"Another option is to buy used monitors from a reliable seller.
You can probably find someone who is upgrading to more professional monitors or has just lost interest in composing or recording.

"Not an expert here, but I saw these in a Sweetwater flyer:
Check these out at Sweetwater.com/LSR305 ($300 for set); and Sweetwater.com/LSR308 ($500 for set). They are by JBL.
The #308's are supposed to have better bass. I have M-Audio BX5a's, which…"

"Chris, I tried keeping EW pure, but found that, in order to blend it with my other libraries, I had to adjust volume, pan, etc. The purists on Sounsonline will tell you not to do this, but they will also tell you to only use EW products! Not going…"
"Get the maximum ram that you can get in order to load huge libraries. Processor speed is not such big a factor since you can always "freeze" tracks and relieve the CPU from some real time processing, specially on tracks with heavy samples and lots…"
"What's your budget?
I've been researching this for weeks and I'm hanging on for the widely rumoured new Mac Pro.
Whatever you get, forget 8meg of ram. Ram is cheap and I'd go for 32 meg or you might find yourself adding more later."

"I have a fair amount of experience mixing orchestral mockups, so I'll chime in. With the ambient EW mics (Silver library), I would suggest working only with EQ. In general, I don't like to boost the treble of anything sampled, especially…"
"Thanks guys, I now have East West Gold library though so I no longer suffer from the problems of a year ago:) but thanks still!"

"I checked out Requiem by Tonehammer...Wow! But yes, I'm gonna need some more money before I make another big purchase. I'm just a poor college kid after all:P"
"That's awesome! And wow I'm jealous, I have EWQLSO Gold which is nice, but what I would give to have Storm Drum and Symphonic Choirs:P Actually, I used to have just Silver, which is what all of my work that is up was done with. I haven't added…"

Hehe. Well it has cost alot of money! And to be honest, Hollywood Strings has been my best investment since my computer, when it comes to orchestral libraries! Also, I've been looking at other libraries for choirs, and found Liberis and Requiem Pro by Tonehammer. You should look into those. They seem even better than Symphonic Choirs!
Thanks alot John! :D
Yeah I scored a private fake trailer for LOTR that my buddy did. He wanted that theme in there, but still with some originality to it. :)
I used EWQL Hollywood Strings, EWQL Storm Drum, EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Platinum (with Pro XP) and EWQL Symphonic Choirs for this piece, and all the other pieces as well, except of course not the choir, for the pieces that had none. ;)
IMO it has alot of FFA(Hitoshi Sakamoto) feeling to it which i really like!
very cheery and yet epic and tells alot of story!
imo it sounds very professional as-well!
