Question
hi jz
thank you for your reply, my message was:
"hi
this is my first question on allexperts.com, so i just want to thank you and everyone that's contributing to this site, thank you so very much
i love music so much, I'm a composer, but a young one, I'm 2o years old, i would like to know which sample libraries offers very REALISTIC sounds, and which one offers high quality sounds that's although it's not VERY REALISTIC, but still offers a relatively realistic sounds
thank you again"


can i be more specific so maybe you can help me then please, because i don't know where to start, i need samples for orchestral music
thank you jz whether you could help or not and may God bless you

Answer
Start with Sibelius... it offers a complete package with fairly realistic sounds. If you have more money, check Garritan and use them in a software sampler such as Kontakt. If you want REAL... check the Vienna Symphonic Library. Again, listen to the demos and decide according to your budget. There is also the SAW Project... very real sounds as well... lots of options.
jz~
