Vienna Symphonic Library - the most powerful and full of the currently existing on the market of orchestral instruments libraries. - All files stored in GigaStudio 3 version with the optimization of a pool of samples that will speed up their load.
Each instrument is checked for correctness - Imposed on all release patches with articulation, including those that use the specific features of GigaStudio 3 - Files related to each tool, packed into a single archive with the division on the tools Orchestral Cube and Perfomance Set (including to and from Horizon Series). This will download only the missing tools. Requirement: GigaStudio 3 HUGE TORRENT, SEED ONCE YOU FINISH!
LASS is also the best Live performer out of all 3 and I incorporate it into electro, Classic Rock Tributes ( ELO ) just about any style. The real benefit is the NCW compression. I recently bought 3 x 60GB Intel 520 SSD's to replace my aged Raptors, and can easily use them as Hot Spares now too. But seperating instruments according to most used combinations and layer/splits like I did years ago with Gigastudio does wonders with Kontakt 5. I keep hearing from ' experts ' that 50,000 IOPS is needed for Orchestral instruments, etc. It's a load of crap. Seperating your instruments on smaller SSDs ( cheaper too ) works as well as a Raptor Array w/o any RAID.
Granted my 520s' are only 15,000 IOPS that is more than sufficient for even the largest of templates. IMHO it's the developers experience, and ability to take advantage of compression techniques that counts. Love the sound of HS and East West Intruments in general, but live those dogs don't hunt. And I hear they are coming out with PLAY Pro..
I guess that means I was wise to avoid their amatuer versions and wait for the big Kahuna. I'm going to voice a preference for Hollywood Strings. Vienna is very good, but it always sounds artificial to me. It was recorded in a 'acoustically dead' space.
You have to approximate a room sound, which ends up sounding 'plastic-y' to me. 50% of the 'Lush String Sound' to me is the room they were recorded in. Why I love HS is simple: Shawn Murphy. If you've ever recorded strings you know that 'the room' is the single most important factor after musicians.

For me, it's like paying to get Murphy's specific MIC setup, in a great sounding room for Strings - this is invaluable to me. The short articulations are fantastic, the best I've found. They play great with no latency issues. Regarding Expression(CC11): this is fairly standard and preferred to Volume(CC7). Dhoom Machale Dhoom 1 Song Download here.
You do not need an expression pedal, I don't have one and it works great for me. A simple search on google can explain how to map CC11 to any fader on your MIDI controller. CC11 is superior as a performance shaper because it has a much more musical curve to it. Additionally, you use VOLUME(CC7) for macro level setting.
Ideally, each midi channel has a set CC7 value at the beginning of each channel, setting up an individual balance for all MIDI channels. Please do this, it will make your life better and your mixing a more pleasant experience. My demos became much more dynamic after doing this. PLAY is a pain, I'm afraid. Loading times are painful! And I have SSD's! Up to you, but runs on HS sound great to me.
Plus there are many 'tempo synced' runs to choose from. Listen to the Articulation Demos from each library to decide for yourself. I also find the 'Video Tours' to be more helpful than produced demos. I have used both.
By far my preference is HS. The sound you can achieve with careful programming on HS is astoundingly full, with a very deep selection of articulations, including some effects articulations. The first demo I heard of HS completely fooled me, and I'm a monster stickler for that plastic sampled orchestra sound. As my ear has gotten used to it, the wow factor has faded, but only a little. For pre-Romantic era sections, where they were a bit smaller, HS is probably not the right choice. But for film/theater/game scoring and Romantic-era forward orchestration, I don't really think anything comes close. Quite a few people like LASS, but I don't find them to be any more convincing than properly mixed VSL sections.
I have yet to hear a demo that changes my mind on that, but people do like it, so there must be something to it. Things to consider. PLAY is pretty lame. You can't see what CC information PLAY is receiving (unlike the Vienna Player), so debugging MIDI problems can be difficult at times. The requirements for HS are gargantuan.
Don't even think about using the monster patches on a standard hard drive; you don't stand a chance. I've got a Quad Core i5 3.4Ghz with 16Gb RAM and a 340Gb SSD. A full 5 section large patch legato setup can eat 8+Gb of RAM with ease. So, plan on for sure getting an SSD (not optional, IMO); more RAM may be a consideration also if you want to use the big patches and multiple microphones.
@energizer bunny: I was able to generate pretty good sounds within the first few days of using the software. I do, however, have a decent understanding of how my sequencing software works and its MIDI ins and outs.
