how? increase high end frequencies, drown them in reverb? or get a sample bank somewhere? please help. |
||||||||
|

it's probably better to make them sound less realistic. |
||||||||

use sampled strings? |
||||||||
|

|
or 'real' strings? |

well I dont have an orchrestra or even a string quartet within reach at the moment, and I dont have any samples.. where at? |

you can get violin samples... then you can load them into your sampler for pitch detune. |

Combining a couple of sawtooth-wave oscillators might work. Maybe one of them could be the main tone and the other could be slightly detuned, then apply reverb. This concept was demonstrated on a CD that came with an issue of Future Music that I bought about 6 years ago. |

i remember using an embracer (cubas sx) which made some pretty realistic strings! |

impossible. |

an effective way is to lay down several tracks of synthetic strings for full flexibility of composition then taking small sections of sampled strings (even a simple wave cycle) and make them loop and fade in and out in time with your synthetic pattern, this will add realistic harmmonies and violin noise and greatly improve the realness of the sound if done well but it can be a real pain in the ass to achieve a satisfactory result :D |

Combing filters are usually the best for this. |
||||||||

But r4of is right. Why make synth sounds sound real, when they sound perfectly beautifull sounding synthetic. |
||||||||

I want realistic sounding strings when recording certain tracks that I'm playing actual acoustic instruments on. keyboard synths can sound pretty silly in that mix. what's a combing filter? like an FFT filter |
||||||||
|

|
|
nah its like a filter whose frequency response looks like a comb |
||||||||
|
|

its all about the PWM...pparrently http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Mar03/articles/synthsecrets 47.asp |

Its a really strong resonant filter. Like steve mcqueen said, it creates a wavform that looks like a comb, through feedback that it causes in its outputed wav (in simple terms). It can make thing sound either really metalic or really organic, depending on what kind of wav the base sounds are made with. I can get one to sound like pretty much any kind of string instrument with fairly basic DSP knowledge. |

well, in my opinion, syn.strings sound as they are, syn.strings, producers like RZA from the Wu, uses them for me like no one else right now, but if what you really want is a real string sound, you must go to your albums and try to find what you want on them. Clasical, you can find very nice parts on minimal contemporanean music like phillip glass or steve reich... |
