You can just play around with the settings. I do use panning to give some width to an ensemble. I (earlier) used the Ambience Reverb in Finale which can be combined with the Convolution Reverb (several corresponds on the Finale forum do this.) I use the "dry" setting to get loudness (direct instrument to mike) and the "wet" setting to give a "woody" or "echoey" sound (echoes from the walls before hitting the mike.) There are other settings, but I rarely adjust these as I'm not really familiar with using an equalizer. (Solo strings are a bit different.) The Garritan manual for GPO4 has a description of how to use the contained instruments. The big concert halls do sound good with string sections. I generally get the music (at least some of the themes, arrangements, and orchestration) and listen to various reverb settings. I (of late) like to use the Convolution Reverb provided in the Aria Player. Other programs may be similar but differ in details. What program are you using to play the Garritan Strings? I can describe a bit of what I do in Finale.
