EastWest is an umbrella program that produces high-quality digital recordings. Within EastWest there are various "plug-in" programs that work with each other to translate written notations into audible sounds. The recordings are almost indistinguishable as digital. Programs like the ones on this website are used by composers of all sorts, namely film and multimedia scorers. I'm still in the process of understanding it all and I've given up on the site and began to ask people to explain it. I'm making a trip to the music tech lab this week to learn more about it.
I'm interested in the program for composing. Although I bought my first notation software in 6th grade, I never really understood composing software. With software like this, students (and myself) can produce amazing results with their own compositions and market them along with live recordings.
One of the plug in programs, Symphonic Orchestra, has a number of demos you can explore by clicking on "Demos" on the lower navigation bar. Some of the demos even include choirs in the recordings. I recommend the tracks "Action Adventure," "Protector Of The Skies," "Journey To The Stars," "Chasing Sunrays," (awesome mallet use) "Goodbye," and "Eruption of Mount Jodesius" (***This one uses choir!).
