My example is of the 3 complete Strings libs i have, where 1 has more presence in the base samples than the other 2. So i have to be careful not to add too much to 1, and a little more to the other 2. (And this is also true when blending "bright" string sections with those that are duller. the duller samples tend to need a bit more presence, and the bright samples survive with less, but conversely, also need EQ'ing a little, to not stand out so much.) This is true of most commercial sample libs on the market, in my experience, and blending string sections (including adding 2 or 3 solo strings for a bit more of a human touch) can be a bit of a challenge as a result, hence multiple verb instances, where a section or instrument might be pre-verbed a little, before it joins the main output. (and this was considered a normal practise when sample libs were less consistent across sections than they are now.)
