I want to purchase a pack of Vienna String samples next week but I'm not sure which ones to buy.
Which pack would be suitable to use in my sequencer for the following arrangement at www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCZjaCNyYbc

Ok thankyou. Would I need the full pack or the standard? My budget is very limited you see.
How about for the string section in this video at https://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUC_rzsiua8 /watch?v=cUC_rzsiua8 between 2.06 and 2.20 minutes? What pack would I need to get that sound?
Hello R.Steed
Solo Strings II contains all samples of Solo Strings I but muted (with a damper). So this Library could be an addition later on.
For the Solo Strings I recommend the Full Library. There are coming some "everyday-articulations" with the extended version which lets you achieve more real results. (détaché long, cresendos, diminuendos...). Take into acount that quite every piece ends with a fading out note (diminuendo).
The Library "Solo Strings" is one of my favourite - and I say this as a violin player. Listen to the demos. Outstanding results are possible...
BTW: You could buy the "Standard Library" and as soon you believe it woul be better to own the full Library you can upgrade. I believe that you will pay the same price in total (sum).

The other libraries you mentioned don't have any solo string samples, they're all ensemble recordings. LA Scoring Strings has "first chair" positions, but those instruments aren't nearly as sophisticated as a dedicated solo string library like VSL Solo Strings.
