This type of excersize is considered a very good one for a starter in samples! And this mock-up sounds very good actually! (what sample library, if I may ask?)

Elkdkatt: Sample libraries are NOT orchestras, and certainly have flaws, so when one is striving to use it in a realistic manner, one should try to, exactly, hide it's flaws. Usually people write specifically for a sample library, knowing the weakness and strengths however. In an idiomatic sense for... the computer mock-up! You get to use realistic sounds to do something which is near impossible in a real orchestra. If the plan on making a mock-up as the final product (eg. I'm doing that for the computer games I'm working on), then it's a great idea. If you want, exactly a mock-up for the director to use before you go hit the recording studios, then you do need realistic results...

The reveb sounds not dry, not at all, but of... bad quality! What is it? Reverb only will add to the realism, it's not there to hide anything, it's there to put your orchestra into a realistic space...
