Hi Beat,
Thanks for listening and for your valuable suggestions. My wife, Rebecca stated: "wow, he's good!" when she read your comment, figuring you had sharp ears. Then she noticed that I had already alluded to the fact that the solo violin is outside the VSL universe and she goes, "oh, well, doesn't that give it away that the violin sounds out of place." LOL! In all seriousness, I know you have sharp ears and would have made that observation regardless.
In fact, not only is the solo violin sounding like it's in a different space, so too are the Synchron Strings. For now, we have adjusted the solo violin's own built in reverb to match as close as we could to the Mir hall (without using any Miracle), because due to a glitch in the VE Pro 7 software, any non-VSL instrument that we click on in Mir, makes the whole stage interface disappear! There is a thread that documents this on the forum, and for which I have yet to contact VSL support to address, due to them being swamped with the transition to I-Lok. Needless to say, when we finish everything else, we'll likely do what you've suggested as that has been our approach with past works prior to this VE Pro glitch.
Thanks also for sharing your own example with the Fujara Flute (nice!) Your work helping others on this forum is always appreciated, and I count myself among them :)
Cheers!
Dave
