Built on our exclusive Audiobro orchestral engine, the Eternity Adult Choir is our new flagship choir – an elite 48 piece multi-ensemble (4 sections) choir. Each ensemble was recorded separately so it’s like having four choirs in one. There is also an add-on library called Eternity Expansion featuring Array Divisi and Ribbon microphones. We carefully chose the choir and scoring stage size to provide you with the most flexibility in achieving lush, powerful, and detailed performances without sounding too “washy” with ambiance:

12 Sopranos
12 Altos
12 Tenors
12 Basses

I have had a chance to mess with it some and it is very cool. Legato phrasing is excellent and the word builder is about as intuitive as one can be if you are into that kind of thing. I did not mess with epic so no idea how punchy it is there. Tons of options but you can still get a work flow quickly with it.

Based on the strength of Genesis alone I'll be buying this.

[ZeeCount]

And yup I bought it, and yup it is awesome. I've been noodling with the divisi patches for the last hour and they are very inspiring.

That's Genesis, then the Divisi Sopranos, then the Divisi Altos. Close mics only going into Berlin Studio.

Apollo 13! Very nice, Zee.

So, almost year later, how are you feeling about this library today? Got an offer in the mail that is very tempting, very...

[Guy Rowland]

I'll confess I was a little disappointed with Genesis when I got it in a great deal, so I'm not so tempted here.

I think Fluffy's Dominus (even the non-pro version) is just in a league of its own. It makes all other choir libraries sound clumsy.

Thanks Guy, I remember I was impressed with the video you posted on Dominus.

If I may ask, what was your main disappointment on Genesis?

I put some thoughts on it, and on using choir libraries in general here - https://thesoundboard.net/viewtopic.php?p=82519

Hey, Guy, have you done a tutorial on using the word builder in Dominus Pro?

No, but theirs is pretty good:

Yeah, read that then and read it again, thanks!

[Guy Rowland]

It's a funny one. I can't think of any other product which I think one developer has got it right and everyone else got it wrong (at least for the specific job it is intended to do).

Requiem (& pro) is on Black Friday sale btw...
