Now what's this talk about LASS 3?
the audiobro team mentioned LASS 3 being one of their next priorities in their official forum

If this is true... LASS 3 will be my final string library purchase (oooo or maybe free upgrade!)
You will never be able to render any sample instrument to rival the real thing. There are too many mechanical and human factors involved that can't be duplicated with sample instruments. The question I have is WHY would you want to reproduce this? As a learning exercise, maybe, or just for fun, but as a final produced piece of music? What's the point? Simply by their nature, sample libraries will always be limited.
I think that's where Sample Modeling and Audio Modeling come in. We'll see what happens. Probably the only thing that could change my mind about this being my last string library is Sample Modeling's strings turning out to be revolutionary. But I don't think that's going to happen yet.“Copulate yeah, there’s still a whooole lot of uncovered territory in the field of sampled strings. Let’s get to work, people.”
Studio Brass Pro has considerably more content than the core version and other mics are generally better suited for the brass than the tree that comes with the core.Another huge fan of the StudioStrings here. But i personally see a lot of added content in the pro version (more in the strings compared to the winds and brass) since the close mics here add really a lot details you cannot hear with just the tree. Works also wonderful with own reverbs to make it big but still detailed.

And yet, with all these terrabytes of samples, I still can’t do any of https://users.telenet.be/deridderpiet.be/StringsMontage.mp3 (this).
Alas, so true. I'm working on a string piece now and all I can think about is the blessed hour when I can replace them with real players.
Mind you it sounds ok for a mockup -- just awful though, when compared with the real thing.
(I had to turn off @re-peat 's example because it was too discouraging...)
OMG. This sounds amazing! Where can I find these compositions? Not to detract from my post just before.With the money I spent on strings libraries over the past 20 years, they could rebuild a sizeable part of the roof of the Notre Dame.
And yet, with all these terrabytes of samples, I still can’t do any of https://users.telenet.be/deridderpiet.be/StringsMontage.mp3 (this). There’s not a singe second in this 11 minute collage — and I could easily have made it an 11-week collage — that can be rendered convincingly with any of the libraries, or combinations thereof, ever released.

Uh, you assume a lot. I think people should buy however many libraries they want and/or can afford. But I also think composers can do most of what they need to do with a couple good libraries if they take the time to learn to mix. How, exactly, does that make me angry?Your confusing reading into your vibe seems like your angry or have on issue because people purchase many library's and in your mind they should just stick with a few or one,
What makes me think this is your post over on the thread VSL Still Rocks i want place the link but i think you know what i am talking about.
Perhaps you should have been honest with your self and titled the thread
Why do people/composers purchase tons of library's , then say it really annoys me.
But i am sure some one would have posted mind your own business there are many factors why people purchase many library's and you don,t really need to know, just be satisfied with what you have, or need,
Every individual is different with different needs and often times we read them wrong.
I'm surprised you give 5%. I sure don't.I know, Rob. You’re talking to the greatest non-believer (regarding samples being able to replace more than 5% of the real thing) that ever walked through V.I.’s door. And no one dislikes classical mock-ups more than I do. That's definitely not what I'm after.
The first reason I brought it up, is because some of my music — the pieces that rely on a strings-like presence — would be extremely well served if that presence were somehow capable, much more than it is capable today, of suggesting some of the same gestures, phrasings, pronunciations, performances, dynamics, articulations, textures, etc … as those I’ve collected in that collage.
The second reason is that the library which you declare your final purchase, as far as string libraries are concerned, and which I own too, has, again, not brought me one step closer to seeing/hearing that desire expressed in the previous point fulfilled. So, unlike you, I’m not done buying strings libraries. I wish I were, but I’m not.
I can understand the Studio Strings qualifying as the end of the purchasing line for some people. If your music falls entirely within what that library is capable of and good at, then: sure. Mine however, falls almost completely outside it, despite the fact that, on paper, good studio strings is exactly what it needs.
So, secretly I also hope that some developers have listened to that montage as well, and are saying to themselves: “Copulate yeah, there’s still a whooole lot of uncovered territory in the field of sampled strings. Let’s get to work, people.”
