The real key to making the samples sound realistic is adapting your playing style to mimic the nuances of string playing. |
Actually I couldn't disagree more (respectfully of course
) I can honestly get better results from my Roland JV1010 than the Garritan library. We deal a lot with samples and this one was a unanimous disappointment from everyone.
On the other hand we have really enjoyed the East West Orchestral library and the Sonic Implants one as well. Another one that you don't hear about as much, although it's just for percussion, is London Orchestral Percussion. For percussion there is NO comparison. I have even heard there is going to be a gigantic LOP2 before Christmas.
Just my 2 cents!
