    Unfortunately I can´t find it anymore. It was giving quite precesive EQ-settings for a warmer more Hollywood like string-sound.

    I don't ever remember seeing such a thread. But it would certainly be awesome if it were around and someone found it.

    regards from Holland

    mabyy this is one way to do it

    only for the Violins and a little eq on the violas,

    +/- 1350 hz , narrow band

    +/- 2900 hz , narrow band

    a little boost in the upper range of the scpectrum give

    some more rosin

    have fun

    These figures sound familiar! :-) ... although I tend to do less in the 1k-range, more around 3.5k. ... and adding some "air" is always nice when you aim for a breathy, modern sound.

    Back when we had the previous forum software SvK did a posting of his channel EQ presets in Logic for Appasssionata Vlns, Va's, VC's and Basses.

    That's probably the string you're looking for.

    It could be hard to find with the newer search software.

    It was quite interesting to many of us. Maybe someday he will take the time to revisit this.

    Here is the original post from another nice forum: http://vi-control.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5961&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=vsl&start=0

    where all the pics of the eq presets are gone, I´m afraid, but I saved them and you can download them here:

    Read the first one if you want to read Dietz comments and more.

    Hi Jonny, thank you very much! That helped a lot.

    No problem. I assumed it´s ok with Svonkampen (SvK) if I share it. If not he may give me a slap and I´ll remove the link.

    Hello Johnny

    the link to  http://hem.bredband.net/b807883/Here%20are%20the%20EQ%20settings%20for%20VSL%20strings%20By%20SvK.zip

    is broken

    Is it possible that you mend it

    Thanks

    If you go to the first site

    http://vi-control.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5961&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=vsl&start=0

    about half-way down the first page, Scott Miller attached a zip file containing the EQ settings as presets in Logic.  Hope this helps.

    Thanks for your help, Unfortunately I'm on windows. Could anyone working with logic open the 4 presets and post those settings for those of us who are on windows ? Thanks

    Hi folks. Also looking for the EQ preset references - could anyone kindly repost?

    On another thought - are the EQ presets posted here similar in nature to what the Vienna Suite comes with? I'm trying to get specific guidance, but I don't need another EQ in my arsenal...I might demo them just to check out the settings, but not interested in the plugins themselves.

    Hi all,

    if I fire up my daw today, I`ll upload the files to some host and post the link here.

    Merry Christmas!

    Apart from the fact that there are 500+ tailor-made presets for Vienna Instruments available with Vienna Suite, the four presets mentioned above seem to serve a similar purpose. 😊

    Kind regards,

    Johnny - thanks so much in advance. Once you upload it, I'll re-post it here with a link to my own server, which is pretty much permanent - for the benefit of the community.

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS and best wishes all around.

    Dietz - the presets are very much appreciated. But since mixing is subjective - I just need a few starting points, don't need 500+ presets which I'm not going to have the time to appreciate anyway. PLUS - I trust my current tools (EQs / compressors) which I rely on daily. I don't need another car if all I'm asking for is directions... But thanks for pitching your product ;).

    Best regards and happy holidays everyone, including our guru Dietz,

    /Johnny

    Ps. If you want eq suggestions/startingpoints for just about all the vsl instruments, be sure to check out the vienna suite too. :-)

    AND! Be sure to thank SvK in any way, maybe in another great forum called vi-control? ;-)

    MANY THANKS to SvK for making it available in the first place, and to Johnny for reposting.

    I uploaded it here for reference: http://melodylab.com/community/eq_settings_vsl_strings_by_svk.rar
