I had posted a question elsewhere in these forums about tracking nylon string. When I first started working on this song, a lead part done on the nylon on the upper (unwound) strings really interfered with the piano part, so I retracked the lead on the lower strings, which seems to work better. There's a nylon string rhythm track in there, too, but it pretty much disappeared behind the piano.
Also was trying out the VSCO2 string section VSTis - this song has 5 separate tracks of those - 2 violin, 1 viola, 1 cello and 1 double bass. Definitely like doing strings this way for the overall sound rather than using the same VSTi (or keyboard) string sound for each part.
