Hey mm!
If you had Logic 9 you can find the older Logic string set in the legacy portion of the library (which were actually superior). But they really just aren’t up to par. Maybe you can get away with it (and I stress maybe here) if the strings are really far in the background, but if you want the strings heard at all they really just aren’t going to cut it.
But there’s good news! There are a bunch of good string libraries out there for not too much money. You can check out this, which gives you the amazing EastWest strings as well as a ton of other awesome sounds for $30 a month.
There’s also this, which is a pretty popular string VST for about $240.
Then there’s this, probably the cheapest option for $99, if you already have Kontakt. It’s not the greatest string VST but it will get the job done, and is a huge step up from the Logic ones.
Low-end string samples are near impossible to make sound good, and they will never sound great. If you are serious about using strings it’s definitely worth investing in a better library.
Best of luck in the future! Cheers!
Yes, those libraries sound fantastic… ohhh, I’ll have to start saving now…
