There is an unusually high demand for DAWs and other types of software that can faithfully replicate the sounds of a classical orchestra and other contemporary instruments.  The producers who seek this type of software usually aren’t looking to create pop music from their computers – instead they are looking to create scores for films and documentaries; and it’s not an easy task.  This is why soundtracks are usually created from actual orchestras and live musicians, as it is difficult to replicate the true sound of an orchestra.  Still, software engineers are getting better at creating these programs, and have taken various approaches to give the producer the best set of tools.
