The strings here don't sound too good to me, I'd just buy a standard orchestral plugin like "Miroslav Philharmonik", you get better strings and a the whole rest of the orchestra sounds on top for a similar price point & of course if you got a little extra cash and want REALLY nice strings then it's "EastWest Symphonic Orchestra" all the way...

@spector969 I agree, I prefer their 70 dollar "symphonic strings" to this by a large shot. It was a cool idea, but...plenty of better options out there. It's cool for what it is, but definitely not the only option.

Hi, im a producer/songwriter, and im trying to consider whether to buy playa or beatthang. i like how beathang has 300 sounds, but im concerned its more for beats....i use fl studio 10,and im wondering which one is better? please help me, thanks :)

[SoundsAndGear]

@famousguyable I really don't use either much, but both can be loaded as a plugin in flstudio so it really depends on what sounds you want.

hey i have a question for u i was watching at the end of this video u said (there something i want to show u) u click onto ( load layout) than u click onto( playa string layas) than u click onto ( chords progressions) than u click onto (CP2 C) than u click onto ( pad mode) the funny thing is when i click onto ( pad mode) than i play from my midi keyboard and there is NO sound coming out? but if i click onto those PAD with those number from 1 to 16 than i hear sound why ?

@CTROCK honestly I don't remember man, this video is over a year old and I don't even use this software anymore, if you're trying to play something and not getting any sound I suggest asking sonivox about it.

@famousguyable hey man.... i have Sonivox playa... and compared to my other vsts.... the sounds in playa are pretty terrible and the interface isnt that great... beathang and sonivox both are relatively new programs and i think they have potential to be pretty good vsts... if your looking for a cheap deal look into native instruments elements package... you get a little bit of everything and you can always add sounds... they have a lot of good synths and real sounding instruments

@CTROCK cool, guess now ya know! Glad I could help somewhat lol.

@SoundsAndGear -thanks for all your help! u right u can't change the loop to different key i call them up and talk to them and that is what they told me. that suck!

[SoundsAndGear]

@CTROCK not sure man, you should hit them up and ask them about it, maybe there is a way, I don't remember there being one though.
