Hi guys,
I did thishttp://www.bogside.at/2008-11-30-09.mp3
and initially I was quite happy with the strings, but then I made the "mistake" of listening to Anakin's Theme. Can anyone help me with suggestions how to get more life into them? I'm especially bothered by the transition between samples - the appassionata strings just don't flow as well as the orchestral strings in my opinion, but, alas, I'm stuck with them. I've edited the volume curve millimeter by millimeter, and some of the sudden jumps you get when it switches to a different velocity layer are real bastards. I've also (very carefully) tweaked attack/release, but I'm not so sure about that. Maybe it's just bad orchestration or a dull mix; either way, I'd greatly appreciate some tips/comments.
Cheers
