Hello Andi,
I have already tried using the velocity crossfade as you mentioned. I read through the 'optimizing sibelius' pdf that you mentioned. I will experiment more with the 'Espressivo' stuff. But I am still noticing that the fader for the the vienna ensemble is not moving smoothly, especially when you do a hairpin under 4 eighth notes for example. It seems to be RESETTING on each one, and then, picking up at the velocity it left off on.
What am I missing here?

Hey Andi, yet another observation. The CC fader for the velocity x-fade is moving up and down rapidly for a hairpin crescendo. The audio effect sounds like a wah or a helicopter rotor if you understand what I'm saying. NOT a smooth transition at all, very jarring. Any idea why this is happening and how I can prevent it. -Peter

Hello Peter!
I would leave the Volume slider with CC7. By default this fader is set according to the value you have in your Sibelius mixer and should not be touched by dynamics and hairpins.
Your problems with hairpins are not normal. They work very smooth on my machine without any up and down jumping. Could it be, that you have added some Sibelius playback Plug-Ins like "Cresc./Dim Playback"? I could imagine that they mess up your playback. You don't need this plug-in for playback with Vienna Ensemble.
Best,
Andi

I do not have the plug-in's on. I do however have a big ensemble for this project. Could that be affecting it? I have Oboe, Violins 1 and 2. Violas div. Cello div and CB. Can you give me your e-mail? Perhaps I could send you the Sibelius file and the Vienna shell for this project. Thank you. -Peter

I figured it out. The violins were mistakenly sharing a channel. It seems to be working now. Thanks anyway. However, a quick question. The crescendo's are not going all the way up to the destination dynamic, but slightly under it. It then shifts up to the dynamic when the next note starts. Is there any way to fine tune this? It's very minor, but I was just wondering. Thanks -Peter Scartabello

Hey Andi, Just wondering what the most cost efficient way to get more articulations for the strings is. Right now I just have the Vienna Special Edition. I want to get harmonics on the orchestral strings. Will the SE Plus do it for me, or do I have to go up to the big individual collections? -Peter Scartabello

Hello Peter!
The SE PLUS would be a good choice to get more articulations for all instruments. Harmonics are also included there. For details take a look at this site:
http://vsl.co.at/en/211/261/314/1606/1618/596.htmIf you want to have even more articulations for a specific group of the orchestra, the dedicated libraries (like Orchestral Strings I+II) would be the way to go. You find all the details here:

http://vsl.co.at/en/211/442/344/353/586/394.htmAs for the hairpin question. You can edit the playback behaviour of hairpins with Sibelius. Select the hairpin and change the behaviour of it in the Properties window under Playback/Hairpin.
Best,

Thanks Andi. I will purchase the SE Plus when I get some money. I am liking Sibelius a bit more than Finale, it's a little more intuitive. I did a Aarre Merikanto piece that sounds pretty close to the original. Maybe you can post it on the site under Demos for others to hear. Should I send you the MP3 file? It's only about 2 minutes. It is his 2nd piece of his Ten Pieces for Orchestra, scored for strings and oboe. Ok talk soon. All the best. -Peter Scartabello
