Title: Peaceful Sleep
Post by: MarioD on November 26, 2023, 04:25:27 PM
As the grandfather clock ticks off the minutes you fall into a peaceful sleep while you are watching the news on your TV.

Actually I made some adjustments to the Swam Violin sounds and I would like your opinion on if they sound more realistic.

I am playing the Swam violin via my keyboard controller while Band-in-a-Box supplies the backing tracks.

I think it's a bit better, but such a distinctive type of instrument is extremely difficult to emulate, so don't beat yourself up over it!

Thanx Will.  I'm not going to beat myself up over it but I just wanted honest appraisals of the instruments tone.  I know I'll never get it to sound exactly like a violin.  I will say that I am a little disappointed in the Swam solo string instruments as their trumpet and sax instruments sound a lot more realistic.

Agreed. Violin is hard. Period. Things like sax and trumpet are much easier to fake ... unless you get into effects, and then all bets are off.
