Advice for string/brass samples, and some other stuff

[chrisgil]

Hi all

 

Im doing a project where I need the best quality (real sounding) strings for music in the vein of Amy Winehouse, Noisettes, Plan B, Modern Motown and for some big orchestra pop ballad stuff.

 

 

 

Also need good brass for the same project.

 

 

 

Im looking at these programs/sample librarys

 

 

 

Chris Hein Complete 1-4 (for brass)

 

Chris Hein HornsV1 Overview

 

 

 

VSL standard cube collection (im guessing the vienna instruments pro software will be best for this?)

 

Vienna Symphonic Library

 

 

 

 

 

Also, just so you know what im dealing with, im upgrading the rest of my gear,

 

going to an Imac I7 2.93ghz with 16GB ram, C300 256GB SSD and a 2TB File.

 

 

 

Upgrading to Logic 9, NI Komplete 7, BFD2 fully expanded, GTR3 and getting hold of a Virus TI desktop v2

 

the gear I already have is at www.christiangilbart.com studio section, there maybe a couple of bits missing.

 

 

 

Any advice and feedback on the strings and brass in particular, but in general the whole thing would be hugely appriciated.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.
