    any violin tracking techniques?

    A pickup?? Is it an electric? If so, the fiddle won't make any sound, the sound will come out an amp. If it's an acoustic with a pickup, it's assumedly not a very good instrument as most violinists wouldnt be caught dead using one.;) That said, the sound of a pickup might be appropriate for...

    Fake orchestra

    For a soundtrack: Panning is wider Reverb is MUCH different Sound is compressed/eq'ed/altered. Instrumention is usually a hybrid of real people and synths. There are overdubs. Symphony recordings tend to be au Naturale, as much as possible. The concert hall is what you are hearing, it acts as...

    Fake orchestra

    Right. The attacks on GPO solo strings are slow. They are meant for lyrical passages. The key IMO is the mix, burying the solo stuff under the section to fill it out but not affect the articulation. It's not as crisp as the first. I like the second too. Again, it sounds like a film score, I...

    Fake orchestra

    GPO (which I also use) has solo strings and section strings. I use both and overdub them. The sound is pretty cool. I wouldnt confuse it for a real orchestra, but it's not really that important in soundtracks. I don't like the Timpani in GPO, too hard of a mallet. I also don't like the GPO...

    "String Concerto No. 1 in D minor"

    99% of the time, a concerto is for a solo instrument with orchestra accomp, i.e. "Piano Concerto", or "Cello Concerto". Concertos usually have 3 mvmts. The first mvmt is " Exposition-Development-Recapitulation". Grab a theory book.;)

    Newbie Here - How's my first test recording?

    I do too with Sonar. Even if my computer could handle it ( it cant:D), the editing is why I do it. I can phrase much better.

    Newbie Here - How's my first test recording?

    Record them. VSTs can take a lot pf power. What I do is actually record them. That way you can edit them a lot better, like drawing fades on strings etc. I dont know how you do it in cubase, but you probably solo the track, select it then go to "edit-bounce" or something. It bounces that...

    Newbie Here - How's my first test recording?

    It's a little flat. You're "A" doesnt match the synth "A". Its not bad, but singing a little higher will make it brighter. The vocals could be louder, they sound very good and you can make them up front. The reverb might be too much. I like the sound, but you sacrifice diction. Maybe use 70...

    Newbie Here - How's my first test recording?

    Very good, nice to hear something different.:cool: The low strings need a faster attack, it would sound more realistic. They tend to sound a little "waaaaaaaah" in the middle. Vocals are great, is that you?

    Maybe I'm Amazed Cover

    It doesnt flow very well. The vocals are fine. Personally, I would stick the piano more center. Its a good recording, it just needs to keep moving a little more.:)

    I'm doing broadway now!!! Critique please

    The mix is fine. The singer is errr, ummm, ahhhh, not acceptable.:o She really needs to work on her timing a LOT, and her pitch.

    Stop calling yourself a "PRODUCER".

    Actually it was 2 cents worth as you are missing Rami's point: Many people go out and "buy", errr, steal, fruityloops et al. 5 minutes after it is installed, they are on the interwebs calling themself "producer". This is wrong. If I buy a stethoscope, I am not a "doctor". I am a putz with a...
