[Fmpro] digital orchestration and mix advice

[Christopher Alpiar]

Hi all, I have been just getting back to DP after a few years away in  
Cubase land and remembering all the nuance of this DAW. I am wondering  
if any on the list could spare a few minutes to listen to a piece I am  
working on - I am kind of stuck. Its like 80-90% there and while there  
are some really nice moments there are some moments I am not happy  
with at all. I think if it was played by a live orchestra it would  
work very nicely. Since I am limited currently with a digital mix and  
a little of my soprano sax, I would like to ask for any suggestions on  
things I can do to make these ideas come across staying in my VSL/DP  
domain, especially ideas on making the triplet lines in the strings  
less mushy. I am in no means fishing for compliments, rather I feel  
like I am really close to something good but I am not seeing the  
solution and am hoping some of you old pros can give me some ideas, on  
or off list is fine.
