Reason ReFills - need your advice

[G&L_player]

I'm adding some new ReFills to my library and was wonderin' if anybody has any of these and/or has used them:

AudioWarrior Acoustic Strummer
AudioWarrior Electric Strummer
Reason Drum Kits (Phead)
Reason Strings (PHead)
Any of the Sonic ReFills stuff

I'd appreciate your input. Thanks, in advance.

I'm leaning on the Reason Drum kits, as they are supposedly very well produced and are already setup for ReDrum, etc... In addition, the AudioWarrior stuff is appealing and v3.0 ready, but I don't know much about them. (Demos don't always tell the story; can have a good demo and be useless...been there; done that).

Reason Strings caught my attention, but I read a very well-documented review mentioning that there are only a few orchestral pieces that are generally useful. Most of it is single instruments and not very useful. Your thoughts?

I do not currently own any of the Sonic ReFill products. I'd love to hear from you, if you have them. My understanding is that most of them are not ready for v3.0, yet...just a few.

Essentially, I'd like to add some great drums (i.e. Reason Drums); strings (orchestral stuff); guitars; and anything else that comes highly recommended, if it fits the budget. FYI: I'll be using Reason a lot next semester at school and would like to have a decent library to use with this tool. I've converted most of my Giga samples for Reason/Kontakt2, but I am missing the kinds of stuff that I mentioned (above).

Thanks, man.

the reason drum kits are awesome! if you want realistic drums for reason you won't find something better. i didn't like the props strings, you should wait, sonik reality brings the miroslav strings to reason. all of the available sonik reality refills are great, you should pick what you need.

re: the audiowarrior refills - I read some threads on the propelerheads board e.g. http://www.propellerheads.se/board/user ... Msg=183927
where people didn't seem enamoured of these refills at all.
Try the taylor 410 free refills at combinator hq http://q2.teche.net/hq/ they good.
There's also virtual guitar picker, which i've heard is good.
Personally I dont really rate reason strings, although it's ok, i'm lucky enough to have a copy of ew ultimate strings that I converted to nnxt format.
Reason drum's is very good at what it does.
The sonic reality refills i've heard are good at what they do.
Personally I can't wait to hear the SR Miroslav refills - i'm sure they will be top notch.
