Saw this posted else where. Have added a direct link to the packs in question. If you need good sound affects then, maybe the Hollywood Sound Effects pack is what your looking for. This pack contains more than the one that ships in Sonar 8 and beyond. The drums in the acoustic drum pack don't sound bad, although still not a patch on Superior Drummer 2 or, EZ Drummer. The guitars in the guitar pack, don't sound bad at all. Also, the piano sounds good although, would like to have heard more of it.
