Not to take anyone's illusions away, but I have just been trying to make
the full GPO imitate a string quartet. To be honest, the only instrument
that is sort of acceptable is the cello, in some registers at least.
None of the violins sound remotely like solo violins to my ear, although
the best one seems to be the Guaneri.
I'd currently say that it is not possible to get a realistic solo violin
sound out of GPO. But I am a violinist, so my standards are high.
In a way I am kind of glad this is the case...
I wonder, has anyone ever tried using the full version of Garritan
Strings to get a better sound at all? i.e. rather than the GPO?
Some of the best string reproductions I've heard are from the Vienna
Symphonic Library demos. They're still nowhere as good as the real
thing, but are getting closer all the time. The problem seems to be
exposed strings i.e. in a chamber/non-orchestral context - the
instruments tend to sound like cheap Chinese instruments. When someone
works out a good vibrato algorithm that will go some way.
