Thanks for the additional information! Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better just to acquire a viola, a cello, and a bass, and record my own stuff (multiple times, for orchestra). Then again, I'm running out of room for instruments around here. I know eventually I need to get some good VST instruments, and the pricey Kontakt connector, but in the meantime, I guess I'll just work with what I have. Maybe once I've had a couple of sales from forwards, I can afford to buy the extras I need. I have some fairly good string settings in my keyboards, so maybe layering those with actual violins would pass muster.
