[Fmpro] okay here's a production question: Miroslav vs. Vienna

[Todd Burns]

Hi,

I've got the Miroslav Phiharmonik plug-in and just bought the Vienna  
Special Edition plug-in.  Both are essentially full orchestra virtual  
instruments, though the Vienna package is more basic.

I've done strings with both.  Miroslav is kind of set up already with  
the panning and ambience, which is convenient for my needs, and I  
think they sound great.  My first attempt with the Vienna Special  
Edition using a similar formula in my arranging and mixing was a bit  
disappointing, and I think it comes down to my lack of knowing how  
the get a more realistic setting with ambience and then overall  
reverb.  I'm using the Altiverb convolution reverb plug-in.  I was  
specifically trying to get a warm, lush sound using long, sustained  
parts.  Is that enough info?

Any thoughts?

Todd
