener is familiar with the piece, this will always be somewhat of a problem according to experts in the know. There was a thread recently over at the "Soundsonline" forums discussing this very topic (as far as I can remember). And you are correct in stating that it's not for the faint of heart.

Yes, I do understand, from watching the WB tutorials, that it is hard to get all that one wants w/o maximum hours of manipulation. I guess my least expectations would be to get a few words rather than intricate and varied words that consume precious time. Too bad some wiz didn't just put some words together and sell them to users.
What about voices of passion and its usability and flexibility?

What about voices of passion and its usability and flexibility? VOP sounds great..., in the proper context (New Age, Film scoring etc.). Even more so as "bg" vocals and as a special fx (supportive role) only IMHO. I guess I could summarize its usefulness by saying that it's a very good niche product that has its place in your very special vocal fx toolbox. You won't be using it very often, but when you do, it won't disappoint.

I guess I should have qualified that... You get the Complete Composers Collection... It comes on the Terapack Harddrive... Which means you get all the products...but will only own 7.....

New age and film scoring are what I'm looking for, but how much of it is British/American, or English? I don't presently need any ethic voices. What does it offer for articulation, voicings, words, oohs, ahhs and playability?
