From: "iollila" <iollila@...> >So what I need is classical orchestral >instrument-samples. Plain simple instruments, no performance- >samples. In general, I would look at the new libraries. Sampling has come a *long* way in the past 4-5 years - it's really become a whole new medium. Here's a list: Vienna Symphony Library www.vsl.co.at East West Quantum Leap Symphony Orchestra www.soundsonline.com The above two are the best complete libs, and both are amazing in different ways; if you can afford both (or a light version of one), do it, because they really complement each other. VSL starts at $1k and goes up to $5k for the full version, EWQLSO starts at about $300 and goes up to just under $3k. But if you're in the <$300 range, also look at Garritan Personal Orchestra www.Garritan.com. It's a great deal, and he did an excellent job. Sections to check out: Sonic Implants Symphonic Strings www.sonicimplants.com Garritan Orchestral Strings www.garritan.com (Sonic and Garritan have light versions and $1000 versions) Kirk Hunter strings - a new lib I haven't heard www.truespec.com SAM Horns/Trumpets/Trombones www.projectsam.com. Very reasonably priced, all very good stuff. There are several percussion libs as well, but I haven't used them: Christian Lane, London Orchestral Percussion. Apologies in advance if I've left anything out. -- Nick Batzdorf 818/905-9101, cell 590-9101, fax 905-5434
