Symphony Strings

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.

Unfortunately, I bought it. There is absolutely no support. No one responds to my messages. Most of the articulations shown in the video don't work. Glissando in particular doesn't work at all. I tried every setting. Unfortunately, I initiated a refund. Don't regret it like I did.

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

Overall it’s very good. My only problem is that the slurs don’t sound like slurs. Please get it fixed as soon as possible. Other than that, fantastic sounds!

The sound quality is outstanding, but it falls short of delivering a convincing spiccato/ staccato, and the legato also leaves much to be desired. At present, the MuseSounds library performs better. Keep up the good work!
