I'm  not a fan  of James Horner.. Avatar sounded like Titanic outtakes to me. The 16th note  big drums and orchestra is just a bit  cliche.

Wow..That was helpful. The Vienna Orch lib looks like fun.
The new  choirs in Kontakt-4 should be good too.
"The choir voices can seamlessly  morph the vowels ("A-E-I-O-U") while holding a key/note, which is nearly  impossible with other samplers."

I think I heard some of that choir  morphing in the Avatar soundtrack.

Looks like a long list of 3rd party sample libraries. Can I  use Kontakt with Ableton Live? I bloody well hope so.
