Reviewer Background
:
I've been playing music and making beats for about 4 years, principally Hip Hop and House with a bit of various styles to cement the bricks together. As of software, I use various sequencers, Gigastudio 24 and obviously multiple soft synths. On the hardware side, I use an M-Audio Delta 66, Behringer MX 1604A and Proto-J Monitors.

It is a solid library (targeted for Hip Hop and R&B productions)wich is consisted of a few string quartet loops, multiple string quartet construction kits and a few multisampled instruments at the end. The addition of other varied harp loops would have been appreciated. The omission of a WAV cd is not good guys!!! Not good!! Thanks for correcting that in volume 2!! :-)
The construction kits are really well tought, and are also well detailed (Key, BPM). One really interesting side of the construction kit section is that there is no really pronounced effect applied on there, everything sounds pretty dry so all the creative effects are left for you to apply.
The multisample section is alright, usable to create a few instruments but that's about it, I wouldn't count on it to build myself an orchestral sampled instrument arsenal. Maybe a few in there as I said but that's it.

Great strings loops! Amazing sound quality! You get a real orchestra for your Hip Hop and R&B productions. It's unique!
Timbaland used this CD on Solange (Beyonce's sister) new CD in the song "Get Together".
