"Yeah, the problem with Spitfire audio stuff is that it all works better with other spitfire audio stuff, Although I don't mind that, that much, most of their stuff is great, I especially like their percussion, it has tons of round robin and dynamics…"
"Cinesamples doesn't really have this issue. It has three mic positions and you can cut off the reverb and adjust the releases forming a very dry sound. Sony only has a 1.5 ish reverb tail anyways compared to the 2.5 to 3 on Spitfire's Air Studios.…"
"This is an old thread where I don't know why people are responding but here's my thoughts:
LASS very detailed, you can get wonderful results but takes a lot of work and can sound quite harsh without proper reverb and eq.
Spitfire wonderful sound…"

"I'm using Spitfire BML strings mostly. I have LASS but I don't use it because the strings are so OUT OF TUNE. [You play a note and it takes a second for the string players to settle on a single pitch]. This is NOT real world [except for maybe high…"
"Spitfire has a beautiful assortment of string libraries at really good prices. Berlin Strings is one of the best I've heard altogether but is priced at $840 euros, which equates to about $940 USD.... great sounding library, one of my favorite…"
"Excuse an uninformed question: what is CC morphing? I absolutely agree about the spitfire and LASS-stuff, really good and love the clean, direct feel of the sound. I also found cinematic strings quite great for slower parts and really enjoy the GUI.…"
"Well, to me it's about combining the best you can get, I've tested most libraries but at the end the ones I've kept are Lass, SF Mural and Berlin Strings. The best ones and the ones I've liked the most are Berlin strings (bow sounds on) and Spitfire…"
"Nice to meet you too, Raymond. As you can guess I mostly use these libraries for mockups, to be replaced by real instrumentalists. But sometimes I need them for their own sake. I just went ahead and bought the Mural library - and also Spitfire's new…"
"I'm seriously thinking of purchasing the just released Spitfire Mural library [mentioned above]. I particularly like the manufacturer's description:
Mural offers a grand 60 piece string band (16,14,12,10,8) but is recorded and performed in such a…"

"Spitfire Audio have some amazing strings librairies and they have gotten better as time went by. Their new "Mural" collection looks really amazing. Unlike Albion it's not "all-in-one", each section is sampled with plenty of mic positions to go…"
"On a slightly different note - is the current 32GB iMac powerful enough to handle a basic sampled orchestra with some other unique sampled instruments thrown in?
Thanks for any reply."
Thanks for any reply."
"Anyone have any experience with Spitfire Albion? I've heard some good things about it.
As for me I'm using EWQL Gold wich I still think sounds really great, and LA Scoring strings. I havent really spent enough time with articulations, mixing and…"

"I think all of those libraries can sound excellent if you know how to use them."
"youtube is a good resource for auditioning (by proxy) various libs. Watching and listening to people put them through their paces can be helpful. I bought Cinematic Strings on the back of some vids and find it pretty good. It's not perfect and I…"
"I'm not looking for debate. I'm looking for discussion. The reason I posted this is to find new orchestral libraries. When your confined to just one certain VST creators if you will. I do understand composers switch around libraries. I do the same…"
"Pretty much what Raymond said actually. I know several composers who will mix and match several of the top string libs you've mentioned in a single composition in order to achieve the sound they desire and also use real players where necessary. I'm…"
