[Fmpro] SPAM -> okay here's a production question: Miroslav vs. Vienna

Hi Todd,

Depending on what you are going for, you may want to try messing with the
ADSR of the patch.  Especially making the release longer.  This will allow
the last note to blend in with the next, assuming you are playing the sounds
from a keyboard.

Also, be sure you are either using samples that are recorded with full
sustain (non-looped) or are at least adding a little "life" to it by
recording in some volume changes during the sustain.

Best of luck!

Subject: SPAM -> [Fmpro] okay here's a production question: Miroslav vs.
Vienna

Hi,

I've got the Miroslav Phiharmonik plug-in and just bought the Vienna  
Special Edition plug-in.  Both are essentially full orchestra virtual  
instruments, though the Vienna package is more basic.

I've done strings with both.  Miroslav is kind of set up already with  
the panning and ambience, which is convenient for my needs, and I  
think they sound great.  My first attempt with the Vienna Special  
Edition using a similar formula in my arranging and mixing was a bit  
disappointing, and I think it comes down to my lack of knowing how  
the get a more realistic setting with ambience and then overall  
reverb.  I'm using the Altiverb convolution reverb plug-in.  I was  
specifically trying to get a warm, lush sound using long, sustained  
parts.  Is that enough info?

Any thoughts?

Todd
