I'm strictly Linux, here is my Linux instructions for the install.

Once you find a copy of fluid sound fonts, the trick is make sure the file path in LMMS is directed to them.

I noticed that DSK Plugins crashes.
My LMMS frezzed and i can't do anything
Only DSK Overture works
I am on Linux like eino, but some of those dsk plugins, make my lmms very unstable too. (crashing)
There is only one way to find out, if they are any good. Best is to first safe you're project, under a different name.

"orchestral strings" is seriously broad-spectrum. What sound are you looking for? If you have a link and timestamp, its much simpler to give you advices. I like the ones in zasfx folder 'Strings', btw

I am looking for dramatic strings (like in overwerks canon

)
here is the link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWpX4We62dg
and a good brass (also in overwerks canon)
but i have found something like that (sounds nice)
but must work on this song
and for that i need a bit better strings (soundfont)
and better brass (soundfont)
if nothing is there then i have to deal with the actually used soundfonts

Anyway DSK Strings is very good
I heared a bit before it crashed
But i cannot use it

ok, but what is the time-stamp in that video where the strings are most audible? Is it the pizzicati strings in the start, or the fills later in?
( -Besides that -Have you thought about why you like Overwerks music? -Because it is unique- right? So is there really a good reason to try to 'copy' either his style or his instruments? Wouldent it be better to be unique too? )

I don't want to copy his music.
But I like his style and try do make electro house too!
I am a beginner, so I must try a lot to find a style that i like to produce.
For example my first song isn't similar to overewerks songs.
I like his music and I will try to make electro house/complextro to.
I don't know which kind of music i should produce.
But i like this one too (its kind of edm or so)

Yes! You got the right idea

.
You shouldn't copy his music, but you can take inspirations from his music and do the same genre.
Good luck
