I used Sessions Strings Pro 2 to make a mockup of a short 4-part composition for strings. The result should sound impressive and wide, but not so massive as in a present day blockbuster. I also needed a clear sound, because of the voice leading.
I probably managed just that. However, reviews about SS Pro 2 claim that it's only suitable for pop productions and that the strings sound too thin for impressive or classical orchestral work. Perhaps it's my fault. I want it to sound impressive, but also as clear as a string quartet.
SS Pro 2 was a gift from a dear friend, so I really want to use this vst. I used Ozone filters to give it a wider sound. Compression would probably kill the voice leading, so I'm not going to use that.
Of course I tried other virtual string ensembles. Big ones as well, but they all sound so pompous.
