Hi stone,

Any tips on getting the nice string sound like on your "take me away" track? ive been playing around with some vst's but cant seem to get that nice sound!! What plug in would give me that type of sound?


thank you

Hi Joey,

You have to find a little live snippet, there's is no other way to do those fast string licks with convincing result. What I usually do is to find a piece and program around it with a fast string sound, usually sampled live strings that you buy as libraries. You'd be surprised what you can find on classical music pieces and the strings are usually quite isolated.

Great advice. I was playing around with some String VST's over the weekend and was thinking, how the hell does Stone create that Chic string sounds. And now i know. I don't think and computer can really creat a true quality string sound, they always seem a little artifical to me.
