Hi guys,
I will soon be recording with my band again. Thinking about it, I said to myself that a string sound would be perfect for one of the songs. It's a straight-forward trio rock song, with a chorus that has a quite 'paddy' quality to it. My idea was to enhance this quality by a nice, warm and mellow string chord sound. I definitely don't want a synth sound, but can't afford to pay for a real string section just to know that it sounds like sh*t in the end. It's not that I want an 80-people-symphonic-orchestra kinda sound, but even a classical string quartet isn't inexpensive. So, I'm just going to be experimenting here. I think I have some quite good sounfonts at hand to let it give a realistic impression.
My question now is:
Does anybody of you have experience in doing things like these? How should I attack this?
Anybody?
Thanks in advance,
David.
