Hi All,
I've spent the last few days going through the VSL forum and it is filled with great tips and advice so i'm hoping i could get a transparent answer to a few questions i have.
I have £1,000 to spend on a good quality string library. So far i've narrowed my choices down to the following:
VSL
LASS
Hollywood Strings
Kirk Hunter
(I can't afford Spitfire Audio and although the DVZ (audioimpressions) strings seems perfect for my requirements, the need for an additional slave machine is not practical)
So my main two requirements of the string library are big in your face type scores full of expression and realism (thats kinda obvious i suppose ;-) and the ability to score intimate 4 piece chamber strings (think Elenor Rigby). So far VSL has won the vote for overall best sounding library with DVZ very very close behind. But i've also heard some very convincing LASS compositions.............
With that in mind, what would the recommendations be and should i decide on VSL, would there be enough left in the budget for good Orchestral Brass library?
My current system is a 10.6.7 quad 3Ghz mac, 14gb RAM running Cubase 5/6.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post,
Sam
