Fiddle & steel guitar. Nothing says country strings to me more than pedal steel -- except maybe guit steel. Steel strings are still strings right?Mr Arkadin wrote: Thu Feb 15, 2024 9:03 pm Can you post examples, because to be honest when someone says Country I don't immediately think of strings except for the fiddle?

Small studio-recorded sections with nice legato, or at least chamber - don't want or need a giant concert hall recording with a ton of natural reverb. If you're kinda new to this, stuff like SWAM and SampleModeling might have too much of a learning curve. Good ol' LASS or Light & Sound Chamber Strings are simple libraries that will get you there, or you could go with fancier options like the aforementioned Spitfire or Orchestral Tools' Peteris Vasks strings. It'll be ideal to have both small sections (again, not full-sized orchestra) and solo strings for melodic top layers, and some nice warm con sordino (muted) recordings, but for things like that Alan Jackson track, small sections with warm-sounding sustains and decent legato will be enough.

Mr Arkadin:
Spitfire Appassionata and Spitfire Chamber Strings Essentials look like good choices. Unfortunately, the Spitfire discounts have ended today. I will definitely try the Spitfire Discover. You are right about the polyphonic legate, it is also a certain aspect.
Thank you very much thank you for your effort to help.

DSmolken: I would like to invest a maximum of around 250 Euro in the beginning. I looked at the options on offer and so far the Spitfire Appassionata seems to be the best choice for its friendly handling as well. What is your opinion? Thank you very much for the additional information, it will certainly help me.

Yeah, Spitfire is a solid choice. Easy to get a good sound without needing to fiddle with a lot of CCs. With strings getting the right style and timbre is very important (like with drums), so if you like the sound of Appassionata that's quite important.
