Moseph Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Given the ongoing NI upgrade/crossgrade sale, I've decided to crossgrade from Kontakt either to Komplete 8 or to Komplete 8 Ultimate. One of the things that's in Ultimate that isn't in the base Komplete that most interests me is Session Strings Pro. I'm interested in Session Strings Pro both because I don't yet have a small ensemble strings library and because I hope it may allow me, when layered with my go-to large ensemble strings (VSL SE+), to do a more convincing large ensemble divisi. I plan at some point in the future to get a strings library (probably LASS) that has actual divisi capabilities, but if Session Strings works well enough in this regard I might be able to forego or delay that purchase. Does anyone have opinions on Session Strings Pro? I'm leaning toward the Ultimate bundle since I think the extra stuff is worth the additional money (the crossgrade is $200 base vs. $400 Ultimate for me), but any info especially on Session Strings Pro to sway me one way or the other would be appreciated.

Chimpazilla ⚖️ Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Did you end up getting Session Strings Pro, and if so do you like it? I was looking at that too, a good friend told me it is a very good small ensemble library, he said it was similar to Lass First Chair. I just got Komplete 8 not long ago, so I figured I'd fool around with the Kontakt factory instruments first before venturing into Session Strings... but I'd like to know more about them too. I didn't miss out on the sale though, I bought Damage. It's fun. What did you end up getting from the sale? Quote
Moseph Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 Ended up getting Komplete 8 Ultimate, but it hasn't arrived yet. I think it's supposed to show up tomorrow. I'll post my impression of Session Strings Pro once I've installed and have had a chance to try it out. Quote
Cash Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I have the regular version of Session Strings. I haven't done much with it, but the strings sounded authentic, with options for reverb and other effects. I'm interested in knowing the quality of SS Pro. Quote
Chimpazilla ⚖️ Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Nice Moseph... I'll look forward to your review of SSP! Hey C&C, nice to see you, interesting blog! Quote
mickomoo Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Nice Moseph... I'll look forward to your review of SSP!Hey C&C, nice to see you, interesting blog! Everything thing here ditto for me. I've not found a ton of feedback on session strings, not that I'm in the market for anything now but I would like to note what they can do. Also C&C awesome blog, I'll definitely take a look and comment later. Quote
