    Hi everyone!
    Can you recommend me some good string libraries?
    I'm sure that there is hundreds topic about it, but we are 2016 now
    And all day more and more libraries are out...
    One of the important thing to get better mix is to work with a high-quality source.
    I look after string like here:
    1:30

    It does not need to be the same...
    Thank you!

    Yea, I would also say to try Albion, it's so easy to use and sounds great.

    If you don't get satisfying result with that, with LASS you can do anything, but it needs more work, reverbs and all.

    It's really hard to answer your question. It depends of how you plan to use strings? What type of music etc...
    It's 2016 and there is a 20 string libraries right now, but you have to choose the right one - the one fits your needs.
    I would say:
    - if you write modern pop / rock etc... then you can choose Arctic strings library (which is not complicated and has main articulations etc...) or Kirk Hunters Spotlight strings
    - if you write orchestral (classical, movie) music then you need something more professional and then you can choose as always Spitfire series, EWQL, VSL, Native instruments (AudioBro), Cinesamples, Orchestral tools etc...
    It's like when you have to choose right guitar and amps for your music, or the right hardware synth. Based on your or bands music you have to choose to buy Virus TI or Moog or Prophet ...

    It really depends :) So please be more specific.
