Re: [newmellotrongroup] Re: Advice on a new tape set

2009-04-12 by lsf5275@aol.com

In order for this to work Tracks A, B and C have to be blended tracks
 
So, for example, it works this way:
 
A is Clarinet & Flute
B is Oboe & French horn
C is Brass & 3 violins
 
AB is Flute & oboe
BC is French Horn and Brass

I don't believe you can select an individual voice. There  are two 
instruments per track, so Track A would be a blend of A1 and A2,  between Tracks A 
and B would be a blend of A2 and B1, etc..

Regarding  the Angry Strings, I really like the sound of the sample on the 
Streetly  library website. It sounds Mellotronic to me. Keep in mind that 
there is cello  on the lower half-octave or so. Another possible string sound 
is the Sad  Strings, or even the standard MkII Violins.
