Studio Dimension Strings III
(sul tasto)Whispering and Breathing Strings
In our never-ending quest to sample every detail and intricacy of orchestral instruments this is the next step, capturing one of the subtlest and most delicate playing techniques in all its soft ethereal shimmer: sul tasto. In this playing technique the bow is drawn near the fingerboard, producing a magical, ethereal sound. As the bow gently moves closer to this region of the instrument, the sharpness of the tone subsides, giving way to a mellower, warmer sound – comparable to a breath or a whisper. This almost poetic and incredibly atmospheric technique is remarkably versatile. With this collection, you can harness its alluring beauty with uncompromising authenticity. Thanks to the Humanize Presets, subtle timing and pitch imperfections can be automatically applied to each individual musician in the ensemble, creating even more lifelike and emotional performances.
