That is beautiful Martin, nothing short of perfection.
That sound and style are exactly why I don't try to do Solo Saxophones or Solo Strings.
I don't care how pretty the jpeg. of the Chamber and instruments look in these Romplers.........they cannot compare, and suck major ButtCrack.
These are real instruments by a real performer, and an excellent performance I might add, stunning intonation.
I hope if I ever have the need for such detailed scoring you would consider contacting your talents.
Awesome, really.

Thanks, I sit here and listen to it again and again. Man, that sound has really come close to what I want & the best thing is:
It was not complicated at all, but yes I had at least 10 trys for every track, to get that intonation. Once again I recognized that my vibrato is still bullshit, that needs time to learn & I'm best with that motion for it on the cello, but my intonation is worst on cello

The sound comes mainly from what I learned in the last time manipulating the violin as a real instrument, not as a recorded sound. When real violonists see my instruments, they get heart-attacks, really. My viola looks like a child killed it over a chair (and that is in fact the story of that viola

). They say: why did you do that???? And I say: Because I like that sound. That harmonies happen when adding one track after another and turning off thinking. It's just improvisation and then I looped and handled it like a dance-track (muting objects), of course.
