  • Which strings for the studio setup in this video ?

    I have Chamber Strings II so far and I'm trying to decide whether solo strings 1 or Chamber Strings 1 are better for mockups of this type. Some of the demos around here for Solo Strings almost sound better for this type than Chamber but I just don't know. I don't see Appasionatta as fitting this at all. The string arrangement here also reminds me a bit of some Simon Hale things I like. What do you experts think would be the better choice for me to get this type of effect ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohSrY6DOA2I By the way, check out the riff Randall plays just before starting. Kinda funny.

  • Hey Mello, from what I can make out from the video, there are only a couple of each instrument at most, so I'd agree you're probably best just using solo strings to get this warm intimate sound!
