Whether you have an expensive, high quality sampled orchestral library like Spitfire, Native Instruments, or if you only use GarageBand Strings, the tips and solutions provided in this post will ensure massive improvement in your sound. into different tracks, emulate real orchestra positioning by panning the instruments, automate them and embrace the mistakes that a real player might make.
