Thank you all for these useful comments.
I have spent some time playing with VelXfade, Rel... and still not
convincing by "my" overall violins sound. As I am convinced that VSL
samples are (amongst) the greatests, let's put it on the way I am
handling them...
The piece I am trying to reproduce is G. Delerue, Le mépris (aka
Contempt), Theme de Camille (also on the soundtrack Casino,
M.Scorsese).
It is very close to S. Barber's Adagio, covered with Orchestral Strings VSL by Michael Hula/Dietz Tinhof (Demo Zone).
As M. Hula does not give the details of which samples he used, I just
have one question : are the Orchestral Strings far more adapted for
this kind of piece than Appassionata Strings I Standard ?
And... thanks this very helpful VSL Community !

You're right, it is one of the tests I choose a bit too quickly to upload : not my best legato playing.
I have more tests, more legatos, some with Expression (CC11), some with VelXfade or others.True that I am a bit confused between CC11 and VelXfade.I have to sort out all this stuff.
I will come back asap with different files, and you may tell me more.
After all, I may be not compatible with VI (I think I gonna keep this one as a quote [:)])

You can do without Expression. You can't do without velocity xFade. I would suggest for these test you upload mp3 rather than wav and with minimum reverb, to make it easier to hear what's going on. It also might be worth uploading a MIDI file of your performance, so that we can see what's going on.

I'll try to have a look at this tomorrow, but may not have time until later in the week, as I have a very busy mix schedule. Hopefully someone else will have time before then.
OK, I couldn't' resist having a little play with your MIDI file. If you PM me your email address, I'll send you the new file, to see what you think.
