Why do I need the First AND Second Violins?
This is a very good and valid question, rightly asked by many of you!
The perfect balance and hugely sought after sound of the orchestra has been refined over centuries. In order to capture this sonic beauty with samples, each section must be meticulously captured… multiple players, each with different instruments, slightly different timbre, subtle differences in tuning, vibrato and seated in different positions in the stereo/sonic field.
Combining the USE first and second violins in your palette allows access to this beautiful, lush synergy of instruments… something not possible by layering multiple tracks of first violins, which at the very least, can cause phase problems, but more importantly, withhold your music from its full potential and depth!

“Auddict” makes great sample libraries and in my opinion a high value for money; USOE offers 50gb of sample, it is a huge amount of stuff, don’t miss it.
Sheldon – :
I have many of top notch strings libraries already, but I found the sound and tone of the United Strings Of Europe quite unique.
Especially the shorter articulations, which can be played really fast.

Sensational sound, excellent value for money, and very easy to use. It has everything needed to make a string soundtrack, to convey drama, mystery, any emotion.
