And then the other part reminds me how I never use the drums that came with Komplete 9U. I pretty much start with EZ drummer or AD2 and just go. I have a lot of half finished songs.

I do like a big kick drum though. Keeps me in time if it is not lost in the mix.

and don't forget that part that said $20 could get you several lunches

what about that Kirk Hunter "Concert Strings Bundle"?
I already Have Pop-Rock strings and Spotlight solo, would you recommend this bundle?
Looks like it's being ofered at a highly reduced rice on https://audioplugin.deals

As a full-time orchestral string player, these strings are REALLY poor. The $1 Sonivox ones sound far superior to this.

No way. Then you didn't try the latest Concert Strings 3. I just got it and I also have the Sonivox. No comparison whatsoever. Kirk Hunter is miles ahead.

The Kontakt scripting on Kirk Hunter is another huge plus over the Sonivox crap.

Kirk Hunter deal..Looks like a good deal.
I usually don't do orchestral things, just do for pop use sometimes.
but this deal is quiet tempting.
I saw sound-n-gear-dot-com review on youtube, but it sounded like crap, but the latest version looks good.
I have NI session strings pro, i don't know i need this kirk hunter strings because there is no trial version.
Any advice would be appreciated.

The Sonivox comment was tongue in cheek. But I'm not impressed with the Kirk Hunter sounds. Really poor was an exaggeration, but there are some problems in tone quality, vibrato, sustained bow weight and speed, and in the YouTube video ensemble presets players don't even change notes together.

One thing to note though is that it's impossible to find a library that will sound completely real because there are so many important things in between the notes on the string family instruments, i.e. shifts, slides, bow speed with your shifts and slides, changing the string you're playing on, etc. These all depend on the context and style of the music.

I've had students who only had basic knowledge of orchestration be able to make realistic sounding pieces using EastWest Symphonic Orchestra. OTOH, ProjectSAM is probably the most playable library I've ever used, meaning I can play it live and sound very realistic without any kind of articulation switching.

My understanding is that the KH sale items are from CS 2, which were markedly different than in 3.

Yeah, EastWest sounds very good. I have a good friend in my orchestra (violinist) who does film and video game scoring and swears by it. I'll have to check out ProjectSAM, thanks for the heads up!
