The Saxophone is too soft. Especially in the 1st section the melody is in the same range as the two top notes of the guitar voicing, and thus sometimes the attention is drawn away from the melody-note to the guitar.
There are some velocity-skips, where one single note from a higher velocity stands out from an otherwise soft passage. The VSL saxophones are critical velocity-wise.
Hi,
The instruments vary. Sometimes I use the VSL chamber strings, sometimes the dimension strings, depending on the strength of the orchestra. Sometimes I add a small amount of solo violin to the violins to make them a bit more direct. Anyway, I never have a premeditated plan. It's always the result of being my own critic: what library serves best the purpose here?
All the best!
