Symphony Strings

I made the mistake of not trusting other negative reviews and hoped that maybe they were exaggerated but this is very poorly optimized for Musescore and it's clearly not getting updated anytime soon. It's like they just sloppily converted it into a few sound fonts and forgot about it without any testing or tweaking. Spitfire Audio has some amazing stuff but it is definitely not here. Articulations and dynamics are way off from standard and nearly impossible to work with. Some notes randomly end loudly with some very clearly too sharp or flat. The time and effort you have to give to make this work and sound good is ridiculous and stressful. Please do yourself a favor and use the free sounds instead, as this is way too overpriced for how little care has gone into making this useable in Musescore.

Bought this back in December, when it was on sale, so I've had quite a while to try it out. I own the BBC Spitfire Orchestra Core, which is phenomenal, and one of the reasons I chose this as my first purchased MuseSound library. What a mistake. First of all, the balance is way off. Violin Section I is far too overpowered compared the other 4 sections. One has to seriously play with the dynamic markings or the faders to make any kind of reasonable sounding mix. And just going by the overall sound, the free MuseSounds are far better. And I haven't even mentioned the awful articulations and buggy tremelos. The sad thing is that now that I've been burned by this library, I will be far less likely to ever spend money on any future libraries from Spitfire, or even libraries from other companies.

I'm shocked by poorly this vst performs. I find the articulations to be unexpectantly unsatisfactory. There are ghost artifacts occurring all over the place and the overall tone is not good at all. In terms of tone quality this is only marginally better Muse Strings. I find myself reverting back to Muse Strings because the Symphony Strings articulation is so unmanageable. Maybe I just need to learn how to use it better. However, right now I consider it not worth the money and I regret purchasing it. A waste of money. I hope it works better for you if you decide to buy it.

The sound is quite good. However, the tremolos seem a bit problematic. There are some imbalances. But I believe they will be fixed with an update.

Great techniques and sound. Strange legato for violas, cellos and basses by the way, expecially when these instruments plays on forte and fortissimo

This library has a nice sound, and better pizzicato. The only problem is the strange legato sound in violas

I love the sound. Also a bunch of articulations and works nice, without any bugs

much better than berlin strings, cinestrings, or even vienna considering the price difference. has a nice soft legato sounds and sounds much more realistic than the other ones. would reccomend 10/10 would try again

Its sigma skibidi and realistic, I just hope it gets improved more though, but its still good
