Only the good die young....
Whilst this sample library is supposed to be the most deeply sampled ever, etc, I well remember the paralysis of choice that I suffered from with the original Hollywood Strings, and to a lesser extent Synchron Strings.
I remember having to learn all the abbreviations in Hollywood strings and was never completely confident in the choices I made. When OPUS came out and simplified the choices, it made me way more productive.
Having umpteen Bartok Pizz patches, for me at least, could be more of a hindrance when writing.
The proof of the pudding will be if you can find a significant improvement over existing libraries. I suspect, for most of us at least, we will run out of talent long before the limitations of a good library are exposed.
BTW, have Spitfire announce the price yet ?
