    I don't know how many videos about strings libraries I've watched, but there is one consensus: Spitfire Chamber Strings is the one everyone loves.

    Albion Tundra remains a huge favourite, along with the total performance patches for Solo Strings.

    Yesterday I asked in the VI Control forum how many string libraries you actually need ...
    Then I saw your video about the Thunderbold campaign in 2021 and got infected by your enthusiasm and bought the Chamber Strings with a guilty conscience despite the lack of money. You are really great! Now your further enthusiasm for OA Chamber Evolutions ... Sigh. You are now on the wish list. The demos sound amazing ...
    For the solo strings I would have expected BBCO Pro as well; because they are really good.
    Thanks for the good video.

    Perhaps you should have played your BHCT demo slightly longer so we could the amazing and brutal synth you have in it. (As amazing as Andy’s demo is, it was your demo that sold the library for me.)

      @@ggboot1 Hello Jo Sa,
      Thanks for your reply!!! That sounds amazing. In your opinion which strings library do you think, has all the possible articulations that's necessary for composing (I mean the flexibility to compose music with all it's articulations, because not all libraries have got all articulations in them and you know that) and also that sounds close to a complete orchestra? Because I think it would be valuable to ask someone like you who's been using these libraries. Secondly, what is your opinion about the Chamber Strings? I know each product have their own uniqueness and can be used for different genres. Kindly leave a reply if you have time. :-)

    Hi Oliver, I didn’t watch the whole video but I’m curious to see how you can play all those articulations in real time. For instance is it possible to play a legato, then continue to harmonics or sul ponticello with key switching or a cc assigned to a slider on the keyboard so in one end of the slider the bow is producing a warm and dark tone near the neck and as the cc value increases the bow gets closer and closer to the bridge and the sound becomes less pure and more with harmonics, scratchy ethereal etc.?

    I bought the Full Studio Pro Orchestra and the BBCSO Core. I love both of them for different reasons. But, in the Studio Strings, the short notes are a bit too much agressive to me. Only spiccato and no Staccato. Also, this dry library needs skill sin mixing to make it sound the best... Not that easy...

I have several questions about it's use with Digital Performer and will also need help getting up and running. Spitfire doesn't offer this type of support and they are very slow to respond to inquiries. (4 days) Thank you in advance! Morrie
