Hi All,
Am I missing something and I probably am but their never seems to be any strings real tracks,Are they too difficult to produce more than other instruments?I have tried to use the strings from a few years back but they are too archaic for Pop songs .Just one string quartet suitable for modern pop songs would be great....if it is technically possible which I am not sure it is thanks

There should be a number of Strings RealTracks available.
It might depend on what Pak(s) you have purchased.

Hi Audio,
Yeah ive used that and its pretty archaic and awful in a pop song,have to be honest I love BIAB but the strings are unusable ,Thats why I wondered why their arent any modern strings rather than what looks like a generic string that is neither one thing or another,is their a problem creating them ,urs h

Have you considered MIDI & Supermidi tracks?

Have you also auditioned the Pads that are available? I've found that sometimes I can substitute those for strings.

Hi Rustyspoon ,
I have used midi tracks with some success but it would be nice to have some real strings that are dedicated just to pop songs ,not just realtracks that have pop written in the name.I gather their must be a difficulty in making them ,which is fine if thats the case,all the other realtracks are great,H

Hi Matt,
Yeah I have used the pads and substituted them successfully and they are very good,
My guess and its only a guess it that they may be too difficult to produce or maybe cost too much to produce and thats fair enough too ,the product is still well worth the money,
thanks H

At this point I suggest you make a post in the Styles Wishlist Forum. Give a link to an MP3 of a song that has the sound you would like. If you know any artist(s) that perform such sounds, list them.
