NI Session Strings Pro

I don't have the Pro version, but do like Session Strings and planning on using it in an upcoming project. What are your thoughts on Action Strings? that looks very interesting......

Thanks Tom.
 
When funds are available, I'll be putting the money in for the Ultimate upgrade (rather than just getting Pro only). I still yet have soooo much to play with the stuff in K9 to keep me busy for awhile.... :)

I bought EWQL Hollywood Strings during one of their Buy one get one free deals plus the $100 off.  All in all, I paid $150 for Strings silver and Brass Silver.  Unfortunately, I'm pretty disappointed with them.  The sound is pretty good but Play is just so buggy that I find them almost unusable.  Really unfortunate.  I wish I could have that cash back and get Session Strings Pro...  

Sorry to hear that Mike....
If Kirk Hunter does have another group buy, you should check that out. I have the Diamond collection (strings, brass, woodwinds, & percussion) which are excellent straight from the box.....no tweaking. I was impressed with the quality of sounds immediately. KH also has good support/tutorials in using them.
 
You should look into selling your license/library of EWQL over at KVR and possibly make some of your money back. Everyone over there is always looking to get a deal, but the general pricing for stuff is 50% off the going price......unless it's in demand.
  

I didn't realize I could sell my licenses...  I'll definitely look into it.  I would love to recoup some of the cash.  I'll also look into some of those other options.
 
The sound of Hollywood Strings is much better than Cakewalks SI-Strings.  I actually just went through a project replacing EW with Cakewalks Strings and was pretty disappointed with the results.  Sycraft, I've been dealing with a Volume problem where the volume will just drop randomly - meaning that a project will be playing fine and then, for no apparent reason, on a playthrough it will play 15db lower than before.  I've posted here about it and emailed them - they did not respond.
 
I also tried starting the Project from scratch and freezing the tracks.  Most of the time it worked fine, but on one occasion, I had the volume drop.  Spent too long trying to figure out if it was a CC value or something - thought that I was just still new at this, but then have found others who've experienced the same problem.

I'd first check with EW to see if re-selling is even an option.........and if it's yes, find out what the costs are (if any).
 

Check out LA scoring strings, beats them all IMO, although they are more expensive

Mikebeam - PLEASE NOTE: you cannot transfer PLAY licenses to an iLok that is not registered to your iLOK account. If you have multiple iLoks and plan on transferring your PLAY license between them, make sure they are registered to the same iLOK account!
