Hi,

I programmed Nimrod by Elgar. I only used the VI Series (mainly SE1+2 and Apa-Strings).

For Mixing I used the TeldexMirx, some EQs, Parallel Compression and Saturation.

I think, the programming itself is quite good, but I am not a Mixing Engeneer. I feel like, it sounds a bit flat (and not only because of the Parallel Compression, but because of the Saturation).

What are your opinions on this? Honest feedback would be really appreciated.

Greetings, Jan

if you really want an honest opinion then I will give it - it does sound to me a bit flat and there is little in the way of through phrasing -- it's all rather bitty somehow. There's nothing really bad and one has to take into account there is a limit to what one can reasonably do with the VI Special Edition. For me, such a library is too clinical to give the sort of glow and fervour one really needs for this particular music unless you put a huge amount of effort into moulding it and even then, it's not so straightforward -- I doubt I'd have done any better. Perhaps something like the Appassionata Strings would be more the ticket here, not sure.
