Ok, bit of reading done on mixing quartets and a even more work mixing. End result =

He's a rocket scientist for his day job... You can tell by the "Dr" in the title? So it's "really" not MIDI? Really? LOL!

Robbie, You always bring a smile to my face. look -> :)

It is pretty fricken amazing what you did here... What were the plugs used if I may ask? You know, we do have one among us? Scottytunes? He is an "awesome" violinist... It's an incredibly difficult instrument to play, and people who can play it like him deserve much respect. I was fortunate enough to be able to play on a few with Mr. toons. "My high honor to do so."
 
I can play a bowed instrument? But the only thing that comes out the other end are arrows... (you don't want to be down range? I'm a pretty good musician? But I'm a better marksman ;-)
 
-----------------
 
I use EWQL Gold like most others? But I have some really good horn samples from samplemodeling.com And I really like the solo violin from East West "Gypsy?" I think they've discontinued it, but it's a really nice solo violin. And their accordions are "awesome..."

I thought the instrumentation and the parts were very well written, you have a great feel for this sort of music. I would have liked a little more light and shade from the lead, it seemed like it was all played at forte, whereas some softer lines would have given the piece some subtlety.

Thanks Robbie,
 
I just checked out his piece 'Lark Ice Medley' cool playing :)
 
 I'll have to get you to record some of your bowing for a future King Arthur or Robin Hood style piece. ;)
 
The plugs are Hollywood strings gold. The lead is EWQL Violin solo. Gypsy is still available and 1 that I would like to get.

Cheers Wayne,


 I think I'm done on this one though. I'll give it a break and listen back tomorrow on fresh ears.

Everything sounds really great for me and the balance works out well for the quartet. The mix sounds good and everything falls into place very nicely. Wonderful work on this piece. Enjoyed!!
 
Peace and Blessings, John

With a real ensemble it probably would sound nice - but with this midi sounds it is a disaster it sounds terrible i am sorry to say. And how did you managed to involve the hum-sound its a riddle in its own mix heaven.

That's cool, I have Gypsy. I really like it, a great solo violin. Good accordions too.
