Opus 1 vs EWQSL

2004-12-08 by Gareth Hemmings

I have Opus 1 and have used it for a variety of things, mainly classical but
in some pop stuff.  I would say its not really best for what you want -
samples are quite dry but not really aggressive enough for motown strings
feel.  Isn't there a motown strings library from somewhere?
