Thanks for the info, KingIdiot. At least you've used all three, and you seem like you know what you're talking about.
Herb: I think that all 3 are fantastic, so I hope it's obvious that I'm talking about very subtle variations here. It's all great quality work.
Of the few GOS demos I've heard, there are some things that sound a little artificial, but the overall sound is almost as good as the others IMHO.
While I do like SI strings, I've heard that they don't have the kind of performance tool found in VSL or GOS, which would be a big [:(] Is this true?
I *am* prepared to do a great deal of mixing/tweaking etc. but what I WANT MOST is the flexibility to apply different coloring in different situations without spending $6000+ on 3 libraries. So I guess I'm afraid of being "stuck" in one library's sound (considering how important strings are in the orchestra).
Thanks again.
