"Hi, H.S. It really is a stream-of-consciousness kind of thing. Much like a dream would be. There are 2 major themes involved. First, that figure in the harp part that I introduced early on and then finished with. Second, the theme brought in by the…"

"I hear a little bit of Holst and Debussy in it. Not much, but nonetheless. I'm not sure what to recommend to do differently... I didn't quite catch any familiar signposts (probably intentional on your part, I think), so it was difficult…"

"As it turns out, I found a decent and more precise hi-pass filter among Logic's "legacy" AUs. Applying it, along with the tips I got on this thread about how to use it, made a huge difference."

"OK, Dave. Maybe you can help me with something. The only EQ plugin in my Logic plugin set that appears to have cut functions is the plugin called "Channel EQ" Here's a screenshot of the automation options. I've tried "low…"

"The first paragraph of the first article raised my eyebrow. Maybe not, but Logic's Score function gives the user an opportunity to prescribe these things, and more. (measures - time signatures, can be copied and pasted into a simple text…"

"II can only speak to Logic. You can export the entire array of midi regions (clips) from a Logic project. These regions retain their SMPTE positions. as well as tempo and automation data bestowed by Logic. Since midi data exists in a universal…"

"Thanks for the input, Bob. I didn't see any mentions of non-vibrato samples. In any event, I'm unlikely to find an instrument that would make me want to shell out more bucks on instruments. I've spent enough."

"Oh! one more thing. Is the flute vibrato a pitch variant or actually a tremolo? As closely as I've listened, I can't really tell. Physics tells me that it has to be a tremolo. (There shouldn't be any way to bend a note on a straight…"

"Not familiar with the music. (There were a lot of Baroque composers). Personally, I much prefer a faster, flatter vibrato. I think that the little portamentos at :50 would have been uncharacteristic for the period. It's definitely an acceptable…"

"Well, Ray. it looks like the Strad DOES use non-vibrato samples, after all. I wasn't able to find a reference to that when I was shopping around. Now, I'm seeing comments panning the Strad in favor of an instrument called "LASS…"

"Does the Stradivari have flat samples that can be controlled by pitch amplitude or for speed with some kind of LFO? That would be an absolute must for me. Man. You got that right!"

"I've been jiggering the controls of the Channel EQ on my Solo Violin track. Some of them do things that make some sense to me, and others don't. The Embertone solo strings are my prefered solo sting AUs because they give me control of the…"
