    Dear all,

    I'm in desperate need of help refining a section of a piece that calls for my Appassionata strings to play melodic lines. The lines are for 1st violins and celli. Try as I might, I can't get the lines to sound authentic and I just don't know what to do. I have the Horizon Series strings in VSL format but am trying to limit myself to using the Appassionatas in Vienna Instrument format because they are darker and richer. Would anyone be willing to look at a MIDI file containing the notes and the program changes I've done with an eye toward helping me refine my performance? I don't have time to purchase another library as a deadline is fast approaching and I would be better off striking the section rather than ordering and installing new strings at this time.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. MIDI file is attached. Please write back privately to kevjazz@gmail.com with any thoughts.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

     If you're willing to take public criticism, it could be beneficial to the VSL community to see what the gurus have to say!

     I'm blind and can''t find the button to attach the file to the post.  All I can find are imoticons and tags.  Where and how do I upload a file?

    Thanks

    uploading is not enabled - if you want email me the file to put it into your personal folder

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    Dear CM,

    Thanks for your note.   How do I send you a file that others can download and work on it so I can learn more about how to use my strings better?
