East West Platinum XP vs Gold

[schizmatic]

I have gold, 16bit samples. I didnt think the 24 samples and mic positions would make a drastic impact, I thought 24 bit was just better for giving an engineer more room to master and more flexibility, but now I got people telling me the packs sound almosts completely different in quality, so I'm debating on upgrading since its only like 100 dollars....i think.


for instance, this is 16 bit, do these strings, especially when solo near the end, sound cheap to you? I don't get it, its east west, wtf.

The 24 bit probably have a higher sample rate as well. Usually 16-bit samples have the standard 44.1khz sample rate tagged to them as well. Even bumping the sample rate up to 48khz makes a significant difference especially in the high end since you can capture up to 24khz. Crispy.

With how good you are with the symphony stuff I'd upgrade. You deserve the quality.
