Genius. Idiot. You Decide.
I think, if done right, Sample Modeling strings blow everything else out of the water. Here's a great example I found on YouTube:
I agree, but that can be said about many libraries. It's the "if done right" part that gets me every time. I prefer the "if done close and still sounds great" libraries myself...I think, if done right, Sample Modeling strings blow everything else out of the water. <snip...>
Fortunately, Sample Modeling is much easier to do right. It's more playable than any other solo string instruments I own.I agree, but that can be said about many libraries. It's the "if done right" part that gets me every time. I prefer the "if done close and still sounds great" libraries myself...

But I still hear the synthetic tone clearly in the strings (I believe it might be the existence of repeating harmonics that my ear catches easily) that is apparent even in a dense mix.
No argument here. It sounded fantastic. One large advantage would be the footprint size on your hard drive. On the other hand I love my Chris Hein Solo Strings. Ultimately it is what you have and how you work with it. But certainly nothing to disparage with a lot of the modern modeling. I am just glad we don't have to do the programming ourselves.

VST programming no, but midi programming? The tweaks make or break it at times

I've never really liked how the upper register sounds on the SM Cello, that's where it gives away it's synthetic character.
