Suggestions please and this request will show my lack of regular BIAB use, as well as show my true ignroance of what's under the BIAB hood:

Etta James '60 studio version of "At Last" the lead-in/opening strings - looking for a MIDI/RT style (melodist, soloist, ?) BIAB filler riff, or other suggestions (yes, I know RT's has no strings - per se) for a lead in, outro and a bridge like constructions. I am NOT doing a cover or even a variation of "At Last" but really have an affinity for that mood and sound and have a few song ideas I'm working on which I would love to have similar constructs. And while I have access to great synth strings and string sections - alas I am NOT good enough at using my MIDI guitar or keyboards/controllers to emulate strings or string sections in a sufficiently realistic manor.

Ironically, and sadly, my request comes at a time for Ms. James that we may all want to put her in our prayers and thoughts, especially this time of year.

Thanks and Merry Christmas all!

Larry


PS side note: Those "strings" are used on a hell of a lot of Sinatra, Buble, Krall (et al) so am wondering if PG has any projects in the works to partially fill that particular void (I understand about getting musicians in the studio, in front of mic's for hours on end, to record riffs, sections of riffs, in multiple keys, tempos, ad infinitum ...and I'm sure it is a tedious, and from the musicians perspective, unfulfilling recording session). I'm actually thinking of getting the new Garritan Instant Orchestra for just such work but not sure that it fits this particular niche.

I guess the downside would be if PG does that for ballads and "cry in my Scotch" blues with strings then I guess the MoTown crowd among us(of which I am also a member) would want the studio horns/brass sections of the 60's -70's.
