Piano, strings and brass. What would be the best VSTi's for these?
I remember trying TruePianos a while back by 4Front, the same company that puts out a decent free version. Very good.
Strings would be next in importance to me... to get that sort of Darren Tate sound. Followed by brass. |

imo, samples are the way.

| Computer Music issue 120 has a Darren Tate masterclass and for his strings he uses Absynth and Atmosphere along with a TI for his pads. |

| Perhaps try out the demo version of pianoteq for piano. Their website has audio demos which sound incredible. It's a modelled piano, rather than using samples, it only requires 15 megs of hard drive space! |

Another one to check out is Cakewalk's Dimension Pro - it's not a sampler, but it does come with a huge library (plus two free expansions) containing a ton of orchestral sounds. |

| Atmosphere seems to be best for trance orchestra sounds but I have no experience with it. I use Kontakt and layer up pads from FM8 and Absynth to get different effects, it took me a while to get used to, but I think I'm starting to sound OK with it. |

| Nothing to do with trance, but what's the best software to make some orchestral tracks that sound like real instruments? |

I kinda like Edirol's Orchestral HQ, or whatever it's correct name is :) I never seem to remember..
also...the orkester sound bank in reason is quite good, if you combine the two, you get pretty decent sounds :) |

East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra is one package that is widely used. Take a listen to their demos:

I've never used it but I have used their Symphonic Choirs and they sound brilliant! |

| OMG! Those demos sound GREAT! Thanks a lot, I guess that's the software I'll need. |
