What VST do you use for the symphonic/orchestra/choir stuff?
i use east/west symphonic orchestra gold and east/west symphonic choir... they're expensive and maybe a little bit more than i need currently.. but in the near future i plan on making use of the of the features and samples i haven't had a chance to play with yet. For instance, there's the wordbuilder plugin for symphonic choirs so you can program in words for them to actually pronounce to the notes.
In fact the only thing thats holding me back from implementing into my work and replacing the generic "oh"s and "ah"s is the fact that wordbuilder doesn't like 64bit sonar, which is currently what im using (in order to make use of the 4GB of ram that I have.. which i need in order to be able to load all of the choir samples to use with word-builder into ram... pretty stupid, i know).
oh and for the drums i'm using Drumkit From Hell samples with the EZDrummer plugin. With it, you basically just drag and drop different preset grooves and fills into the project file. I have my bass player go through and tweak/customize them afterwards so that they're unique patterns, but i'd say ezdrummer is the program i have to thank most for how fast i can write songs.
