I've been using the Studio Horns and Strings since the outset but find them unsatisfactory. It's difficult to criticise a program that offers so much for the money and there's no substitute for shelling out on high level software instruments but there was a slight build-up to the announcement when the Studio instruments were introduced so some criticism is in order, I think.
Problems:
Lack of long sustain and, to make it worse, different instruments in a section will cut off at different times.
Inability to create a true legato. Each note has a slight accent which causes the velocity sliders to pump up and down. There is also some expression in-built (mini crescendos). I wish to insert my OWN expression.
Only the lead instrument (5 trombones) offers the 'expressive long' option. It is omitted from other section instruments.
