Diamonds are forever

-

There are a few routes to getting your hands on Opus. You can either buy it outright at $795 for the Diamond Edition and $695 for the Gold Edition (upgrade pricing is $495 to update from Hollywood Orchestra Diamond and $395 from Hollywood Orchestra Gold). Or go for a ComposerCl­oud subscripti­on that will give you access to all EastWest instrument­s, including HO Opus. The basic sub ($20/month) gets the Gold level of HO Opus with 16-bit and just one mic position and sits at 130GB in size. A Gold X version is available for ComposerCl­oud X subscriber­s ($30/month), which adds another mic position and ups the size to 242GB. For premium Composer Cloud Plus subscriber­s ($50/month), the full Diamond version ups the standard to 24-bit, has all possible microphone positions and crams in every morsel of content from the entire Hollywood Orchestra series. It’s 944GB!
