Anyone have both of these Libraries or either and can give me an opinion of quality and use. Especially interested in the Wordbuilder feature. Seems complicated but powerful.
Thanks

I have the Composer Cloud X subscription so I have used both choirs. HW is clearly better on all counts (except for the more limited content as noted above). The word builder is quite useable in my opinion. Hollywood Choirs is probably the only thing I will buy (heavily discounted, of course) when my subscription ends (I already own HWO and Spaces I).
yeah I think the sound is different and its men women vs SATB, but the word builders aren't noticeably differentThey are both good, Wordbuuilder is indeed similar in both, I just prefer the sound of HC.
I agree with @pmcrockett Hollywood Choirs' word builder generates far better results out of the box -- no tweaking required in many cases. Not true of SC, which I remember requires a lot more work.The wordbulder functions in basically the same way for both libraries, but it's easier to get good results in Hollywood Choirs, and Hollywood Choirs' default wordbuilder output sounds better with no tweaking than Symphonic Choirs' does.
Not necessarily @DANIELEIf I can restart only from beginning do I have to write down all the text for all the track I want to write? For example if a choir start with a simple "uuu" and then it start singing something, than again some aahs and oohs and sing again do I have to write everything in the right order?
I'm not familiar with HC, but having separate S, A and T, B is actually a headache when then notes are out of the vocal range. Often times the S part goes below the range, and will need a fix/workaround using a separate track using the A voice. Likewise, the B goes above the range, and and a separate track fix will be required. Having women and men voices covering the entire range would be quite useful.Sorry to resume this old thread, I'm thinking about buying HC or SC or maybe both, do you have any advice on what to choose?
I already read all the posts above and I'm more into HC but I fear I could miss a SATB setup, this is why I'm on the edge.
Another question that is bothering me (I'm not able to find an answer anywhere apparently) is: can I choose where to start a phrase? I mean maybe I'd like to reuse only a part of a phrase or maybe only some syllabes and I don't want to write a lot. Is there a way to cycle through a phrase from specific points or the only thing I can do is restart from the beginning?

Thank you.
