Two classical pieces

These are the first two demo's I've made today with my new string library, Kirk Hunter's Concert Strings II. Still learning how to get it all done...!

String quartet:
Just a quarter

Full string orchestra:
In time

Sonar 8.5 PE, Edirol FA-66, Behringer C-1. All instruments in my songs are VSTi's.

    hey those Strings sound really good...very tempted by the GB! I preferred In Time because you have used different articulations to good effect. Just a Quarter needs a little more work on those pesky CCs to sound really convincing, but overall an excellent pair of tunes!

    They're just OK in my opinion. The Albion strings in your other piece sound much more sophisticated.

    Thanks for listening and the comments. Yes, it was my first piece (Just a quarter) and I was too impatient to get the most out of those pesky CC's... Albion sound different indeed, but it doesn't give me enough control over everything, at least not some things I also like to do. For big and quick orchestra stuff, Albion is great.

    Hey Jeroen

    Good to see you back working and posting again. Out of the two I preferrred In time in terms of "realism". I think these string sounds would sound really good combined with something in your pop/rock style.

    Still patiently waiting for Yellow Light 2... you done that re-mix yet ?

    Wow, I am impressed, only the trained ear would guess that this was a VST instrument, just be aware in mastering, the first track looked pretty compressed, this is suppose to be classical music, so it doesn't need to be so heavy with compression, this is less of a problem with the second track.

    It's a pity Sonar havent introduced indivdual note editing like Cubase, this would give you better tools to perfect the nuances of real players.

    But I impressed, great job, Peace Ben

    Hi Jeroen,

    Both pieces sound great on my cheap headphones. 

    Excellent work!
