    Hello fellow hornblowers I'm in the process of upgrading my vienna. I'm sitting on the Vienna Special Edition Vol 1 and am interested in your advice. I'm mainly a strings kinda guy. The horns that comes with the Special Edition sutes me just fine. So I'm thinking of upgrading to VSE PLUS or VSE Strings Vol 1 What would you advice? Thank you kindly Andreas www.andreasbeats.com

    Hi Andreas,

    If you already have Special Edition Volume 1, you already have the SE Strings VOL 1.

    The choice I see:

    1) More string sounds (Chamber Strings, BONUS Appassionata Strings) => SE Strings Volume 2.

    2) More articulations for your existing Strings: SE Strings Volume 1 PLUS. => Sample Content.

    3) Even more strings (Appassionata & Muted Strings): SE Volume 3.

    If you like a specific string ensemble a lot, the Instruments Collections with tons of articulations will be interesting.

    Best,

    Paul

    oh, thanks a MILLION!! It would have sucked to buy the strings and found out after that I already had all the sounds :) Does it work with Vienna SE 1 and SE 3 without having Vol 2? is it just pick and mix or is it a requisite to have them in sequence 1, 2, 3, 4... Thanks

    Hi Andreas,

    It´s actually pick and mix, here is an overview.
