In order to help serious composers who are looking for some products and to better help those who are wondering if getting what the big guys have would help them, I have decided to write detailed explanations of each product I use as well explain basic terms and definitions to help them do research better and understand the power of these products better. Anybody else is welcome to add to the list however I must ask that they give a very detailed explanation and explore the product to leave no question in the readers mind.

On each review you'll notice a number beside the "Has" Catagories. Like
"Has: Key Switches (6)"

The number tells you how diverse and powerful the component is, out of 10 of course. I've also used old newsposts which have no relevance or interest anymore, so don't be thrown off by the fact some seem to be posted back last year.

Products done thus far:
EW Orchestra Gold XP PRO (3.8/5)
EW Orchestra Silver (W/O XP) (2.8/5)
EW Voices of Passion (1/5)
EW Symphonic choirs(4.3/5)
Tsaiko Taiko Drums(4.8/5)
Hans Zimmer's Guitar 2 (4.4/5)

Products to Put up:
East West RA
East West Ministry of Rock
East West Voices of the Apocalypse

WestSound Oboe
WestSound Flute

True Strike 1
Further Expansions to Tutorial:
Unmodified examples of each instrument to let the reader hear what they sound like WITHOUT a professional messing around with it.

Pretty good choice so far, although I kinda believed that you used Stormdrum. Gotta read your VOP to see if it's really that bad.

By the way, since when do you own Gold XP? I'm feeling like having missed something during my epic absense. Could be that I confounded things as well :B
