Description
by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
Another crack at orchestral strings in GarageBand '11. Much attention to dynamics, whether players would be sawing away legato, or lifting the bow between notes, and how much "dig" on the attack. This meant making track by track, note by note volume changes for attack and sustain / decay on about 1/4 of the notes in the piece. Tedious, but I believe it helps.
I'll also be on the lookout for string samples in soundfonts, etc. for next time.

...but your results are awfully good. There is a feeling here that you are recording this live, though in a VERY resonant hall. Strings are so hard to simulate with plug-ins, but I think you have shown there are great possibilities out there. I do not have the patience for this way of working, but I certainly can appreciate the time-consuming work you put in on this.
