The EWHO is well known to have a very simplistic player with scarcely any keyswitched instruments so it takes a while to figure out how to set it up and use effectively IMHO. I like the sound of their demos a lot for that reason, however there have been complaints about some of the programming. My impression of the bbc sound is that it’s perhaps a little less in your face with that big Hollywood sound. Lots of people here use EWHO and can vouch that it’s capable of killer mock up in that Hollywood sound.

Other threads in this forum have not been that favorable so check them out. I’ve already moved on to other products so it’s not for me but my impression of the demos is good.

I was impressed by the sound quality of the new bbc lib demos I heard, my initial impression was wow this looks fantastic for the price. Vepro has the possibility to disable channels and instances which also can reduce the memory for unused instrument tracks in a large template, etc Logic Pro has the ability to load plugins on first use so that is one way to build large templates.

I don’t know what spitfire has done with their new player in that regard. Unfortunately PLAY does not provide a load on first use option so huge templates take huge ram, unlike other libraries that will have load on first use options in kontakt or their own player. So for one thing if you are willing to create each project from scratch rather then having a huge pre-created template you will mitigate some of the Memory problem. A large template will have a lot of tracks with loaded instruments that may or may not get used.

EWHO uses a lot of ram, but a lot of the problems people complain about are specifically related to setting up large TEMPLATES.
