Steinberg finally offers a trial version of their Cubase8 program, so I thought I'd give it a test drive to see how the VSL expression maps work with the Dimension Strings series.
Here's a link to a video of my experiment:
I'm impressed wih the results. Note that this recording was almost raw, using only some warming channel strip plug-ins and MIRPro24. I think the recording needs to have the wet/dry ratio on the reverb pulled way back, among other tweaks, but overall I found the test drive a success.
This was a first effort, of course, and if anyone has suggestions, they'd be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
