How to mix Strings?

Keep in mind that almost all the articulations in Symphonic Orchestra Silver and Gold are distance-mic'd; in effect, this means they're already coated in natural reverb and shouldn't need any more.
 
if you are using those 60-70 pieces you are fighting for space on the mix.

you have to compromise. that's what mixing is all about.
get your levels sorted first and do the usual mixing job.

If you need more help try a free plugin called prodyspace.
