Look into the Native Instruments software solutions.

Get Kontakt as it has a nice selection of orchestral stuff and is considered by many cinematic composers to be a MUST HAVE piece of gear.... good stuff at a reasonable price. Entry level to the professional realm.

In addition, NI has dozens of add on sound packs that are worth looking at since each one generally has a specialty and runs on Kontakt.

PLUS.... there are lots of little independent companies making their 3rd party sample libraries so that they run on Kontakt.

You can't go wrong with Kontakt.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
