Tonehammer has announced Requiem Light, a new version of the next-generation virtual choir product developed for professional composers.
Requiem essentially comes in two different versions, Requiem Pro and Requiem Light. Requiem Pro contains three full (5.1) microphone positions, updated to 5 solo singers and full effects section. Requiem Light contains one premixed microphone position, 2 solo singers and a more limited effects section, no convolution effects.
