Hey folks! I've been looking into getting some sort of strings- or orchestral vst, but the ones I've found are preeeetty expensive for me right now. I was wondering if anyone knew some kind of orchestral vst that's reasonably priced? (100-200 dollars). I hear Kontakt's libraries are really good, but if I remember correctly, I can't afford that haha. 

You could try the Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra collection http://sso.mattiaswestlund.net/, it's free, but pretty limited.

good one sir~ going to try it soon !
