Digital Sound Factory Studio Orchestra. It isn't supposed to have all of the articulations of a orchestral scoring library. It is supposed to sound like what happens when orchestral players are called in to do overdubs for pop tracks. Very good sections. Not so good solos. Lots of layers, too, which is nice, as most of the layers built in to Dimension Pro are all too electronic. If you want nice keys+strings, voices+bells, and other combos like that, then this pack has the high quality versions.

If you want good orchestral sounds the Garritan Personal Orchestra is fantastic! Way better than Dimension Pro." Steve replied, "That's not very respectful to Dimension Pro lol" Phil wrote, "The strings on Dimension Pro are good but the Garritan ones are in a different league again. I purchased it just for the strings but, if I were into orchestral stuff, I would purchase it for that as nothing else comes close. I don't use orchestral stuff much here however, I will be using the strings on some of my backing tracks in the future. In fact, I may even revoice some of the tracks that I have with the Garritan strings. Also, playing them is a dream. They just respond as you would expect." Steve Replied, "Phil, I think we should put Dimension Pro and Garritan to the test. we both know how to arrange and right all kinds of music so we are not going personally head to head. Lets simply choose a classic song of our own choice so everyone on the forum can recognise the song, it will be interesting to see which Strings the forum prefer. I think we should use one or two other instruments (no drums though) just instruments to give the song some colour, a verse and chorus will do. What do you think?
