First day with Cinematic Studio Strings (and CSSS!) - goodbye BBC SO Pro?!

I've finally got my hands on Cinematic Studio Strings and Cinematic Studio Solo Strings; this is my first day with them. I've written a really short piece to explore the sound of these fantastic instruments, and I blend CSS and CSSS together, too - what a sound!

00:00 Intro
00:32 Cinematic Studio Strings
01:57 Spitfire BBC SO Pro
03:48 Intro to CSSS
04:32 Cinematic Studio Solo Strings
06:35 CSS blended with CSSS
07:56 New colours with CSSS
08:45 Go check out Simon Passmore
09:24 Blending in CSSS
10:57 My string buss

All three tracks are on my Soundcloud:   / cjtde  

Thanks to @simonpassmore for his exceptional videos on how to make CSS sound brilliant.
