Best Symphonic Application

[Ives]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this forum and I'd like to say that I think it's absolutely great, I'm only sorry that I didn't find it sooner. My question concerns the best Symphonic plugin out there today. As they are all rather expensive (and, I might add, non-returnable) I thought I'd see what everyone here liked with regards to things like realism and such but also stability and ease of use as well. Thanks for your input, Emerson

Many composers and arrangers that use sampled orchestras like the Miroslav, Vienna and East, West in my experince often use a combination from different libraries. Personally I have heard people produce wonderfully strings using Kurweil synths and Harmoniums and Accordians, the real trick is both the style and the arrangement. Even the best samples unless they are played well sound totally unconvincing.
