I missed it in 2010... Was entertaining at least. We need a visual cue for old threads, like a pink background or something... Is even worse when mobile.

This would lead to a new condition, "going pink," and a new kind of anxiety, fear of going pink, that is, fear of your post getting too old and obsolete. It might also become a putdown of somebody who constantly rehashes old news: "Don't go pink on us, man."

Ok i started in the instrument forum and no response.  I am at the moment for my masters degree trying to replicate the track Strawberry Fields by The Beatles.  The problem is the cello, its 99.9% there but how do i emulate the bowing, that is when you play two notes that are the same, one note is bowed forward and one is bowed back.  The samples included with dimesnsion pro are all good but this is the only thing i cannot emulate.  Do i need the expansion pack or am i missing somthing.  Please help its driving me insane.  The track is sounding thunderous and i think lennon would have approved just got to fix these damm cello notes.



This is why people spend thousands of dollars to get a sample library.  The VSL orchestral cube, for example, which I use, costs upwards of $7000.  It's not just the sheer number of samples (the solo violin alone has somewhere around 25-40,000 samples) but the quality of recording as well.   Besides having a fine library, you have to have midi sequencing techniques that are focused on phrase-shaping.   MIDI makes things possible, it doesn't make things easy.  There's still a lot of work to do in order to get a natural, organic, musical sound out of sampled instruments.  If this is all too much trouble and/or expense, hire a cellist...

Thread auto-lock after a thread is a year old would solve it.

The white zone is for loading and unloading only.
If you have to load or unload, go to the white zone

You know what we're talking about... it is the only sensible thing to do.

Hate to say it, but everyone already knows tape is dead.  There is no argument there.  Nothing changed in the last 5 years.

I have a number of string libraries.  I don't think the subset of Vienna included with Kontakt will give you up/down bows.
 
Here is an inexpensive solution:

>>Sorry, I forgot that you have to have the full version of Kontakt for this.

Check out the demos on this baby.  A little spendy at $120 but I sprang for it.

Hey, BRainbow, I am going to buy that Embertone.  I have a pretty good selection, including Vienna Dimension Strings, but that is an awesome solo sound. Thanks.
