biggest disappointment so far in watching the screencasts is that there is no power legato for cellos alone. All the low strings are in 8ves with the bass. This drives me absolutely insane when the cellos are recorded in 8ves with the basses by default in certain ensemble libraries. Yes, cellos very often double the basses but how are you going to provide a killer, anguished, screaming legato for violins and then not provide the same for the cellos. How heart-wrenching it would be to hear the cellos wailing up there like the violins...but no...you can only use them for bass lines. a real mistake, IMO.
oh and also the 3 kick drum ensemble...what?
About the Cello being recorded in 8va with the basses I agree completely. always hate it when they do that. Those octave patches become really limited in use...
