Recommend pls some nice VST for strings synthesizing. Doesn't matter is it free or under license.

THNX

Miroslav Philharmonik sounds pretty damned nice going by the mp3 demos they have on theyre site

AAS String Studio for expressive synthesized string instruments ... there is a demo at their site
http://www.applied-acoustics.com/stringstudio.htm

one of the sample libraries if you want the most realistic orchestral strings

A couple of freebies:

If you'r into retro stylke Floydy sounding string synth sounds check out CrazyDiamons

For a beutiful litle mellotron VST check out Tapeworm

http://www.tweakbench.com/instruments.php?id=6

(I love tweakbench stuf)

And there is a top class analogue string sound in Plugsound Free (well worth a download. It only contains 29 sounds but with fully tweakable filters, lfo modulation and reverb you can create a lot of variations on them)

Cheers for those links

for real strings you cannot beat

Kirk Hunters offering of the Emerald Orchestral Strings in a separate package.

Reaktor Steam is pretty cool for natural sounds.

The flutes and bells presets are nice.

I need more 4 electronic music. What are your offers?

Check out the demo for Tone 2's Firebird

Not exactly natural, but not overworked samples or outrightly cheesy...

Holy jeez that tweakbench stuff is amazing. Not just the strings, but everything.


Is there ANYTHING like that for the mac?

I like the sound of the strings in Spectrasonics Atmosphere. They are kind of layers with other nice noises.
