What is EWQL Symphonic Choirs?
EWQL Symphonic Choirs is a sample library created by award-winning sound producers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, and recorded by Grammy-nominated classical recording engineer Prof. Keith O. Johnson[^1^]. It features full choirs, altos, basses, sopranos, tenors, soloists and a boys choir, recorded in the same concert hall as EastWest's Symphonic Orchestra. The library has over 124GB of material and includes close, stage and surround mic positions for each instrument[^2^]. You can adjust the mic positions, articulation control, vocal ranges and other parameters to create the exact sound you want.
How to Use WordBuilder?
The most unique and innovative feature of EWQL Symphonic Choirs is WordBuilder, which lets you type in words or phrases and have them sung by the choir. WordBuilder is built into EastWest OPUS, the new playback engine that powers all EastWest libraries. To use WordBuilder, you need to follow these steps:
Load an instrument from the Symphonic Choirs folder in OPUS. You can choose from different sections or soloists.
Click on the WordBuilder tab at the bottom of the interface. You will see a text box where you can type in your lyrics.
Type in your lyrics using phonetic spelling or the language presets. You can also use the drop-down menu to load popular pre-built phrases that are optimized for each choir[^1^]. You can edit, save and load your own phrases as well.
Adjust the timing and length of each syllable using the timeline below the text box. You can also adjust the volume, attack, release and vibrato of each syllable using the sliders on the right.
Play your MIDI keyboard or controller to hear the choir sing your lyrics. You can change the key, tempo and dynamics as you play.
How to Create a Choral Arrangement?
Now that you know how to use WordBuilder, you can start creating your own choral arrangements using EWQL Symphonic Choirs. Here are some tips and tricks to help you get started:
Use different sections and soloists to create contrast and variety in your arrangement. For example, you can use the full choir for the chorus, the boys choir for the bridge, and a soloist for the intro or outro.
Use different mic positions to create depth and realism in your mix. For example, you can use the close mics for a more intimate sound, the stage mics for a balanced sound, and the surround mics for a more spacious sound.
Use different articulations to create expression and emotion in your performance. For example, you can use portamento, repetition, legato and round robin reset to create smooth transitions, staccato notes, sustained notes and natural variations[^2^].
Use automation to control the parameters of WordBuilder and OPUS. For example, you can automate the expression (CC11), volume (CC7), pan (CC10), reverb (CC91) and other parameters to create dynamic changes in your arrangement.
Conclusion
EWQL Symphonic Choirs is an amazing tool for creating realistic and expressive choirs in your music. With WordBuilder, you can have any lyrics sung by a world-class choir in any language and key. With OPUS, you can adjust every aspect of the sound and performance of the choir. With these features, you can create stunning choral arrangements that will elevate your music to a new level.
