Thanks for listening Ray and Rami , I appreciate it!
If you ever attend a Symphony "pops" concert, chances are that they first saw the music a few hours before the concert. That's it. It's not passed out in advance, you just go there at 3 and get to run through it one time, then do the show at 8. Needless to say, you have to be a really good sight-reader.
My recordings have two elements, synths and strings. For the synth stuff I use every trick in the book. Slow down tempos, quantize, copy/paste, massive editing, notation programs, you name it. I cant begin to tell you how much of it is trickery.
My keyboard skills are very average, I couldnt do this in concert in a million years.
The violin stuff is usually done in a day, it comes at the very end. I usually mix it as I go, this isnt something that you can have a "mixing session" for. After it's all mixed I just drop in the fiddles. I always have two identical projects. I do all the strings in the second one and submix them into the first. It's all quite devious.

Fantastic, ornate work. Wow.
