So, I just found out that the entire Symphony Series Bundle is on sale for 99$ but I am specifically interested in the Strings ensemble.Is it worth anything considering that it's a 9 years old library. Any existing users out there?Kindly tell me the pros and cons.Or point me towards an honest review.Thanks

 

I don't like it very much. Tone, playability, all felt lacking to me. You can just pirate it to try and then buy it if you enjoy it. I prefer when NI makes creative instruments instead of half-assed scoring libraries.

 

What may be interesting to note is that are developed by NI with three main vendors, Sonuscore, Sound Iron and Audio Bro (each with a focus on a different instrument i.e. woods/strings/brass). All rather reputable companies. I think they are really quite good sound wise and for their size and provide a great all in one solution if you don't want a massive orchestral library. If you are looking for a bigger sound palette, wider range of articulations/mic positions, you may want to explore some of the bigger bundles from other vendors.
Also, I think 9 years ago NI were bringing out some of their best stuff. I am not so enamoured with the new wave of products, but that's a matter of opinion.
