  • Beginner - number of strings??

    Hi all,

    Beginner here. No experience with VSL, but I'm looking into it. Can someone please explain to me the meaning behind, for example, when it says '14 first violins' in Strings Pro. Does that mean one can't have more than 14? What does this number mean?

     

    Many thanks.


  • Hi Igzy,

    The number 14 in "14 first violins" indicates the size of the section sampled (14 violinists playing together).

    Hope this helps
