Plugins:
Symphonic Orchestra (Sampler): http://www.soundsonline.com/products/…
Hollywood Strings (Sampler) is better for stringed instruments than symphonic orchestra (so I’ve heard): http://www.soundsonline.com/product.p…
Nexus 2 (Synthesizer): http://refx.com/?page=products/nexus/…
I’m using Nexus for the piano parts. If you want a more professional piano sound, I suggest using Quantum Leap Pianos (Sampler): http://www.soundsonline.com/products/…
EZDrummer (Sampler): http://www.toontrack.com/products.asp…
Guitar Rig (FX): http://www.native-instruments.com/#/e…
I’m using Nexus 2 for the guitar along with guitar rig (which is a bit amateurish) If you want a more professional sounding guitar, I suggest getting Ministry of Rock (Sampler): http://www.soundsonline.com/products/…
