Also, I would add just a little more reverb tails to the strings to help blend in the dynamics, Not so much that it buries the real timbre of the strings, but enough to give it that real concert hall, or sound stage “live” feel.

I enjoyed this one.

Thanks Steve. This is precisely the honest feedback I was hoping for.
I, too, was not totally happy with the swelling on the strings' sustained notes but I couldn't find a way to change it. I read on the Kontakt forum site that that's just the way it is, and the only option is to spend more money and buy a better strings instrument.
I haven't given up though and am working through a few options.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
As always Steve, thanks for your valued input.
Cheers,
Mike
