you don't have to buy solo strings 1 before you buy solo strings 2 they are seperate products independant of each other. But solo strings 2 is just con-sordino samples.
They're starting to trickle in, here in the States. I ordered mine this week, and they're expecting to turn it around on Tuesday to ship my way (west coast).
I'm guessing this is the end of the "con sordino"/"muted strings" libraries, as Orchestral Strings already includes them in both voumes.
Now maybe VSL could start turning their attention to historic instruments, like Violas da Gamba (all voicings), Ratchetts, Baroque Recorders, etc.
Might just be the nature of the beast (muted cello) - much of the warmth and body is 'muted' out of it. Perhaps roll off some 4.5hz??
